Quentin Tarantino's Recent Deadline Interview

The Hollywood news site Deadline recently published a two-part interview with Quentin Tarantino--dealing with, among much else, his experience with attempting to film a version of Casino Royale back in the '90s, his thoughts on the age of streaming, and his plans for his next, tenth and (he has long declared) last, film, The Movie Critic.

I will have more to say about this in upcoming posts--but perhaps what was most striking was, arguably, how Tarantino, who in many ways epitomized and represented the '90s indie film scene that was supposed to be the "cool new thing," bringing a measure of vibrancy to the recorporatized, stultified and stultifying post-New Hollywood Hollywood, sixty years old now, is now the old man longingly looking backward as the world changes and giving the impression that it has passed him by as he talks about the theatrical experience, and the ephemeral, never-making-it-into-the-zeitgeist character of streaming content.
