Rosanna Arquette Attacks Quentin Tarantino for Use of the N-Word as "Racist and Creepy," Tarantino Snipes Back That She's Irrelevant, Old, and Looking for Headlines to Advertise a New Movie She Directed

Variety
@Variety
Mar 9
Quentin Tarantino fires back at "Pulp Fiction" star Rosanna Arquette after she criticized his use of the N-word in movies as "racist and creepy."
"Dear Rosanna,
I hope the publicity you're getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of?
Do you feel this way now?
Very possibly.
But after I gave you a job, and you took the money, to trash it for what I suspect is very cynical reasons, shows a decided lack of class, no less honor.
There is supposed to be an esprit de corps between artistic colleagues.
But it would appear the objective was accomplished.
Congratulations
Q"

I find Tarantino's constant use of the n-word annoying as I find many of his "I'm so cool" tics annoying.

But racist? No, not if you know anything about him.

He had no father. His mother dated a black guy. Without any other male role model, Tarantino copied this black guy's mannerisms and sayings.

Whenever you hear a Tarantino character say something that sounds "black", like "we got everything here from a diddle-eyed-joe to a damned-if-I-know," that is probably a direct lift from this black guy that Tarantino took as a surrogate father.

Why do Tarantino characters constantly reference blaxploitation movies? Why does Tarrantino have an encyclopedic knowledge of blaxploitation movies, and regards them as high art?

Because Tarantino used to watch those movies with this black guy.

So why does Tarantino say the n-word all the time? Because he heard his surrogate father figure always using it, and he thought it sounded so cool. And he's a lonely geek who has always sought ways to seem cool.

Does that get him a pass? Well, I don't even know if a "pass" is needed to use a word in an artistic medium, particularly when we hear every single black male celebrity saying it, but yeah, if a pass is even needed, I'd say that gets him a pass.

Should he have also cut out Hans Lanza saying "Jew" and "Jews are like rats" in Inglorius Basterds? Or is it singularly the n-word that is off limits?

The guy is annoying, no doubt. And his thing with feet is fetishistic.

But racist? He hero-worships a black guy his mom used to date and imitates him in what they tell me is the highest form of flattery. That's racist now, too?

Tell me -- what is not racist, now, exactly?

Rosanna Arquette, meanwhile, is trash. She has always been a famewhore and liar. You may have heard that Toto's song "Rosanna" was written for or about Rosanna Arquette. If you heard that, you heard that ultimately from Rosanne Arquette, who put that lie around the media to make her -- then an unknown actress -- seem important.

In fact, the guys from Toto say the song was written about a member's girlfriend, not Arquette. The song was called "Rochelle" or something -- whatever her name was -- but that didn't fit the meter. They met Rosanna Arquette, realized "Rosanna" fit the three-beat meter, and changed the song title to that.

That doesn't make the song "for" her or "about" her. She just had a name with three syllables they thought would make a better lyric than "Rochelle."

As they say, "that bitch road our coattails for twenty years."

Is this something?

Since the nineties, I've heard Steven Spielberg was trying to make some kind of movie about aliens. I think he was working on a project for years called "Watch the Skies" or "Dark Skies" or something.

Well, he finally made another alien movie.

I'll leave it up to you if this is something.

And here's something. I tried to watch The IT Crowd because I heard it was good, and because it was written by Graham Lineman, the Irish comedy writer cancelled because he (checks notes) opposes chopping off children's genitals or breasts.

It didn't click with me. It was too silly.

However, I watched an episode a few weeks ago that I really liked, and that got me into the show. Apparently other people think it's a top episode too.

So here's "Italian for Beginners." It starts off a little slow because he's doing all the set-up for the punchlines that come in the last ten minutes. It's worth being a little patient with.

As for the premise of the show: Jen is kind of a con artist who bluffs her way into a job at a company that produces... I have no idea. I don't know if they ever bother to say.

She creates a job called "Human Relations" which will help the IT department interface with the company's normal people. She has no technical skills and I don't know if she has any skills of any kind. She's not stupid, but nor is she weighted down by usefulness or talent.

That's all you really have to know.

And I have to warn you again: it's slow in the beginning, just set-ups and silliness without laughs. It all pays off at the end.

75 A thing I find funny is that if you look up anyone, including actresses and actors, like for instance Rosanna Arquette you will get all contemporary photos of her. You have to scroll a bajillion pages, a long time, or use specific date ranges in the search to not get pruney decrepit septuagenarian pictures. Never any period photos even for actresses known for their looks at a certain time.

I don't think it always did that. But it certainly does now. Why? Do the internets think we're stalkers and need current up-to-date photos for positive identification. I mostly don't even care what they look like now.

83 Tarantino has an affection for gritty grindhouse type movies. He used to work in a video store, and that contributed to his encyclopedic film knowledge. So in a way, he sort of makes the kind of movies he would enjoy watching himself.
Personally, I like most of his movies, with the exception of Django and Hateful Eight.
As far as Rosanna Arquette goes, she was happy to be in Pulp Fiction at the time, so her bitching about the N word now seems insincere. She did show her bubbies in a lot of her movies though, so I'll give her a pass.

99 IT Crowd is brilliant but funny in an absurd and exaggerated depiction of corporate world.

Some people like that, others don't.

Another funny series is Vicar of Dibley (even if a slight bit woke).

And Lineham was a writer on Father Ted which is even more absurdist comedy. Hit or miss as to whether you find that style of comedy funny or not. Like Monty Python, you will like the IT Crowd and Father Ted.

But...BUT...why don't the rules that apply to say...me...also apply to him?

And the answer is NOT because he had a black surrogate father. Its because he's a popular hollywood figure.

This is also why Roman Polanski gets a pass. And on and on

So...by the rules the left claims to believe Tarantino has been proven racist and should be cancelled.

I quite enjoyed Hateful 8.

And the early parts of Deathproof are cinema. Really, one of the best performances from Kurt Russell since Soldier. It's the third act where Tarantino goes--wait, this is supposed to be a B-movie tribute--and it goes all B-movie in a hurry. (Which I guess is an artistic choice...)

American actors don't do well in acidic humor and sarcasm as a rule. You have to be a bit misanthropic to do it correctly. Same difference in the British "The Office" starring Ricky Gervais compared to the American "The Office" with Carrey. Carrey is a likable goof along with the rest of the cast. The British comedy with Gervais is playing it straight while being a right bastard so that the audience laughs at him rather than the situation. And his office has not so lovable misfits as the American version.

I prefer the British version myself.

Me either.
Haven't stepped in a theater since like 2008.
Even then there was about 15 or 20 minutes of announcements, ads, and trailers before the feature started.

I do recall thinking the trailers were a great part of the theater experience back in the 80s & 90s before the internet arrived.

Now you can watch the trailers on YouTube anytime you want.

188 Tarantino is like The Cramps - I love a lot of his movies, but I also love the call back to often overlooked fringe and low art stuff from the past. He is not just talented, but he appreciates the history. Not just in the themes and actors, but in the way he uses language. It feels like he recorded in his mind every little bit of interesting culture and pumped it into his movies.

The problem is, that font ran dry and I still like him, but not in the same way (for example the Diddle eye joe line the Ace mentioned was used in a couple of his movies.)

The Cramps were like that - at their concerts they played the most greatest and offbeat songs from the 50s that I had never heard of. I have a whole series of (I think Rhino?) albums - Songs the Cramps Taught us. Same with Tarantino - on his earlier movies I would watch, and then want to watch a dozen other movies that inspired it.

I met her the the summer of 1982, shortly after my bff and I moved to LA. A photographer (I think his last name Hagopian) liked my friend and somehow was connected to Toto and through them, knew Roseanna.

The three of us were literally walking on Ventura Blvd. and Roseanna was walking the other way. He introduced us and after we parted ways, he told us that was the "Roseanna" of the song. She was cute but sort of a hippy (and this was the preppy era). I was more impressed with her relationship to Uncle Charlie Weaver.

261 The eggplant half, or the cantaloupe half?
Posted by: davidt

This bit bothered me, and I think flawed the whole scene.

To an Italian, calling him an eggplant is mulignana (Naples Italian, I am not sure about Sicilian) is a slang word for "black." (Not the n word slang, but maybe the c word.)

Hopper should have known that but his response about cantaloupe sounds like he didn't. I mean, if he knew so much about the area, he should had known that.

The last 20 minutes or so is probably my favorite section of any Tarrantino film.

It's almost cathartic just watching Tex and the two girls get beaten to hell, mauled, and fried to a crisp.

It's really the easiest Tarrantino film to watch, nothing too outrageous or crazy until the end when you're just waiting to see how it all ends up.

And I only recently figured out that (a really cute) Sidney Swinney plays the girl at the screendoor of the main house when Brad Pitt (Cliff) goes to Spahn Ranch.

I dunno.
Tex had a gun, the girls had knives.
They broke in.
Pretty much all self defense even if Cliff was high as a kite on acid.

In 1969 California, I'm assuming it would've been justifiable.

But yeah, it's just a movie.
Tarrantino's fantasy of what should've happened, as after the Tate murder Hollywood itself changed forever (as Quentin sees it).

Ehhh. I worked enterprise IT for almost 20 years, and I've never been able to get into The IT Crowd. The jokes are all the kind of thing that people who don't know anything about the subculture think the subculture is like. It's all very "How do you do, fellow kids".

The first two and a half seasons of The Big Bang Theory - before it succumbed to estrogen poisoning - had real nerds on the writing staff, and it showed.

Does it also excuse his lack of 'esprit de corps between artistic colleagues' toward Paul Dano, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Lillard last year?

I am missing the need to care that what he sends around has come around to him.
