Thursday Monkey Newsfeed: QT Double-Feature

By William Akers

Not much in the news today, but you deserve to see this rap of “I Wandered Lonely As a Cloud” set to a video of a dancing squirrel. I guess it makes me want to go to the Lake District? Whatever. Tarantino blather is waiting for you beyond the jump.

Further Chatter of Weinstein Matter
There’s been more talk today that the Weinstein Company is going to pull the three hour version of “Grindhouse” from theaters, possibly as early as this weekend. “Grindhouse” tanked last weekend, of course, and though nobody knows why, it seems like their best idea is to undo what made the movie different in the first place. Or perhaps they’re just circulating rumors to get people motivated to go see the long version before it’s taken away forever.

Dead Broad Gets Cinesized
“Dancer-Singer” Willa Ford has been cast in an indie biopic of barely cold Anna Nicole Smith. The film will cover the life of the model and TV personality from 17 to her death at 39, and will hit all the highlights, including her success as a Guess Jeans girl, Playboy centerfold and wife of oil billionare J. Howard Marshall II.

Fun At Home With Tarantino!
Since there wasn’t much on the wires today, I thought I’d share with you a game my brother invented called Tarantino’s Face. Find an interview with Quentin on a DVD or YouTube, and hit pause randomly during one of his extended gesticulatory monologues. Now try not to laugh at his ridiculous facial expresion. It’s fun for hours, kids.

In Brief…
-ScreenGrab asks the question, if nerds argue about “Grindhouse,” will anyone give a damn?
(Answer: …mmm…probably.)
