What follows is an imaginary conversation among possible member publications of the HFPA:
Ahh, that humble Quentin Tarantino! He said that he wasn't expecting this award, and he sounded like he really meant it! Like he knew his screenplay was overwritten and the couldn't believe that the Hollywood Foreign Press chose it over the more nuanced works by those other writers! But to me it was a (ahem) match made in artistic heaven: Tarantino and the Golden Globe.

Hello backatcha, eh! You're wrong! He reads the scenes TO them, out loud, so that the listeners get the full benefit of his rhythm and voice.
No--it's not for the listeners--he doesn't even want their feedback; he tells them to say NOTHING! It's for him, the auteur, so he can hear himself in front of a breathing human, though that person must remain utterly silent.


You have only two connecting A words and he has five. That's why he's the awesomest alliteratingest auteur (drat; just three! Need another Molson. Eh.).
Bonus: Not the New Yorker Cartoon:
Sally Field: "You really like me."
Quentin Tarantino: "Actually, I really like me."

Brilliant post.
Yes Tarantino and the HFPA deserve each other.
Hello, lovely Belle . . . Bwahaha on the reciprocal love between Tarantino and the HFPA!
Very brilliant! If you have a few moments to spare you may find this recent interview between QT and one of Britain's finest news broadcasters amusing:
