Quentin Tarantino on Great Stupid Movies 

Smoking with this guy is a waste of weed

No more indica, sativa only

It’s actually incredible Bill can have such a relatively lucid interview while clearly very fucking high.

LOL...Maher is such a rambling, unfocused meat head when he has THC bouncing around in his head! 🤪

exactly

This is not the important point. The important point is that Nazis WERE extreme sticklers for paperwork, and did not violate any direct orders in written form at any time. This is one of the defining features of German fascism, the extreme rigidity, and it is a trait that famously saved many lives, as one man was able to forge (lousy) documents and save thousands of victims single-handedly. His commentary just shows that Maher is mentally unfit, and always has been.

BS. They could simply ignore them and kidnap the person. Brute force. Occupied France was a puppet state. PS. But f*** it, I LOVE Casablanca anyway and can watch it again anytime and still have fun

@@michaela7759 Nazis would never ignore anything written, they were the most rules-bound rigid society to ever exist.

@@annaclarafenyo8185 Formally, officially, of course not. But would be very easy to use someone in plain clothes, maybe even a local thug to do the dirty work.

@@michaela7759 You have the same misunderstanding of Naziism that Maher does. IT OPERATED WITHIN THE LETTER OF LAW. They never disobeyed a legal order, they never did anything that wasn't approved. There was no individual initiative, it wasn't like a gang of criminals, it was a bureaucracy doing crime by issuing official orders. They never deviated a jot or tittle from their orders.

dude's so smashed :D

If you are a lightweight with booze, these high THC strains will put you under the table

@@devinreese7704 Oh? Is THAT how it works? Damn. I never knew.

Bill cannot handle weed or alcohol at all. The guy's only five feet tall and 80lbs...

hilarious to watch rich people think it's crazy that someone wants medical benefit and to make more than five bucks an hour.

I've never seen anyone do and say as many things they're "not allowed" to do and say as Bill Maher. How often do you need to do something unopposed before you stop pretending you're not allowed to do it?

@@aphotosyntheticworld The man is obsessed with the "wokeness is banning everything" narrative. In another clip with Tarantino he said that 1917 wouldn't be nominated for Best Picture today because of some representation rules. I mean... what? The movie was nominated 3 years prior, when the rules (which absolutely don't work that way) he presumably means already existed. Also, Best Picture still has lots of movies with predominantly white casts nominated. They aren't going anywhere. Bill Maher just needs to feel persecuted because that way he doesn't need to search the cause of his declining relevance in himself.

I suspect that Quentin wondered why he was there as Bill did his one-man show.

Very much. ..

I think it's the booze, not the herb.

@@diannecarroll4087 Some of it comes from the booze, some from the bud.

Whatcha talking about Willis

I thought it was great, pull the panties outta your ass and laugh once in awhile.

Because he’s higher than Voyager 7

He's high af lmao. This isn't an interview this is two famous people talking whilst inebriated

If one of the greatest directors of all time were on set with him, instead of one of the world's greatest plagiarists, I might agree with you.

It’s not an interview show. It’s a conversation show. He’s not “interviewing him”, he’s having a normal conversation as anyone would when there aren’t cameras and audio going.

@@kylecherry920 you are correct. Thank you for correcting me two years late 😂 my point was, it’s not even a conversation if bill talks the whole fucking time lol.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. F’ the gotcha nonsense, you’re interviewing the worlds greatest movie geek.

I think about 95% of the Quentin interviews on YT are him not being attacked by journalists

Are there any more then that one interview where the lady attacks him?

He is not your kind of victim.Stop looking.

Being asked a question = ‘attacked’

Same when sober, 'cause dude is a constant egoholic drunk on his endless ego.

Don't expect Bill Maher to know what the fuck he's talking about. You'll be sorrily disappointed.

"The writ of the Nazis really did only run so far"...yeah ok lol. He is coming from the stand point of what we know about the Nazi's and how they acted in almost every situation they had any kind of control in. To think that if they didn't want you to leave, but you showed them a piece of paper, in an area that they controlled the controllers, that you could just leave. That was his point, that part of the story doesn't make sense to us NOW. In 1942 you could make that argument, in 2022 it is absurd. Tarantino makes the SAME fucking point with his movie reference.

Tarantino and Mahr are historically and *politically* retarded. They made a great point about Norma Rae, however. That was too common sensical to not get.

@@texcc789us nazis literally had zero control over Morrocco. It was not even in the occupied zone. This is basic historical fact.

@@landofthesilverpath5823 you want to talk historic fact? 1) There was no such thing as letters of transit. If there were, few if any Nazis would have honored these especially had they been signed by Charles de Gaulle. 2) The US invaded Casablanca as a part of Operation Torch in November of 1942.

I'd buy that for a dollar...

Masterpiece

I feel like robocop doesn’t quite count as a stupid movie. Like a little corny concept as it’s supposed to be. but A pretty great satire and display of corruption. I think a better example of a great movie that’s truly stupid would be like “wrong turn 2” or idk “killer clowns from outer space” but even those are probably supposed to be stupid so idk how valid my argument is.

@@scammin4pigham150 kkfos is a perfect stupid movie. And it will surprisingly get laid if you watch it with a girl.

The music is good too.

And the French girl, Yvonne (a woman of loose morals), who was partying up with some Nazis, sees the error of her ways regarding her new suiters, and proudly stands to tearfully join in the song, yelling "Viva le France" and saving her soul. While the song was the French national anthem, in this case, it was the anthem for freedom against evil. It brings tears to my eyes every time I see it, as does the "I am Sparticus" scene from that movie.

Yeah the bureaucracy was French. The Germans couldn’t afford to piss of their allies willy-nilly, and they were confident they could keep Laszlo in Casablanca.

Yup. Same reason that most Danish Jews were able to escape to Sweden before the Germans decided they had enough of Danish pseudo-autonomy.

Please do. It will prevent people from taking marijuana.

I thought the same thing! I listened to Bill Maher on Joe Rogan’s podcast and they both got high and a little tipsy. It made them both so unbearable.

As others have said, don’t perform high. Maher sounds like a pretentious fool.

@@nicholasbarrese6745 ehh yeah Maher needs to tone down the chemicals if he wants this show to work. I’m all for getting high but it needs to be more ‘controlled’ lol

Chemicals like Meth? Not sure what weed you be smoking with chemicals @nicholasbarrese

I feel the same about Rogan... his worst podcasts are the one's where he's hammered

I agree. Love Bill's show, but the podcast is hard to watch. Stop laughing at your tired, dumb jokes and let the other person talk--particularly when they're as interesting as Tarantino. I can't even finish some of these interviews...

@@swmgec exactly. you can not hear what the host says from his exaggerated laughter.

Maher has always been unbearable

Agreed! Leave it to a millionaire to be anti-union.

It’s more ignorance than anything, these are not super bright people just because they’re famous

The factory itself was the basis of middle class life, not a union.

Peeler, the “factory itself” didn’t just cause middle class wealth by itself. Workers got a good wage because with unions the workers could bargain collectively for good wages and working conditions. There are many factories all around the world where this doesn’t happen because unions are illegal…

My stepfather was a boilermaker. He joined the union when he was 15 back in the early 40s. He worked for the same company his entire career. When he retired it was through the union that he had a pension. Retirement gifts? Union. Healthcare? Union subsidized. When he passed away the Union still provided a pension to my Mom up until her death. The corporation he worked for? No retirement benefits, they did not offer 401k plans, profit sharing nor stock options. Healthcare was gone as soon as you stopped working. He was a union man through and through and yet he voted Republican. So there is no accounting for logic.

Seven minute abs

It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby.

@@JJMcgechan Six minute abs.

Which is also funny to think since QT is in a union and hires only union people.

@@ElDanteGraves If Tarantino could make his crew work more than union hours, he would.

@@cqtaylor He has

I hear ya. I’m a Union man but I get the argument he’s making. Two factories is another matter? That’s why unionizing is more important than ever, we have the bargaining power sometimes. Starbucks employees can take their skills to smaller coffee shops willing to pay a fair wage.

So by his thinking it is actually better for them to take less money and work more hours.

And where would Norma work now, I wonder?

@@jonathanaliff6121where does anyone work now, you wonder…

@@dabearcub In a non-union shop that is still profitable because of it.

@@amdtexas9383 non union shop overseas

Excellent points.

Realism is useful, and you don't want your plot holes to fuck with suspension of disbelief, but you definitely don't need to address them all

David Lynch quote "why do people expect movies to make sense, life doesnt make sense" or something like that

MCguffin

They moved overseas because it is cheaper to do business there. A big part of that is the cost of labor. I’m not against labor unions, but the cost of labor has to be passed on to the consumer. There is a price point where the consumer will reject the product or get it cheaper from a competitor. With companies like Nike using slave labor, it’s reprehensible. But giving an opportunity to someone who’s WILLING to do the job for less compensation is just good business.

@@christophercox8966 Yes, helps the bottom line but at what cost? Those workers lose their highly paid jobs and have to struggle. Other jobs in and around the factory also go under. If every business follows suit, there's no working class to be consumers. What happened to loyalty to American workers? Why do you think so many community are falling apart? The good jobs are gone and they have nothing. Crap paying jobs, crime, drug epidemics. These businesses can afford to pay good wages and still make a profit. Why have wages stayed low while the cost of living rises? We take it cause we're told it will ruin the economy. No, the top gets richer while we go broke paying more and more for regular expenses. It's BS. And with some much of the US dependent on foreign countries for labor or imports, we have to be wary of unfiriendly governments or a cut off of resources so more military intervention. In this way, the 50s was better.

@@taker68 Say you have a business. If the price of labor increases without a corresponding increase in productivity, you’re going to find that situation to be unsustainable. There’s also the factor of burdensome government regulations. I’m all for the workforce increasing value and negotiating for better compensation based upon that value. But the labor market is competitive. A workforce needs to bring more to the table than entitlement to compete.

I saw him in a Q&A session at Oxford & they asked about his interest in the occult. Yes he said he had some books but not a library full & it’s nothing to play with. You can loose your soul. Chilling

I agree about Good Fellas, I also agree with Casablanca. I've seen that from beginning to end at least 50 times. In fact, both movies are like old friends that you can over on a Friday or Saturday night when you have nothing to do. You don't even have to watch them intently either, just having them on for background noise so you can tune in and out while drinking cold beer, pacing and pondering the future. It's Friday afternoon here in South Korea and I'll be off work at 5:25. Yep, I know what I'm putting on tonight.

Tombstone is another I could watch monthly

@@joshhorn5131 TOMBSTONE!! I gotta watch that one again!

Midnight Run for me

Big short. Major League.

Don't hate on people who become successful in life. Do you know how hard it is to achieve that?

I agree with some of your points....but unions been some headeches for factories and corporations, and in short, some of them could say "fuck it" and move their production work to Mexico or China (whiche they did, in the 80s and 90s) and basically killing the factory and screwing a lot of workers in the long term.

Its not elitism it's just an opinion. Plenty of working class people aren't on board with unionizing.

I'm sure not on bored with unions! Been there, done that man. Too many politics in my opinion. Work is hard enough.

Reading a guy who has never met a payroll in his life talk about the benevolence of unions.

Exactly my reaction. It’s the clothesline in which to hang a plot. Although considering the story is set in a territory administered by the Vichy French Government, exit Visas to Portugal were not unheard of. Especially considering America wasn’t in the war at the time Casablanca takes place. French colonial leadership was very corrupt and if the price was right these things could be arranged. But as you said, it’s the device that pushes the story. Casablanca is a primarily character driven film. In fact I’d go as far as to say Claude Raines owns the movie just as much as Bogart. “I’m shocked, SHOCKED.” Lol

Still don't get the line, "here's looking at you kid"... Heard it was adlibbed, is the most quoted of all Time, and is lame as f.

@@_taxman_ Take I got was…Life is like crazy and I don’t know anything…but lookin at you…and I don’t know what is but to give life a chance I’ll say…Here’s looking at you…Meaning where there may or may not be any…Why it rings not necessarily true over generations but essential…Like in the song…As Time Goes By…Every word rings true…Even in just another day when nothing seems to change…Than…it does.☘️

A garbage thought, he completely misses the point as to why people would unionize a factory after being mistreated for a number of years. Really shows his age, plus his lack of critical thinking (has he never heard of a fed jobs program?)

@@thejquinn Dude's been rich for a long time.

@@thejquinn See "Full Tilt Boogie." It is the making of for "From Dusk to Dawn" and it does a good job of illuminating his disdain for unionized labor. Also: he only joined the union to be eligible for Academy Awards.

@@samfilmkid He has been anti union since the beginning of his career.

@@satsubatsu347 If you're talking about "The Assistants," that's a fake documentary

Zardoz.

No, what he's saying is that a pro-union movie didn't make sense because there's at times a fragile ecosystem between capital and labor and in Norma Rae a union would probably cause a factory that generates the economy of an entire town to close and go elsewhere. Sometimes labor is being misused and needs greater protection through collective bargaining. Sometimes the demands of labor are excessive and cause profit margins to shrink to the point that labor ceases to have jobs at all. I grew up in around towns where the industry shut down and moved to China for cheaper labor. It's not pretty.

@@kspringerrw Make laws to prevent American companies from sending jobs to China.

@@kspringerrw The reason companies moved was because Reagan Thatcherite policies that decided not to bother with workers and their pesky needs and instead go straight to globalism and financial industries. These days everthing is based on house prices and stock numbers with no thought to quality of actual working peoples lives. Job numbers don't tell you anything if the available jobs can't earn you enough to support a family. Maybe if you had unions to lobby for your interests instead of ripping them apart your town would not be so empty now. The time he talked about was when politicians, Reagan and Thatchet chief amongst them, opened the door so that manufacturing could go and chase the cheapest wages abroad, unions fought it only for the great brainwashed to call them commies etc. If you don't have somebody lobbying on your behalf you don't matter, your vote goes to who's bullshit scares you least, hence why both parties try to freak you out with fake bogeyman. Meanwhile everthing turns to dust around your feet. Tarantino works in an industry full of unions, so I think his remarks a bit rich.

Yes. Because he watched a movie 40 yrs ago and saw her as a hero. He sees it now, and remembers that America used to have factories and jobs, and everything was waaaay better than it is now. So yeah, he bashed the unions because it's the fault of the unions that we don't make anything here anymore.

@@jonathanaliff6121 Reagan and Thatcher decided the future you fool, they sold it to you like it was a treat with all the leisure time you coukd want. Well you got it.

A little later than the 80's but Terminator 2 does more than hold up, it's still incredible.

I'm guessing that those don't include Commando, Cobra, and Tango & Cash.

Quentin ain't no, no God of cinema. He's just an interesting putz who fills his narrative of how great the '70s were. But the 80s do hold up as classics. And obviously, made more money at the box office. Anti-heroes in the 70s got nothing on Scarface

Everyone who is successful is a conservative. Liberalism is what they make for the corporate workforce masses

I don't know about QT; but, BM refuses to be "Woke."

Conservatism is a bad thing?

Hiding in plain sight .

Ain't that the truth.

Everyone is like that when they're high. Which is why I hate gatherings when people are have roach in their hand.

@@DaPoopIsInDaPudding Oh yeah, life ain't never been better. Enjoying the good life while it lasts!

@@DerekMoore82 It is to get people to watch the full episode.

The ark did automatically kill the Nazis once they opened it. But would they have found it eventually if Indiana Jones had not found it?

Worse than inconsequential - imagine (instead of him hindering the Nazis from seizing the Ark) that he had actively made sure the The Ark would end up in their possession and would be opened in Berlin during a Nazi rally. Not really sure how the Nazis thought that using an artifact of THE JEWISH GOD would work out splendidly for them.

Not really, as Indy lead the Nazis to Marion Ravenwood, and they would have never found the Well of Souls without the headpiece to the Staff of Ra. Not to mention that Indy scuppered their plan to fly the Ark to Berlin (doubt they would open it in front of Hitler, they would be testing it in a lab), and also Indy captured the Ark for the US government. So that theory is nonsense.

"It belongs in a Museum"

I hate how frequently this argument is brought up. Without Indiana, the Nazis would never find the medallion from Marion that leads to the location. Also by the end of the movie, if Indy wasn’t there all the nazis are killed when opening it and the ark is lost once again, until maybe the submarine tracks it down and therefore the Nazis win WW2. Instead of Indy being inconsequential, he is technically the reason that the allies won WW2.

Yes! Why does it go unnoticed that there are unionised workforces all over the World , that seem to operate quite well, WITHOUT sending said company broke! In fact, most disastrous co. Fails happen because of stupid management. See also Musk etc.

Preach! Proud union member.
