“Zombeer” is a dark and shocking horror short film by the Dutch director Rob van der Velden, whose previous short horror film won a Dutch Quentin Tarantino Competition. A drunken brew master has embarrassed the town brewery for the last time and has been exiled to the lonely late-night shift. But he hasn’t let this setback interrupt his drinking, and he ends up falling head-first into a boiling vat of churning hops. Now we all know that this would turn any drunk into a raging zombie, right? And that the now-tainted beer will turn everyone else who drinks this hops-with-a-bite into bloodthirsty zombies also, right? So now we have an entire town of drunken, bloody-minded zombies. That’s the plot. Done.
This piece includes a number of appalling, ghastly color photographs, as well as the dreadfully savage short film, “Zombeer.”
Please visit my website to view these gruesome photographs, and to watch this terrifying short film:

Are you ready for some football this weekend? Who are you rooting for at the Superbowl: the Saints or the Colts? Well, if you're favorite team didn't make it to the Superbowl or you just don't care about football, we've still got a fun football-and-movie mash-up video to share with you today (via Hollywood Elsewhere). The geniuses at Slate made a video called: What Would it Look Like If Famous Filmmakers Directed the Superbowl? I wasn't expecting this to be as funny as it is, but they nailed it with all of their directors. They mock: Quentin Tarantino, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Jean-Luc Godard, & Werner Herzog. Enjoy!

5. Quentin Tarentino and Robert Rodriquez
The bromance between QT and RR is well documented. The cumulative of the two director’s bromance came in the supposedly ‘bad on purpose’ Grindhouse (2007) . This may be the most one sided bromance on this list for in terms of actual talent and industry currency in the shared field. What that means is that QT has tons, RR… eh, not so much. Rodriquez is well known for shooting messy along a pressure intense schedule while chopping movies together from rag-tag efforts of cliche that he then attempts to pass on as iconic. Sin City (2005) may be the one exception, however the movie was more pulled out due to Mickey Rourke’s performance, Tarantino’s directorial contributions, and the influence of co-director and creator Frank Miller.
None-the-less, Rodriquez is one of the busiest “in development” directors in Hollywood. His borrowed Tarantino reputation has netted him deals to reboot (probably badly) Predator, as well as hash out another paid-to-make-bad-movie in yet another faux grindhouse snooze-fest Machete. While RR unapologetically rips off Hollywood and fanboys alike with the great ‘bad on purpose’ con, his bro Tarantino continues to fortify their shared reputation with movies like Kill Bill and Inglorious Basterds.

With Bill undeniably killed, what dramatic possibilities remain for Quentin Tarantino if he comes good on a third instalment of his kung fu franchise?
Now that he's finally got Inglourious Basterds out of his system, Quentin Tarantino can set his sights on something new and exciting. Except not really very new. Or exciting. Tarantino, you see, wants to make Kill Bill 3.
According to an interview on Italian television, Tarantino is keen to have the next Kill Bill instalment in cinemas by 2014. That's worrying not only as a possible indication of creative bankrupcy, but also because such a project does seem remarkably pointless. Bill is dead. Bill is unquestionably dead. In the movies Bill died because of the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart technique. And in real life Bill (David Carradine) died, too, in slightly different circumstances. Bill is dead, which does seem to make any more Kill Bill films a touch redundant.
So, with the titular character long gone, how could Tarantino possibly go about making a Kill Bill 3? Here – out of a sense of nothing but pure philanthropy – are a few possible scenarios to help him along.
Option #1 - Bride on the Run. Remember in the first Kill Bill, where Uma Thurman murdered Vivica A Fox's character in front of her four-year-old daughter? The most obvious plotline for Kill Bill 3 would centre on the daughter's efforts to track down and kill Thurman in retaliation. She'd be 15 by 2014, so that would really tap into the key Hannah Montana demographic. In fact, why not go even further and make it a musical? Everyone could learn valuable life lessons about the importance of friendship and the littlest Jonas brother could play the love interest. Perfect.
Option #3 - Baby Bride. Kill Bill 3 centres around Thurman's training of her own daughter to become an assassin. It'd be just like Leon, only without the unsettling sexual undertones or the horrible Sting song at the end. Plus, because it's a Kill Bill movie, the story would be told in an impressive array of styles. Some of it would be in colour, some in black-and-white, some turned into an anime sequence, some recited by the cast of Button Moon, some from the viewpoint of a tap-dancing one-eyed mouse, that sort of thing.
Option #3 - Kill other Bills. Having dealt with Bill, Thurman becomes obsessed with killing other people who share his name. First on the list is lovely BBC Breakfast host Bill Turnbull, who is finished off after a highly stylised swordfight near Bill's beehive. Then she moves onto Bill Gates (suffocated with his own money), Bill O'Reilly (hacked to death in a needlessly gory threshing machine sequence), and will.i.am from the Black Eyed Peas, whose last album she hated enough to overcome slight worries about whether he's a proper Bill. The climax comes with Thurman repeatedly headbutting the bronze statue of long-deceased Liverpool manager Bill Shankly outside Anfield's visitor centre.
Option #4 - The Death Proof Option. Kill Bill 3 opens with Thurman setting out to kill Bill, before realising that she's already killed Bill. So instead, she spends two and a half hours waffling aimlessly about nothing in an indulgent faux-hip way to the sound of the same tired old surf guitar records that everyone started getting sick of a decade ago. Something marginally exciting might happen at the end, but nobody notices because they've fallen asleep or left the cinema. This is the option most likely to reach fruition.With Bill undeniably killed, what dramatic possibilities remain for Quentin Tarantino... more

Now that Inglourious Basterds is out of the way and headed for almost inevitable Oscar nominations, Quentin Tarantino is planning his next move. What is it? Kill Bill Vol. 3.
Bad Taste caught Tarantino on Italian television where he went out of his way to lure the interviewer into asking him about the possibility of a third Kill Bill and then announced that yes, it’s happening and “The Bride will fight again.”
Of course Tarantino projects never happen quickly and sometimes the stuff he talks about never happens at all. But he seems fairly adamant about getting Kill Bill Vol. 3 done, even if it takes time. He says, “Kill Bill 3 will probably come out, I gotta wait a couple of years, but I want ten years to pass from the second one to the third one.”
So why ten years? Tarantino explains, “Two reasons. One, I think me and Uma needed a ten year break…. And the second one, I loved the character a lot. I think she deserved ten years to relax. She deserved ten years of no fighting, she deserved ten years with her child Bebe, just of peace. I put her through a lot those first two movies, I want her to have a nice, peaceful life for ten years. I want her to set up her store, and have some peace. But after ten years we’ll make her fight again.”
The original Kill Bill Vol. 1 was released in 2003. That could mean Kill Bill Vol. 3 in 2013 except, even though he mentions needing a break from Uma, QT says he only has to wait a couple of years and the ten years he discussed seemed to be related more to the timeline taking place inside the film than the one taking place out here. Kill Bill Vol. 3 could show up at any time.
Watch the full interview on Italian television via the embed below. It’s long, in Italian, and for most of the interview Tarantino seems utterly confused by what’s going around him until, that is, he starts pimping the Bride’s next film.Now that Inglourious Basterds is out of the way and headed for almost inevitable Oscar... more

Apparently I was amazingly naive when I wrote the first draft of this. Mr. Bernstein in the NYT “Letters From America” section is apparently one of the many idiots in this great and free country who feels the need to suck enjoyment out of every corner of life in hopes of furthering some esoteric political agenda which is fueling an unprecedented scourge of hate divided down party lines. Bravo, good people, bravo. While these politico firebrands die an early death due to stress and hate induced heart failure, I’m going watch some movies and have a little fun.
In my piece below I single out the letter writer, Mr. Bernstein, exclusively. While reading, please understand that I wish to include Mr. Bernstein as well as the rest of the self satisfied malcontents who work diligently to manufacture an issue out of thin air. Carry on.
..snip..
By matching the hyper sensitive martyrism of the current event climate in the country, this ax grinding ragamuffin hops aboard the hyper-reactive train usually reserved for the vapid fencing of television political pundits and chugs gloriously with the furnaces rocking into Zeus-FUCK are you kidding me? land. Ah, yes, that special idiot wind mostly attributed to the hated bloggers and party-whore tv talking heads
..snip..
Why does Bernstein and the fun hating political extremist whack jobs vocally raping this country feel the need to vacate their hate and fear filled bowels all over any item that is itself newsworthy? Talk about exploitation!

NEW YORK — Am I being overly fastidious, or does Quentin Tarantino’s new movie, “Inglourious Basterds,” which earned $38 million in its first weekend in the United States — more than double the nearest competitor — provide a more unapologetic justification for torture than Dick Cheney has been articulating lately?
...
Sure, let’s make the Holocaust fun.
That is what Mr. Tarantino has done, and he has been rewarded for it at the box office. The night I saw it at a theater on eastern Long Island among vacationing New Yorkers, the audience applauded enthusiastically at the end, apparently satisfied over the spectacle of Jews killing Nazis, even if the other way around is how things actually happened in history.
But even if nobody would take Mr. Tarantino’s movie very seriously as a political or moral comment, it seems worthwhile to examine why his concept — American commandos torturing and murdering Nazis in occupied France — couldn’t have happened, not least that they would have been tracked down and killed pretty quickly.
The historical fact is...
