After a few hotly-contested polls these past weeks, I decided to go for a change of pace last week by posting a poll with a fairly obvious winner. In the race for which 18 July release would be pulling in the hard-earned dollars of the Screengrab readership, the clear winner was The Dark Knight, which took 53% of the vote compared to Mamma Mia’s 5%, tying it with “both of them” and Space Chimps for last place. As for me, my vote went to second-place finisher “Neither of Them”, but only because my schedule wouldn’t permit me to watch it with my girlfriend until Tuesday. I supposed I was a little behind the curve, but I won’t complain too much. After all, my girlfriend had no desire to see Mamma Mia!, or Sex and the City for that matter. Yeah, she’s pretty awesome.
Moving on to this week’s poll… ever since Quentin Tarantino actually set down the bong and wrote the screenplay to his long “in development” war movie Inglorious Bastards, the blogosphere has been abuzz about the possibility of an honest-to-goodness new QT movie. So this week, we’re looking back on his relatively short but nonetheless illustrious career. Which of his feature film projects is your favorite?
Due to space limitations (our polling software only allows us five choices), I’ve combined Kill Bill into one project, since QT was working on them simultaneously, and didn’t bother with Quentin’s supposedly lost “first film” My Best Friend’s Birthday altogether. Also, I didn’t include a “None of the Above” choice because if you don’t like any Tarantino movies, then you’re most likely at the wrong blog. Sorry, haters.
As always, the comments section is open. See you next week!
