Quentin Tarantino on Why He Isn't Making The Movie Critic & if Cliff Booth Was in the Script

is opening up about why he isn't making The Movie Critic. Tarantino was originally planning to make The Movie Critic as his tenth and final film; however, in April 2024, it was reported that Tarantino had changed his mind and abandoned the project. Details as to why he decided not to make The Movie Critic weren't revealed at the time. What did Quentin Tarantino say about The Movie Critic? Appearing on an episode of The Church of Tarantino podcast, the Pulp Fiction director said he originally wrote The Movie Critic to be an eight-episode television show. 'I think when I was done [writing the show], and I knew I had done it, and now I was faced with the hard work in front of me of setting it up and doing it, I didn't really want to do it that much,' Tarantino said. 'That's too strong a word to say. But it was more like, if I like this so much, could it be a movie? Is it really a movie? And that was just enough of a question that it made me want to investigate.' Tarantino said he then rewrote The Movie Critic to be a movie script and that he was 'happy' with it. He clarified that while The Movie Critic could have been a 'spiritual sequel' to Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, there were never any crossover characters and Brad Pitt's Cliff Booth character never showed up. 'That was never the case, ever ever ever,' he said of Cliff Booth being in the movie. 'But it is the same town except in 1977 as opposed to 1969. And, frankly, to tell you the truth, it was pre-production that made me realize that I was so excited about the writing, but I wasn't really that excited about dramatizing what I wrote.' Tarantino continued to explain that, when approaching his movies, there's typically a lot of learning involved when it comes to crafting certain sequences — be it turning Los Angeles into 1969 Hollywood without any special effects, burning down the theater in Inglorious Basterds, the Kill Bill Crazy 88 sequence, etc. 'There was nothing to figure out [with The Movie Critic] because I already kind of knew more or less how to turn LA into an older time,' he summarized. 'So it just was too much like the last one.'

Taylor Swift looking at Las Vegas venues amid 'The Life of a Showgirl' announcement

Taylor Swift looking at Las Vegas venues amid 'The Life of a Showgirl' announcement originally appeared on The Sporting News Taylor Swift is reportedly looking at Las Vegas venues to showcase her upcoming album, The Life of a Showgirl. According to The US Sun, "Taylor's team has been talking about Vegas gigs in private for a while, including at a dinner a few months back in Nashville with other music managers," an insider told the publication. "They are seeing what would work for the new album and have specifically been eyeing up concerts at Sphere," the insider added." "Nothing is confirmed yet, but they are discussing logistics and which venue could work best," the source concluded. Swift announced her 12th studio album on her boyfriend Travis Kelce's podcast New Heights, which he co-hosts with his brother Jason Kelce. Due to The Sphere's location in Vegas, which matches the album's theme and unique visual assets -- it features the largest LED screen ever constructed -- the venue would be perfect for an artist of Swift's caliber. "Given how unique Sphere is from a production perspective, fans will no doubt be foaming at the mouth to see how Taylor could potentially use the venue," the insider added. The venue is massive with 20,000 seats, but it is much smaller than the arenas Swift performed in during her Eras Tour, with stadium seating was around 70,000 to 80,000. She would, however, have no problem selling it out as the Eras Tour, which ran from March 2023 to December 2024, sold over 10 million tickets. "There's nothing like it in the world," the insider said of The Sphere. "U2 and the Backstreet Boys have already shown what's possible, but Taylor would take things to the next level." During her interview on New Heights, she told Travis and Jason that after performing in over 100 shows, she misses it but that "it feels great" that it's over. "I miss it. I do miss it, but it's like it was perfect for what it was. Do you know what I mean? And it was a lot of physical therapy, and it was a lot of being in a state of perpetual physical discomfort — kind of like when you're in season," Swift told the Kelce brothers. The insider shared that, "generally speaking, a mini Vegas run wouldn't be bad for her. Touring is exhausting, and staying in one place for a bit would be a lot easier." The Life of a Showgirl is out on Oct. 3. There is no news of a tour or residency at this time.

Luka Doncic Says He'd Choose Dirk Nowitzki's Fadeaway As His Dream Signature Move

Luka Doncic Says He'd Choose Dirk Nowitzki's Fadeaway As His Dream Signature Move originally appeared on Fadeaway World. Luka Doncic is carving out his own legacy on the Lakers, but when it comes to signature moves, he's still paying homage to the legend who came before him. During a recent appearance on Bilibili, Doncic was asked which iconic move from another NBA player he would most want in his arsenal. His answer was quick, respectful, and invoked some heavy emotions from the Mavericks fans who detest his departure. 'I would take the Dirk Nowitzki fadeaway as a signature move,' Doncic said. It's a fitting tribute to Nowitzki, whose one-legged fadeaway helped define a generation and led the Mavericks to their first NBA title in 2011. According to Dirk, the move originated out of necessity as he got older and his legs began to wear down. As he was losing strength and mobility, Dirk was determined to create a move that he could use to shoot over defenders and conserve energy as his athleticism declined. Nowitzki, being 7'0" tall, decided to use his height to his advantage, and it's how he came up with the idea to do his signature one-legged fadeaway. Besides being a beautiful shot, it was also very effective. When he pulled it off properly, nobody could get a hand on the ball, effectively ensuring that it would at least make contact with the rim. It helped Dirk build an iconic NBA career as a 14x All-Star, 12x All-NBA player, 1x champion, and former Finals MVP. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2023 with career averages of 20.7 points, 7.5 rebounds, and 2.4 assists per game over 21 years. For Luka, incorporating Dirk's go-to move into his arsenal would only enhance his game, but their connection is more than purely professional. For the first six and a half years of his career, Luka Doncic was Dirk's successor, and Dirk was his mentor. In just a few short years in Dallas, Doncic ascended to legendary status for the Mavericks with multiple All-Star appearances, frequent MVP considerations, and averages of 28.6 points, 8.7 rebounds, and 8.3 assists per game on 47.0% shooting. He developed a personal connection with not only the city of Dallas but also Dirk Nowitzki himself. Dirk passed Luka the torch, hoping he'd lead them back to glory. Sadly, the Slovenian superstar never got the chance to see it through. Without warning, the Mavericks traded him in a blockbuster deal to Los Angeles, and everything changed in one fell swoop. While separated, Dirk continued to support Luka and was even in attendance during his Lakers debut. Now with the Lakers, Luka is on a revenge tour, out to prove Dallas made a mistake letting him go. Whatever happens, Dirk will be watching and cheering him on as if he never left Dallas in the first place. Whether he's wearing a Mavericks jersey or a Lakers uniform, Luka Doncic's story is forever linked to Dirk Nowitzki. From signature moves to shared history, their bond represents the passing of the torch between generations of European greatness. Now, as Luka writes the next chapter of his career in Los Angeles, he'll carry a piece of Dirk with him in the way he approaches the moment. Even from afar, Dirk will still be there, watching as the player he once mentored tries to build his own legend, one step at a story was originally reported by Fadeaway World on Aug 15, 2025, where it first appeared.
