...other interesting encounters? I was at a screening - I think it was an Alan Rudolph movie - and the director had come out afterwards. This guy in the audience kept asking questions and at one point the director asked, "and what did you do in your film?" It was Quentin Tarantino - he had just done Reservoir Dogs...
...last old fashioned film moguls, having built indie studio Miramax from the ground up, Weinstein and his quieter brother Bob are known in the biz for their flash and their foresight. They make bold choices - such as producing Quentin Tarantino's edgy Pulp Fiction in 1994 and bringing Hong Kong visionary Wong Kar-Wai to American screens in 1996 - that are considered brilliant and inspire packs of copycats...

Gray's cop drama rarely reached the emotional boiling point, but the Tarantino and Fincher films, if not nearly the best of the directors' work, paraded the filmmaking brio, the narrative twists and drive, that mark solid updates of the classic Hollywood style. That the jurors ignored every member of this quartet, while laying hands on Van Sant's very minor indie effort, could possibly suggest an anti-Hollywood agenda. Major U.S. studios may take the hint, and be more reluctant...
