The Hateful Eight

MICHAEL MADSEN JUST CAN’T SAY NO

Michael Madsen’s appearance in Thelma & Louise screamed THIS IS A BIG STAR IN THE MAKING. His appearance in Reservoir Dogs validated his tough guy appeal and potential. He always shines in Tarantino films, but he never got that SPECIAL role that would put him over the top. However, he IS an excellent example of a steadily “working actor” – he films from 12 to 15 movies a YEAR! Apparently he says YES to every offer! He does mostly straight to video cheezy horror and biker movies, but he’s one of the busiest actors around.

QUENTIN TARANTINO’S LOVE AFFAIR WITH MAYHEM PAID OFF

AG_095348_019quent

Quentin Tarantino, 52, got his star on The Walk of Fame just in time to promote The Hateful Eight. (He didn’t dress for the event, did he!) In spite of the fact that Quentin thinks that “Violence is one of the most fun things to watch,” his movies always have some clever dialog and humorous moments. Spike Lee complains that Quentin is “infatuated with the n-word.” Indeed, his latest movie features the forbidden word around 65 times. In spite of his ego and penchant for violence, Quentin’s movies are often highly entertaining. Above, Jackie Brown star Pam Grier came to the Star ceremony to congratulate Quentin.
