Sorry but he is a dick!
Seriously, I can understand for actors/actresses and singers…but seriously movie directors are not bombarded with paparazzi. You have ONE cameraman following you and you flip out like that. And the fact that he thought it was a local makes it worse, he probably has no respect for his fans.

If I was QT I would have poured my coffee on the camera then kicked his ass like he said he would of if the camera wasnt on.

Clearly QT was in the right. He made it very clear that he didn’t wanna be filmed. The camera guy should have turned the camera away immediately but he kept pointing it like a retard. These people need to take a hint. QT and other celebrities are human beings, not fucking animals in a zoo to which you can shove a video camera in their face and expect them not to react, as if they had no concept of personal space, or technology, rights, etc. because they’re merely creatures. Treat people the way you wanna be treated. If some creepy faggot stranger started pointing a video camera directly at me and didn’t stop when I asked them, I’d bash their nose in.

I agree with Cinemaniac1979 100% on the flip side It would be sad if one of your family members was pushed off the road with a child in the car, hounded as soon as you walk out the door YOU have no idea what QT or any other famous person goes through … jealousy maybe? I don’t know when was the last time you looked in the mirror?!

To Bill Gibron- Shame on you for making such a tasteless remark!
“Paparzazi is part and parcel of movie celebrity-dom even though they are low lifes, yes,â€¦they are there because their is demand in the public for videos/pictures etc. Tarantino is just a millionaire spoiled brat filmmaker and this violent assault and battery sum up his pathetic little character. What a loser!!” I sense a little bit of jealousy here as well. Sad but when was the last time you looked in the mirror.

Tarantino is in the wrong here.

It’s totally un-cool to react like that, he should of just gone about his own business and ignored him like a true porfessional. But no, it’s as if Tarantino WANTED a confrontation, what’s with him these days?

Shame on Tarantino. Only Scumbags react like this.

Those camera guys were total dicks. Those of you who think otherwise need to get your heads examined. How would you feel if you had a group of assholes watching your every QT expressed his anger, and went to move the camera out of the way. He didn’t attack the dude, and didn’t even verbally cross the line. Don’t pass judgement or pass out some hokey half assed moralistic crap about two wrongs not making a right. Give us all a break, sometimes you got a be a man and stand up for yourself. Way to go QT, don’t listen to a word from these film making wannabe puff’s!

Quentin Tarantino did not slap the cameraman. He reached to pull the camera down, and the paparazzo pulled the camera away. The funny thing is what happened after that: Quentin makes like he is going to do something, the guy jumps back, and gets hit by a car driving in the parking lot. Priceless.

You lilly livered chickenshit camera wielding faggots are geting to be too much with your sensitivity. If you want to stalk and bother people be ready to stand accountable for your actions.
Stupid Fucks.

We have to remember that this happens to him everyday… at some point, he’s going to get tired of it and take out his anger on the nearest paparazzi.

There’s no such thing as inexcusable behaviour towards paparazzi.
People you call celebrities aren’t only that! They’re regular people doing jobs that are required so you can go about your ordinarily entertained everyday lives. Show them some respect! Especially the writers and directors… The sluts that expose themselves for publicity alone can have it, I guess, but being a public figure does NOT justify paparazzi behaviour.

Hey Peter, I think you’re a bit overly sensitive to this one because you’re a member of the media. I hardly think it’s fair that the law sides the the paparazzi– why should it be legal to film someone just because they’re famous? What about people who enter the public eye unwillingly and then get hounded by these shameless bottom feeders?

Personally, I think QT is a saint for not beating the guy down. Were I in his shoes in this particular situation I would’ve give the guy 2 options: Give me the tape or I smash your camera into thousands of little pieces. You can piss and moan at me as much as you want, but let me ask you one question: Where are QT’s rights here? Why can’t they guy get a cup of coffee in peace? How does the law protect him from being dogged constantly by these guys? Bear in mind, I see no problem with hounding celebrities at press functions/premieres/festivals, but when they’re just out in public living their lives, they deserve the same respect and privacy that all of us enjoy (even nutjobs like Britney Spears– let that poor thing have a psychotic breakdown in peace). They’ve got a similar system set up in Europe and it seems to work much better than what we’ve got here (minus, of course, the tragedy of Princess Di).

I’d also like to point out that this video doesn’t represent enough to accurately judge QTs reaction. Has this been going on all day? Has this guy pulled this stunt before? For all we know, QT could’ve gotten some bad news inside and be in a pissy mood. But nobody cares about that. They just want to throw judgement on him based on a few minutes of tape.

Papparazzi need to be stopped. If some idiot outside my apartment waiting for me to come out to film me, I can call the cops and have him removed. I can even get a restraining order if it comes to that. But what about guys like QT? I don’t like to condone violence, but if the government is not going to step up and grant the same privacy rights to celebrities as they do everyone else, I don’t really see any other options. Bash me all you want, but one day the paparazzi are going to be responsible for the death of one of “America’s Sweethearts” and then I’ll have the sad duty of telling you I told you so.

‘Thanks for making IT easy, you putz”.

Sorry what does this have to do with filmmaking, art, cinema, QT’s films, etc.?

Posting this is really pathetic and thinking that your ‘opinion’ on who acted ‘properly’ matters AT ALL is even more pathetic. Are you really that bored??

QT as a person doesn’t interest me as much as his films do.

If I was George W. Bush I’d personally track each one of you down, pat you on the head and say ‘Thanks for making easy you putz”.

I don’t understand how this is legal. The more and more I think about it; the more and more I think it’s totally fucked. Don’t these people have a right to privacy? Part of acting is creating an illusion. That illusion is deemed quantifiable in an economic sense. Meaning, these people make a living based on the illusions they create. Yet the world must, must tear down the illusion, find the “real” person underneath. What right do we have to fuck with others livelihoods?
