Tarantino being a creep wouldn't have surprised me even back when I did like his movies.

Why is this getting passed around now? Tarantino made those comments on a radio show in 2003. He apologized to Geimer for making them nearly a decade ago and she accepted his apology.
“I want to publicly apologize to Samantha Geimer for my cavalier remarks on the Howard Stern Show speculating about her and the crime that was committed against her,” he wrote. “Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was. Ms Geimer WAS raped by Roman Polanski. When Howard brought up Polanski, I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative. I didn’t take Ms Geimer’s feelings into consideration and for that I am truly sorry. So, Ms Geimer, I was ignorant, and insensitive, and above all, incorrect.”

hack director
I'm not a huge fan of his, but he's certainly no "hack director." Huge on style and violence, sure, but movies like Django Unchained for example were riveting and even educational IMO.
And you get to watch Tarantino blow himself up!

Sounds pretty redeeming to me. He didn't commit the crime himself, and he owned up to his mistake and tried to make amends, and it doesn't even seem like he was compelled - he did it on his own.

Mainly because nobody heard of it until now Im guessing?
But also his comment, "Not for these 13 yo party girls" hits a lot different these days. Like we knew people like Drew Barrymore were children when they first began partying.
But now we're all looking in hindsight and seeing how ubiquitous such horrible childhoods were in Hollywood.

Good thing you’re not on social media, you’re on a forum, so you’re required to think about things.

People ask me if it’s hard to be in the minority that never liked this dude’s movies, Madonna, SUVs, Kanye, twitter, or facebook.
No.

Everyone had heard about it. He said it on Howard Stern in 2003. Stern was king of the radio world and his show was being filmed at the time too. He reached millions of people. Tarantino has been a huge star since 1992 with everyone reporting his every word. Multiple major newspapers reported on his apology (including the one I linked to).
This is just some shitheel "news" organization repackaging this out of context into propaganda.

Unity News Network (UNN) is a conspiracy theory website headed by David Clews, a former Conservative and Labour councillor in Renfrewshire, Scotland.
Founded in 2018 by Clews and Carl Pearson, who was then UKIP’s Scottish youth leader, UNN built an audience by supporting the protest movement to free the anti-Muslim extremist Stephen Lennon (AKA Tommy Robinson) during his spell behind bars that year. The outlet’s following grew significantly after it began spreading conspiratorial content relating to the COVID-19 pandemic. At the time of writing, it has over 104,000 followers on Facebook, 90,000 on Twitter and 21,000 on Telegram.
While Pearson is no longer involved in the project, under Clews UNN has adopted an increasingly extreme outlook. For example, the outlet has promoted the White Genocide conspiracy theory and described the West as being in the grip of “cultural Marxist degeneracy”.

Clews has also established increasingly tight links to the UK’s extreme right, most notably speaking at the conferences of the neo-Nazi group Patriotic Alternative (PA) in 2022 and 2023. Regular UNN writer Niall McCrae also addressed the PA conference in 2024.

Sir, this is the fediverse and singing kumbaya while holding hands in a circle is mandatory.
You've missed out on your two last session, which explains your attitude. A Hugmobile has been dispatched to your location.
Do not resist the people in the teddybear suits. They're there to help you.

I hadnt heard of it.
I dont understand how anyone could ever think that that comment was appropriate, either. But hey ho.

The content acceptable on Howard Stern is exactly why I actively avoided listening to the show, being a young Christian at the time.
But also millions of Gen Z kids aren't old enough to have heard it either.

Im British. Ive heard of Howard Sterns name. Bout it really.

It’s because Howard Stern made literally everything acceptable. Bullying, abuse, making fun of mentally challenged people… literally everything was fodder and idiots ate it up.
Which is why I hadn’t heard of this either. Everything about Howard Stern has been absolutely repulsive since 1985.

I just commented something really similar! I wasn’t even a young Christian, Howard Stern and his shock jock contemporaries (like Mancow Muller) were gross for anyone with a brain.

Yo it's news to me, that fucking sucks dude. 13 year old party girls??? That's absolutely vile
He was a 40-year-old man when he said it, too. Just to put it into perspective

Apologists in this thread ignoring the IDF bit
I was wondering if anyone was going to mention this! People are arguing “he said it in 2003!” (When he was 40, by the way) and totally ignoring the last part.
