March 27, 2013 Bartle Doo Leave a comment

Oscar-winning screenwriter, foot fetishist and shutter-down of butts, Quentin Tarantino turns 50 this week; a birthday that ages all who remember him being labelled “the hottest young director in Hollywood”.

Oldman! – so whether or not the quality of Quentin’s output decreases as he begins the backslide into old age as he predicted, let’s just be grateful that for now, the Tarantino universe boasts an unforgettable cast of heroes, villains and everyone in between.
