Badass/Inspirational Quotes

Warlord Wrote:Wouldn't surprise me. I've always thought Tarantino to be one of the more over-rated directors in recent times, but he certainly knows his cinema history. His quote about Rio Bravo is hilarious.

"When I'm getting serious about a girl, I show her Rio Bravo and she better fucking like it."

Rio Bravo, for those of you who don't know, is one of John Wayne's most popular films later into his career. Not my favorite Wayne film by any stretch (The Searchers, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance, and The Shootist are all better, IMO), but I certainly do appreciate Tarantino's love for it.

I'll actually admit a soft spot for Tarantino. Sure I know he has stolen half the stuff from other places but I do like the spin he puts on it.

His passion for films is undeniable, I love things like the Rio Bravo quote, 1) Because it's funny and 2) Because I'm pretty sure he fucken well means it
