Quentin Tarantino’s Film Editor, Sally Menke, Has Passed Away

Sally Menke, the editor of Quentin Tarantino’s movies, has been found dead along a Los Angeles hiking trail earlier today.


Police searched the area in Griffith Park late last night looking for her, using bloodhounds and a chopper. She was said to be hiking down the trail with a friend when they got separated. The friend notified authorities after being unable to locate Sally.

They were hiking during the hottest day in downtown L.A., when it got to 113 degrees. It hasn’t been determined if that was the official cause of death or if there were other circumstances that led to her death.

CNN reports:

Menke edited Tarantino’s biggest movies, including last year’s “Inglourious Basterds,” for which she was nominated for an Academy Award. She also was nominated for an Oscar for editing Tarantino’s 1995 film “Pulp Fiction.”

Other Tarantino films edited by Menke included “Death Proof,” both “Kill Bill” films, “Jackie Brown” and “Reservoir Dogs.”

Before working with Tarantino, Menke edited the 1990 film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.”

She was 57-years-old. Rest in peace, Sally.

Quentin Tarantino is a Basterd

Cast members caught napping on the set of Quentin Tarantino‘s new movie Inglourious Basterds were humiliated by a large purple dildo.

The filmmaker introduced sex toy ‘Big Jerry‘ on the first day of shooting and then posted pictures of sleeping stars like Brad Pitt and Diane Kruger, with the dildo, on a daily Board of Shame.

Actor Michael Fassbender admits he was one of the only castmates not to make the board – because he found ways of sleeping in secret. He said,

“Big Jerry was a giant purple dildo, very large in girth and length. Basically, anybody that was caught going to sleep would get photographed with Big Jerry the dildo somewhere near their face and put up on the Board of Shame. The idea was three strikes and you’re out.

This kind of really worried me because I have a tendency to nap. If I have 10 or 15 minutes you’d find me in a corner underneath something but I never got caught.

Brad (Pitt) was up there once on the Board of Shame, Gedeon Burkhard got caught twice, Diane (Kruger) was on the board… There was a lot of people on that board.”

I worked with someone once, he managed one store while I managed another — every time he caught this one employee sleeping, he would take a Polaroid picture of him, then fax it to me with the words, “send help.”

Tera Patrick Cast in Faster Pussycat

Quentin Tarantino is planning to remake Russ Meyer’s graduate thesis on the complex and intertwined relationship between heaving bosoms and ultraviolence, Faster Pussycat! Kill! Kill!

The New York Post reports that porn queen Tera Patrick is being considered for a role. “Quentin loves her, and she’s a dead ringer for original star Tura Satana.” said the source.

Patrick gushes over the Russ Meyer 1966 cult film about three women on a violent desert road trip.

“It would be the hottest remake ever, and I’m honored to be considered,” she told Page Six. “I was built for this part.”

Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill! is a 1965 film directed by Russ Meyer, who also wrote the script with Jack Moran. It stars Tura Satana, Haji, and Lori Williams.

The film features gratuitous violence, sexuality, provocative gender roles, and campy dialogue. It has become a cult film favorite and has been widely referred to in pop culture.

It is one of Meyer’s more provocatively titled and explicitly exploitative films, yet unlike most of his films, it does not contain explicit nudity.

I always think of Paul Oakenfold and Brittany Murphy’s song, which I love for some forsaken reason.

Movie ‘Splash’ – Then and Now

Movie ‘Splash’ - Then and Now - Photo - 1

Darryl Hannah, the mermaid from Splash, who’s been acting for over 25 years, looked cosmetic surgery free at Fergie‘s birthday party in Vegas on Thursday night.

Of her most recent roles, the most memorable may be that of the one-eyed assassin Elle Driver in Kill Bill Volume 1 and Kill Bill Volume 2, directed by Quentin Tarantino. Her performance in these films, as well as her appearances in Northfork, Michael Radford’s Dancing at the Blue Iguana, John Sayles’ Casa de los Babys and Silver City, have been described by some as a comeback.

Tom Hanks – In a play on the expression “art imitating life”, Hanks will play an on screen dad to a young man (Colin Hanks) who chooses to follow in the footsteps of a fading magician (John Malkovich) in The Great Buck Howard. Hanks’ character is less than thrilled about his son’s career decision. A film adaptation of Angels and Demons, the prequel to The Da Vinci Code, has been announced, and on April 11, 2007 it was revealed that Hanks would reprise his role as Robert Langdon and that he reportedly will receive the highest salary ever for an actor.

John Candy died in his sleep on March 4, 1994 while on location in Durango, Mexico, filming Wagons East!. He was 43 years old. An autopsy revealed that he had suffered the complete blockage of one of his coronary arteries leading to a myocardial infarction and a fatal cardiac arrhythmia.

At the time of his death, Candy had been making a concerted effort to improve his health; he had recently quit smoking and had started losing weight. His family had a history of heart disease, and he had been warned by doctors several times before to reduce his weight. There is public evidence to indicate that Candy was highly self-conscious about his weight all his life. A few years before his death, he canceled a scheduled appearance hosting a CBC awards show because the ceremony’s advertising campaign jokingly touted him as “the biggest star in Canada”. (Leslie Nielsen hosted the show instead.)

Eugene Levy‘s career received a tremendous boost in 1999, when he was cast as the clueless but loving dad in the sleeper blockbuster American Pie. He reprised the role for the film’s two sequels, and starred in three straight-to-video sequels, becoming something of a cult hero in the process.

Levy has since worked with Steve Martin and Queen Latifah in Bringing Down the House, and most recently appeared with Martin in Cheaper by the Dozen 2.

Quentin Tarantino Toe Sucking Photos

Quentin Tarantino was pictured sucking some toes at a sushi restaurant:

Quentin Tarantino Toe Sucking Photos

TMZ has the scoop:

quote-pic TMZ spotted the director sucking the nail polish off some random woman’s foot at Empress sushi joint on the Sunset Strip recently. After the “meal” and a few drinks, Q posed for pictures and hopefully downed some Scope.

This is getting plenty of attention in the gossip-sphere:

  • Dlisted: “What’s For Lunch?! Well if you ask Quentin Tarantino that question, he’ll say ‘Jam!’”
  • NinjaDude: “Dirty toe fungus and raw fish…sounds like a delicious meal.”
  • Holy Candy: “Turns out, Quentin Tarantino sucks even more than Grindhouse’s box office receipts.”
  • PopCrunch doesn’t say anything. His reader Marty says: “At least he isnt gay like the rest of Hollywood.”

Not that there’s anything wrong with that. . . .

Top 50 Best Movie Endings of All Time

Spoiler alert… here’s the Top 50 Movie Endings of All Time.

50. The Blair Witch Project (1999) – The movie isn’t particularly scary… at least until the last two minutes, which take the tension level from 10 to 100 at an exponential pace. The final seconds — wherein a member of the cast is spotted, back turned and facing a corner, as an unseen spirit does away with the remaining member of the crew, who’s been filming all of this in a panic-stricken run through an abandoned house — rank as some of the most terrifying moments ever put to film. It gives me chills just to write about it. -CN

49. A History of Violence (2005) – David Cronenberg’s sly, brilliant merger of a revenge fantasy and an essay on the American Dream has an appropriately messy, provocative ending. Tom Stall (Viggo Mortensen) has exposed a terrible truth about himself that’s left his wife, Edie (Maria Bello), in despair. They gaze at each other in silence across the dinner table, and the looks in their eyes lets you know it’s impossible, yet painfully necessary, to pretend nothing has changed. -MA

48. Batman Begins (2005) – As the title suggests, the Dark Knight’s mission to cleanse Gotham has just begin. Commissioner Gordon (Gary Oldman) hands Batman (Christian Bale) a playing card left at the scene of a recent crime. He flips it over, and fanboy hearts race in unison as we contemplate director Christopher Nolan’s next move. -SO

7. All That Jazz (1979) – A film especially priceless in its rendering of death in big, Broadway musical number style. Extremely well collaged as the self-defeating choreographer ties up all his loose ends in fantastical choreographic zeal, Roy Scheider’s Joe Gideon simply walks into a flirtatious angel’s embrace. -RG

46. Dead Again (1991) – The second film Kenneth Branagh directed before his ego became too inflated from his Shakespeare renown, is also still the best helming he has managed to date. Beautifully combining intelligent romanticism with reincarnation between he and his then wife/co-star Emma Thompson, the film gracefully culminates with a death scene, love re-established, and the past resolving itself, without losing an emotional beat. Even those who don’t believe in filmic romance melt as the modern day Branagh holds his partner and exhaustedly says “The door is closed.” -RG

45. Pulp Fiction (1994) – It’s hard to pick this over Reservoir Dogs, since Quentin Tarantino plagiarized himself here, but Pulp is more refined and more funny in its treatment of a Mexican standoff, this time with a “happy” ending to it. Of course, we know the buffoonish Vincent Vega’s going to get shot coming out of the toilet on another job, but he and his Bible-spewing pal get to walk away this time, even if they do look like idiots. -CN

44. Fargo (1996) – Cinema, especially recent cinema, isn’t known for its portrayals of happy marriages — especially not in crime movies. But the last scene in this Coen brothers masterpiece doesn’t involve any blood, bullets, or double-crosses. It just shows the Gundersons, Marge (Frances McDormand) and Norm (John Carroll Lynch), sitting in bed. He tells her that his painting is going to put on a three-cent stamp, she tells him how great that is, and the emotional core that has been developing throughout the film is suddenly sitting right in front of us. No wood chipper needed. -JH

Had enough… or are you thirsty for more? After the jump!

Fergie: I Was a Teenaged Lesbian

Fergie used to be a drugged-out lesbian in real life. Now, she just plays one in the movies.

Fergie Lesbian Chocolate Sex Photo

quote-picSexy Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie has admitted to a series of lesbian flings. Fergie, 31, said she rebelled against a Catholic upbringing and went on a wild sex and drugs spree when she got to 18.

She added: “I have had lesbian experiences in the past. I won’t say how many men I’ve had sex with – but I am a very sexual person. “When I was going through my out-of-control phase, I could have got into very dangerous situations.”

Fergie, real name Stacy Ferguson, also got drawn into Los Angeles’ sordid drug and gang culture. She added: “I had a gun put to my head during a drug deal that went wrong. Luckily I got out of it.”

Fergie, who had a UK hit with Where Is The Love, stars with Quentin Tarantino in new movie Grindhouse – playing a lesbian.

She’s come full circle!

Anybody out there with any Fergie lesbian sex tapes videos –or even photos– should send them to use here at Gone Hollywood. We’ll put them to good use!

Rose McGowan Demands Grindhouse Co-Stars Not Wear Red

Rose McGowan is the Diva in Red, according to Page6.

Rose McGowan Table Long Photo

Rose McGowan Grindhouse Red Dress ROSE McGowan had her female co-stars in “Grindhouse” ready to scratch her eyes out at the L.A. premiere after she had her reps warn them not to wear red because McGowan didn’t want her own red dress upstaged. “It caused quite a stir. The feeling is she’s self-obsessed,” said our spy. Among the beauties ordered to do without red were Rosario Dawson, Jordan Ladd and Sydney Tamiia Poitier. But McGowan was in for a rude surprise when two minor cast members, twins Elise and Electra Avellan, paraded into the theater in bright red outfits. “It was basically a ‘[Bleep] you!’ to Rose,” said the source. McGowan’s rep had no comment, but a pal of hers told us, “She wanted the girls to coordinate what they wore so they would look amazing and sexy and beautiful.” The picture, an homage to the violent, low-budget fare once shown on 42nd Street, features two flicks, Robert Rodriguez’s “Planet Terror” and Quentin Tarantino’s “Death Proof.” Tarantino told the crowd, “It’s OK to get up to take a p – - – during the movie,” to which Rodriguez quipped, “As long as it’s in the middle of Quentin’s film.” The cast later partied at BlackBook mag’s gala outside.

With that body, it’d be hard to upstage her.

ASL‘s J. Harvey thinks Rose has too big a head for such a minor star. “I know she’s the lead, but she just came from like three years on Charmed as the least attractive sister. She’s lucky she got to walk the red carpet again.” Over at OMG!WTF? they don’t think she’s that hot, either.

But look at those pics!

Celebitchy has photos of McGowan’s co-stars. Marley Shelton and Tracie Thoms aren’t the least bit hot. I don’t even know how they got jobs in a movie, to be honest with you.

Some of the other chicks are pretty sexy, though. April Scott and Kristen Bell are kinda famous but they don’t have bods like Rose’s. I’ve never heard of Rena Riffel, Jordan Ladd, Vanessa Ferlito, or Zoe Bell but they’re not bad.

Still, if she doesn’t want to be upstaged at premier parties, she should stick to seethroughs:

Tarantino Plans Two More Kill Bill Films

Quentin Tarantino says two more “Kill Bill” films are in the planning stages. Unlike the first two, however, they’ll be cartoons:

Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriquez are still on stage here at the San Diego Comic Con promoting ‘Grind House’ but we just scored a bit of news you ‘Kill Bill’ fans are gonna freak over. Tarantino spilled the beans that once he finishes ‘Death Proof’ he will beging working on two more ‘Kill Bill’ films! Both films will be animated – the first being a prequel telling the story of Bill, while the second will be a new Bride story (maybe the future plot that was rumoured?).

Interesting. Not sure why they’d go with animation, though; it would seem to take most of the rationale for more movies away, since people have grown attached to the live action versions.
