Hot damn. I’m not sure how this one slipped by me, but when “The Golden Girls: The Complete Fourth Season” was released on DVD, the shrink-wrapped cover boasted a heart-shaped special sticker that read, “NEW! See Quentin Tarantino As Elvis!” Luckily, the guys at IGN took a few screenshots, so we don’t actually have to depend on the only crappy YouTube footage that documents this abhorrent:

Until now, this for all we knew was an urban myth, propagated by Tarantino detractors and critics who wanted to show the gregarious filmmaker in the light they felt he deserved - that is, a desperate wannabe who would do anything, including appear on the Fourth Season of Golden Girls as one of ten Elvis impersonators in order to steal some screen time and earn that SAG card.

As the king of cool, Quentin has also been named the winner of the 2008 Ray-Ban Visionary Award, which is in its seventh year of handing out accolades. In addition, Tim Roth is still waiting for Quentin to call him about the Inglorious Bastards movie, which has been in pre-production for, like, years:

It’s official: Quentin Tarantino’s World War II opus, Inglorious Bastards, has now taken longer than World War II itself. The movie, about a group of scoundrels given a suicide mission through Nazi-occupied France is reportedly a 600 page masterpiece. But just one would be enough for Tim Roth (that would be the title page), who for years has been rumored to star in the Dirty Dozen homage alongside Michael Madsen.

Yes, well, I say forget about the flick, not that Tarantino would actually listen to a media hack like myself. It seems like the wartime films of late have been more concerned with rewriting history instead of learning some lessons from what actually went down. Besides, rumour has it that Quentin quite fancies the idea of resurrecting Lindsay Lohan’s career. Of course, this sort of divine intervention would presuppose the notion that Lohan had a career in the first place, and, in return, she’d probably just act like an ungrateful, clueless prick like John Travolta. As a side note, Pam Grier seems to holding her on on Showtime . . . but aside from roles like “Museum Curator,” “The Shopkeeper,” and “Cowboy Bob,” what’s David Carradine been up to lately, anyway?
