QUENTIN TARANTINO WANTS TO DIRECT RINGO STARR

Quentin Tarantino has revealed that he would love to resurrect Ringo Starr's acting career and have him appear in one of his films. Of course he would - or he may have just been telling the Liverpool Daily Echo exactly what they wanted to hear. What next, a gritty action film starring Joey Boswell and Lilo Lil?

Anyway, desperate to promote his clunker of a new film, 'Death Proof', Tarantino revealed his great admiration for the man who made the 'Thomas The Tank Engine' gig his very own.

"I'd pick Elvis over the Beatles any day of the week but there's always something special about Ringo," the director bluffed. "I've always thought he had the best stage presence in the band."

Given that Ringo's also 50 percent of the surviving band members and the other one is Paul McCartney, a man too cheesy to be committed to celluloid, he's not exactly spoilt for choice, is he?

Next week, Quentin attends a premiere in Oxford and demands that Radiohead star in his upcoming romantic comedy.

Mariah Carey in the new Ken Loach film.....about a singer, who, because of the appalling pay and conditions and the requirement to dress in pink and look like a ladyboy, goes on strike, then dies like a kestral in a rubbish bin...well thats my dream anyway...
		strangelad on Fri 28 September 2007 said... I have to defend Tarrantino on this, anyone who's ever watched Ringo in Help having consumed vast amounts of acid/mushrooms knows exactly what a great actor he is. As Bill Hicks said "The Beatles were so fucking high they even let Ringo sing a few songs."

		dandyboy on Fri 28 September 2007 said... and surely the results would be better that The 51st State
		ChunkyMunky on Fri 28 September 2007 said... Would happily join forces to ensure that your mariah carey dream becomes a reality mrs m if you'll let me throw a hogtied Celine Dion into the same wheelie-bin!!
		bystander on Fri 28 September 2007 said... I'm trying to get finance for a film about a dancer who dreams of becoming a welder complete with seventies soundtrack. Any offers Mrs Moon? So Tarantino (Mr Pancake Face) is remaking Thomas the Tank Engine? Is nothing sacred?
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 September 2007 said... A simple west end hoofer who gets her big break when her local welder breaks his hands in a bizarre workshop accident.....i have had some dance experience bystander, but alas, no welding skills, but i'd bloody do it, the show must go on! And all that utter bollocks...hope it'll be shot in wide screen..i am quite...erm...well, my tits are quite big.....
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 September 2007 said... ...or am i being presumptuous, thinking the part is mine?
		dandyboy on Fri 28 September 2007 said... Mrs M, I've done some welding (as you know), let me show you how you hold the rod...
		JiggeryCock on Fri 28 September 2007 said... As a potrntial backer for this opus, if they're bigger than Keira Knightley's you've got the part - and a role in the film too (boom-tish)
		ChunkyMunky on Fri 28 September 2007 said... keira knightly...now that is reminscent of 2 fried eggs on an ironing board...or these days a barbeque grilll as Patrick Moore could play the xylophone on those ribs!!!
		MrsMoon on Fri 28 September 2007 said... Keira could wear one of the cups of my bra as a hat...40dd...thinking about it, i might accidently weld one to the work table, might need stunt tits for that scene.....
		ChunkyMunky on Fri 28 September 2007 said... wear two on your head and you'd have a ready made bono-style pair of sunglasses!
		dandyboy on Fri 28 September 2007 said... Even my tits are bigger than Kiera Knightly's, can I have a part too?
		bystander on Sat 29 September 2007 said... The smell of the grease paint, the roar of the crowd, the show will go on and Mrs Moon will weld that final seam getting all hot and sweaty in the process. PS Kate Moss has stolen the only other welder who could have finished the orphanage.
