is for Bender

Lawrence Bender, that is, to clear up any confusion.

Tarantino’s right-hand man, Bender has produced every one of the filmmaker’s celluloid masterpieces from the very beginning. They met at a barbecue in 1989, and quickly realised that they had to work together.

“We got excited with each other,” Bender recalls. “We were both struggling. We were both outsiders. We both were trying to fight our way into the system. And we just starting talking about, ‘Let’s make a movie together.’” The rest is history.

      would have liked a nod towards true romance under T, instead of the cop out 'T'he that u used, it was pretty much the first feature he wrote, plus the dialog was virtually unchanged by mr scott for the film itself, testament to his brilliant writing skills

      I thought F would be Feet...he certainly seems to have a fixation with them. Aha.

      No mention for his attempt to director a Bond film. Surely the biggest missed opertunity of his entire career!

      "Except he called it a ‘Southern’, because Django transplants Western tropes to the deep south, where Leonardo DiCaprio’s antagonist enslaves Jamie Foxx’s Django." Except Django was never enslaved by Candie Sorry for fangirling

      I'm with pipehitterz with regards to True Romance being completely overlooked, especially as it contains arguably the greatest ever scene Tarantino has ever written. In addition to that, I'm also surprised that "Grave Danger," the two-part CSI story that he did, failed to even get a mention.
