Sorry to hear about your struggles, but hope you continue moving forward in a positive direction. I must admit, I'm not sure what the last bit of your comment has to do with anything, but I wish you the best of luck and hope you give those Tarantino flicks a full viewing. I'm not big on films about addiction because most tend to be thinly veiled morality plays. Leaving Las Vegas, in particular, did nothing for me, and Less Than Zero really feels like an '80s relic, and not in a good way. Never watched Trainspotting (crazy, I know), but I did enjoy The Basketball Diaries when it came out. Breaking Bad does a good job, but doesn't really delve too deeply into that subject matter, choosing to treat it as a personal subplot rather than a natural extension of drug culture. Super Fly covers that much more effectively, I think. What do the rest of you think? Any recommendations for films that address addiction as a theme? Don't be afraid to go off the beaten path here. Vampirism has long been used as a metaphor for drug use, and one doesn't have to be a professional critic to see the moral underpinnings of Jekyll and Hyde.

I have only seen half of pulp fiction and 1/3 of kill bill I. I am a rorveecing drug addict. I have a good story as among other addicts, whether celebrities, commoners, reg joe smoes, or priveleged snobs like myself, ( I am not who my friends are, how pathetic, the way they think and live. I have always felt different from everyone one else, I have never felt so alone. But, I know I am not, millions of people struggle with addictions every day. Whether it is drug, alcohol, food, love, sex, co-dependency, gambling,ect .I am familar with all of above. Addiction is so very strong and controlling among all walks of life, if you want to make a film everyone can relate to or know of someone that can relate to this fucking world and fucking hell we go through every fucking second of our lives, you will be a hero, you will save many lives. I am not a writer, poet, or even a college gradute. I am a pretty, kind of smart, gal that thought I was exceptional, and just found out I am not, neither are they. My husband is running for mayor of Houston in 6 months, I was suppose to stay with him so he would look like a devoted husband, blah, blah. I want a real life and real love, don’t you? nikki

Man, you act like the guy impregnated your daughter. Cut him some slack. It’s not like he’s “winning” or proclaiming he has “tiger blood” or somesuch nonsense. Just let the fella make crap movies in peace.

Horrible. At this point I think the only way Madsen can have meaningful cosoirnatevn with Tarantino is by spouting out terrible half baked ideas. Madsen should just let his natural hair color grow out, stop smoking and being in the sun all day CAUSE HIS SKIN IS SUFFERING FROM IT. Two words. Mel Gibson. He looks like a tanned leather bag that’s been thrown around the entire world. Michael Madsen isn’t too far behind. I used to love this guy. What happened? Oh wait. I know. Booze, drugs, alcohol and chain smoking. MADSEN, stop dyeing your hair darker than it was in Reservoir Dogs. I feel sad for you. And stop carrying on like you’re an icon. The only way you could’ve been is if you died RIGHT after Donnie Brasco was made. But you didn’t and YOU AREN’T an icon. You’re just a has been. At least that’s better than a never was, like that Bishop guy in that awful biker flick you were in. Now go ahead and be somebody.

Yeah, I don't take rumors of The Vega Brothers or Kill Bill prequels/sequels seriously. I'd prefer to see Tarantino breaking new ground with each project. Inglorious Basterds was his tribute to Macaroni Combat and the likes of Sgt. Rock or Nick Fury and His Howling Commandos. While my high-minded friends are suffering through Les Miserables, I'll be enjoying the Spaghetti "Southern" of Django Unchained

or he just likes fucking with us. If Tarantino wnetad to make that prequel he would’ve done it at least five years ago. And that twin idea may have worked out if it was one of them but saying both characters have thier own twin and also happen to have the same last name is just pure lunacy. I could believe that Madsen is just setting up a prank that might happen, like maybe one of Tarantino’s fake trailers in Grindhouse will be The Vega Bros. with that completely insane twin idea and they get Travolta and Madsen to star in the trailer. Now that would be hilarious and genius. A little jab at the delusional QT fans.Any-hoo, I think we should stay focused on Grindhouse and Inglorious Bastards. And pray for awesome I.G. casting. I hope Christopher Walken and Steve Buscemi can get their hands on some more Tarantino dialogue.
