On March 10th, Quentin Tarantino clapped back at Rosanna Arquette for slamming his frequent use of the N-word in films like Pulp Fiction. He accused her of showing a real lack of class after she called her racist and creepy, not art. Arquette spoke out in a recent interview, saying Tarantino gets too much of a pass on the issue. Tarantino responded by noting she was thrilled to join the movie, happily took her paycheck, and now seems to be chasing publicity by trashing it all. This debate is in new for the director. Spike Lee has criticized him for years over his attachment to the word in films like Jackie Brown and Djangle Unchained. On the other hand, Samuel L. Jackson, who starred in several Tarantino projects, has defended the usage as fitting the story's context. Tarantino's blunt style shows up elsewhere too. Earlier this year, he ripped into Paul Daniel's performance and there will be blood, calling it weak and limp. Hollywood peers like Tony Collette, fired back, questioning his harsh words. These exchanges highlight Tarantino's no filter approach to film talk, keeping the conversation

alive in an industry that rarely stays quiet.
