I mean, he makes some very intriguing films and all, but an intelligent interviewer likes to be able to ask a question once in awhile.

The case for seeing movies in theaters is simple: Throughout human history, people have always gathered together to hear and experience great stories. Be it around the campfire, in ancient stage plays and auditoriums, and the movie theater is the modern equivalent of that. It's a precious aspect of the human experience, and we should never give that up.

It's a nice thought, eloquently put, and I completely understand why people feel this way about cinema. Me personally though, am kind of done with cinema for the following reasons: a) it's become massively overpriced. For the price I pay for two tickets for a two hour movie (plus an hour of commercials) I could instead have a lovely dinner in a nice restaurant with a friend. b) if you go into a full cinema (which by your reasoning is more to the point, rather than an almost empty screening), you get people who are noisy/smelly/annoying/etc. It'll ruin my mood and my experience of the movie as a whole. c) honestly, the main reason why I used to like the cinema was because you'd see something that wasn't out yet, on a giant screen with awesome sound. Well, with almost simultaneous releases to streaming the first point's almost gone. People now have giant screens with great sound systems at home, which negates the other two reasons - obviously not quite as grand as the large silver screens, but if size is a big argument, then by that reasoning small cinemas should shut down, only leaving massive multiplexes. Gathering together to hear stories is a nice sentiment, but I'm really not there to gather with all the other people around me. I barely get to see any of their faces before the movie starts in the darkened room and I have zero interaction with them during or after. I know there's a thing where people will, for example, laugh more and louder at a comedy when they're within a group. It's basically the main reason why sitcoms used to have a live audience. I, however, am for some reason a little different. I'll laugh my head off at a good comedy or cry my eyes out at a sad drama - when I'm alone. Within groups I always automatically hold back. The last Tarantino movie I saw in the cinema was Django Unchained and I distinctly remember that being just a godawful experience. They played almost an entire hour of commercials, there were endless arguments among the entire room because it was a packed room in a cinema without seat specific tickets, so everyone was trying to make arrangements with strangers so they could sit with their friends (even after the movie finally started), throughout the movie the person next to me had to explain to their friend what was going on, people who were laughing and howling way to much and of course the ever annoying, constant sound of rustling and crunching popcorn accompanying the soundtrack...

I love how Tarantino talked about how jump scares really weren't the thing to cause fear, and that it was the paranoia. Great horror films don't rely upon garbage jumping out on you in the film but instead immerse you in the environment and make the horror plausible. The original alien is a great example of this as although they had bloody scenes the the fear was really about a creature that was always out of sight but ready to get you, like a monster under the bed.

Spontaneously, I went to a 9PM screening of Interstellar on my way home from a dinner. When the credits rolled, I was in a state of overwhelming shock. When I got outside, downtown Stockholm was quiet and empty. When I got home, I collapsed and cried for hours. The intensity of Interstellar combined with Hans Zimmers music was like an emotional deluge of the Hooverdam. It released everything at once. Still to this day, I need emotional release I listen to the Interstellar soundtrack. So Quentin is right about the importance of the movie theatre experience. You can never get it from watching on an iPad. (Yes, I probably looked like phonebooth scene in The Anchorman.)

Poor Rob Bottin had a complete mental and physical breakdown after The Thing. I'm sure it was mentioned in a documentary that he worked every day of production and would go days without sleep to make sure the effects all worked and didn't look bad. I'm kind of annoyed the audience didn't clap after QT gave him his due praise but they've probably never seen the thing

Man, he does a great job of selling the experience of going to the movie theatre. And he's 100% right about it, too. I love a lot of tv, but you have to invest more to go see a movie at the theatre, and that automatically gives it more weight, more meaning.

The Thing is a masterclass in film making. I could go on and on.. This interview was very interesting, but I think that they missed some of the other reasons that make the film truly horrifying, which is understandable given their limited time. The paranoia and the fact that they are isolated with no help coming for months when they clearly won't survive the day is definitely important, especially when they find out what happened to the only other people on the continent, leading to their decision to sacrifice themselves to at least try to save the world.. what a downer! The fact that these characters look like average guys, not like Hollywood actors. The complete absence of women or a love story just accentuates the feeling of hopelessness. The way that the creature assimilates them and the grotesque and creative transformations with those amazing creature effects and the inventive deaths! The tension and mystery without any sort of exposition just slowly simmers until the scene in the dog kennel. I love how Blair imagines where it could have come from without showing us. Very Lovecraftian. The music from Ennio Morricone. The ambiguity of the ending... Best horror film ever made. Full stop!
