Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt Avoided Pot While Shooting 'Basterds'

nydailynews.com:

Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt like their reefer -- but Tarantino swears neither was high while shooting "Inglourious Basterds." "Brad doesn't smoke while he's acting," Quentin told us at a Thursday lunch celebrating his film's Oscar nominations. "And I don't smoke while I'm directing."

Well, I hope they got to party when the filming was done.

Many years ago...If I was conscious I was baked....at school at work wherever and whenever but now....the THC content of the weed these days can make you comatose and really stupid.....never mind fat and sleepy.

I believe them.....and their stories of not partaking while working and being parents and the whole whatever....thousands wouldn't believe them....but I do.

When Brad was here, the word was the price of weed skyrocketed since he was over paying and creating a shortage single handed...here is Woodstock NY...!

This is just a new spin on the old-fashioned sin of gluttony. Pot is fairly harmless when used by adults, and has many legitimate medicinal applications, but incessant, daily intoxication can produce serious derangement, in my observation. One wonders how long it will take for the she-it to hit the little fan inside Brad's brain, making an omelette of scrambled neurons.

In addition to their expenses for herbal enchantment, it would be amazing to know what Brangelina spends for food, wine, home decoration, art collecting, motor vehicles, flights, clothing, etc. I know they give graciously to charity and I respect that, but there is a certain level of conspicuous consumption that begins to turn my stomach at a certain point, no matter how much they give back. There's something really ugly about it.

I personally know many people who continue to live simply, despite great wealth, and I respect them a lot more than Brad and Angie. Not that anyone should give a hoot what I think. This is merely my 2 cents' worth.

Recently watched Robert Mitchum in "Angel Face" (1952). Now there's a guy who had no qualms about smoking reefer on the set. Watch that, and tell me he isn't totally zonked in most scenes. He can barely keep his eyes open.

I don't believe him. Quentin and Brad seem like they smoke a lot of it. His movie was cool. I'm cheering for "Avatar."

rzan1: You saw it! Cool. Wasn't it beautiful. Did you see it in 3-D?

Pitt said on Bill Maher last season that he doesn't smoke now that he's become a dad. Hmm. Think I'm going to have to believe Tarantino that Pitt does still indulge - just not while he's acting (allegedly).

Brad did not cheat on his wife either, and those houses in New Orleans don't cost 200K a pop either

Tarantino is a genius in his field, high or not. Pulp Fiction was my favorite and I am fond K!ll Bill (both) ... he's in a league of his own. Looking forward to seeing Bastards as I am a fan of Pitt as well.

You are in for a treat. But you should have seen it on the big screen. QT is one of less than a handful of directors that when their movie is out I just go.

I wonder what it would be like to kill Nazis while high.

[lizmckenzie55]

I would think pretty much like s. ex, just not as good???

or better depending on how much you hate Nazis!

Just play the old Wolfenstein 3D game.
That's as close as you want to get to actually doing it.

It makes sense for most people to stay clear-headed when working. It would make sense especially for a movie like this one. Other movies might require smoking marijuana on the set during filming.

I Really like QT's idea to make a "Southern." I really like it.
Conservatives' heads would explode!!

I can believe that after watching the film. A lot of coke and shrooms is a better explanation for that mess.

Um.... Quen... .time to start up. You haven't done anytihng good since Pulp... or Res. Dogs. Seriously, try smoking again.... your ideas may flow again.
