Have you seen Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction?!?! Tarantino loves feet! I would say he has a foot fetish! He has about a five minute close up of Uma's toes! 'Wiggle my toes' - remember she had to wiggle her toes after coming out of a coma... then the other scene - Uma is squising Daryl Hana's eye ball she just plucked out in a trailer... How lovely is that!
Here is link to back it up... not saying it's true ... but watch his movies. He is VERY obvious on his little fetish!
Yes, we ALL know it, even Tyra Banks, and now, the entire country that watches daytime talk shows.
What people may NOT know is that the foot content is specifically written into his scripts. Yes, we know the Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction closeups of Uma's toes, but here's what you probably didn't know.
1) In Pulp Fiction, Maria deMedieros (the French chick in love with Bruce Willis) lies barefoot on a bed and we get a shot of her soles. WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY IN THE SCRIPT. 2) In Pulp again, a close-up of the Latina taxi driver's bare red toes as she steps on the gas pedal after picking up Bruce Willis. AGAIN... WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY IN THE SCRIPT. 3) In From Dusk Till Dawn, a close-up of Juliette Lewis's toes as QT's character leers at them IN THE SCRIPT, WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY THAT THERE ARE CLOSE UPS AND THAT HER TOES MUST WIGGLE. 4) In Four Rooms, no close-ups, but it is WRITTEN SPECIFICALLY that Jennifer Beals came from the pool and is barefoot in a bathrobe. But since the entire scene plays out in a long uncut take with no cutaways, no closeups.
Read QT's screenplays and you'll see that he has thought this out from the moment he put pen to paper and has planned those shots out waaay in advance. The sneaky devil.
Now, if he would STOP with barefoot shots of Bruce Willis, David Carradine and Michael Madsen, I'd feel better about him.

Add Uma to the list of celebrities' feet he should stop shooting. She has the nastiest feet I've ever seen. Posts: 186 | Registered: Sep 2005

I might add that QT has NO FEET in Sin City, but thank heavens, because the scene he guest directed stars Benicio Del Toro and Clive Owen.
Undoubtedly, he will be doing a guest spot on Sin City 2 and Sin City: Hell and Back, but, considering he has to use Frank Miller's graphic novel panels as his storyboards, putting gratuitous close-ups of feet in for no reason other than his (and our) gratification will not be in the cards.
Nor can we expect a whole lot of footie action in his all-male cast of Inglorious Bastards, a WWII Dirty Dozen style action movie.
But here's hoping he and his fellow foot man Robert Rodriguez (He directed From Dusk Till Dawn, Four Rooms and Desperado, all of which have barefoot action in them) will churn out some good close-ups in their next collaboration Grind House.

I don't think Uma's feet are that bad. Definitely long soft soles and good arches.

both tarantino and rodriguez worked on dusk 'till dawn and four rooms (specifically, the third sketch was RR and the 4th was QT). Sure the shots in RR's sketch in 4 rooms was a little underage...
