Rolling Stone -- Uma's feet discussed

Check out the latest issue -- the one with Quentin and Uma on the cover.

It's the cover story, of course. You'll see that the guy who wrote it is kind of a dink, but he does harp on the topic of QT's alleged foot fetish. He sits with Uma and asks her about it, and she admits that she thinks Quentin does in fact have one. It's nothing groundbreaking, actually, but it is kind of cool to see it mentioned in so mainstream a way. The writer doesn't let the subject go, but Uma acts very nonchalant about the whole thing.

We here on the TMF have already known about QT for years now (Pulp Fiction, Dusk Till Dawn, Jackie Brown, Kill Bill V1), as well as his friend and comrade Robert Rodriguez (Four Rooms, Dusk Till Dawn, the Spy Kids films). Foot fetish stuff in all those films. The Rolling Stone article won't shed any new light, but it's kind of fun to read.

So there.

Sorry, just remind me, what whas the foot fetish reference in the Spy Kids movies?

Okay, maybe I'm stretching it a little here -- you tell me. In Four Rooms, he had a scene where a young girl tricks her little brother into smelling her feet ("They don't smell at all... see?" she says to him, stretching out her foot). He gets up close to her sole and sniffs, and she kicks him across the room.

Then, some years later, he makes the Spy Kids movies. The foot thing is very mild, but it's another older sister/little brother foot thing, which I thought wasn't a coincidence. In Spy Kids 2, when the kids are talking telepathically to each other, the younger bro says to his big sis, "Your feet stink." Then, in Spy Kids 3, they bring it up again when they talk telepathically, this time with older sister mentioning it ("My feet stink.").

Not such a great foot mention. And not a tickling mention at all. Hardly footnote-worthy. But whatcha gonna do?

By the way, did anyone see Tony Soprano tickling Meadow tonight? Mostly off-camera, but cute none-the-less.

Boom

It's great that there are such guys around us!
