From the WaPo:
Tarantino Confesses to Slugging a Guard at Cannes.
Would seem to be a big deal, as QT is- a decade after "Pulp Fiction" won the Palme d'Or- the chairman of this year's jury. But NO- it actually happened at the Cannes festival 12 years ago, when Tarantino was at the festival promoting his debut film, "Reservoir Dogs."
It could have been worse, I suppose- Quentin could've cut off the guy's ear. Or shoved him off a balcony and caused him to develop a speech impediment. But in those cases, I just hope the media would have the good sense and courtesy to use the past tense in their headlines.
