Lol are you suggesting that he uses his movies as a platform to brainwash others in to developing foot fetishes? That would be hilarious. I think its freakin weird but hey, its his movies right? I think he uses all those foot shots and dialogue about feet because that's how he can relay one point in the story according to his own interests.

I love feet. Its not weird. girls have nice feet just like the rest of their body. Quentin is a leader and it can be creepy to some people but so WHAT. so can a boob fetish. Everyone has a quirk. Lets be honest.

I once gave a foot massage, which was very well received. I love Tarantino and his unorthodox approach to female beauty. Feet can definitely tell a million things – like how much does a girl look after herself. Also Uma Thurman's shoe size isn't stereotypically feminine, and yet it doesn't mean she's any less of a woman. Frankly, I can't wait for the Basterds.

Why didn't you include the actual shot of Uma's feet from Pulp Fiction where she greets Vincent and stops the record player?

I think QT's obsession with feet is more than a little creepy and annoying. I like his movies but every time there's a foot shot, it make me roll my eyes especially if the shot goes on a second or two more than it should.

Not all girls have nice feet which is what makes pretty female feet special for some guys. Or a lot of guys actually, you'd be surprised how many guys care about such things.

Just like any other part of their body, girls' feet can be just as sexy and just as aesthetically pleasing to look at. Why do you think they're constantly taking care of their feet and getting pedicures and buying sexy shoes and almost always wearing footwear that exposes their feet or highlights them or makes them look sexy? They know it has an effect on us. I've heard so many girls being complimented on their feet.

The foot is an interesting part of the body and has too many elements to it that have to be juuuuuuuuust right in order for it to be aesthetically pleasing to the eye. It's difficult to explain what they are, but when you see a beautiful foot, you just know it.

Uma Thurman for example, does NOT have pretty feet.

You left out the hottest part of 'Dusk till Dawn'. In the bar when Selma is dancing and she sticks her foot in his mouth and pours the whiskey down that gorgeous leg! Sweet jesus…

@scott: I didn't mean to offend. lol. To each is own. And a boob fetish is not a fetish, it's natural for a man to dream of those funbags.

How could you forget the scene From Dusk til Dawn, where Salma HAyek pours wine down her leg off her foot into Quentin's mouth. He should be thanking Robert Rodriguez more than once for starring in that movie.

I don't see anything creepy about it. It's not like he's trying to hide it. Quentin Tarantino likes female feet. What exactly is wrong with that? Who does it harm? It's not like he's running up and banging random women's feet. People should just be glad he's not the Foot Stomper from John Waters' Polyester!

I like female feet, too. Someone please explain to me what is wrong with that.

I like to have a bowl of feet with milk every morning.

@Phil: Hahahaha. I'm not sure why, but that actually made me laugh out loud. Well played, sir.

This guy is in league with the great masters of directing, a real treasure. He is the only director I find myself want to see more of a soon as i see his most current work.
As a fellow foot lover, he has my undying respect for managing to get a hold of Selma Hayek's priceless peds!

I have a foot fetish too. All you haters out there will never understand what attracts us to a fine set of beautiful female feet. I cant even come to a conclusion myself as why I have a foot fetish. Actually I think it is safe to say that a foot fetishist just has a special capability to admire the traits in a fine foot that others without the fetish do not have. We can just admire something others cant. And YES 'Inglorious Basterds' does have hmm…. TWO shots of the Melanie Laurent's fine feet. One quick one of her foot in a cast and another longer one of her foot on a lap, I saw the glorious movie yesterday. Quentin is showing the world what a foot fetish is, he is not afraid to show it either which is commendable.

Fellow foot lover checking in. Just saw Inglorious Basterds and yes, foot bros, you won't be disappointed.

As for the foot haters, I'm sorry to break it to you, but yes…men liking tits (or ANY part of a woman's body) can be considered fetishistic. Think about it: what do most of us suck on when we're tots? No need to stretch the imagination why most men like tits: we associate our very first feelings of arousal w/ that body part.

For others of us, it was the foot, not the boob, that got hardwired into our libidos. Not that all of us foot lovers were going around sucking toes when we were 2, it's just the way we're wired…wired in the very same way that boob/ass/leg/whateverthehell men are.

tbh, 'fetish' is a little misleading. Paraphilias (like getting off to shoes) is more like a fetish. I think feet, being that they're parts of the body, would be better classified as 'preference.'

I pretty much agree with everyone who said its no big deal. I mean, its his sexual quirk if he wants to share with the universe what harm does it do.

Kind of makes me laugh, affectionatley though.

i don't find it creepy its just not me…i for one am not obsessive over feet but i had one girl with extraordinarily beautiful feet and it really turned me on. my point is everyone has their things…and its his damn movies so let the man show what he wants lol

I don't find Tarantino's fascination with feet fascinating. what I do find fascinating is the mainstream media's fascination with Tarantino's fascination with feet. Inglorious Basterds came out last week and I have yet to see anyone talking about whether or not the movie's actually any *good*, just falling all over themselves to point out that OMG, there's another ten-second shot of a *foot* somewhere therein.

You guys ever think that he does this just so people like the author of this article will give him free publicity?

I also fall squarely into the "what's the big deal?" camp.

Wow, such light is being shed in this forum!

I have always had, as someone said earlier, a "preference" for female feet, though I am turned on by the rest of a woman's body too. I think that Tarantino's acceptance and expression of his passion for feet is healthy and quite possibly necessary to de-stigmatize (if that's a word) the so called "foot fetish". I think the scenes displaying female feet in his movies only add to his own style and distinction as a director. He is taking a taboo and showing it in a perspective that is classy, theatrical, and artistic. The main point I am trying to make is that female feet hold a lot of sexual potency in men like myself, and to see it on the big-screen is really refreshing!

@joejanx:

I think you're oversimplifying it, there is way more to a foot fetish / any fetish than we can not understand and trying to analyze / figure it out only makes it less exciting. I'm also willing to make a large bet that most of the people who downplay it and act puzzled by whats so special about it are just acting like that because they are scared of the overwhelming chemical processes something like this can stir up in your brain !

I LOVE BAREFOOT
