Because Reykjavik is such a tiny, cool city, I did bump into Quentin Tarantino, when he was sitting at the table opposite us in Prikið the other day. Although, because Reykjavik is such a tiny, cool city, I didn't have my glasses on — just in case anybody saw me — so I didn't recognise him. I just thought, "Oh look, there's a very blurry, vaguely foreign-looking man eating a burger by himself. Boo hoo, let's ignore him like we do to all the lonely foreigners."
It wasn't until he got up to leave and Krilli said "He's much taller than I thought he'd be," and I said "Who is?" and he said "Quentin Tarantino," nodding towards the vaguely-foreign looking blur walking out of the door, that I realised I was this close to showing my first short film, "Grammar School", to an internationally renowned director — which I had conveniently brought with me in my backpack, along with my autograph book and DVD player.
Speaking of "Grammar School", I'm going to convert it and put it up on le blonk sometime next week, for one night only, just in case people start accusing me of always making shit up.

So close to signing a contract in Hollywood... Ever heard of contact lenses ?
ReplyDeleteMy eyes bleed whenever I even think about putting glass in them.
ReplyDeleteContacts are made of glass, right? They must be...
You should've gone to specsavers my darling! Can't wait to see the film.
ReplyDeleteThe world's first blemière - I can't wait.
ReplyDeletepleasepleaseplease give a 'heads up' before you put the video up, rather than a surprise screening. I don't want to miss it.
ReplyDeleteAre you sure it was Quentin Tarantino and not Roger Federer?
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the film; and when do you recommend visiting Reykjavik? This lonely foreigner has it on his short list of places to visit next.
ReplyDeleteI've got jelly ones. Contacts, that is. xx
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year, Annie! I've been within a few feet of Tarantino a few times, but I always feel creeped out by him and never introduced myself. Something about him.. eek.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh... we get to see the masterpiece? Perhaps someone should email the url to Quentin.
ReplyDeleteBohémienne
Quentin Smentin, the important thing is you got to hang out with me...Was great seein' you and Bjarni again!
ReplyDeleteWell, seems I've blogged about it then surely Quentin must realise now what he missed out on.
ReplyDeleteHay Samuel, it was great to see you, too.
I will definitely give a heads-up, as soon as I have figured out how to convert it etc.
Happy New Year Annie.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the Grammar School screening. If posting for "one night only," please take into account that you have readers in other time zones. Thank you.
