You might have guessed from his penchant for classic genres, but Quentin Tarantino loves doing everything the old-fashioned way.
That’s even the case when it comes to watching films – the Hateful Eight director admitted he doesn’t use Netflix at all, and described the prospect of fans watching films on a mobile or tablet as “The most depressing thing I’ve ever heard in my life.”
Indiewire has published an excerpt from Tom Roston’s book ‘I Lost it at The Video Store: A Filmmakers’ Oral History of a Vanished Era’  in which Tarantino admits to having a collection of “close to 8,000 tapes and DVDs,” many of which he bought from rental stores when they were going out of business.
The Hateful Eight, a Western starring Samuel L Jackson and Kurt Russell, will initially be released in extra-large 70mm format, emphasising how specific Tarantino is about letting fans watch films in the way he’d like to watch them himself.
