Sundance Juror Tarantino vs. Video Paparazzi
Sundance juror Quentin Tarantino, looking a bit the worse for wear, was none too pleased when a paparazzi video camera started shooting him without asking. Tarantino got a bit rough with the guy, then realized the thing would inevitably wind up on YouTube. My sympathies are with Tarantino, who had probably been up late the night before, and was putting in a grueling schedule watching not only the competition films but other stuff he wanted to see, like George Romero's Diary of the Dead. And he was just getting his first sip of morning coffee.
On the other hand: Men!

Quentin has remained refreshingly unguarded, and quite often (remember the Don Murphy "bitch slap" incident?) he just off and does something that many others have been itching to do---and secretly cheer. That he sometimes seems "out of control" is mostly a measure of how tight-assed and self-conscious the showbusiness really is.

David C thinks threatening to hit people is in some way okay. David C is off his meds again.
