I will become a director. What are we filming? A vivid erotic fantasy in which a group of normal but interesting and emotionally stable people show up, reliably, to a weekly tabletop RPG night.

That is a dirty and farfetched fantasy right there.
The public doesn't know how much they want escapist entertainment about escapism. It's fresh, it's meta, it's a billion dollars in the bank.
Totally unfilmable though. Drat.

Do the actors need to be emotionally stable and have any experience with real tabletop RPG or can I sign up?

Actually the story goes different. There was no foot tequila scene planned, but Salma Hayek improvised it. It's possible that with this scene, Salma Hayek started it all for Tarantino and his feet obsession
Photo taken of Tarantino watching the dailies from that days shoot:
Did she know or did she just guess lucky? Or, did she unleash a kink? No kink shaming. Let the man love feet. Just not mine.
Speaking of feet, in my last movie, there was this new assistant director who was only there for a day and we spent that whole day shooting the "heels touch the ground" scene. Of course, we used the footage for the movie, but it's so weird that nobody seem to know who he is, and he never showed up on set again.
But now that I think about it, he DOES kind of look like Tarantino...
Stellar work btw! You really made me believe that your heels actually WERE touching the ground!
Esteemed Academy Award nominated character actress Margot Elise Robbie is pretty good at acting.
Now if only she can win an Oscar instead of you know, Wikifeet. (Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew. Ew.)
Tarantino will just make some of the best movies you ever watched just to film someone's feet or say the nword.
His movies are fantastic, so I support giving him as long a leash as he wants.

It was distracting how many feet shots there were in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood
UNDERAGE FEET SHOTS
"You can't rape feet!"
Not with that attitude

Bet it took a few takes too lol
The commercial where the nerd kid made out with the supermodel took ~30 takes.
Kubrick level of retakes most likely
Feel like he's no more problematic than he always has been. Watching all the Chappelles of the world aging poorly, Tarantino has said some surprisingly progressive shit in my minimal biased experience
I might just be in denial, but I've always felt like Tarantino's problematicity was overblown
In a world of literal rapists, it's easier to give him a pass.

He loves to go on about the differences between directors and writer-directors.
Seems pretty obvious from here, Mr. Tarantino
I mean do you blame the guy? It's Salma Hayek. It's not what I would have wrote. But it's what he wrote.

I respect a bit of audacity
There was actually a typo, the script said "raising a toast with tequila"

Wait, was that Tarantino? TIL
Sure was!
Well. Hats off to him, he didn't just go for his dreams, he went for his fantasy... And got it
Hats off to him
Also shoes
If he pays me like Salma Hayek - or even a fraction, I'm not picky- sure, shoes off too!
I mean I'd write a scene where my character was sat on by a black bbw if it were my movie.
I hate Tarantino's movies (Resevoir Dogs and Dusk Til Dawn being the exceptions) but I respect this level of being unashamed
To be pedantic, Dusk till Dawn isn't one of Tarantino's movies. It's one of Rodriguez's movie staring and written by Tarantino.

New fetish discovered
He's definitely one of the few directors who is grandfathered in and can still get away with stuff others wouldn't.
I think he gradually built up credibility. If an equally experienced director started doing the same thing today, everyone would wonder how far the fetishism goes and ask a lot of questions.
If you work on a Tarantino film, you know there's going to be foot stuff. But that's as far as it goes - he's not a total creep like some other powerful men in Hollywood. So it's accepted as eccentric.
Wouldn’t Kurtzman and Rodriguez have had more influence in this scene than Tarantino?
