-== ACT POORLY AT THE BEEP ==-

How could irrepressible actor QUENTIN TARANTINO, after casting himself in all his directorial outings, not put himself in Jackie Brown? A careful listening will discover him giving a shrill, stilted delivery of lines like "end of messages" as the voice of PAM GRIER'S answering machine. Not quite as sly as Hitchcock, but a lot more pleasant than watching him play a real character.
