Teddy Atlas telling it like it is, as always

‘People are full of s***. They want to see something dark. People want to feel close to it and in on it, but, of course, only from the distance of their suburban homes. They want to have the benefit of comfort, security, safety, respect, and at the same time the privilege of watching something out of control – even promote it being out of control – as long as we can be secure that we’re not accountable for it.

With Tyson, the dark thing was always the anticipation that somebody was going to get knocked out. The whole Kid Dynamite thing. But we wanted to believe that the monster was also a nice kid. We wanted to believe that Mike Tyson was an American story: the kid who grows up in the horrible ghetto and then converts that dark power into a good cause, into boxing.

But then the story takes a turn. The dark side overwhelms him. He’s cynical, he’s out of control. And now the story is even better. It’s like a double feature now, like you’re getting Heidi and Godzilla at the same time.’

Tyson Fury chats with Derek Chisora after their third fight

This was the moment that Tyson Fury consoled Derek Chisora in his dressing room after their third fight. This is a lesson for all the other sportsmen and women out there on how you should behave after taking in part in sport. If these two can punch the hell out of each other for nearly ten rounds(in this fight alone) and then sit and have a chat then surely others can do the same. Respect to these two very tough men.

Quentin Tarantino didn’t want Johnny Depp to star in ‘Pulp Fiction’

Quentin Tarantino

While Reservoir Dogs was a stunning debut feature, it was his 1994 film Pulp Fiction that truly transformed Quentin Tarantino into a bonafide global icon. Often cited as the perfect postmodern film, Pulp Fiction revitalised the American filmmaking landscape and influenced the ’90s more than any other cinematic work.

Starring the likes of Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Willis, John Travolta and Uma Thurman, Pulp Fiction is a sprawling exploration of Los Angeles’ seedy underbelly. Delving deep into a dark world of crime and violence, the film paints a complex portrait of one of the most mythologised cities in the world.

During a recent appearance on the 2 Bears, 1 Cave podcast where he discussed his new TV show, Tarantino was also asked about the initial casting process for Pulp Fiction. The director addressed the internet rumours about his first choices for the iconic roles.

Tarantino said: “On the internet, there’s a thing floating around about my wish list of the cast of Pulp Fiction. I didn’t know exactly who I wanted to play this part or that part, so I wrote a giant list with a ton of names. I wanted to get them all pre-approved, and I didn’t know if it was gonna work out or if I would vibe with the person or if they would even do a good job. I just wanted to get them approved.”

One studio executive – Mike Medavoy – wanted Tarantino to cast Johnny Depp for the role of Pumpkin, which eventually went to Tim Roth. Tarantino asked Medavoy: “Do you think Johnny Depp playing the role of Pumpkin in this movie, which is the opening scene and the closing scene that’s it, do you think that will add that much to the box office? Him playing that role?” According to Tarantino, Medavoy replied: “It won’t add a dime, but it would make me feel better.”
