A pointy Quentin Tarantino doing a Q&A after Inglorious Bastards (or, Inglourious Basterds) screening at the Castro Theatre.

Update: According to former SFist editor Jackson West, "[Quentin] showed up at the Zeitgeist last night after the Inglorious Basterds premiere at the Castro, and also stopped by Philz coffee at some point and left a doodle and recommendation the whiteboard." (Thanks, Jackson!)

And now for our second giveaway: Write a haiku with the words, "cult" and "housewives," and enter to win a pair of tickets to the 3 p.m. screening at Castro Theatre on Sunday. The winner will be notified by 12:30 p.m. tomorrow.

Here's your chance to see newly digitally restored 1960s cult gem, Le Amiche, which has been rarely screened in the U.S. Michelangelo Antonioni "masterfully weaves a web of relationships among an ensemble of desperate upper-class Italian housewives." The film was a breakthrough hit for Antonioni, which made him the world's most notorious cult filmmaker and largely overshadowed his earlier films.

The Tiger's Tail is a new thriller by John Boorman that's set in gridlocked downtown Dublin. Real estate mogul Liam O’Leary (Brendan Gleeson) is being stalked by a doppleganger, who has designs on his bank account, his mansion in the suburbs, and his alluring wife (Kim Cattrall). The stalker slowly takes over O'Leary's whole existence, as "the boom times for turn-of-the-millennium Ireland come to an ominous end."
