Death is too good for those involved, Tarantino and that washed up former child actor Kurt Russell.

Imho, the whole story is pathetic.
Its all about the love.
There are artists that make beautiful things.
That ain't them, eh?

Why is Martin loaning out an irreplaceable guitar to begin with. It's almost as much on them.

I just bought a guitar from salvation army thrift store.
A nice cheap epiphone.
Nice low action. Plays nice. Sounds nice.
Cost $39.99 + tax.
Thats the kind of guitar that you do that to. If you really need to.
Just sayin.
I'd rather play it.

They were supposed to switch out the guitar but apparently no one told Kurt ?

I heard of this the other day, and it made me wonder who didn't do their job. Was it the continuity person, prop person, director, 2nd director? Ultimately, it's Tarantino's fault.
If someone had ever told Kurt Russell we have to switch guitars, I'm sure he'd have done so. It s really horrible. I think Martin should have had a policy where if someone wants a loan of an authentic museum piece, they have to pay for a representative to oversee its use. Now, they'll never loan anything. It's quite sad.

Part of the difficulty is the guitar is performed with during the scene. So to have the authentic sound..you have to use the Martin.
I think it's part tragic, it's part funny. A musical instrument that is never played kind of ceases to be an instrument, right?

Pulp Fiction.... Django......Inglorious Bastards for that is all holy! I mean let's not go getting crazy saying Tarantino is a hack!  I would side with people saying Martin shouldn't had let something out of it's possession that was irreplaceable in the first place, accidents happen, especially on movie sets. Hate to see that, but looks like they learned a lesson. |

A guitar of that value should never have been on set! |

He's still a dick for smashing a 148 year old martin!!!!  |

I partially agree but Quentin doesn't tend to fabricate films that way and he rely's a lot less on post than most of his contemporaries. So I think using the instrument on set was fair - it's better for the sound, better for the actors. In this case, it just wasn't better for the guitar. |

To me, more than anything, this sounds like a publicity stunt. From one. Or more likely from both. First, why is Martin's insurance paying off the claim? That should have come from Tarintino's production company or from the studio. Second, why was no one accompanying a "priceless" guitar? Third, why does the article read like a PR piece for Martin/Hateful 8?
Martin has been around too long, and knows too much to send out a priceless guitar without a representative to accompany it. Or maybe it just played bad and they wanted to off it? LOL These scenes get rehearsed over and over for lighting, sound, blocking, acting, etc. before "action" gets called and they "do it" for real. They can only smash the "priceless" one once. Where was the props guy during this? I'd hazard to guess that everyone on the set knew the real deal was going to get smashed, and that there was a "purpose" for it. The whole thing is so stupid.
It's a PR stunt for the movie and for Martin both. Just business.
Although the thought of wasting that guitar makes me kind of ill.....

A priceless guitar would have/should have had a tender accompanying it if was to leave the saftey of the place that it was stored or displayed. The litigator in me suggests that Tarantino's production company will be sued by the insurance company that issued the paper on it. Too bad for the guitar, what a shame.

I blame all this on the metric system. That, or Samuel L Jackson for legitimizing Quentin Tarantino.
