Inglourious Basterds
Tarantino's Purple Dildo Of Set-Napping Shame: A Photo Album
It is Quentin Tarantino’s most anticipated picture in some time: a photograph he snapped of Brad Pitt with a purple dildo. Sadly, Tarantino’s uncharacteristically obtuse framing obscures the scene’s full impact, robbing it of the suspense inherent in seeing the cheek of America’s Matinee Idol receive a loving caress from a huge, purple sex toy.
Wait, what?
Meet Gerry, the dildo Tarantino used to shame actors caught napping on the set of Inglourious Basterds. Should onesuch insolent performer be discovered, Tarantino would produce the dildo as a scene partner, then engage in an impromptu Polaroid session, as Pitt and actor Gedeon Burkhard discovered:
Eventually, every picture went up on a big bulletin board of shame (or, as Bild.de calls it, “Tarantinos Dildo-Fotogalerie”).
Funny story: Michael Bay had one of these on the set of Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, only he used his own member (coincidentally, also turned purple after a freak Mystic Tan debacle).

And if you think this is bad, do you know what Alfred Hitchcock used to do to actors he caught napping?
A little something he called the "Teabag Special."

This is Tarantino's best picture since Jackie Brown.

Also, Michael Bay had no qualms penetrating his actors, and not just the tip. Even his pranks involve explosions.

So Tarantino carries this around with him at all times while making movies? Who's being shamed here exactly?

Lol. That is a very large purple dildo! It would be curious to know what Quentin does with it in his spare time...
