Creative Captioning: Me & Mr. Tarantino
She's Britain's very own bad girl, Amy Winehouse -- shakier than a lip-synching Britney Spears in stiletto boots, more powerful than Pete Doherty's cat on crack and able to take out small children with a single whip of her rat's nest bouffant. He's our homegrown film auteur, Quentin Tarantino -- still living down "Grindhouse" and cheeky enough to wear sweats to an awards show (in this case, Britain's MOBO Awards). Shape of one black-clad super-duo! Get the Hall of Injustice on the horn, stat.
This unholy alliance is our inspiration for this week's Creative Captioning exercise. What thoughts lurk behind Tarantino's prim smile? And just what is Ms. Winehouse doing? Planning an escape?
Share your own alternate captions below. The best entry will be elevated to a position of prominence here in the blog and the writer of that entry may call him (or her) self "Official Celebritology Captionologist" for the week of Sept. 16 - 22.

This Week's Winning Captions:
QT: "I can't wait to jab her with the adrenaline spike."
AW: "I can't wait for him to jab me with the adrenaline spike." -- Pompous Magnus
Runners Up
"Ok, OK! I'll go to rehab! Just get this ***ing guy off of me." -- b
In a rare moment of clarity, rehab-averse singer Amy Winehouse questions her choice of "sober buddy." -- Thor
If I said you had a beautiful carcass, would you hold it against me? -- SMACK
"Friends" update, circa 2015: Chandler and Janice, together again for the last time! -- d
Honorable Mention for Admirable Irascibility:
Is Tarantino wearing a Wu-Tang tshirt? is that supposed to be "ironic"? I'm tired of the "hip" crowd and their stupid tshirts. If I see another 21-year old in a "More Cowbell" or Cobra Commander tshirt and a fauxhawk, I'm going to stab him. -- OD

"I don't need you to tell me how f*****g good my coffee is, okay? I'm the one who buys it. I know how good it is. When Bonnie goes shopping she buys S**T. Me, I buy the gourmet expensive stuff because when I drink it I want to taste it. But you know what's on my mind right now? It AIN'T the coffee in my kitchen, it's the druggie b*tch who just puked on my shoes."

Posing for a photo with Tarantino, Winehouse gets distracted when she mistakes Keira Knightly for a giant crack pipe.

Tarentino smirks and clutches his pick to star as the sassy and vengeful Mexican 'ho with a heart of gold' in his next picture, while Ms. Winehouse tries vainly to escape....

Tarrantino, sensing she may not remember it in the morning, works to convince Winehouse to get a Grindhouse Tattoo to help publicize the upcoming DVD release.

Following Quentin Tarantino's announcement that Amy Winehouse is his new muse, she quickly looks over her shoulder to make sure Uma Thurman isn't coming at her with a sword.

NOT as a submission, but as a serious comment: What's up with that hand of hers? Does that look like cutting self-mutliation or just rough living???

Saving us valuable space and YOU valuable life time, we hereby present ONE picture of two people you really couldn't give less of a crap about.

No caption, just response for OD.
In Tarentinos defense, he's worked w/RZA of Wu Tang, RZA did the music for both Kill Bills, so at least he's got a decent reason to wear the shirt.
For those that are wondering, you pronounce it "rih-zah."

Bored @ home: I'll accept that excuse for Tarantino. Nothing wrong with whoring yourself out as a billboard for your business associate's other ventures.
But I still stand by the second half of my commment: All hipsters in the DC area with a closet full of "ironic" or "vintage" tshirts are on notice.

although helena's caption was very good, i'm going to have to go with thor's "sober buddy" caption. it made me laugh AND doesn't equate me with AW.

Wait, upon further review, is QT wearing TRACK PANTS?!!! (and yes, I realize I've posted two comments on QT's outfit while ignoring the anorexic, tatted-out rat's nest next to him.)
Posted by: OD | September 20, 2007 5:09 PM
My vote, if we're voting, goes to Thor's Starbucks line.
Although my husband came up with one that made me laugh: "FLAVORS OF THE MONTH. All 1998-2006 product now half off."
And one more thing... is it just me, or is it kind of annoying that a few people here spend all this time and column space arguing about whether or not they're REALLY the person their name thingy says they are, and then turn around and say that WE'RE the ones who are posting lame responses?

Tarantino boldly agrees to prove the theory that, just like standing next to someone big makes you look smaller, standing next to someone who is 80% hair will make any man's forehead appear 50% higher.
