Quentin Tarantino is not doing David Carradine any favors because David Carradine is dead and cannot be the recipient of any further favors. Also, immediately stop misusing "begs the question". Don't you have obsessive nerdy interns to catch these sorts of thing?
@Dr. Nick: Do you think he's playing dumb? I wouldn't be surprised if he honestly didn't know anything about the auto-erotic aspect. He's generally clueless about his guests/topics. "Today we have Tippi Heddren, the lovely actress who was so memorably killed in Hitchcock's shower scene. Oh I'm sorry it was The Birds? So tell us, Tippi, what was it like filming Vertigo?"
I like Chuck's answer on Larry's point blank question on what does he make of it: "I think it's under the investigation". I had no idea there was an ongoing investigation of his opinion.
John, is it necessary to protect Carradine's memory or promote his legacy by covering up what happened? I thought good journalism was about getting to the truth.
@gawkimo: Oh now, let's not jump to conclusions. He was there to shoot a movie, remember? I'm in Bangkok frequently on business myself, and every once in a while a guy needs some relief, you know what I'm sayin'?
Just sad that his little adventure turned out to be his last.
@rudi_freude: If in fact David Carradine was found in a hotel room with a rope around his neck and his balls, and he did this during a sexual tryst with a Thai prostitute -- then he's not cool. If he did it with a underage prostitute, he's really not cool. This isn't the NY Gov. banging some entitled New Jereyite who CHOOSES a route to high-class $3,000-a-night prostitution targeting political elites -- call me a prude, but rich old men going to the Third World for sexual favors is sexual exploitation of the poor and kinda gross.

Not in this century. Or the last or the one before that.
Just saying.
