Like many an American celebrity afraid of damaging his/her image as an uncompromising artiste, Quentin Tarantino tries to keep his hooch hawking on the Q.T. here by shooting ads overseas, in this case in the most alcoholic country in the world. He doesn’t look very happy about it! Explaining how he came up with the idea to use Tarantino, Ali Mammadov, creative director of Dewar’s Russian ad agency Global Point says (translated badly by Google): “Some whiskey is positioning itself for big companies, some emphasis on broad-line, and Dewar’s – this whiskey for successful intellectuals.” Quentin is seen in the Motherland as a “successful intellectual?” Any ANIMAL readers know Russian? We’d love to read the translation of these fake Tarantino quote headlines (click ads). I’m guessing they’re not as snappy as Pulp Fiction dialogue. |Images: adme.ru|

That's easy, although cheesy.
The idea as I see it is to quote both Tommy Dewar as opposed to Q.T.
The first image quotes Tommy Dewar as saying:
"It does not matter what a man stands for, important is what kicks him down" to which the Inglorious Quentn says:
"Our weaknesses tell more about us than our achievements"
The second one is no way better:
T.D.: "There are two kinds of people: the ones that plan to do something and the ones that actualy do"
Q.T. "In the very start not many people believed in us, did they?"
SO to conclude, the third one is as follows:
T.D. "Do not do anything, do not say anything, be nothing – only than may you escape criticism"
Which obviously inspired Quentin to say: "The winners are not loved by many, aren't they?"
Cheesy.
That's some kind of crazy comp job on the last ad there. Look at his right hand. Anatomically possible? I don't think so.
