One of Hollywood's most celebrated directors, and longtime friend of disgraced producer Harvey Weinstein, has finally spoken out.

Quentin Tarantino can credit Weinstein for the success of all his movies since Pulp Fiction, with an important mention to Django Unchained, Inglourious Basterds, and the most recent one, The Hateful Eight.

They've been close friends for 25 years -- Weinstein even hosted an engagement party/Pulp Fiction-reunion for Tarantino and his girlfriend Daniella Pick.

Tarantino's feelings and thoughts about the whole Weinstein saga were outlined by actress Amber Tamblyn who had dinner with him last night.

According to Tamblyn, the director says he's been "stunned" and "heartbroken" about the numerous allegations of sexual harassment, assault and rape about his "friend for 25 years Harvey Weinstein".

But what Tarantino said next left many people on Twitter a bit baffled. "I need a few more days to process my pain, emotions, anger and memory and then I will speak publicly about it," he said.

People seemed confused by the emotion-processing bit:
