I get Tarantino wants to do things as realistic as possible, not have things look "movie-ish", etc., but I don't think he needs to go as far as to spit on the face of an actress, literally choke an actress, etc. They're actors. Shouldn't you have enough faith in their abilities that they can give you what you want without resorting to such extreme methods? And especially by doing these methods yourself off-camera?
Reminds me of how William Friedkin did similar stuff when making "The Exorcist" to get the right reaction from his actors, the most realistic takes, etc.
"In an interview, Jason Miller stated that he had a major verbal confrontation with William Friedkin after the director fired a gun near his ear to get an authentic reaction from him. He told Friedkin that he is an actor, and that he didn't need a gun to act surprised or startled."
