Inglourious Basterds

Will take the Mrs. to see this.

I saw a premier a couple weeks ago. Those of you who like Tarantino's work won't be disappointed.

Even the thread title is misspelled.

In the early stages of production it was spelled bastards, but he probably had to change it for wide release since you can't swear blah blah blah

R Dogs and P Fiction were masterpieces and instant classics, I'll give him that. True Romance too in my book. But after that, feh.

I agree. He's become a parody of himself instead of growing and expanding. I'll pass.

Not sure if I can stomach 2 hours of Brad Pitt's god-aweful southern accent.

No doubt it will be entertaining though...

I hope he didn't take lessons from Nicolas Cage.

when he says nazi, it almost sounds like he's gonna say *****r instead

I think the whole point of the movie is suppose to make fun of WW2 movies. I could be mistaken but I think I saw a QT interview where he said that basically all new WW2 movies that have come out are crap and people love them just b/c they are WW2 movies.

Not really. He made this movie because there are so many movies depicting the atrocities done to the Jews, and he wanted to switch it around and have Jews doing something bad-ass.

QT apparently has an artistic reason behind the misspelling and he hasn't yet shared that with anyone. I was referring to "Inglorious" which in the film title is spelled "Inglourious"

I don't have a problem with Tarentino films; with that said, this is the first one of his films I'm particularly excited for.

Reservoir Dogs was outstanding.
Pulp Fiction is a masterpiece.
Jackie Brown had its moments, but was the beginning of the end.

Since then, simpering, poorly written, lazy, boring ****.

Here's hoping.

Looks like it might be good.

It's not like his other work. I liked a lot of his other work and I didn't love this at all.

I personally heard him speak to this and I'm not so convinced. He wanted to make a "fairy tale" and the movie starts out with a "once upon a time" but it's not really a holocaust movie. The very first scene (the only one that could be mistaken for a holocaust depiction) of the movie does not jibe with anything else and creates a lot of issues in the film. And if you really want to try and find the protagonist in this movie, it's really a Nazi, not any of the Americans or the moronic French actress. Also Tarantino claims that his point is to make you happy and excited with a different ending to the holocaust (even though the film is about WWII and Jews play a secondary role) but then later when someone tells him that they didn't really feel happy and excited, Tarantino says his goal was to **** with you. All in all, it's not smooth, it's choppy. The entire first scene could have been cut out as could much of the bar scene. The movie ends up being way too long to appreciate. The french actress is really stupid...amazingly stupid actually. I eye fucked diane kreuger before realizing who she was and then i became a 13 year old acne faced boy. She is a fantastic actress and actually has depth.

The Basterds are Jews.
