when I saw it the theater was laughing throughout the whole movie

Thed, side question, did you read and/or see Watchmen?

Did not read/see Watchmen.

I was going to liken Inglorious Basterds to it as a "story placed within history that stays true to the time period but influences the events around it" example

Every WWII film (or film in general for that matter) is fiction to some extent. Whether it's totally made up as Basterds was or based on a true story like Flags of our Fathers, there is always some artistic license. On the one hand I can see how the Basterds have to go after Hitler in order to fulfill their ultimate objective, but on the other I can't reconcile that with the historical inaccuracy. It's just too big of a change to history to swallow as the ending.

True. I respect that. It's just a different approach I suppose. To me, it's all make believe. Especially when it's romanticized like a western adventure. I personally couldn't care less if they give the war an alternate ending. In a way, I actually prefer it.

I absolutely loved everything about this. Hell yeah

interested to see how the premier in Isreal goes over...

Just saw this, loved it one of the best movies I have seen in awhile.

Also I thought it was hilarious when Gobbels started crying when Hitler said it was his best movie yet.

This is a great movie. Tarantino knows his stuff. I don't think I even blinked during the bar scene.
