inglourious basterds
 

just saw it. i dunno. it was fun but at the same time didn't much strike me as anything special.

Is it better than defiance( I loved it) or valkary?

I'm going to assume that response was a joke

it looks real dumb

I hate brad Pitts voice in this role

Killin Nahtzis

So it was a typical Tarantino flick?

i didn't see his last one but this is probably my least favourite.

it's weird though. it's a really fun throwaway film. like if you go in wanted to be entertained for a few hours then you'll get that, but it's not a film you're going to discuss in years like with pulp fiction or reservoir dogs. watch it but keep your expectations really really low.

Well, the last movie he wrote/directed was Death Proof which I thought was a decent movie but not nearly on par with everything else he's done.

I was looking forward to this but I wasn't getting my hopes up anyway so thats ok to hear..

Nah, its great, The Mask is chatting shit ;)

i think he's trying to give us low expetations so we will be very overwhelmed

Remember that awful vampire movie?

from dusk till dawn?

Nah maybe more just every now and then.

I believe that was it.

Terrible.

that was a rob rodriguez film not tarantino, tarantino was just in it

Something I didnt know is that the Italian Director of Inglorious Bastards, Enzo G. Castellari, plays a Nazi General similar to who he played in his cameo in the original movie. Apparently he's making another movie called "Caribbean Bastards".

Also, I was reading the wiki page for the original and I find it hilarious that they recut the original to focus on Fred Williamson and called it GI Bro.

And in all the press tours and stuff, I saw that Eli Roth pretty much confirmed that "Thanksgiving" will be made into a real move just like "Machete", which means they need to package them together for another Grindhouse double feature.

Oh, ok. Then it was a good movie.

No. It still sucked

the crazy thing is... there are like 5 of those things. i don't think i ever saw anyone rent them when i worked at blockbuster a few years back. best part time job i've ever had.

I loved From Dusk Till Dawn...

Its one of those films that I always have a good time watching.

The other ones were crap though...All I can remember from the other films is Bruce Campbell was in the second one I believe. I just remember seeing a scene where a guy was stabbed with his own sniper rifle by a vampire and thought it was stupid..

Tarantino wrote the screenplay

Inglorious Basterds 7.5/10

I have a pretty positive feeling about the movie but I doubt it will be regarded as highly as his prior movies. It wasn't as bloody/gory as some reviews I had read made it out to be, at least not on the level of Kill Bill, but what was there was pretty awesome, especially the Tavern scene.

Brad Pitt was passable, and I thought the humor he brought kept the movie alive at points. Christoph Waltz stole the movie easily though, I would almost dare say if this were a serious movie that he might garner some awards consideration (he did win best Actor at Cannes). No one else really stood out, which includes Mike Myers, who really didnt go as overboard with his cameo as I figured.

The one issue I haven't settled on is the music, so maybe someone else can chime in.
Hearing spaghetti western themes/70's music/David Bowie in a 1940's Fantasy Nazi War Movie was odd, but it did somehow fit with the movie..but it still felt out of place if that makes sense.

Soemone complete this sentence for me: IF you like _________ you'll like Inglorious Basterds.

i'm kind of iffy about this movie right now....

if you like pulp fiction, resevoir dogs, kill bill 1 and 2, death proof, or jackie brown you'll like inglorious basterds.

I saw it last night. Amazing film.

I would have liked them to delve deeper into the other basterds

yeah i was gutted

I'm gonna have to go with The Mask on this, I love a Tarantino film and although I enjoyed it, it didn't strike me as being as good as his other films.

Although I have a feeling that if I watched this in the comfort of my house that I would enjoy it more.

I thought it was good but would have been better if he didn't add in all that extra "Tarantino" stuff like chapter titles, lengthy dialogue, and an anachronistic David Bowie song. I feel like he let his trademarks get in the way of a great story.

Excellent.

The story's pretty simple. Without the trademarks the movie would be fairly short. I wouldn't trade the conversations for anything. The dialogue is heavy as hell, but its so good that it doesn't take anything away. I thought it added immensely. Personally, it kept me on the edge of my seat and drove the story. The lengthy dialogue creates larger than life characters, and I thought the chapter titles seperate the movie into segments of focus perfectly.

Really loved the whole basement sequence

I agree.

Loved it. I was a bit confused by the Wizard of Oz references though.

The chapter titles worked in Pulp Fiction because they separated different characters in different stories and it signified a change in the point of view. They also worked in Kill Bill just because everything was pretty much fair game in Kill Bill due to the nature of it borrowing so many elements from other film styles. But I just thought it felt thrown in here.

I thought it worked due to the fact that the sequences were very extended, and until the last chapter, didn't have too much to with eachother other than the destination they were moving towards.

The movie wasn't intercut like a normal movie where it would visit the girl and the cinema for 5 minutes, back to the Basterds, back to the cinema, and so on.
It did it in big swoops, so I thought it worked that way. That's how I looked at it.

Eli Roth was suprisingly fun. I thought it was a strange choice when I heard about it, but he really made me laugh. "TEDDY FUCKIN BALLGAME!"

I'm going to see it in thirty minutes, even though the trailers looked pretty bad.

He didn't say it didn't. He was telling you it wasn't Tarantino, which was what you brought up in the first place.

It made almost 40 million over the weekend on he back of Brad Pitt, which has me leaning towards believing there were a lot of upset people given he was only in half of it.

I'm sure you're right. I can't stand peoples obsession with big draw actors screentime. Or big draw actors in general. People decide whether or not a movie looks good based on its cast. I've seen some great movies with obscure or unknown casts, and I've seen some allstar casts turn out stinkers.
It's like a certain portion of society cares more about whos on screen than how the movie is. I guess thats the age old phenomenon of movie stardom.
That's why every Will Smith movie breaks $200 million, regardless of quality
