Inglorious Basterds

[Edgecrusher7711]

Went to a midnight showing of Inglorious Basterds this morning and it is quite the entertaining flick. Christopher Waltz is great. And Pitt is solid.

Pitt's acting skill often don't get the credit they deserve because of all the off-screen antics. I think he's probably among the more underrated actors

[ISUFan98]

I'm sure MH will be in line tonight to see it.

[Gushawk]

Pitt was awesome in Kalifornia. A nearly great actor, IMHO.

Nearly great is probably accurate. In a 5 tier system he is probably a 2+....but with all the shitty ass acting going on these days...I probably wouldn't argue all that much if someone bumped him up

Comparing Early in Kalifornia to his character in Who Framed Roger Rabbit gives a nice contrast to his good acting skills even as a young actor. He is often cheated and sold short as a pretty boy when the man can, in fact, act. It is unfortunate. Perhaps as he ages he will start to get some much deserved recognition.

Speaking of Pitt...

I don't recall him in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. What role did he play?

[brantshawks]

I'm going to go postal.
I'm wanting to go this weekend and taking my pad and pen to write down all the epic!!! lines I can quote. Want to go? You'll need to drive though as I can't post on movie quote forums and drive at the same time.

See you soon!

I think she's mixing that movie up with the one where he's a human stuck in some cartoon land. It sucked.

"I'm in the killing Nazi business. Let me tell you, business is a booming"

[Edgecrusher7711]

For MH....

The German will be sickened by us, the German will talk about us, and the German will fear us.

[Edgecrusher7711]

Each and every man under my command owes me one hundred Nazi scalps... and I want my scalps!

[Edgecrusher7711]

Actually, Werner, we're all tickled to hear you say that. Quite frankly, watching Donny beat Nazi's to death is the closest we ever get to going to the movies.

[Edgecrusher7711]

Got us a German here wants to die for country. Oblige him.

[Edgecrusher7711]

That was the sound of my Walther pointed right at your testicles

[Edgecrusher7711]

Now if one were to determine what attribute the German people share with a beast, it would be the cunning and the predatory instinct of a hawk. But if one were to determine what attributes the Jews share with a beast, it would be that of the rat. If a rat were to walk in here right now as I'm talking, would you treat it to a saucer of your delicious milk?

Mr. Hawk still wishes it was 1987 when his white washed jeans were "hip and cool", his hero was President, people actually cared about Lionel Richie and all of the best movies were made.


Actually all of that is false. He really just likes be the anti-cool. In the 80s he was a liberal that missed the peace and love of the 70s, hated yuppies and was way into The Cure.

[ISUFan98]

If you're a man and don't like at least one of the following movies:

Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Kill Bill I and II

Then you're either not really a man (and are just hiding it well from the rest of us) or you're a flaming homosexual.

[drbutkus]

Pulp Fiction was transformational. He's laid an egg since, and this movie, while it will be acclaimed, isn't so much. I liked the SS guy, but the whole flick went Mel Brooks meets melting Nazis in a Spielberg tome.

[Lime]

Pulp Fiction was transformational.

Impossible. We've been assured that no one will remember any Tarantino movie in twenty years even though Pulp Fiction is probably the most influential movie in the last twenty years.

New Kids on the Block, TRL with Carson Daily and Brittney Spears were influential too.

Absolutely horrible examples. TRL wasn't influential; it wasn't even original. It was popular, but I wouldn't call it influential at all. It was just a TV version of Casey Kasem. New Kids weren't really influential unless you give them credit for the white-kids-live-hiphop culture. Spears was influential, but she wasn't really new. She was just a Madonna for tweens.

I'm guessing that if you had had this discussion in 1981 you would have been claiming that no one would remember Star Wars or Raiders of the Lost Ark in 20 years. I can't stand Nirvana's music, but I'm not going to sit here and claim that their sound didn't define the music scene in the 90s or that no one would have heard of Kurt Cobain in 20 years.

[Mr. Hawk]

My simple point is that something does not have to be good to be influential. Thus, to support and argument that something is good by arguing that it's influential is silly.

Well, I think that's correct. Someone else will be making juvenile movies with pseudo-witty dialogue and torture porn that the kids and people who think they're elite can claim is "deep". They'll have a new beau and will have long forgotten about Tarrantino, because someone else will take the "edgy" dialogue and torture porn to a new level.

[Iza]

It was a very good movie. His vio-porn double feature was pretty cool, I thought. Not a fan of the Kill Bill movies. I'd have to say the casting was top notch. The German colonel and the female cinema owner were awesome. I don't know who that chick is, but she was great. And it's all true stuff.

What would it make a person who's not seen any of the above??

From the way it's usually classified, I don't think most of Tarantino's work other than his homage to exploitation films of your youth would qualify as "torture porn". Unless, of course, you're one of the six people nationally who deny the impact of Pulp Fiction.

At the very least it rescued Travolta from the Look Who's Talking franchise.

I was entertained. Very different movie to classify, besides Mr. Hawk's pending declaration of "World War II torture porn!" Not really sure it fits any genre unless "Jewish revenge fantasy" is now considered a film genre.

Melanie Laurent was the cinema girl. She was quite fetching. I get the impression she doesn't speak much if any English, too bad, as this otherwise could have made a nice breakout film for her.

Cristoph Waltz was very good as Landa. I thought he stole pretty much every scene he was in.

Thought that they'd have more of the basterds. Focused a lot more on Shoshanna than I was expecting.

I was impressed by Tarantino's devotion to historical detail. I felt like it was a docudrama at times.

[Mr. Hawk]

besides Mr. Hawk's pending declaration of "World War II torture porn!" No, it's "WWII Torture Porn with edgy dialogue, slow motion bullets and heavy metal music!"

Well done.

[Santa Anna's Leg]

Saw it last night, I thought it was good but not great.

A couple of the scenes, the opening and the basement showdown, will go down as some of the best ever, but the whole thing didn't carry together.

Tararantino spent a lot of time on the kind of thing he would love, and I think it goes a little far at times and doesn't do the great scenes justice.

[Herky823]

I just saw it and I thought the movie was great. Brad Pitt is a very talented actor. That is all.

[Hacksaw Jim Duggan]

I just shut this piece of shit off after 35 minutes. Really irritating. But according to Rotten Tomatoes this was sooo Tarantinoan and genius filmaking.


Maybe WW2 or SS is a little to heavy of a topic for me to go to alternative reality fantasy land tonight.

[newsbreaker]

It was fine. Not a great movie, but not bad either. It took a long time before any plot actually developed.
