Discussion on Inglourious Basterds?

[fnfalman]

I'm surprised not to have seen a thread on this movie yet. Anybody seen it?

[karl_1052]

I want to, but I forgot to go this weekend.

Although, I think Tarrantino is highly overrated lately.
He has had two good movies, some mediocre ones and some crap.
Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were great movies, From Dusk Till Dawn was mediocre, and Kill Bill/Death Proof were both crap.

[LeeNetworX]

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction were great movies, From Dusk Till Dawn was mediocre, and Kill Bill/Death Proof were both crap.

'From Dusk Till Dawn' was co-written by him, but it was directed by Robert Rodriguez (same guy that did 'Planet Terror').

I like his movies - they are always entertaining...even if goofy at times. If nothing else, I appreciate his direction and narrative style.

[OneSickPsycho]

I heard it was crap.

[Papa_Complex]

I can't stand Pitt, but went to see it anyway on the weekend. It's vinatge Tarantino. His late-'60s style with Mexican pop and such seems out of place in a WWII movie, but it somehow works. Even Pitt wasn't so hard to take because he sounded like a congenital idiot every time that he opened his mouth.

It's bloody, but not as bloody as Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs. I heard one reviewer this morning who described it in an interesting way; "Jewish porn", due to the fact that the "hard-bitten American commandos" are almost all Jewish. I could see where that comes from, but it isn't entirely accurate either.

Bear Jew!

[Rider]

The previews look pretty cool. There are a few movies either already out or coming out soon that I want to see and this is one of them.

[tached1000rr]

I am a fan of his movies, so I will check it out eventually but not until I can do so in my own home.

"Outta da pahk!"

[CrazyKell]

I can't stand Brad Pitt so I won't be going to see this. I did see PostGrad and it sucked. :lmao:

See above: I can't stand Pitt and liked the movie.

[Homeslice]

Not surprised this type of movie would do well in America, lol

[smileyman]

yeah, I would much rather watch a christian beheaded on Al-Jazeera!

[Tmall]

Decent movie.

The only thing "good" about it was the idea behind it.

Law abiding citizen looks like its going to be a great movie.

[r1chica]

I saw it over the weekend and generally liked it. The gore was a bit much for my liking but wasn't a turn-off as it was relevant to the point he was trying to make. Great story line IMO.

Saw that trailer too. I'll definitely be seeing it.

[Amorok]

That movie was awesome! Ulu even dug it.

[derf]

Awesome movie, it had me laughing from start to finish. For those Pitt haters he had almost a minor role, a supporting actor at best and, this was probably the best movie he has ever been in. Although, the best charachter was the Nazi, followed close by Mike Meyers and the Bear Jew.

Yes the movie is total jew porn, I being a jew pretty much had a boner the entire time.

Anyway, its not a movie that needs to be seen in a theater, but it was worth the free tickets I got to see it with and the $9 I paid for popcorn and a soda. I give it 2 thumbs up.

[JoJoYZF]

Just saw it tonight and liked it a lot. Not very gory, just a few things that I could see being gross if you dont like gore. Overall pretty funny at times and a good story to it.

[Dnyce]

awesome movie

kinda long, but never boring

[RACER X]

Terintino, was on Conan Obryan last night talkin about the movie. Pitt agreed to do the movie while they were getting together at Pitts Vineyard in France........lol

[fnfalman]

I finally got to see it and I definitely dug it.

I wish that Diane Kruger had shown some titties or something.

I'm slightly disappointed in the lack of perverted sexual acts that tend to be in Tarantino movies.

[dReWpY]

digging up old threads.... i just saw it tonight, i liked it, i just didnt really see any humor then i saw qt and it made more sense

[Gas Man]

I just saw it a few weeks back. The funniest part is Pitt. Beyond that I still love it. Classic QT.

[smileyman]

Saw it, enjoyed it but probably not enough to watch it again. A better Jew Vs Nazi movie is 'Defiant' with Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber. It was based on a true story.
Tarantino missed so many opportunities for backstory and character development in Basterds. He coulda left out some of the idle chit chat and done better.

[the chi]

Wayyyy to much individual ranting. Hated it from the beginning and it never got any better. Then again, Im not a QT fan.

[Papa_Complex]

And I'm far from being a Brad Pitt fan, but I quite liked the movie and felt that he made it with his performance.

[goof2]

It wasn't the movie they advertised. I didn't think the whole Shosanna story brought much to the table. There was also a lot of talk about all the shit the Basterds did to build up their reputation, but little of it was shown. That should have been the heart of the movie IMO. I thought it was OK, but nothing special.

[Apoc]

I wasnt a big a fan. Im a huge Tarantino fan, but I didnt like this one.

I find it wierd that `Hell Ride`, produced by tarantino (written & co-directed by Larry Bishop tholugh), was the best thing he`s touched since Pulp Fiction, and it was completely overlooked.

[t-homo]

I started watching it the other night, at like 2 AM. Only got an hour or hour and a half in before I fell asleep. Sadly, I haven't finished it yet and I am normally a huge QT fan.

I liked Hell Ride a little bit. The acting and directing was atrocious, but Dennis Hopper saved it. Overall, it was a 2.5 stars, but it was enjoyable for a one time watch.
Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs could be watched ones a week, for the rest of my life.

[marko138]

Have not seen it.

Anyone seen previews for the new travolta movie? Apparently they bring back the royale with cheese.

Just look at you being on a fuckin roll this morning.

I am rolling. And it's almost lunch time.

fuck that. I'm about to make some bacon and eggs.

[marko138]

Double up on that. Send it this way.

[t-homo]

When I first saw the preview, I said, "That fat, bald guy looks like John Travolta."
:lol:

True life: I thought the exact same thing.

[the chi]

JT is still one of the sexiest men alive, in my book right up there with Sean Connery (ignoring the whole scientology part). His new movie looks like it may be worth seeing. I LOVE him as a bad guy, Face Off was one of his best.

[Gas Man]

Have not seen it.

Add it to the list of things to do... I have it at home.

Did you see him in Pelham 123? Shaved bald?

[HokieDNA01]

Hoping to rent it this week. New TV....Netflix enrolled. Time to catch up on all the great movies I haven't seen.

[CrazyKell]

Welcome to my world, only, minus the "great" for some of them.

Game on. You got Pelham too?

[the chi]

No, I havent seen Pelham yet. I think its on our netflix list.

[Papa_Complex]

See the original.

[z06boy]

Pelam 123 was pretty decent...not great. Travolta's character was pretty cool.

Inglorious Bastard's was pretty decent too. I did get a kick out of Pitt's character as well.

I'll have to check out Travolta's new movie at some point too.

I saw 3 other movies recently that I got from Netflix and all were decent in their own right but not for everyone...kind of dark and strange.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Seven Pounds

Edmund...really dark and strange. :lol:...I didn't rent this..just happened to catch it late at night on an Independant Movie Channel.

[CrazyKell]

I hate Brad Pitt so no way am I watching that movie.

[t-homo]

I saw seven pounds a while ago. Good movie, but I was surprised I liked it.

[Papa_Complex]

I hate Brad Pitt so no way am I watching that movie.

Give it a try. I can't stand him either, but actually liked him in this movie.

[z06boy]

There are several people in Hollywierd that I don't like but will still watch their movie. Some are good actors...I just hate when they open their mouth in public.

I don't go to the theaters much anymore but if it's on TV or through something cheap like Netflix...I'll watch them.

I saw seven pounds a while ago. Good movie, but I was surprised I liked it.

Yeah I thought the same thing.

[Gas Man]

game on. You got pelham too?
yep

[marko138]

yep
Excellent.

[pauldun170]

11 was pretty good.

[karl_1052]

11 was pretty good.

Too bad the other ones were so horrible, they killed Bernie Mac.:(

[fnfalman]

The only movie I thought Brad Pitt was good on prior to Inglorious Basterds was Troy.

[marko138]

Too bad the other ones were so horrible, they killed Bernie Mac.:(
:lol: Was that the cause of death?
