    Inglourious Basterds

    I'm surprised there isn't a thread about it already. Saw it last night and I loved it, action packed and wickedly funny. I'm not sure it's Tarantino's absolute best but it's pretty close to it!

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    I can't say I personally rate it as highly

    Personally I felt it took absolutly ages to get going, and by the time it actually got to cinema scene and the actual main bit of the film I was bored. It felt far to much throughout that Tarintino had gone ott with the vision. I think he has been caught up a bit to much in his own hype and requires someone to simply tell him to stop and think again about things. Jointly agreed amongst my friends that we'd rather have watched something else.

    Saw it at a preview on Sunday and thought it was brilliant. Better than Deathproof and Grindhouse IMVHO. Very Tarantino; dialogue and character-driven with lots of violence.

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    i thought the way the subtitles read "oui" and "yes" at different times was very remanisent of tarantino. although i agree it's not his best but dam good. the new order for me goes Pulp fiction, resivour dogs, inglourious basterds, jackie brown. i don't cought the others because i havent seen them. from dusk till dawn is good too, even though its not his.

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    It was the dialogue that really impressed me, it might have been a little self indulgent but it was so good it's worth sitting through and it serves as an excellent counterpoint to the extremes of violence.

    As a friend of mine put it, bizarre yet cool.

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    I saw it yesterday afternoon and really enjoyed it, it's a bit of a slow starter and lots of people left the screening I was in about 40 minutes in but the dialogue and characters kept me hooked in nicely which is more than I can say for Death Proof.

    Definitely worth seeing

    They're the same thing surely? Well, at least the 2nd half of Grindhouse is just a slighty cut down version of Death Proof, which I really didn't care for. Planet Terror was excellent though.

    As for this, I will go and see it, but don't really care too much about it. I'd like to enjoy it, but I'm skeptical; his dialogue writing has been poor since he parted company with Roger Avery.

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    Could be they're the same - I meant whichever the schlockish ones he did last with Kurt Russell and the zombie one - both left me pretty underwhelmed tbh.

    I enjoyed IB so much I'd go and see it again and I haven't felt that way about a film in a long while. There's a particular stand-out character (a Nazi) who is, frankly, a joy to watch. It's a slow start but it sets tone and character brilliantly, I thought. I really enjoyed the dialogue, I thought it was very well written and the characters all seem to have good back stories too. Mike Myers' accent wandered around a bit but even that didn't stop my enjoyment of the scenes he was in. Everyone in it performs brilliantly.

    It's quite a long film but a sure sign that I enjoyed it was that it seemed to be over in about an hour, I was so wrapped up in it.

    For the rest of the afternoon I was saying "Grazi," in a bad accent and with puckered top lip to my friend. I think she was a bit fed up with it after a while.

    If you close your eyes during that scene all you can hear is Austin Powers, and for some reason it didn't seem like a bad thing.

    Absolutely loved this film... the 'jewhunter' character was fantastic, absolutely fantastic.

    Death proof was the one with Kurt Russell, and yeah it was bad. Planet Terror was the other one, but that wasn't Tarantino, it was Robert Rodriguez.

    They were both released as one movie with fake trailers in the US - Planet Terror followed by Death Proof, and that was labelled as Grindhouse as it was a tribute to the old B movies that were shown back to back in cinemas, and they were dubbed as grindhouse films.

    Both were then released separately in cinemas and on DVD with slightly longer cuts, mostly because people were walking out of the cinema 1/2 way through the Grindhouse double bill - and before Death Proof.

    Interesting comments from you all regarding IB though - might go see it this weekend, though will prob wait till next week.

    Re: Inglourious Basterds

    This (Machete) looks interesting as a spin-off from the above too (Rodriguez rather than QT.)

    De Niro and Segal to name but a few!

    Watched it yesterday, we all really loved it. Christoph Waltz was the star of it easily. The laughing fit he had on "mounting climbing" was classic
