Inglorious Basterds

[Kermit, B.]

Samuel L. Jackson's voiceovers seemed tacked on. Maybe there were other quibbles, but I can't immediately recall them.

Holy shit, that was Samuel L. Jackson?  I should probably watch this again.

I hate this movie because everyone else here likes it.

I hate everyone here because they've seen the movie and I haven't.

Or at least hear it again.

And the voice on the other end of the two-way radio was Harvey Keitel.

Yeah, that one I definitely noticed.

Also: Jon is right... This movie is the closest thing to the spirit of Hitler Getting Punched we've yet seen on celluloid.

And that includes that "Punching Hitler" short.

I saw it last Friday.  Tarantino needs an editor with the balls to stand up to Tarantino.  I enjoyed it, but I disagree with "full of action and tension."  There were some VERY slow parts.  I thought it was worth seeing, though.  Pitt is terrific.

I thought the parts that weren't just a bunch of shooting at least advanced the plot, and were therefore effective.  I guess I do see what you're saying; the scene with the "Bear Jew" was a bit drawn out, waiting for his entrance (I didn't give up any plot, don't worry).  Maybe I just chose to remember the awesome parts.

It's no Pulp Fiction, but that would be like comparing the American version of The Office to the British one.

The tension and suspense was evident from the first scene, and there were few scenes where I could relax before something else was happening or going wrong or whatever.  Could just be me though; I am known to be somewhat uptight.

I didn't mind the build on the Bear Jew part. I thought there could have been a lot less plot and a lot more Nazi killing, though.

THI.

I agree, Oleg, that there weren't any pointless scenes.  I just felt that some of the scenes could have been a lot tighter.  I wouldn't have changed a single thing about the scene in the underground bar, though.  That was terrific.

THA.

I loved the opening scene (even though it was long as hell), and the bar scene. They were perfect for me. Pretty much every other scene in the movie could have been tightened, especially the ones between Shoshanna and her would be beau.

The opening scene/chapter is about as close to perfection as movie-making gets. I never see movies in the theatre twice, but I may go see this one again. It's not the masterpiece some critics called it, but it's a pretty darn great movie.

I liked your first couple of albums, but you sold out when you signed to a major label.

No, he's just saying that.

I am reluctant to admit this, but I didn't like this movie.  I agree that chapter one was engrossing.  Everything else was bizarre.

I was just about to start rooting for Cal, too.

I read a review that described this movie as a "Jewish wet dream" about killing Nazis.  During World War II Hollywood routinely made movies creating fictitious battles and victories.  But after the war movies were fictionalized versions of actual events.  Audiences were not prepared for stories that changed the way things played out.  That's why this movie put me off.  It was like seeing Custer win the battle at the Little Big Horn.

[*In a Nutsack]

Well, I liked this movie because it rocked fucking ass.  The opening scene was outstanding.  The actor who played Colenel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz) deserves recognition.

Brad Pitt's character (Aldo) in the white tux doing his best Godfather made me happy.

Two votes against, then?
