if they arent i dont get how they can praise a movie so much that had two thirty minute scenes of dialogue (the restaurant with the strudel and the bar) with basically no plot development in those scenes. Edit that boring shi[U]t[/U] down!

[QUOTE=vapid]QT fanboys are not hardcore intellectual snobs.[/QUOTE]
exactly, they are the opposite.
tarrentino makes very entertaining films that dont have anything to say. you have to admire his post modernist pastiches- which is basically what his films are. he acts like he is paying tribute to the film makers he is borrowing from, but in reality the people that are really big fans of his work are the ones that havent seen the original films- for them it seems like freash modern film making. that said i dont have any problem with him, he is a talented film maker and in his own way he is making films of their own style. he has almost become a parody of himself. i have enjoyed each and every qt film- even death proof.
inglourious basterds- the first 2/3's of the film were excellent i felt, yes it was all dialogue but beautifully tense and the actor who plays the jew killer was mesmerising. however the 3rd act was just a disgrace, rediculous ubsurd mess. lowering the film from a 9 to a 7.5 imo. but once again it was a very well acted/scripted enjoyable slice of entertainment cinema.
7.5/10

A Fistful of Dollars is the film you are talking about-it is a shot for shot remake of the Kurosawa movie Yojimbo set in the old west. And Leone did not pretend that he wrote that movie.Kurosawa and the Yojimbo screenplay are credited in the movie.[/quote]
[quote=sergiorodriguez]It's not a ripoff IF YOU GIVE KUROSAWA CREDIT FOR WRITING THE SCREENPLAY.
And Leone only did that for one movie.[/quote]
Ya.
After Kurosawa sued him. :oldlol:
In the original Kurosawa wasn't credited.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Not better than Pulp Fiction. But still awesome.
Loved the movie, but afterward I was like where does the Jewhunter get off brutalizing von Hammersmark for plotting against the Germans when he was the ultimate traitor himself?
Thats my only gripe though. I didnt feel like it was too long at all, didnt feel like any scenes went on too long at all, didnt have any issue with the subtitles. Aldo Raine's italian was hilarious.
I enjoy the self-*********ory Tarantino dialogue marathons, provided they're done right, and arent just a bunch of dumb b!tches yapping (Death Proof). Basement/bar rendezvous scene was great IMO. Landa's rat/jew soliliquoy at the beginning was classic Tarantino stuff. He was definitely the highlight of the movie. His acting and Tarantino's directing did a great job building tension throughout scenes. People complain about the length and inaction of some of Tarantino's scenes but they're all done to build tension. This movie did a great job of it.
Would have liked to have heard why he made the decision he did at the end though. It seemed like he enjoyed his job and was loyal to his cause, and then BAM he's betraying everyone just like that.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Just saw it. F*ck. Instant classic. Absolutely loved every bit of this film. I can see how some would say it needs some more editing, and I might not complain about a shorter running time myself, but hey...that's Tarantino. This is unquestionably him at his best. The dialogue, cast, soundtrack, direction...everything blew me away, and I had pretty high expectations. Definitely want to see it again...and again.
The last scene = :rockon: :rockon:

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
I went to see it yesterday, and I was pleasantly surprised.
Never before was a Tarantino movie so funny in a haha way, and I thought the combination of funny and very explicit violence made for a satisfyingly weird combination.
For overall entertainment value it's his best so far, but I don't know yet if that also makes it his best work overall.
The story has a lot of holes, but that can be said about all of Tarantino's stuff. He makes things happen because he thinks they are cool, not for any other reason.
I also think we can all agree Christoph Waltz (Landa) was terrific.

Maybe this is a spoiler, so don't read if you haven't seen the movie:
I think he just liked his job because it was the best thing he could get for himself, he saw the writing on the wall with the Americans coming and figured he'd take the opportunity to make himself rich and put himself on the winning side of history.

That's only because Leone didn't know if you had to credit someone if you translate the language from Japanese to English or Italian.

at the end when he said "I think this is my masterpiece" or w/e he was in a way talking about Tarentino IMO and I agree.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
It was way too long for a gore fest...2:30 of screen time? More like 2 hrs max for a movie like that! Had me sitting and watching for too long...and Pulp Fiction is countlessly better than this film! Watchman I could deal with 2:30 plus, but for a movie like this.

Sure, but if he was such a mercenary with no loyalty to the Germans why would he go apesh!t on von Hammersmark like that.

Saw it twice; loved it both times.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
I liked it, dragged in parts and probably could have been a bit shorter but it was a well executed Tarantino film.
Enjoyable film, not some kind of cinema masterpiece but none of his films are but it is a very enjoyable viewing. It is weird to watch a Brad Pitt film where he is not the star of the show, Waltz was just brilliant and probably deserves an Oscar mention.

I'm so glad there is one person who feels the same way I do; while Pulp Fiction and Basterds are two really good movies; they are both highly overrated. I never understood the fascination with Quentin's directing, it's like he's everyone's family member and they're trying their hardest to please him.
Was this movie really that much better then say Enemy at the Gates?
Kill Bill in my opinion is Quentin's best work.
I'm not saying Tarantino is not a good director; I just think he's an attention whore who gets too much publicity and it further feeds his already gigantic ego. Give me the Cohen brothers and literally a dozen other directors over him.

The movie was very entertaining, well directed, and Mr. Waltz put in a great performance throughout. But I'll take Pulp Fiction all day, every day.

lol i know what you mean about quentin tarantino. my one friend kept telling me before how sick pulp fiction was, so i was excited to watch it. saw the movie, and i'm not saying it sucked, but i didn't enjoy it as much as i expected i would. same thing with reservoir dogs.. but it's probably cause those aren't my type of movies. either that or i don't have the movie intellect some others have. :rolleyes:

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
Did not like this movie...maybe I wasnt paying attention(which is partially true) but from the parts I watched I really thought it was boring and dragged on. I might also have to factor in I hate WWII movies or most war movies in general
-
Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
watched it last night, movie was entertaining and hilarious. It was a very good plot with lots of twists. I thought the racism was a bit excessive, and the end scene in the theatre was excessive. I'd def watch this again

Re: Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds is better than Pulp Fiction
brad pitt was epic.
"bonjourno"
"he got outta Munich while the gettin was good and came back round here to give yall a whoop'n fer it"
best movie i've seen in a while, but it wasn't as good as pulp fiction. that's certainly not a knock on inglourious basterds, it's a testament to how good pulp fiction is.

One of my fav parts of the movie :cheers: Q. Tarantino made that scene as a homage to the 1974 movie "Thriller: A Cruel Picture" where they did dozens of such slow motion scenes:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzY_qVEngrI[/url]
My personal favorite is the scene where Hans Landa was negotiating with Lt. Aldo "the Apache" and Private Utivich "the little man" to talk with the OSS general and discuss terms of his conditional surrender. Christoph Waltz was great in that scene.
Great movie and i agree that it's the best movie tarantino has done.
