Guest Sweet Tooth Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I very much enjoyed Inglorious Basterds. Just saw Basterds.I love Tarantino... so, so much.Horrible movie. Good action scenes? Yes. Waiting 45 minutes for each scene? Not worth it. The only way I'll see this movie again is if it's playing in the background of some party.

Half an hour dialogue. ACTION! 15 mins dialogue. ACTION! Deathproof just bored we as aside from the action the scenes and conversations didnt do it for me. I am a fan of his other work though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am a fan of his other work thoughI was going to say "You must not be a fan of Tarantino at all", but I figured that wouldn't make sense since I can't say I've seen all of his movies. I just used the example that was freshest in my mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dirtylenny Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 (edited) Watched Inglorious. Nothing new from Tarantino, certainly nothing original, lots and lots of things taken from other movies basically...lots of Leone-isms, shades of Good the Bad and the Ugly, lots of kinda western stylistic standards sorta taken and appropriated and not just Spaghetti Westerns either...There were one or two performances though, acting-wise that kinda set this movie apart, sure it was indulgent but not overly so, not in my opinion, unlike Death Proof (which i also quite liked) there's a lot more substance in the dialogue parts insofar as they assist in the characterisations. I just think that if QT would be a little less reliant on...other peoples meat and potatoes he might grow as a director. He takes in a way that is ham-fisted at times and kinda...a step away from tasteful cheeky little well placed tribute, he actually relies on these things for someone reason. That whole room spiney Carrie thing and that little almost Searchers-ish doorway shot...and that whole "leave one person alive so they can tell everybody what took place" thing that he stole from For a Few Dollars more (twice!)...just loadsa stuff. Its getting to the point now where his...nods to all his influences is whats worst about his movies.He uses pace very well in his movies for his characterisations...this fails him sometimes because the characters don't always have a lotta mileage in em i.e. Stuntman Mike...in fact every character in Death Proof, that was Death Proofs problem i think, because the characters didn't really have anywhere to go the characterisations were very much...exercises in photographing them in a cool way. Basterds characters have a lot of mileage so the pace and dialogue serve them well.A few performances, guy who played Landa, guy who played Zoller, amazing...best performances out of the movie.Overall? Neat movie, i really liked it Edited August 22, 2009 by dirtylenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuddMckagan Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Saw Sunshine Cleaning yesterday. Pretty good overall, a bit quirky (kinda like Juno in a way). The storyline is a bit thin, but the comedy makes up for it. I wanna see Inglorious Basterds and Public Enemies next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LightningBolt Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Was it really as gory as some said? There was a trailor before District 9 and if that bat-to-the-head scene looked like I can imagine after it hit, it's definitely not my kind of movie.

Jackie Moon Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 i liked district 9 just cause it did the whole alien genre practically. most alien movies are of the cheesey cowboy variety (independence day). district 9 was cool cause it was different. for once we weren't being invaded by aliens, but suck with some. what would happen? for the most part the movie seemed realistic, real world scenario. i liked it. started watching the mad max movies in honour of homan. first one was pretty good, nothin to write home about. i really liked the second, good story. i only got about 1/2 way thru the third one before i stopped watching. i forgot how much i hate mel gibson. the first 2 were ok because it was pre-hollywood / fame / douchebaggery mel, so i could look past it, but the third one was way too hollywood for me, mel seemed like more of a star in that one, and youve got tina turner decending from the sky on a cable? ill probably finish it at some point but i havent had a "fuck this guy" reaction like that since i tried to watch mission impossible 3.

JeanGenie Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I'm totally with you but in my opinion the quality of the stories themselves never live up to the quality of the dialouges and situations. His movies are very artificial. I like to compare him to a guitar virtuoso. A guy that basicly can do anything with his medium but at times lacks the story he wants to tell. That's not the way he makes a movie. He said it himself he has the idea of making a blackploitation movie, an exploitation movie, a kung fu movie. He never starts a movie because there's a certain story he wants to tell.No, he starts everything out because there's a certain genre he wants to pay tribute too. He has no interests outside of film and music. It shows in his work, as brilliantly made as it is. The sole flesh and blood exception being Jackie Brown, which is of course, an adaptation.My point still stands though. Yesterday I watched the opposite of an Tarantino film. Apocalypto which was massive. The whole movie is shot in mayatan the original Indio language that was spoken in that area. It's only subtitled. Of course this movie is not dialouge based but the story and the intense actors make that movbie great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krissirge Posted August 25, 2009 Share Posted August 25, 2009 IB - BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAADGod damn how i wanted Brad Pitt and who ever played that jewish bitch to die. Eli Roth was just Eli Roth,baaad actor but the german propaganda film he made was by far the funniest thing in the movie.Why is it that the best things Tarantino has made,True Romance and From Dusk Till Dawn,are movies that he has only written....hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then say it directly and don't pretend that it's wrong just to generously admit that I was right later.I also agree with the above sentance...Apocalypto is really great...

bluesy Posted August 26, 2009 Share Posted August 26, 2009 Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore disappointed the crap outta me.Saw Basterds again twice today. As much as I liked it the first go around, a second helping allowed me to truly appreciate what a masterpiece it is, while the third prominently affirmed those sentiments.
