    BTW: I picked up the original "Inglorious Bastards", an Italian movie that served as the inspiration for Tarantino's latest. Its fantastic and I highly recommend it. It has been re-released in English in the UK on DVD to coincide with the theatrical releases of Quentin's baby and it cost me just GBP 4 in London.

    I thought they'd have similar stories or plotlines, but nope, the ONLY thing that they have in common is the name. And even that's spelt different :/

    Well. It isn't that bad actually. There isn't much swearing so all they'd chop off would be the excessive violence, which is restricted only to certain sections of the film.

     

    But honestly, the movie is brilliant. The unknown European cast is spot-on, and Brad Pitt has one of the funniest accents I've heard in a while.

     

    I just read that the lead baddie won best actor at Cannes for his role in the film. He is unbelievably good for a small time TV actor!

     

     

    Edit: The guy who plays Hitler is laugh out loud hilarious! He's obviously parodying the screaming Hitler from 'Downfall', the one from all the youtube videos, so you can imagine the kind of stuff he gets up to :P

    That's the first good review I've heard. A lot of people are saying the movie is boring.

    Those people are idiots, with all due respect.

     

    If lengthy (but awesome) conversation is something you can't sit through, especially in multiple languages where you need to read subtitles, then yea, it would definitely be boring.

     

    But the end. OH MY GOD. LOL. BJ BLASKOWICZ eat your heart out.

    Watched Inglourious Basterds. HOLY CRAP!

     

    BEST big movie of the year, right next to District 9! Anyone worried that Tarantino had lost it after watching DeathProof *needs* to see this a-s-a-p. Fair warning to mainstream types though since over half the film is in languages other than English. It's also nearly three hours long, with an prologue that takes all the time in the world to set the Jew-Hunter up. You'll watch every small action the characters on screen make waiting for something to happen.

     

    You'll also get more than your monies worth of scalping, murder and mutilation including a baseball bat beating that would make that fascist officer from Pan's Labyrinth proud :eyebrow:

    Just came back from District 9. Liked it. A really well made movie. Felt fresh and different. But I feel it's a bit overrated. The plot became increasing predictable.

    Also the devolution from the documentary style presentation to totally over the top action movie felt a bit jarring.

    Predictability is secondary (I did say there were many an issue with the film, including with the story/plot), but the ride itself was wonderful.

     

     

    I LOL'd at how the bald guy kept surviving EVERYTHING all the way to end.

    Lots more instances of idiocy like that, but I'm not going to hold it against the movie. You don't often see good sci-fi :rofl:

    ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Don't you have the slightest curiosity about what Watchmen director Zack Snyder is doing with your work?

    ALAN MOORE: I would rather not know.

     

    He's supposed to be a very nice guy.

     

    He may very well be, but the thing is that he's also the person who made 300. I've not seen any recent comic book films, but I didn't particularly like the book 300. I had a lot of problems with it, and everything I heard or saw about the film tended to increase [those problems] rather than reduce them: [that] it was racist, it was homophobic, and above all it was sublimely stupid. I know that that's not what people going in to see a film like 300 are thinking about but...I wasn't impressed with that.... I talked to [director] Terry Gilliam in the '80s, and he asked me how I would make Watchmen into a film. I said, ''Well actually, Terry, if anybody asked me, I would have said, 'I wouldn't.''' And I think that Terry [who aborted his attempted adaptation of the book] eventually came to agree with me. There are things that we did with Watchmen that could only work in a comic, and were indeed designed to show off things that other media can't.

     

    ROFL ZACK SNYDER FRANK MILLER :rant:

     

    Edit: Found this while reading up on Return of the Joker.

    @keyo did you see Return of the Joker yet?

     

     

    KKKKEEEYYOOOOO!!!!!

     

    :rant:

    Just finished it! Wow, that was REALLY good! Is it representative of the quality of the series as well, or just a one-off?

     

    The only thing I didn't like was the crazy rock soundtrack! At least they used the old orchestral style score for the flashback!

     

    Excellent film though, thanks guys! :chainsaw:

    Yup seen that. Forget those long haired Japanese girls, the French are the REAL sick bastards :chair:

     

    Oh, and major spoiler in one of the moronic bad reviews on the Metacritic District 9 page. Something they've kept out of all the trailers and interviews. DO NOT READ.

     

     

    50 Baltimore Sun Michael Sragow

     

    It's a bad joke that District 9 will be hailed for its "originality."

     

    50 New York Post Kyle Smith

     

    The movie falls into the same uneasy category as "Eight Legged Freaks": too tongue-in-cheek to be thrilling, not funny enough to be a comedy.

     

    Someone put these people out of their misery :P
