Inglourious Basterds Movie Review -- Film Pigs #44

The Film Pigs trudge to the cineplex with a vain hope that they will be treated to the Reservoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction Quentin Tarantino but get Death Proof Quentin instead. Nazi-nazi-nazi. Talk-talk-talk. Bore-bore-bore. Explosion. Scalping. Sigh...

I haven't seen it yet, and I hated the fuck out of Kill Bill. I'm wondering when he's going to make original movies that aren't pastiches.

[steedoggydogg]

Never. I don't think he's made a solid movie since Pulp Fiction (and I'm kind of a Jackie Brown apologist - or at least a Robert Forster fan). But even JB does not hold together on repeated viewings - every time I see it I like it less.

I thought Inglourious Basterds was very good. People may talk a lot in the film, but it always either a) reinforces character or b) motivates the plot. There were definitely some weird problems with it (most prominently, Eli Roth's inability to act) but I liked it.

They've stopped remakes so American audiences don't have to read, now remakes are so Americans don't have to hear any accents. The British -- and, thusly, ENGLISH LANGUAGE -- film Death at a Funeral is being remade by Chris Rock.

[steedoggydogg]

I guess we'll just have to disagree. I didn't think anything important was gleaned from scenes like the shoe fitting, which just repeated the setup from the first scene in the movie without any of the suspense (and I do think the first scene of Basterds is really good - it just goes downhill from there for me).

Good observation on remaking a movie to remove accents. This is the kind of nonsense that happens when soulless corporations are making creative decisions.

Even though you played the dicky english teacher that jacked Silas Botwin, I enjoy seeing you as yourself. Thanks filmpigs :) Where is Stephan? Did you ditch him for this flick? Shame.

[steedoggydogg]

Stee was out of town for this one, although I think he would have been just as bored as we were. -Skelton

Long dialogues in a Tarantino flick, who would 've thought :>

P.S., I think that if a lot more of QT's die-hards fans were more literate, they'd see the heavy--and I mean heavy--influence of Elmore Leonard in all his films. All of EL's books in 3rd person POV are really 1st-Person narratives woven into the 3rd-person voice. QT transliterates this device cinematically (again, pastiche), and is heralded as a genius. This is fine, but if you notice, his ego is so big, he doesn't want to give props to E.L. I find QT's work more and more shallow, unoriginal.

[trintube68]

If the movie was called A Glorious Bath Turd, then I might go see it, cause it sounds reminiscent of Caddyshack. Otherwise, I am not a big fan of that manic weirdo.

Don't even get me started about JB.
