INGLORIOUS BASTERDS is coming soon...
Hey folks, Harry here... Just letting you know the lowdown on the INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS trailer. If you search around YouTube you can see Entertainment Tonight's tease that they'll be running the 'full trailer' tonight. As you and I both know, it isn't very likely that Entertainment Tonight will run the full, unmolested trailer. You'll probably hear some shrill voice talking over part of it, and they'll do their own whiz bang flashy graphics. And we know the trailer will be hitting this Friday on prints of FRIDAY THE 13TH. But the full unmolested trailer will be debuting online tomorrow and we'll be linking you right to it.
Also, I'm hoping to have my set visit piece finished to go up around the time the trailer hits. If young Quint is concerned about flashy cool Quentin... I can set his worries at peace. This is a teaser trailer, for all audiences. Thus the Green Band attached to the trailer. In my visit, I witnessed over 100 Nazis killed with immense style, flair & fury. My copy of the script has Nazi Brain Blood Splatter across it from a fucking killer Nazi death. I've seen scalps, bloody and dripping. I saw... hell, let's save that for the larger set piece. Just wanted to give you a heads up on the trailer's imminent arrival. Later...

The trailer will not impress you and its all ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHTS FAULT

fuckin hell that looks worse than his River Styx speech in Troy

you blank posting first posting non-reading asshats can get bent. Everyone knows I had the real first.
-
This makes going to the midnight showing of F13th even better...
-
However, Inglorious Basterds (whichever way you spell) is looking very promising.
Fuck Michael Bay. -

Let me guess, AICN already thinks this film is genius
by rowdyroddystriper
This site has no credibility when it comes to QT. He has been making awful films for almost a decade and they still suck his smelly unshowered cock. The Kill Bill films were atrocious.
-
And the only reason why I post here, is to tell you that I don't post in them.
-
Yeah yeah blah blah, go wank off to Transformers hilarious gags and lame ass action. It's ID4 with some robots, and I don't mean that in a good way.
Summer blockbusters don't have to be braindead shit, only when Speilberg and Bay make love. -

They did it better in Gremlins and Apple Mac 1984 commercial
by thepilgrim
As to what your hinting around with the 100 + kills moment. Yeah that fairy tale ending is so original... Damn I'm in a shitty mood today. I'm sorry about that. Please forgive, and thanks for letting me vent.
-
and thats around the same time they started filming the practical minature effects shots for that scene in IB. Co'winki'dink?????
-
All say AYE if you agree.
-
...when A V A T A R will FUCK OUR EYEBALLS this very year?!Fuck Tarantino. To Hell. Most overrated prick director since Steven Fuckberg.

1 of 8 IB's: "What if They is Bald, or Clean Shaven, Aldo Sir?"
by thepilgrim
Lt. Aldo: "Then, you shall scalp their crotch hairs!"
-
The two Kill Bill films were crapfests, indeed.
-
There will be PLENTY OF TICKETS AVAILABLE to every showing of this movie. Trust me.
-
And we care about Avatar... we're known as movie fans and we care about a lot of directors and their work, everyone from Bergman, Fellinni, Tarantino, Cameron, Boorman, to a handful of modern directors.
-
...has got me thinking about Cormac McCarthy's BLOOD MERIDIAN. Talk about your scalpin' stories. I wonder what kind of progress Todd Field has made on it since he took over as writer/director. I'd hate to think that Tarantino might steal Field's attempt at scalping horror.
-
Motoko Kusanagi - Word to the wise, don't EVER second that lunatic asshole.
-
THE POWER OF TARANTINO COMPELS YOU!
-
Can't wait to see a tree of dead babies on the big screen
-
He didn't need a fancy education or websites to pwn you in filmmaking and then beat you on the head with his Oscar 15 years ago.
-
was in Nightbreed where one of the failcircus monster clowns had scalped himself. Dont think it was actually shown on screen.
-
Thanks for you professional opinion on Tarantino. Ahh well if you watched Kill Bill with your eyes closed and your head up your ass i would agree with you. HAAAAAA HAAAAAA HAAAAA.
-
Hey big guy- you don't have to stroke the dude's every single move..its been 15 years since Pulp Fiction ( his last good film )
-
I love all of QT'S films, not one of them was bad. Though I just have a few remarks, I think the new film is going to be his best. But is it just me or do fans of his wish he would roll out more movies! I mean he takes his time making a movie or writing the script, but then can make the dam thing in time for Cannes!? Is it just me or would anyone else like to see this genuis work on a James Bond movie, or any other Franchise? Yeah it would be a departure, but I think it would be great for his fans and film alike, anyone disagree or agree?
-
He's done enough classic films to justify becoming the next Jesus.
-
Or do i think it's spelt the way Aldo Raines say's "inglorious basterds". HMMMMMMM. No he must be a retard cus all the intelligent people say he is.
-
They're premature ejaculators and have sex with Uma Thruman blow up dolls. It's sad really.
-
I wouldnt go that far, calling him the next Jesus. But he is a decent film-maker, he made Munich, and that holocaust movie, which are his best films. Everything else is just $$$ projects for him, but when the man really makes a movie from the heart, without cross-over appeal, the results are nothing short of brillant!
-
Where is your enlightening masterful commentary on the TMAN. It does so make some what amusing reading. You are so obviously an expert in such matters !
-
my blow up UMA just fucking burst
-
Your dudes talk-backs make no sense this time around, talk about QT or his upcoming movie, anything else no one can give two shits about!
-
and Hulk Hogan fighting it out on the top of the roof of Ed McMahon's house.
-
I don't know how many of you have read the script, but how fucking awesome would it be if Brimley playing Winston Churchill? That'd be fucking great!
-
so you post a story saying "go somewhere else to find those trailer snip its" lol..Harry, which website will you be linking off of the when the trailer hits?
-
The incorrect spelling also ensures it can be displayed on marquees and advertised without burden from the MPAA.
-
on whatever the fuck morning show. The View or some shit. Anyway, never again. Words on the screen, wrong aspect ratio, dumb goofy bitch talking... never again.
-
Why is it misspelled again?
-
What about Jackie Brown?
-
Yeah, Jaws, CE3K, Raiders, what shit films they were.
-
He really is a creep; a gross, obnoxious creep.
-
because its a porno...why else would pitt have such a sweet moustache?
-
Who gives a flying rat's ass whether the trailer is red or green band? Go see the fuckin movie when it comes out and worry about how it's being marketed, um, never. It's odd to me how much the abhorrent practice of marketing a movie to death gets so much excitement and attention on a site that is supposedly 'all about the movies.'
-
And where the fuck are both Kill Bills in one DVD set? And the complete Grindhouse? Seriously, I'm too lazy to do the research.
-
but if this the best thing about this movie is "cool" death scenes, I will be sorely disappointed.
-
ANyone wanna bet there is at least one completly silly scene involving jackboots and some giant Uma sized flippers?
-
I didn't stutter- Jackie Brown was weak.
-
...may be enough for most of you nimrods here (and granted it is part of the QT playbook)but go and jerk off to an adolescent shitfest like Friday 13th part 43 if that's your criteria for this film.
-
Looks like he's phoning this one in.
-
it certainly did show his limitations, the fact he really is a One Note film maker, and his impending mediocrity. I'm sorry...but quips, pop culture references, and soundtrack driven scenes do not a great film maker make.
-
In fact I'd say Kung Fu Panda was a more honest and heartfelt homage to Hong Kong cinema than QTs mess.
-
This is the 2nd talkback I've read today with the word molest in it ( the other being the JCVD one )
Is this some weird omen, that Michael Jackson is ready to do some diddling again...or some other kid come forward. -
What kind of voice is Pitt doing there? Movie looks good so far, very excited to see what the trailer has to show.
-
Let me get this straight... QT has written and directed a movie about soldier killing Nazi's and its starring the following... Brad "Tyler Durden" Pitt, Eli "Hostel" Roth, B.J. "Fire Guy" Novak, Til "SLC Punk" Schweiger, Mike "Shrek" Meyers, Cloris "Frau Blucher" Leachman, and narrated by Samuel Mother Fuckin' Jackson.. and people are finding ways to talk shit????
Seriously.. so maybe Kill Bill was basically QT jerking off to his own image.. I will give you that. Maybe he hasn't written anything good since NBK. But take out Kill Bill and what do you have. You have a history of truly one-of-a-kind film making and writing.
When he writes and directs his own shit, he is usually on target. I think we need to wait and see what QT and Co. has put together. It could be shit.. it could also be classic. Of The Great Escape proportions. -
Belay that molestation.
-
This is the backlash. It's science.
-
that and Matthew "It's a Scream Baby!" Lillard.
-
And so does Death Proof. The problem with Death Proof the first time was it came right after Planet Terror, and the change of pace was just too jarring. If you're chillin on your couch, two hours of Tarantino dialogue is a great thing.
-
Jesus Christ this place is inundated with fucking idiots lately.
-
QT wrote and directed Death Proof, your point is null and void.
-
Harry sucks Quentin's dick and swallows?
-
When are people gonna catch on that all he does is make movies patched together from scenes, dialogue and music from almost unwatchable 70's low budget shit! And people think he is some creative god! All hail Quenten and his new shit homage...A bad 70's Italian war flick starring Bo Svenson And Fred Williamson! For fuck's sake already!
-
Will never forget the cool ride it was when it first came on in theaters, Same thing with Res Dogs- watched it too many fucking times. Death Proof I likey still. IB did not like script. I like Aldo though pictured Kris Kristofferson playing him. and Ed Harris as The Jew Hunter. I Believed QT was offering us a much different film before reading it. Was hoping and believing that it was this Gens Dirty Dozen. Expendables will be just that. Was very mad that the IB's were background characters. With little to no character dev.
-
(1) Tarantino is illiterate
(2) BasTARDS is how every single review would choose to type it out.
Unfortunately for CUTIE (QT), they'll just go with "Unwatchable BasTURD" instead. Mark my words, we'll see it called that in countless reviews. -
i cut my OWN ear off.
-
Just axin.
-
Yeah, you were thinking it too. I said it.
-
Never seen so many haters. Where's your movies at, biatches?
-
i hope this is great - death proof was a big let down for me
-
BJ Novak? Eli Roth? Mike Myers? Cloris Leachman? These are who you envisioned when you first heard the words "Inglorious Basterrrrrds"?
-
stacked like fucking cards on a book shelf near the entertainment center.
-
is like saying Homer's Odyssey sucks... BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME FUCKING THING! The guy is a master... god forbid he should insert actual character development into his suspense films. Death Proof shat all over Terror World or whatever that derivative Rodriguez mess was called.
-
HoboCode is dead on correct, Pitt is phoning this one in.
-
Segal, Van Damme, The Barbarian Bros.
-
where was he before that - casting him i that movie was genius - like william hurt as a psycho polish mob boss in "a history of violence" - who knew these guys had those performances in them - maybe roth, novak and meyers are going to surprise everyone - hopefully
-

Arnold, Sly, Bruce are too old for this, lets be frank
by jimmyjoe redsky
casting them would make this a parody - no one would get past the casting - it would be mount rushmore surrounded by extras and nazis
-
i refuse to read most of these QT haters. Filmmakers who are celebrated as a character amongst themselves always get shit. I've loved all of his movies, only slightly enjoyed Death Proof. I've read this script and it is tense, fun and 100% cinematic. So haters can go fuck themselves and watch transformers 2 for all i care, as long as they aren't talking during the film.
-
... oh, wrong tb
-
Got a funny feeling about them...
-
that was not professional.
-
he's putting on a fake midwestern accent.
The mindboggling part in that is that he's FROM MISSOURI. How the F**K CAN YOU BE FROM MISSOURI, AND NOT HAVE A CONVINCING MIDDLE-AMERICA ACCENT. VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. -

either someone's ninja accounting to flood the TB, or there's some inside shenanigans going on. It wouldn't be the first time that staff members made fake accounts to try to reforge the direction of a paid advertisement. -
Actually I am. When I thought of Inglorious Basterds I didn't have a specific type of cast in mind. I mean there are actors who are able to branch out from what they usually do.. and accomplish something great. Having said that this whole thing could go downhill because of the cast.
Thats the hard part about this movie. QT usually doesn't write crap. So at that point it falls upon the cast to pull it through. Having said that this cast is either going to be fucking brilliant or suck shit. I am voting for fucking brilliant.
BTW Death Proof was fucking great.. the only thing that sucked was that Kurt Russel sucked ass. Mickey Rourke would have been much better. -
wow bro - you and I had the same suspicion here.
-
shouldn't you be in Germany looking at a light during the emotional centerpiece of this epic drama?
-
I could either be a sheep and join the rest of you who choose to piss on a film before its released or state an opinion.
As to being a plant, nah, im a business student from southern mass. Then again if I was a plant, thats what i would say.. so i will stick with "blow me". -
...That looks like hardcore fucking shit. The script is one of Tarantinos weaker efforts, the rumour that a film that completely does not need to be cut into two would be cut into two, and then the casting of Brad "I will do my best not to ruin your film" Pitt made me wonder if Tarantino had lost it. But holy shit, just that clip alone verifies that this film is fucked. Pitt looks/sounds unbelieveably awful. Man, count me excited to see the train wreck coming down the line. I can't believe a Tom Cruise Nazi film looks better than a Tarantino one.
-
The dialog in the past few films has been bad, really bad.
-
...The cast you rattled off is one of the reasons it looks like shit. Also add in the fact that the script that leaked fucking sucked, and would be the worst thing he has written if he hadn't written Death Proof. Plus just that short clips of Pitt mangling some lines helps reinforce what crap casting it is.
-
yea because "Hitlers Germany has seen its last sunrise" is fucking poetry.
-
What would you have preferred? The cast of Predator? I mean if he casted people you would typically see in these types of movies.. people would be screaming sellout!!! Oh my god, QT sold out and now hes doing action. Give the guy some credit for at least taking a risk.
-
Yelling "Nein! Nein! Nein!". If that indeed is in this movie this may be Tarantino's Mad magazine version of WW2. Is steam whistling out of his ears?
-
for me is Reservoir Dogs still. I like Pulp Fiction's unconventional structure only i dont care for any of the leads, Willis, Travolta, Jackson, Thurman screen personas are mugging fucks. Meanwhile the more unknowns of Dogs (at the time) are more watchable, that and i'm a sucker for the old school heist movies.
-
ET exclusive?...why no love for Access Hollywood?...Mary Hart must be like 70 years old now
-
Shit, even Tim Blake Nelson would have been a better choice for the role. I'm sure you could sift through at least a dozen grizzled rednecks who could have knocked the role out of the park. Instead of casting a no talent ass clown famous for his abs and tabloid profile. People would have called him a sell out for casting the cast of Predator...? Why? Because Shane Black or Jesse Ventura really pack em in nowdays? But casting a guy who clearly has no ability to play the role simply because he's a household name among women isn't selling out? You're either delusional or a troll.
-
Is that "I may have trouble typing because Jason Statham's cock is thrusting in my throat, and my vision is obstructed by his hairy pubic region", you?
-
Goodbye forever after this one Quentin!
-
It' always a simple argument of aesthetics or an obviously personal distaste for the man himself. I've yet to see a real argument made against his filmmaking, which whether its aesthetically pleasing to you or not, inarguably well done. The only knock I can think of as far as "jerking himself off" is Death Proof, which has great performances but meanders unnecessarily and never really decides on a genre, which is odd considering how obviously "genre" a film it is.
-
since 1995. Seriously, this guy should get the taste of some warm love. Dry Geek
-
Any movie that makes me want to yell "Shut up already bitches!" at the screen more than once, sucks. Two, any movie that spends more time talking about something from another goddamned movie (Vanishing Point) makes me want to fucking hurl. Three, Kurt Russel wasn't crazy enough, nor was he in it enough. He was just the guy with the killer car, then he died like a little baby. Pathetic. Tarantino really dropped the ball on DP, but so far, it's the only one of his films i've been dissapointed with. This one looks like a return to form. Oh, and haters can just STFU.
-

Everyone here disparaging Tarantino is ignoring his characters
by industrykiller!
THATS what tarantino does best: Character. He writes characters that are incredibly fleshed out and lived in, sometimes with only minutes of screen time. The post above this talks about how Stuntman Mike dies like a "baby", yeah thats the whole point (for the record I totally agree with the rest of his DP points). This murderous swingin' dick turns out to be nothing more than a cowardly pussy when really confronted. When was the last time you saw that in a slasher? The scene where he weeps over his shot arm is a brilliant reveal. Or even Kill Bill, where nary a single character doesn't get a moment of completely human truth, amplified wonderfully by the dichotomy of the cartoon world they inhabit. the guy writes honest characters like no one else in the genre business, and its because his films fall so firmly in the (excuse the pun) pulp fiction category that people give him shit. Cause God forbid we get an action film with some, no not some, INCREDIBLE depth.
-
Aside from Jackie Brown I think I've liked each successive Tarantino film more than the last, so hopefully this will be really good.
-
That Tarantino doesn't have fans, he has acolytes. The kind who cry heretic when you dare to criticize him at all. I hated Death Proof for the exact same reason you liked it - Stuntman Mike wussing out after all that is just plain silly, not "deconstructing the genre." Tarantino screwed up when he didn't have it down to the "final girl."
-
He became so enamored of flashbacks with his first movies that he has developed no idea of how a linear structure works. Of the major directors that came out in the 90s, Tarantino is the only I can think of who has actually regressed. I remember when Grindhouse came out around the same time as the trailer for There Will Be Blood, I was struck by how There WIll Be Blood actually seemed to be about something, rather than just a lot of jerking around. Hell, even Edgar Wright's stuff has more depth than Tarantino.
-
When Stuntman Mike screams bloody murder and acts like a child. I laughed so hard i could cry. Made up for the rest of the film.
-
unlett it's got bewbs
-
unless*
-
The psycho killer shouldn't wuss out.
-
but DEATHPROOF was the worst pile of shit - i still haven't gotten the smell out of my DVD player
-
You cannot honestly fucking tell me you thought Pitt's acting sounded good. For fuck's sake be honest you delusional twats.
-
QT has gone in some odd directions, but I have to admit, he's one of the few directors, like Lynch, Coen, Solendz, and a few others, where I really look forward to seeing his next movie, because the guy does have a definite style, and he so obviously cares about movies. Maybe QB sucks, but I'll probably still enjoy watching it more than Transformers II.
-
but then again, entertainment tonight can make me hate just about anything.
-
WHEN?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
I want to be able to see the version of Kill Bill vol. 1 I saw whilst living in Japan. RELEASE IT!!! -
So this story is basically:
"There's a trailer coming but not on here also Quint is wrong because the movie is really bloody even though he was worried about the look not the violence?" -
This is my first post in years. Usually I can ignore the mass amounts of ignorance that is poured on by you desolate vermins but seriously...judging an entire performance in a movie based on a 5 second clip? That being said, I don't see what was wrong with the accent. Remember, QT directs homages, and if you ask me if Pitt's accent is a little off it's because it's supposed to be. I'm no QT apologist, I disliked Jackie Brown, thought Kill Bill 1 was a bore (though I loved Two), and thought Death Proof could've been better (but the other poster is right, the turn from Mike into a little pussy is what made that movie unique), but come the fuck on. The massive amount of hate you guys can harbor for hollywood talent is sickening. You guys lambaste everyone who says they like QT, citing them as being blind fanboys and whatnot. But your blind hatred is just as, if not, more obsessive than the fanboys.
-
Seriously? no link yet? Come on guys, help a fellow geek out.

Fuck the haterz, QT is great. Death Proof was kinda whatever, but I enjoyed it. Its only negative is the ludicrously long chatty scenes with the girls. Other than that, it was entertaining. Pretty much everything else he's done has been a homerun.
-
the full trailer premiere's on ET tomorrow.
-
of the flick (i do not believe it rises to the level of FILM) is the ludicrously long chatty scenes with the girls
-
More over the top gore, little story....zzzz. Oh and Eli Roth as an actor! It's like Christmas Day!
-
and no, I am don't think everything QT touches was gold. I thought Kill Bill part 2 was a gigantic snoozefest. But unlike some douchebags, I wait to see the damn movie before I dump on it.
-
Funny how everyone picked up on the misspelling of "Bastards", but missed the fact that "Inglorious" is also spelled wrong.
-
NO Ennio Morricone!!!! In QT's headlong, ego driven rush to make Cannes...he pushed out the one thing that would have set this film apart...an honest to God Ennio Morricone score! If having Ennio score your film means you wait 6 months...you Fucking WAIT 6 MONTHS you Fucking Amateur! And Yes...Kill Bill kinda sucked...as an Homage to Hong Kong cinema it fell flat on its smug, to cool for school, round eye ass. As I said..Kung Fu Panda was a better homage to that style of film than Kill Bill was.
-
I liked it back when Tarantino made movies, not "homages." It's like a musician who isn't Wesley Willis trying to play music just like Wesley Willis, you just come off as retarded and/or incredibly pretentious. Kill Bill and Grindhouse did nothing for me. This looks to be more of the same. I'll pass. Bring on the Expendables.
-
i wanna fucking see.
-
"Inglourious Basterds" involuntarily makes my eyes roll every time I see it. Come out of your own asshole, Quentin, before you're lost for good.
-
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWfkENxN_ZA
FUCK YOU -
People who actually think anything after Pulp Fiction is good are usually people who pretend to be knowledgable about cinema but actually have no original ideas or opinions but just know there's something hip about the way Tarantino makes films different than other filmmakers. It's usually annoying white pseudo intellectuals into indie music and wear vintage clothing.
-
I really loved this script. hated a lot of the casting news. I want to this to be awesome. It can be awesome. Be awesome, movie. be awesome. Pitt seems really miscast. All the basterds, the kid from freaks and geeks? The guy from the office? I wanted to laugh.
-
cram it up ur ass u bitchy little tool
-
I'll show you my penis if you suck the shit out of my anus. BRO HIGH FIVE.
-
Total fucking destruction has been doing the same thing for years here, just finding whatever post and ending it the same way which is good because his posts are TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
that for a 'kung fu' film, there was hardly any...kung fu. Seriously. I was expecting multiple fight scenes akin to Fist of Legend. I still enjoy the movies immensely, especially part 1. but it's kind of disappointing to not have much kung fu in a kung fu movie.
-
...is that he has been so self aware and preachy about his own personal pleasures.
Most filmmakers have been inspired by various directors that came before them, and you can see shades of those characteristics in their films, HOWEVER, after Pulp Fiction QT decided to just, well, rip off his inspirations. If "rip off" isn't the right term, then "copy" would be right up there. If that's too much of a claim, then at the very least he's proving to be a film geek with too much money. Like if you were to take your local video store clerk film geek and give him $60 million dollars to shoot his version of the movies he loves.
Dogs and Pulp Fiction were true narratives, with an underscoring of QT's influences. Subtle underscoring. Jackie Brown was the middle mark of QTs best and QTs worst. Almost like you could see it coming.
The Kill Bill movies were so self aware, thus he just didn't pull off the narrative, which could have been excellent. Could have been compelling. Instead he amped it up to the highest degree and focused more on the kung fu and 70s crap rather than the damn story.
I find Death Proof to be a ridiculous experiement. He touted his love for Grindhouse movies... how they were the core of real indie filmmaking. Then he goes and spends $50 million plus to make a crappy movie. I would have respected Grindhouse much more if they would have shot the movies for the kind of budgets that true grindhouse movies fall under. Rodriguez could have done it, look what he did with El Mariachi. But no, they spend millions upon millions trying to emulate movies that are made for well under a hundred thousand. HILARIOUS.
As for Inglorious? I've read the script and it's nothing special. It's 100% self ware. "THIS IS ME TRYING TO MAKE AN OUTRAGEOUSLY VIOLENT AND BADASS WWII GORE MOVIE WHERE PEOPLE TALK COOL!"
Only thing going for it is Pitt. Besides the actual script, I lost interest when Tarantino either changed his mind or didn't have the balls to get the trype of cast he'd been promising for this all these years. The Stallones, Arnolds, Willis', etc. Inspired casting. He got Brad Pitt. That's about it. No interest at all but will reserve judgement when I see the flick. -
I don't get it man, you take so long writing it but then rush to make it? what the fuck? thought this shit was art and needed it's time. I would of waited for the Ennio score.
-
Inspired fucking casting. Too bad they didn't nab Van Damme though. But it'll be compelling to see what these guys do together. Stallone has stolen all of QTs thunder AND I LOVE IT. Maybe Stallone wanted to be in that long rumored QT "Basterds"... and when QT went a different route, he said "fuck you, I'll do it." Speculation, yes. But thanks Sly for throwing more into the mix.
-
Putting a giant robocock on a tranformer is just shabby, Mr. Bay for shame.
Ps- QT is as full of himself as my grandfather's colstomy bag. -
That's more like it.
-
Washed up tough guys who never showed any talent even in their glory days preening in a project so mindless Jean Claude motherfucking Van Damme wouldn't put his name to it. Do you guys huff paint every morning, or does the stupid come naturally?
-
...I actually prefer this movie over his other stuff(it's close, though). It was based on an Elmore Leonard book, for christsakes. Hey, I thought it was a great film just for the scene where Jackson shuts up Chris Tucker for good!
-
Those monosyllabic, expressionless meatheads do one thing and one thing only: flex. I swear some of you just don't realize that the rest of the world moved on from the Commando/Above the Law/Tango and Cash era.
-
Van Damme didn't do it because he wants to be the star in all his movies.
-
"And again, thank Jeebus Arnold and Stallone weren't cast -
Those monosyllabic, expressionless meatheads do one thing and one thing only: flex. I swear some of you just don't realize that the rest of the world moved on from the Commando/Above the Law/Tango and Cash era."
This just proves you have a vagina and you wax is regularly. -
Thats simply not true of Kill Bill or Death Proof. Two films that actually were bad. Kill Bill I let slide, simply because the problems with that film came from shitty financial compromises I guess he had no say over. (moving the ending to the halfway point, censoring the more extreme aspects of the script, removing large action scenes and adding in pointless and dull dialouge exchanges) And what was on screen was for the most part visually amazing. But Death Proof was a disaster. Great performance and character from/for Russell, 2 terrific set pieces, but a lazy, boring, dull story compounded by long stretches of point and shoot nothingness. This latest flick has a lousy script too, a topic thats been covered in depth in other talk backs, but the biggest suprise is just how bad Pitt looks to be. I expected next to nothing from him, but he looks atrocious in the trailer. I couldn't give a fuck about "Arnie, Bruce and Sly" (especially since I can't see any parts in the script that would suit them) but its a pretty shitty cast compared to his other pictures.

Hey Kids! Lets Unleash The Hounds Of Hell!
by elvispresleehorsleyharveyoswaldoprahwinf
OK, you dog fucking children of mongoloids and fleshlights. Lets recount the ways that Q.T. rules your moms buttholes.
1. Q.T.'s spent condoms can be used to heal leprosy.
2. Q.T.'s once inflated his testicles to shield the earth from a giant meteor impact.
3. Pulp Fiction.4. Every year on Christmas Eve, Q.T. brings cocaine and hookers to thousands of orphans around the globe.5. If you scrape the sweaty dead skin from Q.T's back, after a long day on set, and then smoke it in a large bong, the effect is strangely similar to the DMT experience.6. Q.T. crushed Hitlers skull with a green jelly dildo, and thus ended WWII.7. Reservoir Dogs you ignorant cunts. Bow before him! A cinematic messiah with a shotgun for a dick! Blazing a glorious path of carnage thru the endless
depths of your mom's butthole! -
but it's been downhill for QT since Jackie Brown.
-
Michael Bay's Friday The 13th. I'm there... to see the trailer if course.
-
From Dusk Till Dawn was NOT directed by QT. It was directed by Robert Rodriguez, QT's bitch.

Funny how the guys who try to defend Steven Fuckberg...
by motoko kusanagi
...only quote Jaws, CE3K and Raiders (which are all pretty great, indeed).What about those p.o.s. movies like Always, 1941, Hook, The Lost World:Jurassic Park alongside unimaginative borefests like Minority Report, Indy 4, the fucking overrated war action movie Private Ryan, The Terminal, and not to forget the atrocious, horrible trainwreck known as A.I.?After all those crappy films, Steven and I are fucking done professionally.

ALWAYS owns your fucking ass.

There are many problems with that film. First and foremost, the biggest problem is Tarantino just never decided if he was making a chick revenge film or a slasher, and there isn't enough of either for the film to work as both. All the characters in the film are solid,a s usual, btut eh beginning setting up the first round of murders just doesnt have a whole lot of point when the ultimate fate of these characters is simply to die. Secondly the diner scene is just o'erlong and goes on a good long while WELL after the characters are established. I stand by Stuntman Mike though, its an absolutely fantastic character played brilliantly by Kurt Russell (who needs to work WAY more). The idea that after all the swagger and murder that it turns out he's just....some guy. Not a mindless killing machine but just some asshole who is as flesh and blood and as easy a target as anyone else is fucking great. Overall I still thinkt he film is great fun, just much mroe flawed than any of his previous work. As for Kill Bill, I would still call brilliant and Ive never heard any solid argument tot he contrary that isnt just full of aesthetic bullshit nitpicks. I don't know what the studio situation with that film is but I don't think it has any unnecessary dialogue scenes nor does it seem to want for a lack of action.

The Arnold, Stallone, Willis was for Tarantino's original idea. the current or recent script was not the original one.
-
only on aicn will we find nerds like you. the dudes who will denounce something regardless if everyone else likes it. by the way. Hook ruled. Why? The fat kid who rolls around.
-
It has nothing to do with denouncing. And quality has also nothing to do with how much people love something.Have you even watched HOOK lately? I guarantee you, you'll be puzzled how boring, dumb and infantile that flick is.
-
I don't know if you are correct, but I can tell you this, I am more looking forward to The Expendables than Inglorious Basterds. It's not that I hate QT, it's just that after Rocky Balboa and Rambo, and seeing Sly roided out (just kidding Sly, you look great) and the cast for that movie it looks like good old cheesy hardcore 80s action is back.
-
Had this just been the unit going after Nazis I'd be far more excited. I'm tired of the woman angle in Q.T.'s films.
But I will rent I.B., simply to see Enzo Castellari's cameo. QT owes that man EVERYTHING... -
And yeah, I'm glad Sly stole Quinty's thunder and made the real ensemble badass war movie.
-
Thats what I thought.
-
Maybe the movie will suck, but I'm hoping it will be fun
-
They're going to market this flick. I've read the script and the Basterds are indeed only half of the story. From the promos it seems they're gonna go for the "tough men fucking up nazis" approach without giving nearly or any insight on the woman. What will people think when some movie-house loving vixen is the focus and everything is now in black and white in the middle of the narrative? Especially after seeing Pitts mug plastered all over the place in promotion for this thing. It could manipulate peoples expectations. This could either be the best shining moment for QT since PF, or an epic disaster that makes Grindhouse look like a major success.
-
I know - when anyone says it, it only spurns someone to tel us to go fuck ourselves or go on about how QT is "sooo great at building character". But no - he isn't. Kill Bill was a terribly flawed film filled with one-dimensional charicatures. In truth, QT has only had a handful of relevant films (which largely ended when he did Jackie Brown). I don't deny Reservoir Dogs was a fine film and Pulp Fiction was worth a chuckle due to the dialogue....but since then, his work has been superfluous at best and filled with self-knowing dialogue that often falls flat.
-

universal pictures is fucking useless. -
Hell, I could do a more authentic sounding southern accent. I think the scorn toward Tarantino and not say, Spielberg (who has has his share of stinkers), is Tarantino's arrogance. Simply promoting Kill Bill as "QT's 4TH Film"....wwhhhhoooooo..Watching his hyperactive appearances on talk shows prior to Grindhouse, stating how he's filmed the master of all car chases, and how the stuntwork is amazing, bla, bla, bla...one gets the feeling he believes his own overactive hyperbole.
-
you just want to punch.
-
Fucking mouthbreathers the lot of you. You wouldn't know a good film or director if it was reaming yuo up your puckered assholes. Resevoir Dogs kicks ass. Pulp Fiction is arguably the greatest movie ever made. Jackie Brown and Kill Bill are near masterpieces. His Four Rooms segment is sidesplittingly funny. And Death Proof kicks the shit out of Planet Terror.
Inglorious Basterds? It's probably the first QT movie I have had reservations over. Mostly because I find the "ass-kicking Jews" concept tired, pandering, and cliched. Not to mention some of the castign choices. Pitt appears to have phoned it in and I'm not pleased with QT's continued support of Eli "Hack" Roth, but let's hope he's a better actor than director.
But the bottomline is that I will be the first in line to see this because everything QT has done has been 99% better than anything Hollywood produces on a regualr basis. -
...Things stand the same. Looks shit. Looks flat, and the cast fucking sucks. Pitt just completely fucking fails at delivering those lines. It's embarassing. Roth looks retarded, and the Basterds look goofy. Was funny seeing Hitler at the end, but not as funny as the youtube resubtitled Downfall clips. Which is a bad thing. "Pulp Fiction is arguably the greatest movie ever made." That would be a long, long arguement. "His Four Rooms segment is sidesplittingly funny." and also another one of his uncredited remakes. I was still hoping this film would kick ass, simply cause you'd have to hate the guy on a personal level not to recognise at least the talent he has but rarely puts to use. But man, this flick started with a lousy script, and the trailer didn't help at all. Hopefully it somehow kicks ass and will be a nice big suprise for this year.

"Pulp Fiction was worth a chuckle due to the dialogue"
by yeah i wrote that
wow. The point is he made three great crime flicks. The first two are among the finest films of the 90s, and you'll be hard-pressed to find someone who actually knows what makes a film work argue otherwise, fanboy or not. From there, he has experimented, having fun making the movies he wants to make. The reason he gets along so well with Harry is because they share a passion for all things film-related. QT is probably one of the only directors out there who is into watching movies as much as he is into making them. What this means is that we will continue to get these little (and sometimes not so little) excursions into violent subgenres from him. They will continue to be equal parts overindulgent, original, disturbing, derivative, funny, talkative, etc. For better or worse. Maybe one day, he'll make something more serious, but for now, who the fuck can complain about a vehicle designed solely to watch some Nazis get scalped? Don't expect Saving Private Ryan or Apocalypse Now. Expect blood and vengeance, bare feet and profanity. And at LEAST one classic character.
-
His first three films are all good - and Pulp Fiction is one of the best films of the 90s. Over his last couple of films, his love of movie references and genre has kind of trumped his love of storytelling. Kill Bill should've been one film and a few scenes should've been - I'm looking at you Hitori Hanzo sword scene. And Death car or whatever the hell it was called, was more of a genre love letter with cool stunts than an actual movie. So, yeah I'm kind of disappointed that he's not making movies about ideas/characters he cares about - that, instead, he's making movies about movies that mean someting to him. But all his films are interesting and worth seeing. And as a film geek, I'm definitely going to check out Inglorious Basterds because, what the hell, I love movies too.
-
things I agree with you about Reservoir Dogs, and Pulp Fiction. I would even go so far as to say Dogs is the superior movie. Look at it this way, about 80 percent of the movie takes place in one room. Yet, we are drawn into the characters, entrhalled at their interaction, and enjoy a kickass movie. Why? Because the dialogue carried that flick. That's the only way a one room shoot works, adn it sure as hell worked in Reservoir Dogs.

Agree on RD and Pulp..disagree on Kill Bill and Jackie Brown
by scottindc
I love people who sling F words just because someone feels that some of QT's work is overrated. Hobo - there's no reason to be an ass; everyone here is entitled to an opinion (and none of us have to agree with each other) .... I just lok at Quentin's work and I see some very great work (Reservoir Dogs), some very good work (Pulp Fiction), some interesting and fairly entertaining writing/producing collaborations (Killing Zoe, From Dusk til Dawn) and several films people go GA GA over that I didn't like at all (Jackie Brown, Kill Bill). It's ok to not agree...no need to act like an ass about the difference of opinion.
-
Are you actually in DC? I am. Anywho, obviously I'm not responding to the more reasonable people in here such as yourself, even though IMO you are dead wrong about JB and KB. I'm responding to the many many douchbags (like the insufferable DG_DB) in this TB trying to say QT has never made a good film, is overrated, and wish him bannished from filmmaking, when anyone with half a fucking usable brain cell knows that is complete bullshit.
-
He does get some credit for True Romance, Natural Born Killers, and From Dusk Till Dawn too. But two superb films is two more than 99.99% of directors ever do.
-
"And I want my scalps." That's just horrid.
-
Not impressed yet.
-
Yep! Also a DC native - I moved from Eastern Market out to Ashburn though fairly recently (and missing living in the city already). And ya...some people on this talkback do go overboard saying how much Quentin (and other famous Directors/Writers suck). Even the Michael Bay thing seems hilariously hypocritical because the same people complaining about him are the same ones already clammering for the Transformers sequel. (Some even take shots at Bryan Singer for X-Men and Superman Returns apparently forgetting he also did Usual Suspects). Par for the course on this board.
-
Bryan Singer also did the underated 'Apt Pupil'...he was a good director before he decided to make comic book movies
-
The first time I watched it I was like "is that it"? But then the images and colours and soundtrack (QT's best) stuck in my mind...now I'm ready to watch it again and LOVE THE SHIT OUT OF IT.
I'm looking forward to IB...after Kick-Ass my most anticipated movie of the year. But hard to tell from the trailer if it's any good or not. -
Gets a lot of shit on this site, but then so do a lot of talented directors. The trailer looks ok. however, they're making a mistake marketing this as an action movie, when anyone who has actually read the script knows that it isn't. maybe tarantino beefed up that element during shooting; it certainly needed it. is it just me, or did Hitler pounding the desk at the end have a touch of Monty Python about it 'nein, nein, nein!!!'? QT should have cast John Cleese in the part; that would have been inspired casting. 'Don't mention the war!!'
-
Anybody have a link?
-
er dead.
-
I'm sure I will see it because QT has not made a bad full-length feature yet, IMO. I like them all. But this...this just looks like it's gestated way too long in QT's coke-rotted brain.

Just saw the trailer...that's all the action you're gonna get
by executor
Underwhelmed. If you've read the script then you've seen just about every action bit you're going to see, except for the end. Add another hour for the jewish girl's european art movie homage, and another hour of long winded dialogue, and there's your movie.

I find it quite strange to find criticism of independent main stream directors like QT, Wes Anderson, Michel Gondry, all three are incredibly brilliant men with incredible sensibilities that represent the post modern approach to film making in all the best ways. To hear things like Jackie Brown sucks cock or Death Proof was whiny, or Kill Bill was too self indulgent, makes me wonder, 'What did you expect from QT?' The man delivers substantial elevated quality amongst individuals attempting to emulate him like his partners/common collaborators like Rodriguez and Eli Roth. Or those who are 'Post 94' indie influx like Guy Ritchie. Tarantino represents a voice of ridiculous obsession of cinema, one that was considered a 'saving grace' by everyone in 1994. 15 years later, QT has failed to become a go to studio director, nor a director for hire, or even a fast paced, multiple time film maker, trying to race time. What he is, is a self confident man, perhaps to a fault at times, and a man who takes his role as a filmmaker very seriously, while remaining detached enough from his projects on a deep and obvious emotional level, instead choosing his emotional demons to play out in a hyper kinetic, ultra stylized world, the essence of Leone's 'Cinema Cinema.' I for one, am an ardent supporter of QT. Death Proof's announcement initially got me upset that he had basically pushed aside his long term war movie, but seeing the 'preview' on ET, made me realize Tarantino knows that he is escaping into a genre piece that is so fully supported by our nation, that he could actually find his first genuine big hit since Pulp Fiction. If that happens, his ability to do a purely escapist film experience, like Grindhouse, would have been like a step backwards. While many seem eager to criticize QT's work, as perhaps a means to justify that they too could be better than he, the reality is that all of his films have been true classics, and have all represented as the best work accomplished by any film maker in their respective years. For reminder those films are:
Reservoir Dogs- The breakthrough film of 1992. Began Tarantino's rise. As a result, True Romance, Natural Born Killers, both QT scripts, sold and made.
Pulp Fiction- 8 Oscar nominations. Palm D'Or 1994. Biggest hit of his career. Relaunched Travolta. Launched the modern career of Sam Jackson. Introduced Uma Thurman to people who weren't watching Terry Gilliams films or who saw Dangerous Liasons. Won Oscar for the script.
Jackie Brown- 1 Oscar Nomination 1997, for Robert Forrester, whose career took off again, now he's on that shitty show Heroes. Berlin win for Sam Jackson. Multiple Top Ten lists. Considered by many critics to be Tarantino's most restrained, emotional film of his career.
Kill Bill Vol.1 and 2- Relaunched his own career. Multiple Top Ten Lists. $130 million domestic for both films. Reestablished Tarantino in the new millenium, and put aside any doubt that he could conquer a new genre: action. Endlessly parodied, probably more referenced than even Pulp Fiction.
Death Proof/ Grindhouse- Death Proof was a huge risk. And it failed at the box office. But the idea was generally well received by critics, and the true fans of QT were floored. He completely removed digital special effects and approached this as a pure stunt movie. All in camera, actual footage. May not sound like much, but in the world of film making, what he did actually cost less, and looks much better. And it gave a job to some of the greatest living stunt people in the game.
Now his war movie.
With Tarantino, the film is not the subject solely with each project. Instead the entire world and history of film making in general is included, and all of his films are directly aware of the allusions it takes. Film making should be just that: an open dialogue, presented amongst the history of cinema. Any other way seems lazy. And if there's nothing we can agree on otherwise, that QT is not a complacent filmmaker. At least he is engaging himself in his process, and forces us to engage in the project as well. That kind of layered approach to movie making is what makes QT seem so odd, but leads to his best strength: his love of movies. -

Oh my. I don't know what to think.

I'm bag on your shitlist? Does that mean I'm back on it? Was I ever off of it? Honestly, who can really tell when it comes to you? I'll gladly hunt Republican "scalps" with you any day, but I can't talk to you about movies anymore. It depresses me.
-
I've had perfectly civil conversations with you about films in the group. Don't give me any of that fucking shit. You know damn well I have a different relationship with the regulars in the Twitch TB's than I do with anyone else on this site. We disagree all the time, but it stays civil in there. You're the one that gets all flustered and takes off once someone's opinion clashes with yours. I've been cool with you for a long time-- now you come in here and cry about me because this film looks like dogshit? If thats how you wanna play it....fine.
-
So much for army standard.
-
I'd be fine if you brought a Twitch level of discourse to the rest of AICN, but you don't. Any other TB and you come in with guns blazing to proclaim that that project sucks or that the people involved suck. Why? For the sole purpose of provoking a reaction from TBer's and thus inflate your already swelled ego. It's just a game to you and it's become rather tiresome.
