INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Teaser Makes Scalping Nazis Look Awfully Appealing!!!
Beaks here...
I think Harry's going to have his set visit piece up in a few. Until then, here is your link to the most mainstream trailer you'll ever see for a Quentin Tarantino movie. Not to worry: this thing still looks like it's out of its fucking mind.
Nazi killin' is but a click away!!!
Love that ghoulish grin from Eli Roth. Don't know what to think about Samm Levine giving us a dead-eyed, "I just machine-gunned a truckload of Nazis" expression (farewell, Neal Schweiber). And that Hitler temper tantrum... I don't remember that from the script at all. I wonder if Tarantino did a little rewriting after that leaked-to-the-internet first draft. Indeed, I wonder...
INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS opens August 21, 2009. Do not take that as a no-confidence release date. The film will almost certainly be screening at the Cannes Film Festival this May.

Will own this!
-
ofcourse most will hate it. Fuck em, i'm down. Loved the trailer
-
I've seen the name numerous times but never looked further. This looks pretty damn awesome.
-
I think Pitt is miscast. They should've gone with an honest to god redneck. Some pug ugly dude with missing teeth and a voice that sounds like he eats glass for breakfast. Or at the very least someone older, like Bruce Willis, or Kurt Russell. Brad's just too darn purdy.
-
high five brohemian.
-
Could've left the Hitler part out of the trailer
-
But fan boy gotta fix up.
-
I think Pitt is miscast as well. Something just seems off about his character
-
but you missed your big chance:
inglourius basterds in glorious quicktime! -
I mean, really really weak. What is that accent? I'm usually all optimism, and I'm not a Quentin hater, but this just looks stupid.
-
Don't know why.
The teaser itself? Doesn't look too special. The good thing is that it doesn't feel like Tarantino. -
This shit isn't microwave cup noodles. You can't reach a fucking decision based off 1/200th of a film. for fucks sake. fuck.
-
This looks so fucking awsome!!
-
man, that looks cool! i hope we go to war and they bring back the draft and then i will get drafted and then go be cool! that would be so fun! are you kidding me with this stupidity? what's the point of this film at all? that's an honest question.
-
Holy frikin crap!!! I don't give a flying fuck at rolling donut if this IS a "mainstream" trailer or even a "mainstream Tarantino" flick (if there is such a thing) this movie will be amazing. THE END.
-
I feel all warm and fuzzy
-
My expectations for this are extremely lowered after the anal rape of Death Proof... I'm really hoping for a return to form, but Pitt's horrible delivery and Roth's "ghoulish" grin are going a long way toward smashing that hope... We'll see.
-
His facial expressions are so fake. Indicating. It's like he was told his expression is supposed to look like rather than have it organically stem from the character. But what do you expect when a director casts his boy toy rather than a real actor.
-
Well look, its not out of the question that the character works in the long-run. But its not as though Pitt simply did not connect in his two-minutes, that scene appears to be a formative one for his character. His accent, his cadence, everything misses the mark entirely. He might have been alright otherwise, but that accent is distracting and annoying. I will be there on opening night same as you, and everything else looks awesome, and I hope the movie rocks, but that accent is stupid, and not in a good way.
-
I was hgoping for something of a slightly different tone. The script was awesome. However, in my mind's eye, as I read the script, I pictured something different. I guess it "could" be good, but it just looks pretty bad. Damn!!!!
-
All the Basterds in that line up look the same. Same hair, same height. Like they all came from the same platoon from the same part of America. More diversity please, Quentin.
-
so wrong for this. nein nein nein indeed.

so... its a slasher flick... i thought it was a ww2 flick
by jimmyjoe redsky
-
this looks like it could be actually terrible
-
Oh dear... Anybody else have a funny feeling when adolf appeard????
-
To be honest dude the trailer is like 90% brad pitt talking. they really didn't show much. I would hold judgment till the real trailer.
-
Looks original and hilarious. Then again I'm not anti-Tarantino, which seems to be the talkback bandwagon these days. Sucks some of you can't just enjoy movies.
-
There all Jews, thats why there is no Diversity.
-
...not sure what the complaining is all about, it looks like a fucking great time at the movies to me. C'mon, Hitler throwing a hissy fit = my ass in the seat.
-
Love it. And as for Brad Pitt, he can do no wrong with me. I'm just glad it's not Tom Cruise in that roll. Although those blood stains with letters and the pumped up 'let's get those Nazi sumbitches' war rhetoric give me a '300' vibe.
-
fucking terrible. Wasn't expecting that.
-
EVERY character Quentin Tarantino writes talk the same. I could picture Bruce Willis or Sam Jackson in Pulp Fiction or David Carradine in Kill Bill giving the exact same speech as Brad Pitt's character. He has no idea how to write a character other than through his own voice. I will pass on this one.
-
Prepare for the fall out from the yids...
-
An illiterate hillbilly from the mountains of Tennessee, who puts together a team of eight Jewish-American soldiers. Then my friends we just witnessed the greatest piece of acting ever filmed.
-
it looks kinda stupid, but pretty fun. I mean I think Tarantino has lost his way in recent years and could do with trying to find his own filmic identity rather than making remarkably blatant homages to everybody (I mean, seriously dude) but I'll definately check this out.But after this QT...maybe time to try making your own damn films again? With all due respect and everything, cos they guy has made undisputed modern classics at least.
-
Are they kidding?
-
Yeah I felt the same way yesterday, but after watching the full teaser in HD 5 times I'm feeling pumped. And I that Eli smirk was awesome. Sorta nervous, sorta giddy because he knows he's going to mutilate some fuckers, and he's a sick fuck in real life. So his daddy forked him some cash and he made some shitty self-gratifying movies, fuck it. At least the dude has some passion for this film making.
-
i hope the nazis are watchmen nazis. i wanna see the nazis runnin around in the snow in their nazi thongs!!!!!!!!!
-
i like all QT's good efforts...including of course Kill Bill unless your taste is in your ass..(plent of that here i know)
but this looks worryingly limp like his Grindhouse effort was.
The dialogue to start off with is not impressive... -
Yeah, that guy would scare the shit out of me if I was a Nazi....Wonder when we'll see an Office/Basterds spoof?
-
Watch Reservoir Dogs trailer, or Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, even Kill Bill -- QT movies NEVER make good trailers, EVER...
BASTERDS looks a little rushed, color timing is NOT FINISHED, look, Brad Pitt ain't Lee Marvin, QT is LUCKY he can even make a movie with other people's money, I kind of wish he would go back to smart, crime films to be honest, that might be what he's best at, this is no SAVING PRIVATE RYAN, that's for sure...
Go back to crime QT, please...
otherwise, I bet BASTERDS will be fucking bloody as hell, and smart, and fun...
-
Fuck this, come watch the mecca of all film.
-
that looks cooler right?
-
TWO undisputed classic..those being Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Death Proof was a incredibly self indulgent step in the wrong direction
-
why can't i watch both?
-
ok first off the trailer rocked...and second Brad Pitt is perfect for the role...he has been lost in Brangalina media world for to long, he needs to get back to the wack job roles he used to take back when he made movies like Seven and 12 Monkeys.
-
Eli Roth gave up Hostal 3 for this???
-
Seriously folks...tick tock
-
All hail Jim Cameron!
-
tick tock
-
its coming up
-
hurry
-
Pitt feels really miscast. I thought the Inglorious basterds were supposed to be a group of crazed nazi killing animals. Guys so deranged that they scared as along with the nazis. that was brad pitt with a mustache and the kid from freaks and geeks. Please be good movie. i want you to be good.
-
came
-
finally
-
Send him home to his mother- his 15 minutes are up
-
I kind of think that's the idea...that the group is composed completely of unimposing, weak-looking Jewish guys...the Nazis won't exactly be expecting their horrible ends at their hands.
-
15 minutes? Try 15 years.
-
Fat Man and Little Boy from Sin City spring to mind whenever Pitt has any kind of intelligently written dialogue to deal with. I genuinely don't understand the love he gets from people on AICN - you should know better.
-
I talked about the trailer looking flat and colorless before Friday the 13th, but I think there must have been something up with the digital file because watching it in HD on the computer I don't have any of those issues. Either I'm going crazy (don't think so, a lot of other people were saying the trailer looked flat and visually uninteresting after watching it 2k) or something is different in the digital files. Either way I might owe Mr. Richardson an apology. You can argue Pitt all day if you want and talk about how much you hate Eli Roth till the cows come home, but I was wrong about the cinematography lacking. Hope it looks more like this online HD trailer and less than the digital 2k one, that's for sure...
-
No Thanx, I'll pass.
-
The only movies he's been convincing in are the Ocean's 11 movies. He's playing himself so it's hard to fuck up. Any role that requires an actor to move out of their comfort zone causes him to fall flat on his face. Too bad Quentin wanted him in this.
-
The final scene will have the bastards stopping Hitler's suicide, dressing him in a gimp outfit, and shipping him to America where he will spend his final days in the basement of a pawn shop.
-
Is this a comedy?? Pitt just came across as totally miscast, awful accent! This just looks like another step to far in the style over substance thing that QT does all too much.
-
Guess I'll wait and see if it actually is.
-
"I'M GOING TO RIP YOUR FUCKING NAZI HEAD OFF!"
-
I seriously doubt it. This movie is going to be fucking awesome. Gore, violence and vengeance. You're not going to see all of it in a sneak teaser. Personally, QT has not let me down. I was on the edge of my seat for the whole time that Zoe Bell was hanging onto the roof of that car. Sure he likes to get talky, but he can entertain. I can't wait to see this.
-
Looked more like a Coen Brothers flick.
-
I'm not overly excited about this film at the moment.
-
Then how in the world does he become an officer in the Army if he can't read? Eli Roth still looks horrible. His expressions are ridiculously fake and exaggerated. Looks like Tarantino is once again intent on making a "fake bad movie" rather than telling a good story with actors whose expressions are organic and unconscious rather than premeditated and unnatural. The original Bastards movie was so unwatchably bad I had to turn off the dvd... and I love WWII movies. I know this isn't a direct or total remake - Tarantino just steals parts verbatim like he always does - but for someone as talented as he is I wish he would give us something more than a movie that pretends to be an over the top piece of shit 70's B movie. I'll still see it opening weekend, of course. I'll be the first to admit I was wrong if it surprises me. Doubt it will, though.

I just creamed.

Quentin Tarantino!Apart from the people who have actually been in a War.
-
I wish I was so fucking brilliant as to know how good a movie is just by watching the TEASER trailer.
If I'm reading correctly, more people on this site like the Transformers trailer than this.
A few years back it was the contributors to this site that constantly let me down. Now it's the talkbackers. Morons, all. -
"And I want my scalps," is possibly one of the *worst* line readings I've ever heard.
And that's the blandest and least intimidating platoon of soldiers I've ever seen.
Seriously, this shit would have been better with Sandler, Stallone, Jackson, and some other *real* bastards. -
... my issue is with the direction this has taken - i was under the impression this was to be a "dirty dozen" type ww2 movie with QT trappings (memorable dialogue, violence etc) - this trailer paints it as a gory slasher movie disguised as a ww2 movie - id be lying if i said im not curious - but still, enough with the gore for gores sake - i shouldve seen this coming with the casting of eli "hostel" roth - the guy from "the office" looks creepy - in a good way
-
In all the years of seeing teasers, full trailers, hype spots etc... You can't, by now, at least feel the tone or direction that the movie will take?
-
like it or not, a films teaser is a good indication of what to expect - this looks like beautifully executed film, but that doesnt mean its the movie i thought it would be (been reading about it for a year) - the teaser does just that - it teases the audience with what they should expect - if it doesnt, then its not an honest teaser - judging from this teaser, i know what to expect - and its not what i was hoping for
-
... what in fuck are you fucking seeing?
Are you fucking getting fucked in your eyes sockets??...
Are you fucking blind or fucking what?...
Simply based on that trailer I'll be Fucking first in fucking line to get my fucking mind fucked by seeing fucking nazi's getting fucking fucked up by Quentin (fucking) Taran-fucking-tino!
Indeed... For Fucks sake! (As we Brits like to express) what the fucking hell more do you fucking well want?!!!
(Indeed) Fuck me.... -
That was just bad.
-
... for a small mind!
Hail the Inglorious Basterds!
Indeed hail the slaying of Nazi's Tarantino style!
And all hail Arrius! -
Hmmm. This trailer doesn't really set the pulse racing does it. As the camera pans down the line of 'basterds' I couldn't tell one apart from the next. Bunch of identikit soldiers with brylcreem hair. And I have to agree with JRB on Eli Roth - that smirk can't be considered 'acting', it actually makes me feel embarassed for the guy. Will only pay money to see this one if the reviews are v.positive.
-
Big fan of everything QT has done except for his lazy Death Proof.
Jackie Brown rules. -
let the bodies hit the flo-let the bodies hit the flo-let the bodies hit the FLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRR
-
Too bad Eli Roth annoys the shit out of me.
-
Oh haters of haters?
-
Quintus_Arrius fuck the fuck off you fucking plant. (If you're not a plant, apologies, but fuck off anyway).
-
There is no mission other than kill a bunch of guys in the most horrible ways possible. That is a very weak thing to string a plot on.
-

Tarantino had little time to be overly self-involved in that tra
by heckles
Kudos, mission accomplished. Something about seeing war through the eyes of Tarantino? Are you kidding? Head so far up his own ass. No desire to see this flick.
-
That looks fucking awesome and I can't wait to pay money to see it.
-
... can't do that 'player'... I fucking own you... Indeed, so will this motion picture...
Oh by the way, Been around here waaaaay too long to be a Pickity-Pickity-Plant!
Knob-Head! -
Seriously, that's Alan fucking Rickman right there!!
-
It looks fucking awesome.
-
It's really neither. The theme of this movie is propaganda.
semi-spoilers
The main character is a Jewish girl who runs a theater in Paris that is forced by the third riech to show a new "triumph of the will" type film. A lot centures around the need to show nazi propaganda in europe.
The Basterds aren't in europe to end the war themselves (though the situation may or may not come), they are there simply to scare the fuck out of nazis. They want stories to be told and rumors to spread of their massacres.
By the end of the film, you'll see this movie as propaganda.
-
This feels like something filmed by Paul WS Anderson. Apart from Pitt, he looks like he wandered in from a 'Scary Movie' type parody of Defiance.Oh, and I see the Hitler scene was directed by Mel Brooks.
-
Really starts to put me off from wanting to see his films. "You haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino."?? Just end it with "A QT FILM" for fuck's sake instead of shoving it in our faces how special and unique this will be bc its one of his children.

... I'm with you on this one... Looks like a lot of fun.
Hail Mike of D's -
and this is the story he came up with? Seriously? I thought that after all that time working on the script he might give us a great "mission" story like WHERE EAGLES DARE or DIRTY DOZEN. If it's just a slasher film then all the cool death scenes in the world will never make up for the missed opportunities. Sometimes Tarantino can be a big waste of talent. He should be making at least a film every two years. I'd understand the time off if he gave us epics or seriously meaningful films (like PULP FICTION). But he seems content to whack off and make fake B-movies. What a waste.
-
I have to agree with many others here - the cast doesn't give off the immediate vibe of a bunch of hard bastards. And from the dialogue I've read and the dialogue I've seen in the trailer for Aldo Raine...this should've been Bruce Willis. It's just note perfect for him. And I like Brad Pitt as an actor, so it's not just Brad Hate. Hmmm - I really don't know folks, this looks to be just a gore movie and as such I may find myself in the unusual position of NOT wanting to see a Tarantino film. First time for everything though, I suppose.
-
..."You haven't seen world war 2 until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino" Or Paul Verhoeven apparently, considering what a shitty version of Black Book this flick is. The full trailer does look bizarely flat considering hes using a a fucking genius cinematographer, but it actually looks pretty good (still hard to get excited having read the script and knowing whats actually in the film) but it's all completely and utterly fucking ruined by Brad Pitt. Jesus christ, I hope they can do some reshoots where they get him to actually act. That ending sting "I want my scalps" should kick ass, instead of being cringe worthy. Then again, this a guy who got nominated for an oscar for playing a character as a Forrest Gump like retard, despite their being no actual mention of said character being retarded anywhere in the story.
-
The trailer had a Dirty Dozen/Devils brigade feel to it.

"You can't reach a fucking decision based off 1/200th of a film.
by whinynegativebitch
Yes you fucking can. Especially when said 1/200th contains the bulk of Pitts performance.
-
it's not a slasher film nor is it a dirty dozen film.

...Dressing up as civilians in an occupied country and commiting violent war crimes to genereate fear and terror amongst the occupiers and their people back home. No one putting together the marketing thought that was a little on the nose?
-
so i'm in. as others stated above, this film has taken a totally different direction from what i originally thought it was going for... though i don't necessarily consider that to be a bad thing. if anything, my interest has piqued.
-
I think Tarantinos films are fine, but...
This just reeks of that POS "300".
I have no interest..... -
The point is the Bastered (aside from pretty boy Pitt obviously placed there for his all-round appeal) all look like your average (Jewish) Joe Blogsstien's... just that it's average Joe's capable of doing grimy things to unpleasant Nazi's... see???...
-
What? The first fucking Kill Bill trailer is fucking amazing. Like it literally was cooler than the fucking film. Its one of the best trailers I've seen.
-
I don't give a fuck about his personal life and what kind of films he should do. He should stay the fuck away from good films. He keeps fucking them up. It's not good casting because a superstar deigns to take up a role in your film, its a shitty economic compromise. Seriously, a grizzled, hard as fucking nails souther hillbilly psycho? It was hard to picture Pitt as that, and its clear why from the trailer...Because he can't fucking do it. People seem to be confused here. Brad Pitt is a shitty actor. He has the range and ability of Ashton Kutchner, the difference being Ashton Kutchner is an obnoxious moron, whereas Pitt has great taste in movies and collaborators. That still doesn't mean he can act worth shit. Get him playing goofy jocks or stoners, and all is good. Shit, even goofy irishmen are in his range (as long as he gets to make up his own accent), but anything but goofy and affable and your lucky if he can just carry it without fucking it up.
-
they realize that it's not really about the basterds at all but a wannabe godardian cinema paradiso ripoff about a girl showing movies to nazis in an old movie theater. and we thought we were gonna get ennio morricone but we got generic rap rock bullshit?
-
I have loved all of QT's feature films thus far, and I hope I am proven wrong....but this is a terrible trailer. Looks bush-league, unfunny, unhip and rushed. Also, Brad Pitt's line delivery is painfully BAD.
-
until you've seen it through the eyes of a guy who's watched a lot of war movies!
-
If your going in expecting Gore, vengeance and violence, then be prepared to be let down. Drebin - if you CANT tell the tone or proposed quality of movie from a trailer, I'm afraid its you whose the fucking moron. Why do you think the studios make and release the fucking things. To give you a taste of what you're going to get. That combined with just about everyone having read the script gives you a fair indication as to the quality of the movie. Also, people keep talking about the weak platoon, or men on a mission flicks...It's not. *kind of spoilerish material* - It's fucking Cinema Paradisio meets Black Book. The Basterds are a seperate story that just sort of slows things down until they show up at the end.

FUCK DOOK! GO HEELS!

I keep saying it, love where Tarantino is coming from BUT...
by drturing
He's becoming, or has already become, very very out of style. The whole video store film school education shtick, recycling and sampling 100s of superior foreign films just doesn't mean the same thing with Netflix and youtube around. And the world is getting tired of jaded irony given we've got two actual wars to fight in, and are facing the next Great Depression. Watching 3 hours of utter bullshit no matter how audacious or goofy just doesn't fit our times when it invokes the great war. When I read the part in the script where someone makes a pop culture reference to Winnetou novels I groaned - people in the 40s did not sit around tables all day riffing on pop culture. They tried to find rations or worked in factories making shells or died or went to the front lines.
I even get what he's trying to do - say that the mannerist, camp, kitsch element of propaganda was about to be destroyed forever by the New Wave with its handheld cameras and 24 frames of truth a second... But the fact of the matter is no matter how hilarious the ending reads on paper, it just isn't all that funny when you think about the Rape of Nanking, Berlin, and the Holocaust, or the firebombing of Dresden. -
I believe his first words in the script are "NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN! NEIN!"
-
Mr Pitt looks fucking woeful in that trailer. WOEFUL. I can forgive the man a hell of a lot after Fight Club but he is a movie star and not an actor.If the role demands any of the following he can cut the mustard: a.) look good; b.)act vacant; c.)combine looking good with goofy/kooky/batshit-crazy vacancy. And that is it. People (mostly women and guys with man crush issues) pay to see him decorate a screen, not fill it. He can't fill a screen because that requires talent and looking good is many things but it doesn't require talent.And I don't give a shit when he makes daisy-chain wankathons with George and Matt, nor when he piles on the bronzer and muscles for Troy because he is made for those sort of event movies - hell, he is great in them. Anything that requires not being Brad Pitt is just a script too far. He finally lives up to his cockney rhyming slang moniker.
-
It's great. And hilarious. And violent as fuck. And Tarantino knows how to cast a movie. My only worry is that they rushed it. Other than that, the script is incredibly ambitious and this trailer (which was obviously not put together by Tarantino) is comprised of half a page of dialogue from a 150-page screenplay.
-
it looks cheesy as hell (Pitt in particular), but quentins the master of cheese. im pretty pumped for it after watching the trailer a couple times. you just gotta remember that its supposed to be fun, not serious. highlighted by hitler in the cape at the end, screaming "nein! nein!" that part was pretty funny
-
Never mind.
-
"you just gotta remember that its supposed to be fun, not serious." Except for the two thirds of the script which play it almost straight.
-
say goodbye to any box office quentin. It really was not remarkable, though potential exists.
-
Between that recent Daniel Craig flick and this, it seems like we have a sudden need to go back and beat the Nazis again, except this time without any dignity.My theory is that we're so much in denial about being the biggest war offender in the world right now that we're scrambling back to the last time we actually fought a war with something resembling a pure motive.My take: whether the movie's main plot or just a subplot involves this "let's savagely mutilate and kill Nazis", it's lame in every sense. It just highlights how much the enemy has become us.
-
on Halloween?
-
Or is it going to dilute my experience at Quentin's home theater?
-
was the script retooled so it was more about the basterds and their mission, or does shoshanna's story dominate?
-
today in total film, about how americans love the unfair fight:
http://www.totalfilm.com/features/exclusive-why-alan-moore-hates-comic-book-movies/page:4
-
that's a fucking retarded moral. "the enemy" has become us? go back to writing hallmark cards, faggot.
-
really?
-
...In this case they are right. You got Brad and his merry band of Israelis on a Jihad against Aryan occupiers. Thats why I thought the marketing was a bit weird. "There are no crimes behind enemy lines". Thats funny, because all we ever hear are how evil these non rule playing by Muslim extremists are.
Not that it matters when you are watching Amelie with guns anyway. -
It's just that I have and I think it's great. Honestly, this trailer is (at most) two paragraphs of Pitt's first monologue. There's about 10 other main characters in this movie besides Pitt's.
-
Nazis are like vampires and zombies and terrorists. You can kill them with no guilt because they're vile to begin with.
-
...They are advertising it as a men on a mission movie, whe its actually about a jewish girl on a revenge mission. Hence the slim pickings for a cool trailer focusing on the basterds. Thats also a problem with the script. Its massively long, but most of the basterds stuff has no bearing on the story, and could be cut. But then you are left with a lousy cut rate Black Book wannabe. So...What are you to do?
-
"Ya'll pussies make sick." Coming from a man who admits to enjoying a film based on what hes told to enjoy, because hes unable to form opinions of his own, thats kind of strange.
-
Did "Death Proof" make it's money back?
-
Man, I want, want, want to like this. I've been looking forward to this since the rumors started circulating. And... I feel like this teaser is selling me features I don't care about. The stuff I love about Tarantino's films isn't what's on display here. Makes me a little angry, actually.
-
Yeah man, robby rodriguez is bringing the beer this time. actually no, im full of shit. i have no relation whatsoever to quentin.
-
Now Early Grayce was a psycho hillbilly to be proud of.
-
Please be "Kill Bill"."Don't be "Death Proof".Please be "Kill Bill"."Don't be "Death Proof".Please be "Kill Bill"."Don't be "Death Proof".Please be "Kill Bill"."Don't be "Death Proof".Please be "Kill Bill"."Don't be "Death Proof".
-
Forgot about that movie! One of Pitt's best performances in my opinion.
-
I can't wait!!!
-
This looks bang up to date to me. I can just picture Big W Bush giving the same speech to the war cabinet in the good ol USA. obviously not about the nazis though i let you use your imagination to whom i am referring. Glorification of war ???? looks like a social commentary to me. Pitt is in it to appease the studio after DP. But you have to had it to the TMAN he got him.

QT is still on his "grindhouse, hostel, b-movie" high
by jimmyjoe redsky
-
Looks pretty sweet. Pitt does tongue in cheek better than he does drama, and I like his take on the squad leader. I also like the rag-tag look of the squad, I've always maintained casting Stallone, Arnold and other schlocbuster veterans would ruin the idea, I'd rather see a bunch of misfits than mugging super-ego'd tough guys. Of course, we didn't see Mike Myers in the preview, and I DESPISE Mike Myers, so any sign of him may well run my excite-o-meter into the negative.
-
Really?
REALLY? -
Where was the fun? Seriously, that did NOT look like a Tarantino film. It could be great, it really could, especially if the gore is over-the-top. But really? Seriously? Come on. Will I be there opening day? Yes.
-
for a distinct shift of genre. He really needs to start doing comedies.
The only way that accent would be acceptable for Pitt in a movie is if he co-starred in a Will Ferrel movie about two Kentucky veterinarian brothers who get caught in an international arms-smuggling scheme when they go to Iraq to stop a plague killing all the county's goats. -
A hack "director" fancies himself an actor. Guess this gig is a break from Roth's recurrent role as QT's French maid.

Imagine Janeane Garofillo (sp?) as a basteredess....Scene opens with a nazi officer is tied to a chair, about to be tortured by her character:"So, you're some big wig Nazi guy, huh? You think you're tough? Do you know how hard it is being Jewish and a woman this day and age? I haven't been able to by any tampons for over year, I'm on my period, these cramps are killing me, and I have to clean up whatever I just sat on or it looks like a scene from an Eli Roth movie." etc, etc.
-
Mel Brooks. For real.
-
in a box. reeks of desperation. hey kids remember the 90s? when there was a guy named QT who made good movies? i miss the 90s
-
I wanted a kick ass balls to the wall grenade biting 70s throwback machismo war flick... Not an Eli Roth torture porn flick that demonizes Hitler by putting him in a fruity cape.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, but this look's like Q's first misstep. -
Seemed like total comedy that bit. And I like Brad Pitt but he was fucking awful in this trailer.
-
The way he poses for the camera, and his execution reminds alot of Fight Club. This doesnt give me a feel that i need to see this or want to.
-
Yeah I agree. I think Eli Roth is cool, and I like Tarantino, a lot. I think he's an absolutely brilliant director. Just... that accent.
-
He does comedy better and would film a war movie much better.
-
am so fucking ready for this
-
I'm a LITTLE PRINCESS, lets wear a cape!!! Baby's face gets red when is is scared...
-
Which is not a good sign, although that was an incredibly underrated gem by Jerry Lewis. All in all, looks neat, but I'm VERY curious about the musical selection this time. Do they smoke 1940s Red Apples?
-
But that trailer didn't do anything for me. I didn't like the initial trailers for Kill Bill either though, so maybe the actual film will still win me over.
-
"And folks, stick around for bloopers in rhis picture's final credit crawl!"
-
Whoever cut that trailer needs to be fired.
-
It smacks of send up. It also smacks of awful. Oh dear.
-
Based on the script that I read. Unless it's changed a lot, people are gonna be disappointed--there's very little of the action alluded to in the trailer. Be warned.
-
You guys are such a drag. this used to be a place where i could share my love of film with people. but everyone hates everything now. well THIS MOVIE WILL KICK YOU ALL IN YOUR BOGGED OUT VAGINAS. you little cock magnets
-
That's too bad. It looks awesome.
-
You'll never hear more bitching and moaning over 30 second clip of a movie then at an AICN talkback. The guy gives us one shit movie out of many classics and everyones quick to jump on the hate wagon.
Well I feel sorry for you fuckers, because as little of the movie as that showed, it still looks pretty fucking cool. And I'd still rather see a new Quentin film then 99% of the other tripe Hollywood puts out. You kids can have your Transformers, I'll gladly watch this. -
I love Pitt as an actor but his delivery seems way off here. And why does every Tarantino movie have to be some crazy, referential, wink to the camera, shit now? Whatever happened to serious, meaningful emotional content?
As much as I like Kill Bill it started him off on this path where nothing can be taken very seriously anymore. Use your considerable talent to write something that means something again. Please. -

Why does Eli Roth get a pass for making shit movies? Why is Sam
by jor-el23
I love Tarantino and all but sometimes...well sometimes I just don't get it. Sometimes he's too clever, sometimes he's trying too hard to be iconoclastic. I like the casting of Pitt though, I don't get why people don't like him. All Eli Roth done is make shitty horror porn movies and because he's friends with Tarantino he gets a pass? Meanwhile Sam Jackson is the narrator and I love that guy but he just seems all wrong as the narrator of this movie, or any movie, because he's such a ham
-
looks pretty kick-ass now. I thought it was going to be some stupid, bloody, over-the-top-violence-for-humor-sake type movie (ala kill bill) but this looks pretty decent. I agree with Hilarious Wacky Username, though. Pitt's delivery does seem a bit forced. But then again, it's a teaser. They may re-film this scene to get it just right.
-
Thanks for shitting on Eli Roth. Everyone seems to wipe his ass like he shits gold. He sucks. Bad. And I'm glad others realize it.
-
How the hell is Tarantino going to shoehorn Al Green into the soundtrack...???
-
Like, Keanu Reeves bad. Seriously. I didn't buy him for one second in that trailer.
-
smells like it too...
-
who by the way should be banned from consulting further military films.
-
makes a nod to it. shhhh...noone will ever know.
-
is this another Happyness?
-
Seems like he's looking for his paycheck during this monologue. I KNOW he can put some fire and spit into a role (see his recent, excellent Jesse James), but instead the Pitt man looks like he's the guest host leading a half-assed SNL skit. Where's the fucking passion, Brad? Shit, where's Bale when you need him?
-
I do very much like most of QT's films. A couple (e.g., PULP FICTION and KILL BILL v1) are classics imo. His films are either sink or soar (and often do both at different points).But, yeah... Pitt's lackluster effort makes this teaser seem way off.
-
In the great Bob Dylan documentary "No Direction Home," Dylan talks about how he always looks at himself as being in a constant process of discovery and becoming. He goes on to speak about how the moment an artist feels he has found a niche, his art is dead. This is Tarantino's problem. He has found a place where he is comfortable and he is unwilling to go beyond it or deviate from it. This "Basterd's" preview feels stale, rehashed, over the top and somewhat pointless. Tarantino's art is dead because he refuses to attempt to go beyond what made him a sensation in the first place. At a time when he should have been honing his craft, he was indulging his celebrity and trying to act. He has stated in interviews that he wants to make ten films and then quit. He appears to be a filmmaker who is terrified of trying to come up with a second act. "Death Proof" was nothing more than a party Quentin threw with is celebrity pals and then filmed. This movie looks to be more of the same.

That part's got Shia written all over it.

SHAME ON ANY AICN WRITERS THAT CLAIM THIS LOOKS GOOD.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
If you're a QT fan okay....whatever. Defend his previous films all you want. But to try and claim this trailer is well crafted or to pretend for one minute that Pitt's acting looks anything less than horrid-- FUCK YOU. Enough is enough. I'm sick to death of this fucking site showing handfuls of shit down the reader's throats to shill for their so-called friends. No matter how fucking pathetic the film looks, this site will continue to plug it. Fuck this. Quint.....I know you're better than this.

Tarantino gets laughs, anger and leaving audiences in cannes
by quintana007
You can bet on that. Get my post up in may and we talk
-
I'm surprised no one mentioned this yet.
-
Yikes that was not good. C'mon Sly turn in a men on a mission masterpiece because this looks like it will miss the mark by a mile.
-
If Tarantino truly is the genius that so many on this talkback think he is (and I USED to think he was) then he would GROW as an artist. But he plays it safe (gutless) and makes the same homage time after time. Tarantino-esque has become a pejorative label, alas.
-
On being mentioned on the Pineapple Express commentary, apparently you are famous for pissing people off (and maybe 12 years old).
-
And it was awful.I'm a die hard qt fan so i'll see this.i thought pitt's accent would sound like early from kalifornia he sounds more like ben button.but after meeting many holocaust survivors in jr.high when they'd come to speak with us I'm all about nazi ass kickin
-
with the evil Nazis. I don't suppose they'll politely ask for people to show their NSDAP membership cards before dismembering them. 'cos anyone in a Wehrmacht uniform MUST be evil, right? This is so played out. Make a movie about collecting derivatives traders' scalps. That would be marginally more interesting.
-
Not as action packed as the trailer shows - but still plenty of QT violence. Mostly about the Jewish girl the trailer shows running across the field. Am definitely psyched to see it, but just know that it's not an epic war movie, or another Dirty Dozen - it's a QT film.
-
this will not bomb. mark my words.
-
was about a ragtag group of guys with tons of character that killed alot of nazis for a good chunk of the film. And was perfectly cast and done very well. I liked the trailer but I dont understand what QT is trying to say here other than grindhouse kill bill style violence and that its funny. Im ready to love this flick as QTs next step, but I dont want a kill bill part 3. Also, I worried BJ Novak, who has ONLY been seen on the office, will just be Ryan the temp a-hole in WW2. Now he is funny, im nervous that he wont just be snarky comic filler. (that said, Jim from the office had a short scene in Jarhead in which he was quite good)
-
Completely wrong for this role. Wrong, wrong, wrong.
-
Did I spy B.J. Novak in that lineup of Nazi nullifiers?

My condolences The Dum Guy.......I'm sorry you had to sit throug
by dannyglovers_dickblood
-
One, this is just a trailer so conclusions on the film cannot be drawn at this point. Two, let me say that I am a fan of both Tarantino and Pitt and plan on seeing this movie. But... that trailer did not do it for me at all. At all. There was a part of me that (still) expected to see Sly, Arnold, Bruce, Eddie, etc. during that camera crawl across the faces of the basterds. Again, it's just a trailer but my enthusiasm for the movie went down big time. I really hope it's good and I really hope it doesn't bomb in the theaters (although Pitt and Tarantino are usually big draw names) like Grindhouse, which I actually liked. We'll see. The next trailer better bring it because this one left a lot to be desired in my view. Here's hoping for the best...
-
"And I want my scalps." - will become an oft quoted line from this flick...whether it's good or not. I can hear it now.
-
This site is going to "plug" this movie because it's a Tarantino flick. Do people really think there is an ulterior motive here?! Is AICN the only one linking to this trailer?! Nope, didn't think so.Look, I really don't care if you like the guy's films or not. But the reality is that his films generate significant cinematic interest. Whether or not his work is on a downswing vs. upswing is another matter.
-
*gives you the crook eye*
-
Definitely over the top, as always. QT make films for film lovers - and doesn't give a frick about anyone else. I'll go see this for pure entertainment purposes only.
-
I also thought that trailer did nothing to boost my interest. Pitt DID seem to be overselling. Roth DID seem to be overselling, as well. That trailer was NOT effective because I've been on the fence about seeing the film and it didn't do anything to convince me to change my mind.
-
FUCK DOOK... oh, and hitler, too... i guess.
-
But fuck that nu-metal shit song playing during it. I first watched this at work with the sound off, and couldn't wait to come home to watch it with the sound. Wish I hadn't!
-
And other faggots coming to an AICN to complain that people don't love every fucking thing shoved down their throat, why don't you fuck off to Empire magazine or Entertainment Weekly. They would be more your speed. Fucking sheeple retards. Kabukiman and other lovers, please understand that just because a film is filed under the Tarantino brand doesn't automatically make it the next fucking coming. Don't expect to me to give something an automatic pass or pretend to enjoy a pile of steaming shit just because of the credentials of the director. It's not my fault you form opinions based on the personality of the people creating it, rather than the quality of the work. "Me? I think it looks like a blast! I'm there!" Who the fuck actually talks like that? Are you Dennis the fucking Menace? THE KNIGHT...How loosely are you defining the term bomb? Terrible reviews and shitty box office? Because thats whats coming for this flick. "I Want My Scalps" Should be like Get Off My Lawn or other trailer catch phrases. And it might be, but not in the way they intended. More in the way "ITS FUCKING DISTRACTING! OOH GOOD!" is. As a joke. As short hand for fucking abysmal acting and pathetic attempts at coming up with a clever catch phrase. "Look, I really don't care if you like the guy's films or not. But the reality is that his films generate significant cinematic interest." Funny, I could have sworn the three seperate relases of Grindhouse generated pretty much zero interest.
-
I'll go with when Beatrix Kiddo dug her way out of the grave in KILL BILL, VOL. 2.
The Ovaltine secret decoder ring in CHRISTMAS STORY has nothing on that epic moment of disillusionment... -
Yes he does. One person trashes his performance and you're like lemmings off a cliff.
-
Anyone who uses the word 'sheeple' is dead to me. Not that you were ever really alive to me.
-
Cunt.
-
What could have been a great and iconic line is instead delivered like a middle school drama student who didn't do his homework.
-
Damn straight, Vaudeville! Singler should have been ejected for throwing that 'bo!
-
If he delivered it like Christian Bale after a 12-round session with White Vader.
-
Tarantino is such a waste of talent. True Romance/Pulp Fiction/Jackie Brown = good; the rest = crapola.
-
I mean, seriously. How long can this movie's premise go? I think Quentin is awesome and I look forward to his work. But this? I. Don't. Think. So. It looks um, ridiculous? Perhaps it'll surprise me, and by that, I mean, perhaps it'll be good. Judging from this teaser though (which is fair to say, since that's the purpose of these teasers/trailers to begin with) - it looks like it might be a disappointing blip in Quentin's filmography. *shrugs*
-
Brad Pitt is gonna get his first Razzie for this. Even though he deserved it for mixing up Jack and Forrest Gump this year.
-
go watch The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford and SHUT THE FUCK UP
that being said, I don't know how I feel about what I saw of him in the trailer, leaning towards not good but definitely have to see more -
Nah, I hadn't read any of the TB comments before I realized that Pitt's delivery was weak and utterly passionless. And I don't think he's miscast or doesn't have the chops for the role. I think--based on that tiny excerpt--that he's looking for his paycheck. Hell, "Kalifornia" as well as his take on Jesse James recently proves the man can act.BTW, I've read your recent BSG posts with interest. And I (mostly) agree with your arguments regarding Adama/Roslin vs. Zareck/Gaeta. Well done.
-
I really don't have a problem with Pitt, but the rest of the cast. An early poster said he's never seen a more less intimidating platoon of soldiers. That's an understandment, I mean when you have the wannabe Japanese kid from Not Another Teen Moive running down with a machine gun two sizes bigger then him, it just looks ridiculous. When you're calling the movie Inglorious Bastards. I figured you'd have some actors that look like tough bastards, not Geek Squad. Pitt's choice seems like utter brillance compared to to these guys.
-
that dude who said ten hut looks just like im.
-
When he Imagines himself saving his family from Black Bart with his BB gun. The draw/twang sounds exactly the fucking same.. Aldo "And I want my scalps".. That's why it sounds so fucking horrid. We know that voice all too well.

Holy mother of fuck. That looked even worse than feared.
by motoko kusanagi
My goodness, another "nazi=german" flick? Wow. How unbiased. And not narrow-minded. Honestly, I'm sick and fucking tired of this one-dimensional bullshit movies. Fuck off, Tarantino. Really. This is 2009, you fucking jerk.
-
If its between this piece of shit and Avatar.....uhhhh yeah-- bring on the fucking cat people.
-
as side story, then I will collect fucking scalps.
-
shot in black and white, French New Wave style, as specified in the script? Because that's going to be a lot of fun.
-
..Until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino." Because you know Quentin has a lot of combat experience.
What a fucking arrogant, pompous line. I know it is marketing who thought of this, but I can't imagine that QT didn't ok it. -
maybe a brief battle or two. And some seriously retarded, revisionist fantasy-based history going on, too.
-
...is that it views War as just a plot device, something that only happens in movies. Sorry QT, but there is a real thing called war, and some people have fought and died in it. Hell some people are fighting and dying in a couple right now.
I don't care that you made an action-adventure movie with WWII as a backdrop. What I care about is how they seem to treat the entire thing as if it was waged just for our amusement, so that 60+ years after it ended we could make cool movies about it without regard to what really happened or to what people really had to endure during it.
C'mon Quentin, grow the fuck up. -
That line bothered me too.
-
Yeah, I saw Jesse James. I'm just glad that charisma blackhole didn't detract too much from the sterling cast propping him up.
-
"...Until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino."
"My name is the Rev. Martin Luther King. And we've been sittin' on the back of the bus for too long. So know we are gonna take that bus and ram it up ol' Whitey's big ass!"
"Each and every marcher owes me 100 cracker scalps! And I want my scalps!"
-
talentless prick....
This is what you get when a nerd makes movies for nerds....male wish fullfilment flicks...sad bunch a fucks -
..am i the only one who thinks this looks stupid ? Yeah..guess so...this is a Tarantino-slave site, i forgot.
-
There I said it... (actually he's overdue, can you believe he's only been nom'd twice and that he wasn't for Se7en or Fight Club?). I respect the guy... Tarantino should make Ocean's 14, by the way... just imagine that cast in the hands of Quentin. Plus, dare I suggest Jean-Claude van Damme as the new adition replacing the late Bernie Mac? And Travolta as villain?
-
Wilting flower with slide whistle sound effect.
-
I fuckin´ love that trailer.
-
but this looks seriously underwhelming.
-
This is what you get when frustrated nerds can´t even make movies for nerds.
-
its about time Tarantino grew up a bit a film maker isn't it? It looks like he's actually devolving.
I'll still be there opening night though, cos at least his films are always interesting. -
I dont get the hate.
-
Not the Basterds, the TBers. Jesus, Continentaloop, how can you be so fucking high and mighty about a kill-Nazis WW2 flick? It seems to me to be the perfect corrective to that Oscar blowjob known as "The Reader" or "Illiterate Nazi pedophiles are people, too." It's time to kill Nazis, not make'em books on tape! And Eli Roth and BJ Novak both look genuinely deserved in this trailer, which is how things should be! And Brad Pitt appears to be pretty damn Sgt. Rock cool in the role of Aldo Raine. Geez. This isn't a serious war picture like Sam Peckinpah's "Cross of Iron"(where do you think the Steiner comes from?). This is old- school Lee Marvin kick-all-Nazi motherfuckers filmmaking. I say, bring it the fuck on!
-
That's disturbed, not "deserved". Fuck the typo.
-
this looks alright. It doesn't show much. The Hitler part looked somewhat comedic, don't know if that was the intended effect. I'm going to see it.
-
Read the talkback before you post. Its 80 per cent who don't like the trailer and 20 per cent who can't see the trailer for all the Tarantino cock in their face. cifra, I can't believe he's been nominated at all. Especially since his crowning achievement is 5 minutes of playing stoned in True Romance. " This is old- school Lee Marvin kick-all-Nazi motherfuckers filmmaking. I say, bring it the fuck on!" Plant or blind moron. Simple. I'm wondering if Eli Roth looks fucking awful in this, or if its just distracting because I'd be in the .1 per cent of the cinema audience who knows its Eli Roth.
-
Yessa, Massah Quentin, meesah love duh new kikes-kill-crackahs moovey. Weesah work hard fo you, massah. "DEATH PROOF" was wonderful, massah.
-
And I take history seriously.
Plus I think there is a difference between having Lee Marvin kill the commanding Nazi officers (and their women, which is regrettable collateral damage), versus intentionally torturing, mutilating and using Nazi tactics against them.
"Using the enemies tactics against them" just seems to be a juvenile excuse for a filmmaker to have the heroes do really bad stuff without facing any moral consequences for it. It is like, "Thank god the Nazi's torture because I am a sadistic asshole and now I get an excuse to torture and inflict pain. Yahoo!)
I don't believe there is any moral relativism between us and the Nazis, and one of the reason why is because we never acted like fuckin' Nazis! -
please stop fixing your typos in a new message, fuck, no one gives a flying fuck that your ego is too big to let it slide. Give me the 2 seconds of my fucking life back times a thousand times I've read your pointless corrections you fucks.
-
...is because I used to be in the Army. Despite QT's intentions, films like this is just bad PR for guys over seas. I am not saying you can't be realistic and show some of the stupid or bad shit American soldiers have done (I am not asking for propaganda) but when foreigners see shit like this they just assume that is how the U.S. military really acts. They see us as a bunch of jackboot thugs. So I am a little overly protective of the Army's image.
-
I really wanted to be on the bus for this one, but the trailer's just given me doubts. It was that line 'You haven't seen war until you've seen it through the eyes of Quentin Tarantino' or whatever it was. For some reason, that's really stuck in my craw. It seemed totally arrogant (which Tarantino is, I sense) and utterly disrespectful. Don't get me wrong, I'm not someone who really cares to understand the average Nazi's motivations - my grandad won the military medal at Arnhem and was part of the force that liberated Belsen - I couldn't give a shit about those evil bastards. But I think what I object to is the 'coolification' of war. 'Yeah, all those other war movies were shit, THIS is where it's at! Wooo!!' Sorry, but fuck that. My grandad never spoke about Belsen, we only found out he was there when we acquired his military record after he died a few years ago. If Tarantino plays this for cool, zany laughs, then I'm gonna have to say, fuck this film. Didn't expect to have that reaction, but there you go. Stick the knives in, I don't care.
-
Pass
-
Pretty juvenile and implausible set-up, more crass 'comic book' exploitation than anything else. Initially hoped this was going to shape up into a gritty WWII actioneer rooted in some semblance of Historic credibility.
-
The "Basterds" really can be left out the movie completely and it wouldn't matter one bit. A matter of fact...the movie isn't even ABOUT them. If anyone else made this movie...trust me...no one would give a shit.
-
I'm not entirely convinced. It definitely did not leave me thinking that looks brilliant. I'm not entirely sold on Brad's schtick in this either. I'll keep on open mind
-
this looks cheap, not even nearly good and the hitler is embarrassing...everything in here looks stupid also pitt!
i see a lot of prizes for this movie, but RAZZIES!:)
i thought he will make an artistic war flick...thats why he skipped the bad ass action heros of the 80`s and this is what he made!
it looks silly...stupid!
quentin should a stick 2 his old plan with sly, willis, arnold etc!
its good that we will have our bad ass war flick soon..
SLY IS THE MAN!
quentin a a puss! -
It looks like the sixth or seventh movie in a tired, run-down, only-by-the-numbers-now series. Damn, I hope the movie will be a lot better than this teaser is.
-
this is going 2 be a bomb and will get a lot of razzies i promise you that!
everything in this movie looks cheap, silly, dumb and i already have seen enough of roth, schweiger and pitt...bad bad acting!
thx god sly is back...EXPANDABLES WILL RULE SOON! -
What is it with you guys at AICN and QT. I think Beaks and Harry should just come out of the closet already for QT. Gotta get those set visits in huh guys?
-
if everyone who works for aicn put their mouths out of quentins ass they would realize this movie stinks!
everything in here looks like not even a B movie, it looks like a tv movie!
this is full of bad acting, cheap,embarassing silly!
Plus i`ve seen allready enough of pitt, roth and schweiger this movie WILL GET A LOT OF RAZZIES in 2010...i`ll bet and it will bomb giga! -
The first BOOK OF BALE...
And lo on the 5000th post the Old Testament Of Bale did end.
Upon that cold February day the professional disciples of Bale did rip their calendars from the walls and did proceed to burn them in a great pyre.
For that time, that blessed time, would forever be known as BB (Before Bale) and that time which followed would thereafter be known as AB (After Bale).
When the professional disciples of Bale did inform the non-believers, communicating through the holy medium of talkback, there were some who would not listen. They would not post at 1000. They would not post at 2000, and still they would not post at 5000. They denied Bale thrice over. They were blind to Bale and worshipped the false idol of Yoko's Cool Cuts.
It was then that Bale sent his rage upon them so that all fuckin amateurs might see his power. He tore from the non-believers a new asshole so that all would be marked, and his professional brethren did delight in the shit storm that followed.
Here ends the first BOOK OF BALE. (Get thee to the Terminator talkback and post three times if ye would repent).
-
that this is going to be shit. Hitler looks like he's out of the Producers. Tarantino's tongue in cheek / over the top / pulp violence may be fun and interesting when applied to a bunch of gangsters and add-ons in California. It is not going to be amusing when applied to WW2. Pile of shite, here we come.
-
HYPOCRITES !!!! THIS LOOK LIKE SHIT AND IT WILL BE SHIT. TARANTINO IS OVER.
-
you moan and moan and rip the shit out of peoples work every fuckin day till its out, and then you'll be cumming all over it for a few weeks, then you'll go back to hating it again, cos hating things is cool. heres an idea, if you hate everything people create, why not do some creating yourselves? sitting on your pc trying your hardest to insult everyone who tries to do something a bit different in their film career is a sorry way to spend your life.

Btw, Tarantino ALWAYS Made Grindhouse-y Exploitation Films
by laserpants
ALL of his movies fall loosely under that banner, with varying degrees of gore. Jackie Brown was the least exploitative, but it still was strongly informed by blaxploitation. So all of this, "I liked QT better when he did blah, blah, blah" is bullshit. He ALWAYS made films like this. You just didn't realize what they were until he told you.
-
This looks cool. And I'm cool, too.

Singing Hitlers to the left, dancing Hitlers to the right!
by rickey henderson
Damnit, Tarantino found Rickey's Wolfenstein 3D fan script! Seriously though, is it too soon to conclude that ol' Quentin is running on empty these days? "Death Proof" was a trifle at best. Adjust your expectations of "Inglourious Basterds" accordingly.

If you hate the way we moan and groan, why not try doing some moaning and groaning yourself. Oh wait...Okay, try moaning about the FILM this talkback is for, instead of moaning about the talkback. You're putting the cart before the horse. Laser Pants - " He ALWAYS made films like this. You just didn't realize what they were until he told you." He didn't need to tell us. People (jesus, even the Mike White) were moaning about Quentins plagarism since Res Dogs. The difference was Reservoir and Pulp were good movies. Its been a long ass time since 1994 waiting for a follow up.
-
Oh..yes...I can see why QT would want to rush THIS to show at Cannes.
-
No. It's being advertised as such because the actual concept of the movie is fucking dull as dishwater. Did you see Verhoevens Black Book? Imagine that rewritten by a really pretentious film student. Not to worry, there is a 25 minute scene of drunken germans playing guess the pre war celebrity who have a dull run in with Mike Myers and Brad Pitt and Eli Roth to distract you from the french chick with no doubt great feet getting bloody revenge on the man who ruined her life and killed her loved ones.

for Friday nights Terminator and Dollhouse (in SUPER SOUND). Cute. But someone forgot to tell Fox that Grindhouse was a big fail.

by hollywoodsummers
because that was the lamest swing of a bat to a head I've ever seen. Looks like he's never swung a bat in his life. If you're going to hit a baseball or knock off a nazi's head you should crank that bat all the way back and swing away. He's a total fag.

I disagree, but, to each his own. I think KILL BILL is the greatest thing he's ever done and its one of my all time fave movies evar.
-
He looks like is about to start laughing at any moment. I find it hard to believe that he is filled with wanton blood-lust as he delivers that speech because of his goofy grin. And Pitt has turned in some good roles in Sleepers, Seven, Fight Club, and the Ocean's Films.

***** Ask for more HATE and VOLUME in Pitt's delivery. *****

Damn. I still want to make movies.

I'm confused, I thought it was the other TB.

In case that wasn't obvious.

Everyone knew he was ripping shit off even back when Dogs came out. The only difference is, Dogs and Pulp were good.

QT's only combat expeience is with his White Vader dealer.

When I see Eli Roth, and that smug little smile he sports onscreen, I just want to floss his teeth with my fist. I'll always remember seeing him, along with Roger Bart, who looks like the sweetest guy in the world, on AMC Shootout the weekend before Hostel 2 opened. Going on about how it will open huge, and Roger will become a big star because of it, and will be beating women away with a stick because of the fake dick he wore in the movie. Roger chuckled sheepishly alongside. All I could think was WHAT A GIANT DOUCHE. Roth, may be, in person, a great guy. His public personal shouts DOUCHE.

Well your name is certainly appropriate (go figure) but I don't really give a shit that you can't detect a great performance when you see it (BP in Jesse James) and that you probably dislike the guy because his lot in life is MUCH better than yours (and all of ours for that matter) But please, whine harder, it's what you do afterall.
-
...that the "Reservoir Dogs" poster fell from my wall today even though the adhesive was still plenty sticky, or is it all just a coincidence?
-
looked like a MUCH better movie.

that tarantino is now seen as a talentless hack, whereas mcg and bay have movies you guys are looking forward too. viva la geeks!

Would do to this fucking TB, do you?

I'm thinking Mel, because it's WAAAAAAY too goofy to be a Tarantino movie.
Oh, and the only real "Basterd" is named Vyvyan. THE YOUNG ONES FTW!

it's 2009. wars are going on as we speak. americans and iraqis and palestinians and jews and more are dying. they are being murdered. i can't imagine why, in this day and age, people would still want to watch movies about war, especially ones that glorify "heroic" violence. and here comes tarantino with this gore-porn for mindless fools that think killing and violence is "cool". let them spend one day in any of the areas of the world torn apart daily by violence. i wish people would learn that violence, real or imaginary is not "cool". but until hollywood ceases to force it on us repeatedly we won't. we'll keep wasting our dollars on this escapist crap. and this idea that there is one group (whatever name you give it: al qaeda, nazi, terrorist, etc.) that is deserving of death and violence is very dangerous. especially when it is the "good guys" that are doing the killing. now i know, a forum like this isn't the place to have an intelligent discourse on the evils of war. but it has to take place somewhere. and it can't just be a coincidence that there are so many movies about nazis and revenge in an industry that is controlled by a good number of jewish people. i'm not being anti-semitic, but unfortunately, anything said about the jewish people in a less than favorable light is labeled as such. yes, the holocaust was a tragic and horrible thing that should never have happened and could have been prevented if the american military actually cared about the victims of war and not just "american interests" and what's in it for them. the same is going on today in the middle east today with israel bombing the shit out of palestine with everyone looking the other way. war is evil. violence is evil. we should have moved beyond this by now, but whoever has the majority of control in this world doesn't want us too. and it's a shame. and so the children are shown these movies with the message that violence and revenge and war is "cool" and the circle repeats. so there will always be human meat to be ground up in the name of what? power? empiralism? capitalism?
and i'm quite prepared for the rebuttals to this post, whether they be intelligent or the more predominant neanderthal mentality variety.
peace. -
Sounds like pure jealousy. The guys is a fine actor, a great movie star, and he puts bums in seat. Now fuck off you nerds. I have not been a huge fan of QT's post-Jackie Brown films, but I'll always give that motherfucker the benefit of the doubt.
-
and it stinks that way also!
quentin is done! -
Sorry. I enjoy some of QT's films but this teaser looks bad. You cannot tell me this is all they have to offer right now. It doesn't look good.
-
Agree that this movie looks pretty goddamn pointless. I, like others, also hope that the teaser is not indicative of the final cinematic experience. But if the finished product indeed consists solely of testosterone-driven, ill-conceived torture porn, I'll take a pass. STRONGLY DISAGREE regarding a previous sentiment that Brad Pitt is a "fine actor". He sucks. The only bums he puts into seats belong to chicks and gay dudes. The rest of the seats would be filled with people who want to watch a good movie in spite of Pitt's involvement. Sorry - the guy just isn't that good.
-
hope he is a Red Shirt in this, and disappears fast.
-
yes Death Proof owned you little whores.
-
But I strongly doubt it will be an awful film. I'm hoping it's just a matter of the film being a tough marketing sell.
-
That is, he looks like a Ken doll with a glued-on moustache. His delivery is way to cool, too detached. It doesn't look like his character really means what he's saying. He looks like an actor within the movie acting a part in a film within the movie.I haven't read the screenplay, so I don't know if there's an explanation for this sort of too-self-aware delivery. I hope so, because Pitt has done better than this. And he could be doing this really well.
-
Yes, QT has always been influenced by B-movies, but than again so has Martin Scorsese (just watch "A Personal Journey with Martin Scorsese Through American Movies" to how much the b-movies influenced him); the difference between the two is that Martin Scorsese wasn't trying to make the ultimate B-movie, which seems to be QTs only aspiration.
That is why I found his earlier films better. It seemed like he was mining the material and scenarios of pulp and b-movies to be used to examine more mature themes, which is why I think Jackie Brown, a film informed by blaxplotation but not limited in a way that genre was, is his most mature and sophisticated film to date (not his best though; that still goes to Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction). Kill Bill and Death Proof just feels like he is trying to exploit the concept of exploitation films - it doesn't feel like he has anything to say other than "This is so cool."
-
After hearing all the praise heaped upon the script, I was preparing myself for the most badass Tarantino movie yet. And following Kill Bill Vol. 2 and Death Proof, I have no doubt that the man can still fire on all cylinders. But this trailer was a pretty big disappointment for me. I guess I'm just tired of Brad Pitt hamming it up for the camera. What we see of his performance in this teaser is certainly supposed to be over the top, but it comes across as more silly than cool. Plus, BJ Novak? Samm Levine? And Mike Myers is in this? What kind of fucking cast is this? And while I like Eli Roth, seeing him in this movie doesn't exactly pump me up.Overall, this movie could certainly still be lots of fun. But I guess I was expecting to have my mind blown by this teaser, instead of feeling like I've seen it all before. I am one of those people who didn't care for Kill Bill Vol. 1, because I felt it was just Quentin stroking his ego and getting entirely distracted with all the fun toys he could play with. I'm afraid this movie gives me that same vibe. When Quentin puts his head down and just pays attention to plot and characters, he can create something brilliant. But when he enters self-indulgent territory, I get worried.
-
I mean yeah he wore it but still it's a damn fuckin piece of metal just an object. Did the watch execute ww2 and off zillions of people to dirt? It woulnd't make a difference in th movie's quality onscreen if it was a plastic toy watch since no one gives a shit aside from people who read every bit of quibble of the making of the movie. I mean did Patton have Patton's actual US Army Surplus Sturdy Cock Ring or did Langella use Nixon's actual Dildo Of Paranoia? Btw anyone think it's funny that the msot talked about person of the 20th century is Hitler whether for better or worse? The most influential person is Stalin i think since he won over Hitler and was able to project himself on half of the world the longest of any other human, even FDR didn't reach his bredth of global control.
-
In the long run FDR was the winner. The WISE MEN advised Truman to contain communism, and it was a tactic that worked. Communist Russia couldn't last out the century while the US, despite some setbacks, are pretty much guaranteed to be here for at least another 100 years.

You are correct, war is ugly and horrifying. But I think that it is a necessary evil in order to prevent something even more horrific (a genocide, say.)I think that the people of South Korea are glad we went there. All one has to do is look over into the Hell on Earth that is North Korea and see that we did good. A lot of men and women died, yes, but the result of the war is a free nation that is an economical player.Can movies take it too far? Sure, I guess. You say that we should not be watching or making war movies when there are wars going on. I wonder...there is violence in all parts of life (domestic, robberies, etc.) so, using your logic, should we not watch a movie like "Taken" where Liam Neeson wades through a bunch of creeps that kidnap women for use as sex slaves? I mean, surely that does go on in the world.I'm not trying to be a bastard or anything, I just see things differently.This movie (Basterds) seems cartoonish to me. The war movie equivalent of "Friday the 13th". A bunch of dopey cartoon Nazis are getting killed by a bunch of stupid Tarantino characters. There will not be much of an impact except on Tarantino geeks who think this is "fucking awesome, man!"
-
even the best b-movies way back when werent trying to be bad movies - no one sets out to make a bad movie - when QT made reservoir dogs, pulp fiction and jackie brown he wasnt trying to make a tribute to a b-movie (bad movie that didnt intend to be bad) - this new one will open huge and draw its intended audience - and thats great - im not going to lie, i even want to see this - but its not what i was hoping for from QT - i know he can make these kinds of movies very well - theyre a mild exercise for a talent like him - but i want to see him make something better - blow me away - like he did with pulp fiction or jackie brown - the coens out QTed QT with "no country for old men", that was note perfect - but the whole faux b-movie/grindhouse thing is old now and it just took the hype of death proof/planet terror for it to happen - its shtick - its a fame of reference - reservoir dogs needed no such place holder - it mined the best elements of older movies for what they were and it became a new and original thing - that feels like centuries ago

its historically accurate, gory and has zombies

Completely agree with Continentalop and JimmyJoe RedSky
by hilarious wacky username
It doesn't matter where the "influence" came from. His movies up to Jackie Brown all connected on an emotional level. They took inspiration and ideas from B movies but they were still serious films with characters you cared about. These days it's all just a big wink to his pals with absolutely no subtlety on his attempted journey to make the ultimate schlock.
I won't lie, I will be watching it but based on this, it's *such* a disappointment. When I first read about this movie I had high hopes of a return to mature film-making. Shame on me I guess. -
Where's the compassion? Engage the Germans and defeat them by all means, but what's the point of gratuitous violence (apart from the obvious entertainment value)?
Seems wrong... -
our system outlasted their system, but if we're talking individuals only FDR led for just over a decade, Stalin for 3, heck he was still leading until Truman's last year as prez, during their similar time though they had about half the world split in their pockets.
-
MMM GOOD TAINT
-
FDR is the most influential 20th century leader. but for the 21st century it is Carrot Top and the 19th it's the Ripper!
-
Volume 1 - Projectionist Jew broad empowerment
Volume 2 - Basterds rounding up scalps -
Now that I'm aware of it from reading some of the posts of those who read the leaked draft I'm horrified by the possibility that it could achieve the unthinkable by being worse than Death Proof. He wasted potential Kurt Russell vehicular badassery by getting too caught up with a predominant YOU GO GIRL storyline and now I fear the same could be done with the juicy conceit of a murderous Jew cadre going on a Nazi kill spree. In this instance the feminism could be more awkwardly placed than it's been in past projects. Guys going in expecting Dirty Dozen on crack are going to throw molotav cocktails at the screen.
-
why is this one so 'meh' I'm hoping it's just because this one scene kinda blows.
-
There are no real men in this picture.
-
Are you telling em that people who saw Se7en enjoyed (maybe a bad choice of words) the film despite Pitts involvement? plus, hasn't the guy been nominated for TWO oscars? Oh and what's wrong with chicks and gay dudes? You sound like a whiny little homophobic woman-hater. I pity guys like you.
