INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Tease From AMERICAN IDOL Now Online!!!
Beaks here...
Quentin Tarantino appeared on AMERICAN IDOL last night as the guest mentor for "Movie Music Week", and while I'm crushed that Lil Rounds didn't use this as an opportunity to bust out "Navajo Joe", we at least got an INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS tease out of this not-so-unlikely union (Tarantino was a guest judge back in '04). Here's all forty-two seconds of it:
Is that our first glimpse of Mike Myers as General Ed Fenech? I do believe it is.
We're about a month away from INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS' in-competition premiere at the Cannes Film Festival, and an excruciating four months away from the film's August 21, 2009 commercial release. I wonder if we'll see QT at Comic Con this year? He last attended for GRINDHOUSE in '06.

-
...already can blow me while I watch it...I might even enjoy it more that way...
-
just announced the line for 6th annual electric picnic live at stradbally county laois. to see the line up go to www.electricpicnic.ie
-
seriously I thought he was revisiting some Austin Powers character there. Hopefully that's intentionally stupid. Tarantino fanboys, your director is a hack. Flame on!
-
...my parents would LOVE to see the hardcore uncensored Idol footage. Because they're old...and watch that show.
-
First fucking Eli Roth. Now Idol?
-
If this movie didn't have the usual feminine touches of QT and just what was shown in this clip, I'd gladly see this on the big screen.
But it's not all men and Nazi kills, oh well. -
I'm gonna post this on every new Basterds TB. And nothing else. Minus this explaination. This is the only time you will read it. I think I show you what it will be like. Wait for it. Wait for it. Here it comes:

heh Langhaariger: ich freu mich aber auf beides. trotzdem, der gag war lusdisch, den de da gemacht hast.

How can you hate him? He's just a film geek who made it. He makes the movies he wants, and seems to fully appreciate how he's been blessed to have that ability. I can understand disliking individual movies, but how can you hate someone who makes them because he loves film?
-
Nobody reads your site, so stop advertising it over here. Even the guys at the imdb boards are laughing at you, because before NTF went online, they were the biggest fucktards on the web. (I don't mean the people who run imdb. Only the fucktards who hang out at their message boards.)
-
This movie just transcended to all sorts of levels of weird.
-
So lustig fand ich es selber nicht, aber danke. :) (Es sei denn, du warst sarkastisch. Dann gibt es den hier von mir: >:( )
-
Just because someone loves movies, doesn't mean he makes good movies.
-
Because we love making movies! Nope, still sounds lame, roll the fucking camera.
-
...hund in this particular fight...but the Basterds don't want to kill all Germans...just the bad ones.
-
But I'll never get vitriolic and spew hate at someone who does anything just for the love of it. Unless they are child molesters. Or Puppy drowners.
-
Final three predictions for Idol:
3rd place/ Lil Rounds Big Tits
2nd place/ Adam Eyeliner
1st place/ Danny Dead Wife.
I've never voted, but I can see the way it's going. If you're a betting man then put your money on those three positions and you'll clean up. -
then do us all a favor... go and make some good films. If you don't, who will?

are about as edgy as Jim Belushi's humor. We get it, you don't like him. And your contributions to society are so much better than his or even Uwe Boll's for that matter.
If you want to hate something, hate that little loser virgin site Nuke The Fridge. It reads as it's written by 5 year olds drinking purple sizzurp. -
Is a playground of 12 year olds flaming the shit outa each other. Unintelligent and unreadable. At least the AICN talkbackers have a sense of humor/are entertainingly consistent.
-
I'm not rippin' on QT, but isn't it supposed to be spelled "BASTARDS" not "BASTERDS"???
-

-
Only because its the latest trend in pop culture discourse. Fincher is starting to suck too. Come to think of it. PTA is in the same league as well. We need a new director everyone can love for the time being but grow to hate later ASAP.
-
Bad move using Austin Powers. Hopefully, it's not too late to put him on the cutting room floor. He sticks out like a sore thumb.
-
i love him though, but i'm sick of the british and scottish accents
-
Love it.

Face it Tarantino apologists, people are catching on that his movies post-pulp are horrible. You may like his crap films, but understand that its a majority opinion. And that you're fat. And old. And have horrible taste. Fat asses.
-
Sie sagen Sie Abnutzung Ihr Mutteranus in Ihrem Hahn und essen Ihre smelly Scheiße der Schwestern zum Frühstück? Lustiger Mann. Versuchen Sie, Ihren Großvater fisting, während er auf Ihrer Männlichkeit saugt. Ja wirklich wirklich gut. Filme der Freude müssen wie dieser aufgepaßtes blankes sein. Tarantino ist ein Mann des großen Magens, aber kleine Penis.
-
QT has done it all. Now mentoring on a glorified Gong Show? Fantastic. Telling you, AICN, how do you fit up QT's ass so far when his gigantic melon is firmly planted in there?

This looks sweet and I'm really looking forward to it
by cant_stop_yawning
I'm w/ Hasselhoffflying on this - nothing beats nazi's for villians, and you can whine all you want about Pitt, but he is an icon, and we don't have enough of them. Qt is touch and go, but if he returns to form, this will be a cult classic. One thing to consider, is his room for long, tiresome cultural references is limited by the period and that is a good thing. He needed a period piece to reign him in. If there is one thing we don't need anymore in modern movies it's hipster nods to the 70's, 80's and 90's.
Another thing, America needs to remind the world, and, to a greater extent, ourselves, that we once owned the moral high road (ok, perhaps we didn't need to drop two nukes on Japan, but chat w/ some Koreans or Chinese and you might get a different point of view).
-
That's like some hipster, ironic slapstick going on there, right? Surely that isn't meant to be seen as cool or intense or dramatic. This looks lazy and weak, though it would be nice to be wrong about that.
-
Love him or hate him (and I fucking love him) one thing just about everyone in the world could agree on was that Tarantino was a casting genius. I don't know, Stallone completely blew him away in that aspect. This movie should have had the ultimate dirty dozen cast but buntil he gives me a reason not to, I trust Tarantino with my ten bucks!
-
I just don't know what to think of this film... I like QTs work. Better not be nuking my fridge!
-
You, sir, have not seen Jackie Brown.
-
Judging by that, he is. BRING ON THE EXPENDABLES!
-
Not! But I wish... Oh yeah, BASTERDS looks cool...
-
abosolutely horrible. wasnt even about the guys, it was mostly about this girl who escaped. and the ending is so over the top and stupid...sigh. this will have an okay first week and bomb after that.
-
All I'm saying is that if someobdy starts promoting a screening of some old Nazi movie--or a screening of the original movie with the same title--I'd make sure my ass was there!
-
..and that is why Tarantino's movies have sucked ass since and why this movie sucks the most ass of all. You pricks make the exact same lame excuses for Tarantino that you do for Kevin Smith:"He's a movie fan that made it and does it his way and if you think you can do better..."BLORCH! Fuck you with a christmas ham when you're a hack then that gives viewers the right to call you such, and Tarantino is a bitch-ass HACK and at some point you bitch-ass apologists will wise up and if having the Crown Prince of Hacks Mike Meyers in this film with his stupid-assed put-on accent doesn't convince you then you are, as I have stated before, one big stupid biscuit swimming in idiot gravy...or something to that effect.
-
My exact words before seeing Indy 4 apply here.
-
I mean, if it wasn't Quentin, would anyone give a sh*t about an ultra-violent Nazi movie? "It's been done." - George Harrison, THE SIMPSONS
-
WTF is Austin Powers doing in this?
-
When do they come out? haha. Pathetic. All you can do is hate because if you even tried, you would fail. I'm not saying I love all of QT's material, but most of you know-nothings are HACKS. haha Hack commentators that will never produce anything versus hack filmmakers that produce something. YOU FAIL! hhahaha.
-
The_Observer, fuckingA dude. FuckingA.
-
He's doing something he's never done before and I can't wait.
-
Pretty geeked on Trek though.
-
takes place in an alternate timeline. Really. I ain't kiddin' here, folks. The movie takes place in a world where history runs differently. Absolute insanity, but does anyone tell you about that? Nope. Only me. This thing is going to be a huge mess. Might be an entertaining mess, but it's going to be a huge mess. Sort of like "Star Trek."
-
I think most of us would rather produce no films than crap films. Tarantino is not a hack, IMO, but I'd rather never make a film in my life than make "Alone in the Dark."
-
I don't get that attitude, enlighten me, because it really seems to me that what you're saying is if you don't make movies yourself you don't get to have an opinion. The thing is I am NOT a "critic", I don't get paid a red cent for my golden witticisms so I really don't think I need any high ground from which to judge anything, I am merely expressing my own personal opinion with a bunch of other opinionated media lovers, some interest me, others do not, it's a damn good deal really, my brother can't be around all the time to make some obscure geek reference with and who the fuck else would watch a panel discussion with the producers of the new Dr Who? It's what we're here for, this is the armchair quaterback Hall of Fame, we got all the greats, you're at the ball game but damn boy stop complaining that the $1 beers are skunky!
-
not at all, but Myers would have an outside shot if they role is meaty, showy and long enough. Pitt looks awesome and may sneak in if voters have a sense of humor and aren't turned off by violence. If they nominated Downey Jr last year for Tropic Thunder, Myers could actually get in, in a weak year in supporting. Don't think he will, but...
-
..no one, even Tarantino is above criticism, or should be. Bitch Pleeeeze.
-
That made me laugh hard and long. (In the "That was funny" way. Not the "Har har, I'm gonna track down and kill this Schweinehund" way.)
-
...imagines Mori and me in a sexual intercourse. Seriously, I feel flattered. I've never been the center of a total strangers sexual fantasies before (as far as I know), so let me apologize to everybody who is involved with ntf.com. If I make them horny, they can't be that bad.
-
Let the blood flow, QT.
-
It's the hair, man. Very dreamy.
-
Van Dam turned down the expendables because he has a secret cameo in this movie... I guess we will have to wait and see..
-
I read the script and if memory serves correct he has only one scene.

With the exception of Jackie and Kill Bill, Ive hated QTs post P
by ashokzero
And imo, even after Reservoir Dogs... with the exceptions of Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill, none of his other movies were really THAT great.
-
the only movie your missing of his that according to you "wasn't really THAT great" was Death Proof. So Quentin's 4/5 for you. Not a bad batting average
-
"with the exceptions of Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill, none of his other movies were really THAT great."
You named half of his movies! Not knocking your opinion I'm just saying if you're trying to hate on the guy you're doing a piss poor job. -
Perhaps for Pitt or Myers? Wanna buy some Amway sir?
-
IS MADE OF FAIL...there feel better!
-
Was QT giving singing advice to American Idol contestants. WTF? Really Quentin? Really?
-
Pulp Fiction is way over rated...that movie is boring...go wathch it right now and tell me your not bored!!!
-
OPENING NIGHT! On yer ass bitches!
-
Am I allowed to talk shit about Tarantino? Or is it only people that make films? Moron.
-
im not really a QT fan.. Pulp Fiction was great.. but yeah.. not my thing... but ultra violent nazi killings will be FUN :)
and yea.. i think harry may give this a semi-good review! -
I've noticed this a lot, people hating on Tarantino, but admitting they like Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill. Like AshokZero, whom I think may have been kidding, most people who hate Quentin seem to only hate about 20% of his output. Not a bad percentage if you ask me.
-
i cant believe they put him in this. I dont think he can pull this off without ppl laughing.
-
What is this story? It's not a rumor. It's not really news. It's PR for Quentin Tarantino. Remember when AICN would post links to trailers before the studio wanted you to see them? That doesn't happen anymore because Harry is in the studios' pockets. I'll bet the Weinstein's publicist gave AICN the go-ahead to publish this story. We used to get gossip on this site, now we get commercials that ran on American Idol? AICN used to print rumors like perezhilton.com, but now all of the articles on this site are carefully constructed PR stories that are meant to manipulate you into thinking some movie is "cool". Don't read this site anymore. Have you noticed that Variety is more comprehensive with their industry news than AICN? That's pretty sad. Nowadays, AICN is primarily used to hock soundtracks and drum up buzz for movies the studios are worried you won't see. I'll bet some media corporation like Time Warner bought this site and didn't tell you about it. This site is like Entertainment Tonight.
-
QT's movies are built on homages. They must be proud...
-
I've changed my mind and will reserve judgement until I see it but come on people, it doesnt look good right now.
-
a sore thumb in Tarantino movies. That's part of the charm. Mike Meyers will work in this capacity; I will laugh and reach new heights of euphoric weirdness-appreciation.
Bad Sore Thumb = Sam Malone in Saving Private Ryan
Good Sore Thumb = Tom Cruise in Tropic Thunder
See the difference? The Love Guru in Tarantino WORKS. -
...the less I want to see it.
-
Ricky. Jees.
-
I feel embarassed for Tarantino.

Apr 15, 2009 6:24:42 PM CDT
HAHAHA. Please Quentin...keep showing us more.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
Expect Observe and Report numbers come opening weekend.
-
why are you laughing? I feel like I missed the boat on the new QT hate. Is this all because Planet Terror was more fun than Death Proof?
-
Quentin's movies kick ass. All of 'em. Would you rather have more Aliens Vs Monsters and Hannah Montana?
-
Please.
-
Thank you!
-
Apr 15, 2009 6:33:11 PM CDT
Yes I would rather have more Hannah Montana....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....because I can give a fuck about her and I don't have to fucking listen to her shit. The Hannah Montana craze is no different than the QT craze around here. Adoration of talentless fucks that know how to market themselves. No different. Luckily people are finally fucking coming to their senses. Not here...but everywhere. I here more and more personal friends that used to adore the motherfucker saying they're tired of his shit and will not be seeing this latest turkey.

I'm waiting for THANKSGIVING.

-
Just have a feeling that the Tarantino haters here luuuuuuuvvvv George Lucas!! Tell me if I'm wrong, dipshits. DannyGloversdickblood, suck a fat cock, bitch.
-
Dickblood and his buds liked QT but then found religion and gave him up, then I'd submit to you that the only reason they claimed to like him in the first place was because the pulp fiction hype machine was working and they didn't want to look lame. Q's been doing the same stuff, only getting better, since Dogs. You boys didn't wake up to QT's truth, you only stopped lying to yourselves.And I think you meant to insult me, rather than Hobocode. No?
-
That shot of the guy with baseball bat was lazy and weak. Probably stolen from Field of Dreams, with a wannabe hipster, iconic spin. I'm a douchebag.
-
complete shit!
-
That they can go see this AND The Expendables. Don't they?
-
that 50% of it you know...anyway this has Brad Pitt talking like a hick which is full of win(haha I said it) not to mention the Naaahcies...this is gonna rock!
-
is just gravy ...suckas!!!
-
IO 'watched' it with sound...cuase what i said didnt make sense..at least part of it...did I say this is gonna rock...tha haters can suck my DONKEY BALLS!!!
-
is anyone else familiar with it? Assuming they didn't do a rewrite - and the .pdf I saw said it was final draft - this thing is fucking insane, and not in a good way.
-
Apr 15, 2009 7:43:05 PM CDT
Holy Hell -- No. You're fine. I disagree with you....
by dannyglovers_dickblood
....but I ain't got no beef. HOBOCODE on the other hand is a whiny punk that successfully procures the ass fisting on a nightly basis. May he choke on me hernial fluid. He shall not be missed. Even Mom stopped calling.
-
I don't understand anything about film except what I saw in 70s exploitation movies... So I'm immensely qualified to make a film about Quentin Tarantino!!! I'll intentionally misspell the name, too, so I look edgy: ILL LITERATE KOKE HED
-
I was wondering how long it would take Harry to get back to sucking Tarantino's dick.
-
Apr 15, 2009 7:54:51 PM CDT
My balls will feel so fucking good when QT disappears.
by dannyglovers_dickblood
After he's reduced to a career directing Office Depot commercials, you think he'll develop a serious meth habit? Anyone? Anyone?
-
I have everything he's ever made and watch his films a lot. But Tarantino's conceit of "intentional misspelling" to demonstrate that these soldiers were illiterate trigger-pumping goons (instead of just admitting that he fucked up the spelling in his hand-written first draft) offends the living hell out of me. As a retired GI myself (and now a WWII museum curator) I can tell you that literacy among US soldiers during WWII was well over 95%; among Jewish soldiers it was 100%. Stop pissing on the memory of these men to hide your illiteracy, Quentin!
-
I'd say you should probably see it before you decide?? I'm not sure the spelling is exactly "pissing on the memory of those men" either. My grandfather, who actually was an aircraft mech. in WW2, said he thought it looked good. He didn't mention anyone pissing on his memory. Weuird Huhz??!?!?! And he is 82.
-
As always. And AICN laps it up. Zzzzzzzzzzzz
-
RTFP (READ THE FUCKING POST). It's not the film as such (I enjoy and watch his films. A lot). It is the intentional misspelling and his publicly stated reason for it.
-
Who tries to make a gritty WWII movie and use the cleanest TV cinematography imaginable? Oh right, Tarantino. The guy has not made a good film in 15 YEARS!!! Jackie Brown had its moments but it was not a very good picture. Kill Bill Vol. 1 is one of the worst pieces of shit I have ever seen, therefore I refused to see Vol. 2 in theaters. Caught some of it on cable and the only good thing in it was Michael Madsen's story, otherwise it was more of the same garbage. And don't even get me started on Death Proof, which was a train wreck of epic proportions. The proof is my old man. He doesn't love very many movies, but he loved Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Really looked forward to what QT was gonna do next. Was disappointed by Jackie Brown, and turned off Kill Bill about 20 minutes in it was so bad. He was like "what the fuck happened to this guy? What in the hell was that??" Once QT got famous, his shit went down the drain. His best script is still True Romance. Roger Avery was a great influence on him, and once he told that drunk to get lost QT could not produce anything worth a damn anymore. Kill Bill and Death Proof are so unbelievably awful it is embarrassing.
-
Jackie Brown was shit. the samurai movie with the wookie was shit. death trap or whatever the fuck it was called was shit. pulp fiction was great. res dogs didnt do it for me.. not into watching a cop getting brutally tortured.
but this one will be cool :) -
...the tyranny of evil men speech is one of the all time great film soliloquies. Perfect writing. Perfect delivery. Perfect camera work. Both Tarantino and Jackson have gone on to do some occasionally fecal matterish work since then, but that speech...you know that shit's the truth...I'm trying reeel hard to be the shepherd....
-
...but sometimes the obvious truth needs repeating.
-
As fucking Idol is! QT is such a bad ass for being on that show. Its SOOO FUCKING hardcore. Man I can't wait ten years from now when he makes another cool bad ass movie about a reality TV show. Its GONNA BE WELL ARD!
-
malificus - this is what it is - your opinion is valid to you and anyone that appreciates the anonymity of the web, which means, anonymous UN-artists QQ too much and bring nothing to the table except QQ sauce.
slone13 - u make tv shows - television sucks ballz - what tv show are you the executive producer of? If u aren't writing them, don't speak up, and if you are the friend that writes for the head writer, still be quiet. I make tv shows too, and I make films, but that doesn't give me a license to shit on everything. The POINT is, I'll put up my unfinished work next to your finished work and dazzle your mind, and I'll take that respect you give me, and then shit on it, and give it back to you.
The struggle isn't about box office success or AICN plants hyping mediocre fare, but the actual potential of artists succeeding in changing the milieu that spawned them. They reflect YOU and US and our culture, whatever that is at the time, so unless you decide to offer up something worth a conversation, relax your angry, vindictive, bitter sentiments that have little fanfare except from other automatons with similar credentials.
LICENSE my NUTZ. -
Why didn't they just get David Paymer?? I thought that was him until I actually read what Harry put. Also I thought this movie starred Brad Pitt not Johnny Knoxville?
-
Perfect writing? You realize he's quoting the Bible, right? So, QT didn't actually, you know, WRITE that.
-
What's this feud you've got going with Hobo? What's it all about?
-
...long and the scene lasts about five minutes...so I'd say he wrote it, yes. I'm talking about the good shepherd scene at the end in the diner, not the bible quote before he shoots the guys in the beginning. The bible has some good writing in it too though...but the camera work is only so so.
-
He really needs to stay behind the camera. For Christ's sakes never in front of it!
-
I guess I don't remember the scene as well as you do, I though he repeated it in it's entirety. With that in mind, I conceed. But I agree, the camera work in the Bible is really poor. They should remake THAT :)
-
UH, BITCH PLEEEEEEZE!!!
-
Here, let me crawl back into my hole and never offer another opinion on a public DISCUSSION BOARD because I haven't done my own TV show that creative marvel's like you can then rip apart in response. Dude, fuck your miserable self-importance I do not have to bring a TV show to the table to discuss my fucking opinion about other shows, what sort of mental defect are you? I'll spout my fucking mouth off about any fucking subject on these boards, out of informed opinion, personal experience or for the benefit of blowing fucking know-nothing smoke right out of my fucking ASS and directly into your stupid fucking FACE. I'm a veteran, I pay my fucking taxes, therefore I reserve the right within the boundaries of the United States to spout the fuck off any way I damn fucking well want to about any THING I damn well please. This movie looks to be shit because the preview's fucking shit and I'm not alone in thinking that so take that to your other TV Show writing compatriots and tell them Malificus said "Fuck you hacks up your stupid fucking asses" never having seen a single frame. See how that works?

by vaudeville villain
Sideshow Collectibles statuette... *this* clip? a sad realization that a strong fear of mine may be fact: QT's best days are behind him. although i'm reserving final judgment until i've seen the finished product (doesn't everyone?), while PRAYING that Death Proof was little more than a misstep, everything i've seen/read/heard thus far of Basterds has given me little reason to believe otherwise.
i mean, really. Mike Myers? really? -
KILL BILL 2 mostly sucked - JACKIE BROWN was OK; anyone see the progression here?

Veterans of our country fight for profit margins, not for the people, or they would have overthrown George Bush and the gang. As far as I'm concerned, that holds no weight, because if you were fighting for me or my benefit, we would live in a slightly less complex world. I'm not important because I claim importance. I'm important to you and everyone else on this planet that deserves so much better. Maybe everyone doesn't deserve better, but maybe you do. Maybe one day, I will blow your mind, and you won't even know it was me. Just maybe.:)
-
For anyone who cares there is a scene from the script of this movie in the latest Vanity Fair Magazine with Gisele Bundchen on the cover. This scene takes up a good four or five pages of a magazine and not just down the middle of the page, its in four or five columns on each page, so I'm guessing screen time is between 5 and ten minutes. Anyway, its the opening scene and a Nazi comes to a French farm and interogates the farmer about whether or not he's hiding jews. And the Nazi goes on for what must be a page of the actual script about how jews are like mice and nazi's like wolves and so on and so forth. Anyway, it seemed really boring and it was dialogue that was there to show off dialogue like usual tarantino dialogue. Oh and SPOILER ALERT the farmer's got a jewish family under the floorboards of his house while the nazi is talking right above them. Hasn't that been played out a few times before. But as far as QT goes he's a victim of his previous accolades, for whatever reason he was given awards for PF and people assumed he was a dramatic director when in reality all the time he was more of an entertainer. Everything after Jackie Brown has been grindhouse like, Kill Bill Grindhouse, and even the scenes of this film seem cartoony with over the top violence. In other words I don't expect "serious" work from him anymore becuase I don't think he wants to do it or possibly can't pull it off. Could you really see QT direct a "Munich" or "History of Violence" as they were done by Cronenberg and Spielberg. Or anything say, a Ridley Scott does. I can't. So I don't know if its because he doesn't write with Avery anymore or what, but I enjoyed Kill Bill part 1, not so much part 2, and could've done without about half of deathproof. Fingers crossed for Basterds.
-
WHAT ARE YOU FUCKING CLOWNS SMOKING!/?!1!/???
-
I'm looking forward to this. Quentin Tarantino directing violent-as-hell alternative history? Sounds good to me! It's a new genre for him, and I'm interested to see where the damn story goes.
-
but, now I kinda see what he's going for. This will be the film that will divide even his biggest fans right down the middle.
I hope it's great, but I have a feeling that general audiences won't get it, just like Grindhouse.
Good luck, QT! This might be the film that drops your stock to pennies. (I hope not.) -
Top Secret! needed a remake?
-
Hobo and I were cool for the longest time. I stuck up for him when most trashed him. We had many a conversation in the CoC TB's. I even thought he was sort of a member. A few months back I find him talking shit about me in some random Tarantino TB coincidentally. I hadn't even posted in TB and he said some shit to someone like "At least you're not as much of a prick as DGDB."End of story. He's fucking dead to me.
-
and pitts as well, sly is the man!
-
I hated his last flick, DEATH PROOF, but I'm feeling a good vibe about this new one. I don't expect it to be in the same league as PULP FICTION. But I can imagine it being, at least, as entertaining as KILL BILL. Only time will tell, of course.
-
Just sayin' as I'm not looking forward to either.

It sort of reminds me of 2001. Boring as hell, but I can't stop watching it. The viewer feels like a fly on the wall. These sort of intimate movies are not for everyone. I wouldn't watch 2001 or Jackie Brown with a group of friends, because you'll always get that one friend who'll ask, is it over yet?

Cast him as Jaws in the next Bond film.
-
Ah, this looks genius! I simply can't wait. looks brilliant as well!
-
Sorry to hear that. I wonder what possessed him. Maybe he was possessed by Lucishane? Maybe he meant prick in a good way?
-
Damn You Michael Bay
-
Behave!
-
and the TITANS script 'review' is atrocious. It says NOTHING about the story in detail. I call total BS on it. Seriously NTFers, fuck off.
-
Curious, this one.
-
Cause he wrote the STORY to one of the three Pulp Fiction segments, he's the genius behind the whole shebang? Hm, when I think about that cinematic masterwork Killing Zoe, it makes more sense.
-
He just bugs me
-
all QTs movies are. even at his worst (i dunno...death proof?) it's still pretty good.

Looks like ape dung. Fuck Tarantino, that self-loving prick!

THE EXPENDABLES will pwn everything in 2010.
-
Because all the indications I've seen from the released footage is that it will be. You can't take any of this stuff seriously. It's like Mel Brooks did a WWII film.
-
QT or M. Night?

How does no one make any mention of the awful look of the cinematography of this film? It looks like a fucking TV movie it is so clean and brightly lit. I swear, the art of cinematography is dead in so many films that you idiots gobble up, and the fact that no one on here can lob any other criticism besides "he sucks" shows what kind of movie fans you are, pedestrian. Reservoir Dogs had a good look to it, as did Pulp Fiction for the most part, and even Jackie Brown, but his last three films have had a very clean, TV sheen to them, yet no one mentions this as another reason why QT is the worst and has no real regard for film. If he did he'd make his movies have interesting looks to them. But he doesn't.

Your tale of friendship and betrayal is quite touching...that's the kinda stuff that inspires Award caliber films :)

what an ego that guy has. What makes him think anyone wants to see him behind the camera?
-
Sorry, I can't pay for a movie if the writer can't be troubled to pick up a newspaper or a history book...
EXPENDABLES is some reworked Rambo right-wing wet dream...newsflash: there's only one dictator left in this hemisphere, and that's Raul Castro, who the US is now engaging (Hugo Chavez was elected twice, and survived a democratic referendum...that's not a dictator, sorry). Watch the fucking news once in a while, Sly.
And BASTERDS actually thinks the allies gave a shit about the plight of the Jews before the war ended...fat chance, they didn't even bomb the tracks leading into Auschwitz. Another wet dream. -
prove. me. wrong.

...Tarantino is looking more and more like the vampire version of Richie Gekko?
