Entertainment Tonight also butchers the new INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS trailer!
Hey folks, Harry here, and yes, I'm desperate enough to want/need/crave more of INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS to watch the below trailer mangling of ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT. With annoying voice overs, re-editing and just downright annoying... everything. But through the suffering, you can glimpse a few moments of new footage for our eyes. At least in this version, they're still not pushing a major part of this story that has nothing to do with Pitt & his Basterds. Which was actually my favorite parts of the script. Anyway, here ya go...
Click here to see it for yourself!

Take that, whoever the fuck usually posts that.
I'm an asshole. -
Taratino don't disappoint! Can't wait for Moon to get a wider release and was surprised how well done Outlander was! Good flick. Fuck the Weinsteins for fucking that movie. (first)
-
End of July baby!

i see a deer in headlights...who i'm pretty sure is going to bleach her hair blonde till she is 90...
if you don't watch that shit show for 15 years and then watch it again, it's unrecognizable... -
Fuck yeah!
-
Sheeeeeeesh. I think this is starting to border on obsession.
-
Did the latinos take yer JEORBS?!?!
-
love the way he says it
-
..i meant when he says 'oblige him'
-
The story lacked depth. This is actually looking more entertaining the more I see clips. I'm crossing my fingers.
-
Why would they talk about anything else concerning the film? It's all about the biggest stars. They couldn't care less.
-
seems to work when you watch Transformers. at least thats what idiots tell me.
-
have never found the ON switch.
-
Too many explosions. I can't follow it. Sorry.

It's like a geriatric Perez "I spend most of my time on my knees taking two cocks in both holes and one in my ear because I love cock and hate hotties like Miss California" Hilton.

oh DavidCarradinesAuto is that tarantina guy. hahaha makes perfect sense now. thought you had fucked off, dickhead?
-
QT & RR? They were THE dudes in the 90s that every film student wanted to be. But they stalled... They have the talent, it would be great to see something from them other than "retro violence."
-
I'm just going to say this to myself everytime I go into a movie so that I never have any expectation of any movie ever being any good, even movies that actually are Shakespeare because even those have Keannu Reeves.

Expendables doesn't have Bruce does it?
by guy who got a headache and accidentally
Since when was John McClane in it?
-
God, I hate it when people post that. Mostly because Shakespeare's themes aren't exactly arthouse. He wrote some romantic comedies, for fuck sake.
-
I'm with you but that and "turn your brain off" seem to be the Summer Movie 2009 meme.
-
... not interested.
-
I thought that, but to be fair, he does look okay in the role from the clips that I've seen. But - as much as I love Tarantino, I don't think BASTERDS will be the epic that Harry is building it up to be.
-
Perhaps Entertainment Tonight could edit the actual film into something that isn't shit and boring.
-
YOU DIDN'T USED TO BE SUCH A FUCKING EMBARRASSMENT.
-
I smell Anti-Semitism.
-
SERIOUSLY.
-
I think its safe to say QT's 15 minutes of fame ( as a an actor and great director ) are up...all you ussies will still get him work- but he's no different than any other mid level director.
-
It's just that all the people that used to admire them have become fatter, smellier and much more self-important versions of themselves and have been enabled by the internet to become an army of increasingly dumber Kael impersonators.
-
I don't even need to see it to pass full judgment on it. Who watches movies anymore anyway? I mean, really guys, whats the point?
-
and the rest of you unbelievable fucking losers copying DGDB with a random celebrity followed by a strange aspect of their anatomy are FUCKING PATHETIC LOSERS. Come up with something original for once in your god-forsaken lives. Edgar Wrights Prolapsed Anus? Could you try any fucking harder you incredible dolt?
-
Maybe Tarrantino has us fooled into believing he is Lee Marvin or something...

Expendables = Bristol naked doing jumping jacks
Basturds = Todd naked doing jumping jacks -
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Tarantino well past his sell by date.

It's disgusting. Angie queefs and ET is all over it.

TARANTINO'S BIGGEST PROBLEM IS HE LACKS TALENT
by edgarwrights_prolapsedanus
That video where he nearly started crying and was shaking as he drank his coffee was the best thing he's done in years.
-
geez!
-
Tarantino should have got Sly and the boys together in the first place, then his "dream project" wouldn't have looked like the farce this film appears to be. Harry, i know that a decade and a bit ago all fanboys had to suck up to Tarantino no matter what shit he made - we have all moved on, come follow us.
-
... like he was trying to look cool and not at all flustered when in reality he's on the verge of tears is one of the funniest things I've ever seen. He is a fucking joke. And then when he's walking off... It's just so fucking funny. As I say, best thing he's done in years.
-
aka The Mary Hart Story. She's pushing 90 right?
-
For hating the guy so much, you sure seem to have a lot of time to spend on here bashing him. Don't you have your own life to make fun of? My guess is that any given minute of your life is a hell of a lot more pathetic than a whole month of Quentin Tarantino's life since 1992. Good job.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
Sorry QT
-
Which makes her younger than Stallone and Schwarzenegger and Harrison Ford. And about six months older than Kurt Russell & Steven Seagal. NEWS FLASH: Your 80's ICONS are getting older. And so are YOU.

-
Stupid lack of edit feature wreck my stupid joke about Harry...
-
the guy has given us plenty!
-
QT has made, undeniably 2, possibly 3 or 4 for some people, films that will live on in the annals of film for all time as great, great works. Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction alone guarantee his place in history as a person who created some great films, and that is 2 more than any one of us will most likely ever even come close to being able to say. We will all be lucky if our grandkids remember we existed 50 years after our deaths. Tarantino will go live on in people like us for generations. So who the fuck are all of you to talk all this shit? Jealous fuckers, if you ask me. Reservoir Dogs alone guarantees my purchase of a ticket to every movie this man makes, whether I'm excited about it or not. His presence as a director has given me numerous hours of film much more enjoyable than the average film I see in any given week. Every single of you enjoyed Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Kill Bill a hell of a lot more than fucking Wolverine or Spiderman, or Terminator or Watchmen or just about fucking anything. Anyone who denies that can take a dirt nap because you are just too bitter to admit you don't have an ounce of talent or taste.
-
...who are knocking Tarantino and probably being paid by another studio to scrawl your illiterate attacks - SHUT UP AND MAKE A MOVIE.
If you're knocking Tarantino, you obviously don't know ANYTHING about the movies, nor do you love them. I even saw a comment here that read, "Who watches movies anymore, anyway?" LEAVE THE SITE IF THAT'S WHAT YOU THINK. YOU ARE ON A MOVIE FAN SITE. And anyone who doesn't think "Basterds" looks like a f*cking blast hasn't seen "The Guns of Navarone", "The Dirty Dozen", or half of the films its having fun with. MORONS. -
Harrys gonna give its a pass. even though the critics are not loving this at rotten tomatoes http://bit.ly/critcsbasterds It's like Fightclub all over again
http://bit.ly/UPzKC - interesting article on why loads of people are banking on this -
...that most once 'great' directors eventually fade away. It is only the very few, like the Spielbergs and the Scorseses that stay relevant, and most importantly, productive, decade after decade. Even Spielberg and Scorsese fell from view or relevancy for a good part of the 1980's to mid-1990's.
Think of all the great directors from the 1970's whose productivity and/or fame and relevancy faded away. Same with Tarantino and arguable Rodriguez (though Sin City was a mini-comeback for him). These two cats arose during a time in the '90's when out of the box indie movies were getting attention. I think what did them in was their resultant fame (it's tough to live under the spotlight as a creative person) and the flood of crappy indie movies that aped their stuff.
The huge directors of today: Christopher Nolan, Peter Jackson, Guillermo Del Toro, Cuaron and Snyder will likely fade away as well---unless they can stay productive and relevant. -
...the defense: "Well, go out and make your own movie then". What a stupid, lame statement.
If that held in any other field, then we couldn't criticize or comment on books, music, politics, business or anything else. -
its precisely because we HAVE seen ""The Guns of Navarone", "The Dirty Dozen", or half of the films its having fun with" that we can see just how shitty IB is and how great it COULD HAVE BEEN. MORON.
-
You are annoying. No one finds your posts the least bit entertaining. At least DGDB brings the funny. You, a copy cat retard who can't even think up an original name, are not funny. It's annoying to have to sift through your shit to find talkbackers who have posts worth reading.
-
..touche! Its Tarantinos' turn to toss his hat in the WWII genre...plus the Fuhrers in it..im pretty excited about Quentins take on Hitler..also that shot with the guy running full bore w/ the machine gun..that looks pretty cool (as in aint it cool)
-
I've made some short films and written some features. I'm studying for a Masters in Screenwriting. So believe me when I say I'm qualified to give my opinion on this film. It looks ass.
-
That's all I ever hear. And, honestly, it's bullshit. That's just bitching for the sake of bitching. If you're going to shit on a director shit on Eli fucking Roth or Michael Bay or Paul Worthless Shit Anderson because then it's deserved.
-
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
-
I get paid to watch shit like this. It's shit. I would never in a million years pay money to see something as boring as this film was. Really, really boring film.
-
A 1/2 hr PR for agents/studios to prime the machine. It's to hollywood what FOX NEWS is to republicans-nothing more than pure, unadulterated PR with a glossy filter on the plastic people they call hosts. Eeewwww!
-
Jun 21, 2009 12:42:07 PM CDT
Shot his Wad with Pulp and Brown...only Ego and Smack keep him g
by conspiracy
I predict this is the movie where Hollywood will turn on him. If he was smart he saved enough from Pulp and Brown to live off for the rest of his life...but he seems far to into the lifestyle to have done that.Oh well...if he didn't burn his Bridges at Blockbuster he's always got that going for him
-
Wow! Thats a fitting defense of the shit stain of cinema.

TARANTINO NEEDS TO LEARN HOW TO ENTERTAIN AN AUDIENCE
by ayatollahsexyback
instead of entertaining just himself.
-
Johnny Knoxville as the star?
-
It's a shame all those non-American Jews were such pussies, if they could have bagged as many scalps as the Basterds they wouldn't have had to get all gassed and shit. Maybe this is bothering me more than usual because I was literally just at Yev Vashem last week. Oh well, I guess I'll go watch an Ilsa movie to calm my nerves.
-
He's in a war called world war II. Brad pitt smirks, now he smiles. Brad Pitt hits something. We're ET and we think you're too dumb to understand trailers.
-
The fact that a QT film is being promoted on ET says it all.
-
I don't think Rodriguez was ever on Tarantino's creative level. He just drew a lot of talent by association from the guy. It helped that he made El Mariachi for $7000, and that Desperado seemed like he was charting a similar course to Tarantino's one two punch of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Then they made Four Rooms and From Dusk Till Dawn. Nevermind that Tarantino's contributions to both of these films were much better than Rodriguez's. After that, though? Different story. The Faculty could have been directed by any number of 90s studio filmmakers, it didn't even try to hide the fact that it was Invasion of the Body Snatchers: Class of Kevin Williamson. The Spy Kids series, Shark Boy and Lava Girl, whatever that latest one is called: stricken from the record for being kiddie shit. Once Upon a Time in Mexico was a mess. Which leaves us with Sin City and Grindhouse, again both Tarantino collaborations. I give him credit for making Sin City as it was meant to be made, but it seems like his role was mostly technical where Frank Miller was supplying most of the decades old creative juice. Planet Terror was fun, but no one is calling it anything more than goofy entertainment. He's got an upcoming slate that's longer than his existing CV but seems too ADD and enabled by his garage studio to sit down and do one thing properly. Anyhow...
-
Tarantino at least seems to care what films get his director stamp on them. In my mind, Death Proof is his only real questionable (as in not certifiably great) solo movie so far and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt until I can at least see IB and form a proper opinion on it.
-
Technically, the guy is astounding. Both of them would work better together - Tarantino writing, Rodriguez directing.
-
Rodriguez is the better production manager, maybe. Depends on what you think a director is supposed to do. On one hand there's the "running the show" aspect, which Rodriguez seems to be good at. This involves coordinating all aspects of the production, people skills, getting the bugger made. The more important part to me, and the part that seems to separate the production managers from the auteurs, is the part that has to do with creative responsibility. The director calls every shot that appears on screen. If he thinks he has the goods, he's taking responsibility for whatever praise or criticism is to come. The director's job is to make a large crew of people doing drastically different things create something of artistic value. And when the images are captured and arranged in a method that tells a story, the director is taking the final creative responsibility for the product. "Directed by" means "Hello, my name is ____________ and I am giving you my personal stamp of approval that my movie is good."
-
I said he was a better director. QT is a better writer. Combined, they'd make a better film.
-
Ass models.
-
Talky-talky bullshit from a has-been.
-
Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards may be a decent movie, but comparing them to past WWII 'mission movies', The Guns of Navarone and The Dirty Dozen will remain classics after Bastards is long forgotten.
Pitt may come off fine in this flick, but there's no comparison between Pitt and Eli Roth vs. Gregory Peck and Anthony Quinn.
I know that Tarantino is way talented, which annoys me that he keeps making homage, tongue in cheek movies. I'd be first in line at a theater if he directed, say, a straight ahead genre epic without the '70's drive-thru movie influences. -
If we're never gonna top THE CLASSICS. Why make art then, if Michaelangelo painted the sixtine chapel when he was like 17.
-
I agree and I would love to see that someday.
-
...because you can create modern classics. Case in point: Saving Private Ryan is in the same pantheon as Guns of Navarone. It also proved that Spielberg despite his years in the movie business is still innovative. The opening beach landing sequence was amazing and has since been copied by countless filmmakers, right down to the film stock and exposure.
-
I remember the first time I saw Private Ryan was my first experience with surround sound, i think a laser disc, thought the bullets were flying next to me. What a film.
-
Wowy...peeps haven't even seen this on yet & theyv'e already marooned her to the bottom of the ocean flo! Hillarious. Atleast good ole' Brad Pitt's got faith in the man. Now, while I am & always will be a huge fan of Tarantino, from start to finish of his career, his style keeps adjusting & for better or worse it throws his critics & his fans into an uproar from time to time. No matter how you see it...he is working on improving. The man is four or five films into his career & he's already had 3 hits. Personally...Jackie Brown did it for me the most…thing is…I’m not really sure what people want or expect from QT. If you’ll watch QT’s flix for what they are (cerebral one on one character battles/dialogue fests) instead of what you want them to be (action heavy blockbusters w/boatloads of gratuitous violence & wot not) you might not have such harsh thoughts & opinions on his body of work. That being said…everyone is entitled to an opinon but in the end, like him or not, the man is talented & has & will produce flix of cinematic importance. No one can honestly say that Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill 1 & 2, & even Jackie Brown weren’t full of amazing character interaction & depth. I even dug on his little director's bit in Sin City. Now...whether or not Inglorious Basterds lives up to the previous war flix...that's all up to the critics...but I can't see myself not liking this one. We shall see.
-
That's always a stupid deflection of criticism. One does not need to be able to produce art in order to critique it. You just need to have experienced a superior work in the medium, here film, and be able to state why it is superior.
-
Believe it or not, you can see both. Big Secret: the theater will be happy to sell you tickets to both. You can watch both. You can like both. You can hate both. You can like one and hate the other. You can like one a little, the other a lot, hate one a lot and like the other a little.Otherwise, I would have seen my one movie at age 3 when my parents took me to see a re-release of THE JUNGLE BOOK with THE WORLD'S GREATEST ATHLETE as a second feature at the drive in.
-
I can't watch this. It's lagging like hell.
-
When he started painting the Sistine Chapel's ceiling, which it took four years to do.
Just wanted to set the record straight (plus I just saw "The Agony and the Ecstasy" again). -
It's comedy! Hilarious!
-
Never gonna happen.
Oh yeah- it happened like ten fucking years ago.
From Dusk till Dawn. -
Damn this totally fucking boring one-trick pony and his dumb followers to hell.
-
is no better than reality television, Spencer Pratt, Melrose Place, Heidi Montag, Lauren Conrad and cunts everywhere
-
I call bullshit on 90% of you fuckers . You dipshits haven't even seen the movie .But you douchebags just like being douchebags for the sake of being douchebags .I guaranfuckingtee you hypocrites will all see this movie
-
Quentin ... I am worried about you. This smells like your Waterloo.
I lov'd (100%) your pre-Y2K work. Luuuved Jackie Brown.
Loved 30% of KILL BILL.
Loved 15% of DEATH PROOF.
Really believed you were just joshin' us, till your next masterpiece.
Read your Basterds script.
Ohhhh, Quentin. Worried about you.
Cheers. -
hahahahahahahaha hahahaha hahahahahahaha
i have read some stupid shit on this site over the years but that takes the prize for the silliest load of nonsense ever posted here. -
I am not amused.
-
Quentin will never make another Pulp Fiction, just like dinosaurs will never look better than they did in Jurassic Park. Now, can anybody explain that to me? i mean, I caught King Kong on TV the other day and jeez...
-
seriously suggest zak snyder is better too? I take back what I said about rodriguez being better being the silliest thing ever said here. Anyone who thinks snyder is a better director is a complete moron.
-
Using that or any modern war for exploitation has never really grabbed me. Oh well, I don't really go out for Tarantino anyway.

by ayatollahsexyback
This is an outrage.
-
I am super pumped for this film.
-
I've also got to stick my oar in here as well: I fucking hate comments like that. So I can't criticise a book unless I'm a published author can I? I can't say a song is shit unless I've had a top 10 hit? If I go to a public toilet and there's shit all over the floor and the urinals are smashed to pieces, am I not allowed to criticise because I've never been a toilet cleaner?
-
It was crazy i tell you! The joint was falling apart with bombs and bullets buzzing around us so much, those damn russkies were so close they were practically eating our balls with some salted herring and borsht soup.

To answer your questions, in order. Yes you may. Yes you may. No. You need to walk a mile in that shit, man.
-
The last few movies sucked.
-
I wasn't crazy about Death Proof. But I liked pretty much everything that came before it quite well.
-
there was one for Mother's Day, WHAT GIVES?!!?!?
-
Is his lack of productivity. When he first came out he seemed like a Script Machine. Two he directed himself (2 & 1/2 if you count Four Rooms), and three directed by other people. Then he adapts an Elmore Leonard novel. Then we have a SIX YEAR wait until Kill Bill Vol 1. And another 3 years between Vol 2 and Grindhouse.By taking so long between projects he makes every film he does seem like a MAJOR EVENT, and some of them simply aren't going to be able to live up to that.It's not just that people in his age group like Rodriguez and Kevin Smith have been more productive than he has.EVERYONE has been more productive than he has.Scorsese,Spielberg,the Coen Brothers, Woody Allen, Spike Lee, Ridley Scott etc. etc. Those guys are ALWAYS making movies. Some of them are great. Some of them are good. Some of them are mediocre. But they keep cranking them out.That's what a director is supposed to do.I hope this is a good movie. It doesn't look like it's going to be a great one. And if it's as mediocre as Death Proof, he will have given us two half assed movies in a row and taken FIVE YEARS to do it.
-
Made 3 movies in the last 20 years of his life. I don't think that's Tarantino's problem. I think he needs to lay of the weed just a little. Death Proof was not so great, but the others before were all stellar IMO. Jackie Brown by far the best. Anyone who's seen that and Pulp Fiction and thinks the man has no talent should just wait for Transformers 2.

like the weinsteins would ever allow holocaust mockery
by martinlutherkrangjr
im sure that the weinsteins, being the biggest jews in hollywood, would love to put out a movie that mocks the holocaust. people need to chill on this holocaust shit. we got it, nazis are evil. if i see another fucking schindlers list or boy in the striped pajamas or jacob the liar i am going to flip. holocaust movies are emotional pornography.
-
The guy has been severely overrated ever since...bloated screenplays (loves to hear his characters talk) and stylized violence (rehashing grindhouse trash from the 70s) does not make an artist great...can we just get over him already?
-
...It actually begins to diminish the impact of the event itself. There are other emotionally charged moments in human history to explore...how about the Native American holocaust? What, too controversial? Jewish holocaust=fodder for hip art. Native American holocaust=taboo.
-
for once in a great while. RESPECT to QT. ALL of his movies rock (not so much Death Proof...should of been a 1 hr. drive in flick) Anyways, God bless QT for the quality and skills. I think Pulp and Jackie Brown are amazing.
-
Because most of these movies are American made, we like to point out the atrocities of other countries. We Americans are hypocrites who don't enjoy pointing our fingers at ourselves.
-
It's not that it's taboo so much as it is people caring less.
-
Good points--taboo was probably the wrong word and gives too much credit to America. Instead, we like to bury our past and highlight other country's dirt...and many Americans do care less about how we got here.
-
Sadly it is true. Most Americans could give a fuck less that we pretty much wiped an entire race of people off the planet to create a country of "our own". That's why I always get pissed when people bitch about immigrants and this is our country bullshit.
-
...called "Inglorious Indians" about Native Americans who kill the people crossing the plains as revenge on the American scum who wiped out their tribes...I'll have a rockin' soundtrack taken from the 60s and 70s ("Cherokee People," anyone?), and have my Indians talk about what a quarter pounder of buffalo meat is called in Europe...give me the Oscar now.
-
is shocking to viewers partly because A) it was perpetrated upon white people. We're not used to seeing that. And B) it was in 1930's Germany. It's one thing to see Native Americans massacred in the lawless confines of the newly settled west. It's quite another to see systematic genocide in what was supposed to be a civilized society.
-
...no country wants to point out the terrible stuff they've done. France didn't allow paths of glory to be shown in the country for 20 years.
-
is quite shocking...I mean, you have nazis throwing bodies into furnaces and then going home to dinner with the wife and kids...sick, sick stuff, yet these are "normal" people like you and I...the human condition is definitely fucked up...
-
I'd actually prefer directors who only did a movie every three or four years and knock it out of the park every time to the Scott/Spielberg/Spderbergh approach of shooting a new movie every three months and having MAYBE a third of them be really good and the rest ranging from okay to terrible. Yeah, I wish we had more QT movies to enjoy, but he hasn't made a movie I've disliked to date (yes, Death Proof was awesome too), so he can take as long as he fucking wants between projects (as long as it's not TWELVE FUCKING YEARS like Jimmy Cameron)
-
I don't need anymore of those kinds of movies.
-
than imdb.com. disrespectful fanboys dissin' on Tarantino because they feel they've outgrown what someone has referred to in an earlier post as "retro violence." That's the same shit that insprired dozens of flicks post PF. BTW, Fuck ET. I heard Angie blew her nose, go gleefully film it, jerk-offs.
-
their wrongdoings. It just seems that so many in this country don't even realise what happened with the indians. It's like a mass denial. That's just something that's always struck a nerve with me.
-
Isn't that Rob Zombie's new project?
-
you hit the nail on the head with that one, dude.
-

-
It's only when a business is in dire trouble that they overuse the "We're #1!" shtick.
-
I see him as having one certifiable classic that will stand the test of time, and that's Pulp Fiction. I didn't see Reservoir Dogs until a few years ago, and it was fine for what it is (a genre picture), but I imagine it was more impressive in the early 1990s. The Kill Bills, like his other films, are visually impressive, though I had no desire to see them again. I would be impressed if Tarantino made a movie we didn't expect him to make. Basterds just looks like more of the same Tarantino, only this time set in WWII. A lot of old Hollywood directors, like Hitch and Ford, had a distinctive visual look to their films. Tarantino seems to be in this same position where his films look like "Tarantino films." I will say this for Scorsese: he proved years ago that he's not a one-trick pony. Throughout his career he's been willing to challenge himself. I saw The King of Comedy a few nights ago on TCM, and was blown away at how well it's held up (and how relevant it is today). The King of Comedy was his follow-up to Raging Bull. Talk about two completely different visual looks. And thinking later in his career, a movie like Kundun just seems like a real risk, and even if it isn't a masterpiece, it does demonstrate the director's versatility and his willingness to take chances, which I find admirable and exciting. But I don't see Tarantino taking many chances. I see him staying with what made him successful. The only problem is, what was impressive in 1994 has become hackneyed and cliched fifteen years later. Perhaps Basterds will be more of a departure than I've expecting. But based on these trailers, I'm seeing second verse, same as the first.

I'm not a fan or critic either, but from my perspective, Tarantino "supporters" would have the burden of proof to show why he deserves praise at this point in his career. I'll grant 'Pulp Fiction', but I just don't see his recent films as holding up critically or in the collective consciousness of future viewers...
-
Good Points. But I still say it's early for him. He's only made what, like five films. Most of Scorsese's early films were similar in a lot of ways. As I said before, if he can put the bong down for awhile, I think he has potential for a Scorsese type career. Although he seems to be stuck in all this 70's B-movie homage stuff. Death Proof was not a great leap in the right direction.

just admit it; you know it's true, and you will feel better for it. doesn't make you a traitor
-
Jackie Brown to be quite underrated. Also, it didn't entirely have that familiar Tarantino feel.
-
is Tarantino's best. People rarely mention it when it comes to Tarantino. It's always Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction.
-
I should've stated in my previous I believe it to be his best. IMHO, I just like PF more. The signature direction of it. I can always respect whatever opinion. Not an ounce of troll in me.

T.Burton. The pompous ass has about 18 different dancing animated skellingtons in every flick. Aim your guns at him...

well harry - if he's such a good friend of yours as you say he i
by flatulence
Then where's YOUR fucking exclusive preview/trailer from your "good friend" Quentin? If you were ever wondering how low this site has got, between Script Girl, DrewMcW leaving and the total lack of any real scoops, this is your smoking gun.
-
True story.
-
shit I forgot about that one, I love it. Wrong twice.
-
As well as FDTD. I acknowledge QT's writing before his directorial talents.
-
Would have liked to see his version of Natural Born Killers. Even though I love Stone's film.
-
Vincenzo Natali for the ALIEN prequel!!!! He made CUBE and it's one of the best films ever made on low budget
-
That's pretty much why Reservoir Dogs is my favorite too, i'm a sucker for bank robbery movies. Pulp Fiction had some crime but the rest is a bunch of junkies and mafiosos which i personally dont give a shit about same goes for Jackie Robinson and the Kill Bill movies were nauseating in their over indulgence.

The problem with the "Hit One Out of the Park Every 3 to 4 Years Plan" is: What if he BUNTS?I want more films from filmmakers I like, not less. He's directed 7 films in 17 years, and that's if you count Kill Bill twice, and we all know that's just one long movie. So let's say Six.Scorsese has also given us 7 feature films in the same 17 years. (1992-2008). If you throw in the documentaries and concert films from the same period his number goes up to a dozen or more.The Coen Brothers have done nine. Robert Altman also did nine and almost that many things for TV. Robert Rodriguez has done 10. Ridley Scott has done 11. Spike Lee has done 11 and numerous docs for TV. Spielberg has an even dozen to Tarantino's six.And the Champ? Woody Allen has made SEVENTEEN films in the past 17 years. Are all of them masterpieces? Of course not. But a nice mix of comedies and dramas, three period pieces and a musical is nothing to sneeze at. He didn't make us wait 6 years for any of them. And he has yet to make a film about a guy who kills women with his car. It's amazing how prolific you can be when your art is more important to you than groupies and drugs.
-
See, I like this film. But- I'm not blind to it's flaws. To begin with, the very fact that it's wholesale ripped off from City of Fire automatically diminishes it. Whoever said that it had a different impact in the early 90's is spot on- because it got banned, which, in hindsight, was the best thing that ever happened to it and QT.
-
The guy himself creeps me out, but his work ethic is second to none. A film a year - and that's not counting all the ones that get cut off just short of production for financial reasons.
-
never got all the hatred for that movie.

...about this guy who is an obsessive movie fan who works in a video store. One day he gets it in his head to start writing his own scripts slyly ripping off great obscure movies that most other people haven't seen. He gets lucky and gets to make his own movie where he again slyly rips off other great obscure movies. He's suddenly lauded as an outsider boy genius wunderkind whereupon he makes his greatest film and wins the Hairy Palm Du Jour at SoupCannes France, now audiences are catching on to his secret stealing but buy into his take that they are 'homages' because it is the fin de siecle and recombinant nostalgiac art has become hip because the current zeitgeist is that we're all gonna die in a Y2K tragedy and gee, aint it fun to reference all of humanities prior achievemants. Act 2- The young guy ain't so young anymore, whereas he was once the hungry outsider, he's now THE ultimate insider and loses himself in coke, booze and self-importance. He wakes up six years later to make DESTROY ROY vol. 1 and 2 where he resurrects the career of MichaelDavidHutchenceCarradine and shows that he has honed his regurgitave style to the point of effortless emptiness. Flashy and successful but something is now missing. Act 3 The once wunderkind is now a sad, aging, bloated shell of exhausted hubris. His talent and vision have left him, all the self-referencing having spiralled inward to it's obvious inevitable conclusion of having finally eaten itself as in now passe'. With movies like MORTALITY IMPOSSIBLE, a B-Movie car ego fueled disaster, and GLORYHOLEUS RETARDS, a revenge movie set at the gay special olympics starring Drab Shitt, the once champion of geekdom has lost all of his fan love, lost his mind, and lost his soul. Hollywood accepts him as another permanent residence of the Hotel California but has moved on to the next hot young thang. Ending shot is the protagonist in his final Elvis in Las Vegas phase, weighing 400 lbs. directing Eddie Murphy movies til his inevitable death all alone by pill fueled cardiac arrest in his Vegas mansion masturbating to porno mags on the crapper. Fade to black.

Pitts performance seems a little off tho
-
by you nerds. The world got it right, Pulp Fiction shits all over it.
-
NOW WE HAVE TO ENDURE HIS FUCKING PSUEDO-FUNNY, ALL CAP RAMBLINGS ONCE MORE! I GUESS WE REALLY DON'T "HAVE TO" SOMEONE COULD BANISH HIS ASS BACK TO 2002 WHERE HE BELONGS. I GUESS I SHOULD TALK, RIGHT? BUT I JUST HATE THAT FUCKER! I'D RATHER READ CRAZY ASS SHIT FROM TODD INSTEAD! HELL, I'D RATHER WATCH BEAUTICIAN AND THE BEAST THAN READ COMMENTS BY BUZZ MAVERIK!

THE ONLY TRUE HOLOCAUST WAS ELI ROTH'S BIRTH.

But you got one detail wrong....his cause of death. We all know Quentin is going to go out like Carradine, hanging in the closet with a bloated purple dick that looks like a dead possum in the sun.
-
How ya doin'? What's on yer mind? How was yer weekend? Have some coffee! You want a bagel? They're fresh.
-
I brought this on myself.
-
LOL. That works, too. Add scattered extreme close up pictures of Uma Thurman's feet all around his corpse and I think that's a wrap.
-
Rodriguez is a good editor and special effects supervisor (getting it done with bubble gum and strings)
Tarrantino is a good writer of scenes, he's a great second pass author who can enrich dialogue once someone who is a good storyteller lays down the foundation of a solid (non fragmented/episodic) narrative. Tarrantino is a also a good director of acting (especially intense over the top scenes). He's also a great musical director (picking great temp music, songs, moods, etc). -
'The Expendables' is a badass idea that's way beyond its expiration date...
-
You were all jerking off to 'Pulp' when you in your sandbox years of geek filmdom. No, I would bet my life on it.

It doesn't matter whether it be Dane Cook or Tarantino...
by itsjust_notcool_anymore_baby
Fanboys only feel comfortable ripping apart their once almost creepy admiration...I bet the haters use to have names like 'Mushroomcloudlayin'motherfucker.'
-
My money is going to Sly's movie.
-
I second that. Basturds sold out and got lame Brad Pitt.
-
Because it has Brad Pitt?
-
Just like the world butchers the embarrassment that is ET.
-
That black dude with the creepy teeth on Entertainment Tonight needs to die alongside Mary hart's yammering maw.
-
Really? Kill Bill was a suck fest? I can see people not liking it, but it wasn't that bad.

"tarantino with chick leads=suckfests!"...FALSE.
by itsjust_notcool_anymore_baby
...Pam Grier anyone?
-
Never.
-
Grindhouse sucked. Never seen it (other than maybe 15 min. of 'Death Proof'). IMO I don't think he's ever made a "bad" movie either.
-
My complaint is he takes too long to make them.I've seen nothing on Inglorious Basterds that explains why he had to sweat over this script for so many years.It's not like he had to do research. This will be a cartoon that has nothing to do with WWII or actual history. He's been writing it since before KILL BILL and DEATH PROOF.If it turns out to be the greatest thing he's ever written I'll be the first one to say so. Everything I've seen so far just makes it look violent and silly for no apparent reason.
-
"ET" = ha ha! vaccuous braindead people without a clue.
I liked the "Basterds" footage, though. Scary and brutal, yet funny at the same time. Not an easy combination to pull off. I'm thinking of Tarantino's latest as an alt-history WWII story, in the same vein as an S.M. Stirling, Harry Turtledove, or H.G Wells novel, but a little slicker and bloodier.
I think it could be pretty damn good. -
This is my first time sifting through the comments section on this site, holy shit you motherfuckers need a life. I'll no longer be wasting my time here, bye losers.
-
Despite Brad Pitt's bad accent (and it's bad), I'm still optimistic about this one almost strictly based on the subject matter, which I find really cool (especially the altered reality bit). But take a close look at what we can see of Robert Richardson's work so far. In those two minutes, we can almost go ahead and confirm that the movie will deliver visually.
-
With no more DuhVarth posts, what's the fucking point? Subtitles_Off - I thought this week was brownies? Shit.
-
Come back, show us lowly creatures the way!
-
I'll tell you why I think the "Basterds" film title is misspelled. Dyslexic Quentin typed it that way. Weinstein (or someone) corrected him. Quentin threw a hissy fit, & said "I'm QT, and whatever I type is gospel!" So ... typo now replicated on posters & press releases, now & forever ... Am I right, Quentin?
