International INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS trailer is pretty damn awesome!
Hey folks, Harry here and if you've been following me on Twitter - you probably know I've had the mother of all sore throats and have had a glorious day spitting up neon colored oysters. But I'm on the rebound, feeling much better. Especially after watching this International Trailer for INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS. This is the first trailer that I feel conveys the sort of vibe I am expecting from the film. It'll be out soon enough for all of us to love, hate and discuss. I can't wait - I've had to watch some pretty crap films recently, need something to break the streak soon.

I'm not exactly sure you should be hitching your wagon to this star. The tone looks uneven. I hope I'm wrong. I want a good Tarantino movie again.
-
Or maybe even great.
-
I made it. I obviously have no life. Cant wait to see this....love the trailer. Tarantino has a set of stones, no?
-
Maybe next year. Or not.
-
are all of the women in the process of getting table-fucked as they deliver their lines?
-
I can't wait to see it! I think each trailer has improved upon the last.
-
I feel like he's starting to let us down. Grindhouse was very poor. Hope this is good.
-
What the hell is he doing in there???
-
This trailer finally make me eager to see this movie, though the first reviews qualify it of too chatty. Still, a minor Tarantino movie is always a decent one.

Not one trailer for this movie linked here plays properly
by Thunderbolt Ross
Maybe it's because there are 4000 ads running in the background.
-
The basterds all look quite bland and forgettable.
-
If it's anything like the script I read.
-
...fetishists? Really? Does everyone worship Bale around this goddam place?
-
I like it much better than the teaser, that's for sure.
-
...genocide.
-
to launch into a Dr. Evil tirade, or maybe even a little Fat Bastard. Which would kinda fit, except for the spelling.

This is not minor Tarantino...
by waitingimpatientlyforingloriousbastards
Deathproof was minor Tarantino, but I thought it was thoroughly entertaining, especially as part of Grindhouse.
-
For those who "can't wait to see it" - why? I'm not going to totally trash it without seeing it, but the trailers have been a constant source of eye-rolling for me, so I'm just wondering why anyone wants a "fun" WWII movie from Tarantino? With Mike fucking Myers doing his Dr. Evil voice? What is it about this film that appeals to you?
-
Much like Robin Williams, I prefer seeing him in non-comedic roles. Good actor.
-
Just sayin'
-
Tarantino's hitched his wagon to Eli Roth's falling star, looks like. Flat, dull and desperate, this looks like someone doing a bad impression of Tarantino doing his bad impressions of everyone. It's all been shit since Reservoir Dogs. Goodbye, QT.
-
is what some quote-whore will say in their review to try and get their name on the film's advertising, or, dare to dream, on the DVD packaging.

It looks entertaining...in a blood splattering kind of way.
by JDanielP
That's all I got.
-
Looks screwier than expected, but that actually adds to the appeal somehow. I've never seen a Tarantino movie I haven't enjoyed and I don't see this one ending that run.
-
Best trailer yet.
-
makes me NOT want to see this now. Bring on Sly's movie instead.
-
aw boo hoo... you are mad that a director can do whatever he wants (a.k.a. have creative control)? Who the fuck are you, Tom Rothman???
-
I thought this movie was supposed to be a kind of spaghetti western-styled movie about a secret Nazi-killing group. . .similar in tone to the Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, but more brutal. Except after watching that trailer, it feels like the movie is more like a parody than an actual historical action-drama.
-
Everything I have read/seen about Expendables feels right on the money. Everything I've seen for this feels like shit. Probably has a lot to do with Eli Roth's involvement.
-
Oh brother. This whole "social networking" shit is so fucking gay...and OLD! A few years from now millions will be embarrassed about using Twitter, Facebook and the now dying Myspace.<p>Stupid.
-
Expendables already owns these Basterd's by the balls.
-
A drama? A comedy? A dramedy? A piece of shit? Likely.
-
lol, For all the people saying this looks like a shit movie i'm sure transformers 2 will still be playing in august and you can all see it for the 10th time while i see "Basterds".
-
...mike myers still looks like one of his awful comedy characters.
-
is attrocious. I'm blushing for him.
-
Why are people bringing up expendables in this section? why would ANYONE ever mention a Tarantino movie and a Sly Stallone Movie in the same sentence. One is arthouse cool while this other is mindless action. Not that either one is better but not even comparable
-
...But Tarantino hasn't made a bad film yet so he'll get my money.
-
but that's not saying much. Pitt's accent still sounds distracting (especially his "Nazi" pronunciation). <p> Some of the camera shots/movements seem recycled from Pulp Fiction (the lipstick shot) and Kill Bill (the fast zoom/track). Maybe this isn't going to be the film where Tarantino's style evolves. Starting to doubt that will ever happen.
-
Surely that broke the shitty film run? Public Enemies too. 2 good films this summer.
-
If its QT Lite (Jackie Brown / Death Proof), what's his next epic (PulpFiction, Kill Bills) going to be? Assuming he has something epic left up his violent yet hip sleeve.
-
*Insert hip Tarantino bashings here* lay off QT. The man is just suffering from a connection of dirt weed is all. Go jerk off to Bayformers 2: The search for more money.
-
The lines "The goal: to blow up the basket" and "That's a bingo!" were great lines. At least Tarantino can still write some good one-liners. In terms of the flick, this does look really good. Clearly, this isn't a realistic WWII portrayal. It's not trying to be, so I'm cool with it. As long as they don't have Germany winning WWII, or Hilton doing cartwheels, I'll take the flick tounge-in-cheek.
-
A V A T A R - FUCKING Tarantino's EYEBALLS in 2009!!!<p>nothing else matters
-
Jackie Brown is Tarantino's best film in my opinion next to Reservoir Dogs. But I do think its going to be QT Lite in the vein of Death Proof and that's not necessarily a bad thing. There are parts of this trailer that look cool but others not so much. I really dig that Tarantino cast Bruhl in this. Lenin is awesome.
-
go see the expendables with all the newly came back action stars(yeah...rocky balboa was pure gold).
-
Agreed about Avatar. This year is starting to look pretty shit film wise. But I'm really excited about Avatar, Book Of Eli and Where The Wild Things Are. I expect all three of those to masterpieces.
-
and spell out the real storyline.
-
Jason Lee is going to be awesome in this!
-
...the Spider-man 8 teaser trailer in the expendables. get mommy to drive you.
-
I meant Johnny Knoxville! Still can't believe QT wanted him as the star for his movie.
-
He has been average since PULP FICTION. I think his tone has veered towards comedy a little too much and that is his problem. I think PULP FICTION is fucking hilarious, but it isn't "comic" in any way. KILL BILL and DEATH PROOF are more intentionally goofy without enough drama, I hope that INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS is less comedy and more drama.
-
as a british soldier. Great actor.
-
Bwahahahahahhaahahahhahahahahaha!!!!!

Look, when it comes to this Summer, this is all we got!
by The Reluctant Austinite
I just looked ahead over the next two months and this is the only thing other than "Harry Potter" that has any interest for me. I wasn't sure about this based on the first trailer, and the word from Cannes is only luke warm, but this new trailer looks like more of what I was hoping for. The only thing left in this whole Summer season that has me a little curious at all is Rob Zombie's "Halloween 2" which will open the same day as the 3D "Final Destination" for some reason. With all this open space this Summer, you'd think those two wouldn't want to cut each others' throats. I know, I know. Most of you don't give a shit about Zombie's sequel and I completely understand. But in this Summer of slim pickens, I've got to take what I can get.
-
Not enough drama for ya in Kill Bill? A woman's baby has been stolen away from her by her crazed killer boyfriend. She's raped in a hospital while sleeping by two white trash thugs. Her fiancee is murdered. She's buried alive. No drama?
-
"you just say bingo."
-
i just wanna see jews kill nazis
-
looked a little 'zany?',thought it would be played straight....
-
Isn't that a bit redundant?
-
and sequels, and not good ones at that (I liked Star Trek, liked not LOVED), this can't come to the theater soon enough. I'll take even weak Tarantino over the crap thats been released recently. And I'll be lucky if The Hurt Locker gets a wide release in my city, so don't ask.
-
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 is now replicated on posters & press releases, now & forever ... Am I right, Quentin?
-
I believe Mike Myers' accent is intentionally atrocious.

For the Love of God and Lovers of Film, Give Me Solomon Kane!
by The Reluctant Austinite
This Summer is taking its toll on me. I desperately want to see something I'm looking forward to. Harry and Quint have already seen the movie I most want to see, "Solomon Kane," but there is no U.S. release date in site and not even a trailer to tease me! Nothing! Harry, save us! See if the stingy producer will let you show an exclusive trailer or something! I know you liked the movie!
-
"...day as the 3D "Final Destination" for some reason. With all this open space this Summer, you'd think those two wouldn't want to cut each others' throats."<p>It makes even less sense having a movie with "Halloween" in the title opening in any month that isn't October.
-
I really liked Star Trek, but that's it. Nothing else has done anything for me. Compared to last summer, which had quite a few entertaining films that climaxed with Dark Knight, this summer is just pathetic.
-
Mike Myers looks like a pedophile.
-
I've changed my mind about this movie. Was not interested not interested at all. But now that the summer has sucked so badly. I'm giving it a chance based on this trailer alone. So thank you for posting it.
-
Look at Jackie Brown and look at this...I love ya QT but this looks like campy crap...You have done 3 movies that I consider brilliant, more than most directors so I guess we shouldnt complain. Still, looks BAD. Oh, and Harry, NO ONE CARES about your obesity related ailments. Really we dont give a shit about you whatsoever, so stick to the topic at hand. Oh, and your TWITTER posts are some of the DUMBEST, GAYEST, just fucking stupidest stuff I have ever written! You truly are a fucking mental midget.....
-
anyone who doesn't think so can swallow a dollop of TOTAL FUCKING DESTRUCTION.
-
thats "stupidest stuff I have ever seen" god help me if I ever wrote that shite!
-
Seriously? Because it's Costnerific in its wandering. You have me curious now.
-
That's just the impression I get... because, if the trailer's any indication, the movie seems to embrace a heightened sense of absurdity.
-
Cause that's what it feels like from the trailer. Mike Myers doing an English Dr. Evil and Brad Pitt sounding so laughable with his 'let's kill some Nazis' dialogue. Tarantino is laughing at us all, I promise you. This is his Snakes On A Plane!!
-
don't act like comedies. Stop trying to be funny and just be. This'll be more 'funny' then it should be. It will start strong then QT will go to much with the comedy. He's got Lucasitis. All yes men around him, no contemporaries to say 'I don't like it.'
-
he actually comes across as a nice guy trying to make some decent genre films. I hated Cabin fever but I actually really liked both Hostel films but regardless, he's not the issue here. The issue is that Tarantino doesn't appear to have a genuine, original bone in his creative body and at this point all he can do is ape everything else and put his own slant on the material. For me personally, Death Proof was a painful, pointless experience and nothing regarding this flick has looked good either bur regardless, I expect Harry to gush and gush when it gets released.
-
More movies about US soldiers committing war crimes!
-
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN was on cable the other night and as respectful to WWII that movie was this movie seems to not be taking the grim subject matter seriously. This trailer seems like one of those old Captain America and Bucky comic books where Cap' lobs hand grenades in Nazi tents and they chase the Red Skull and the whole thing is reductive and nationalistic. I would rather Tarantino have taken any number of true heroic stories of WWII and turned that into a great movie. This trailer is just sooo cartoon-ey and self-aware cocky cool I can just imagine Quentin salivating, telling himself how much he's gonna get laid for this one. Meh.
-
Looks like crapola! I'm the only one who thinks Brad Pitt's character seems "off"?
-
...if a group of soldiers was killing their officers like this...makes it hard for me to suspend the old disbelief.

maybe a lil too jokey, but of course, anything with brad pitt in it is a must watch for me
-
this is the best trailer yet! *spoiler* i just wish there was going to be more of the basterds in the film, as anyone who's read the script knows, they are actually just side players in this tale.

Oh well.... Everything he does cant be Jackie Brown.
by theycallmemrtibbs
Too Bad.
-
Every frame makes me want to see this movie less and less. Maybe because I've hit puberty, or because I don't have blind worship for a has-been director, or because I actually know what a good movie looks like...but this looks like shit.<p>
-
near the end of the trailer? k thanks...
-
or TONSILLITIS, maybe. I had a a really bad sore throat recently with flu like symptoms it was all on the left innerside. I couldn't get a lick or fluid down or food. 3 days later I suudnely felt really sick, and then I blacked out and hit the floor. I was rushed the hospital- They put me on IV feed Sodium Chloride and Clindimycin. The iv feed Clindi killed the pain in my throat before the iv bag was empty. I remained on Clindimycin antibiotics for a week and I'm all better, but my sister was recently diagnosed with mono, so I need to get screened. She complained of the same problems. Did you get this check out Mr. Red? You should. Don't fuck around with ceetain things. If you have Mono your spleen could explode, and you will either die or remain on blood thinners for the rest of your life until you die from a clot.
-
Little off today.
-
... he uses other people's stories and adds spiffy dialogue
-
to the Halloween II trailer Harry trashed. Then again, his review of Land of the Lost convinced me it might actually be funny and not only did I waste money on it, but my girlfriend got pissed off at me for taking her to see that piece of shit. Now I see why people here develop such a burning personal hatred for the man.
-
a few days before when I first noticed the soreness, my doctor tried to tell me it was all in my head. <P> I aint seeing that fucker again. they found bacterial cultures in the basck of my throat 3 days later at the E.R. but it still wasn't Strep, they said tonisillitis, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was mono at this point. I need to go get screened after the 4th.
-
WTF is wrong wiht me today. This is some wacky weed for sure.
-
Tarantino trashers are just trying to sound cool. The truth is very few filmmakers are as consistently cool as QT.
-
If you don't like Top Secret, then you don't like comedy. If you don't like comedy, then the terrorists have won. And if thats the case, then we all must face
-
was pretty fucking funny not gonna lie. i'll see it just for that scene.
-
So much for your DVD column this week, eh?
-
Can't wait for it to open, people will stop talking about it right away.
-
I like all the foreigners listed that I have no idea who they are.
-
but he can't so he's stuck with these retarded teenage masterbation gore porns.
-
It totally fucked up his behavior.
-
I think Pitts accent is pretty badass, imperfect it may be, but fun. I love that line "..an cousin, bidness iza boomin'" Definitely looking forward to this, but that trailer gave away too many cool moments, IMO
-
I cant take him seriously, he just looks like Goldmember

Read the script. it's fun, but needs more basterds. It was like watching the Dirty Dozen, but only having it focus on them 50% of the time, and much of that 50% not spent fighting.
-
I didn't think it was going to be as comedic as it looks in the trailer. It looks like a breezy WWII movie like Ocean's 11 was a breezy heist movie. Should have a George Clooney cameo as George "Danny" Patton.
-
I laughed so hard I cried.
-
"Izzat how you say das ez bingo!" Bruno accented German.<p> Basterds = Amateurs<p> Bale = The only fucking Pro in town.
-
Anyone else think this trailer looks... kinda cheap?<p> QT usually manages to bring in great looking movies at a reasonable price, but if it wasn't for Pitt's presence you'd think this was some DTV style shit.
-
That being said, honestly this movie looks really good to me. Don't get any of the hate (unless you guys actually saw it at Cannes and can confirm you didn't like it).

Guardian Cannes review:<p> Like the loyal German bourgeoisie in 1945, trying to keep patriotically cheerful despite the distant ominous rumblings of Russian tanks, we Tarantino fans have kept loyally optimistic on the Croisette this week. We ignored the rumourmongers, the alarmists and defeatists, and insisted that the Master would at the last moment fire a devastating V1 rocket of a movie which would lay waste to his, and our, detractors. But today the full catastrophe of his new film arrived like some colossal armour-plated turkey from hell. The city of our hopes is in flames.<p> Quentin Tarantino's cod-WW2 shlocker about a Jewish-American revenge squad intent on killing Nazis in German-occupied France is awful. It is achtung-achtung-ach-mein-Gott atrocious. It isn't funny; it isn't exciting; it isn't a realistic war movie, yet neither is it an entertaining genre spoof or a clever counterfactual wartime yarn. It isn't emotionally involving or deliciously ironic or a brilliant tissue of trash-pop references. Nothing like that. Brad Pitt gives the worst performance of his life, with a permanent smirk as if he's had the left side of his jaw injected with cement, and which he must uncomfortably maintain for long scenes on camera without dialogue.<p> And those all-important movie allusions are entirely without zing, being to stately stuff such as the wartime German UFA studio, GW Pabst etc, for which Tarantino has no feeling, displaying just a solemn Euro-cinephilia that his heart isn't in. The expression on my face in the auditorium as the lights finally went up was like that of the first-night's audience at Springtime for Hitler. Except that there is no one from Dusseldorf called Rolf to cheer us up.<p> Pitt plays Lt Aldo Raine, the leader of an anti-Nazi commando unit whose avowed mission is to get 100 Kraut scalps apiece; we see the scalpings in full, gruesome detail, yet that figure is entirely forgotten about by the end. Mélanie Laurent plays Shosanna Dreyfus, a beautiful young Jewish woman whose family were slaughtered by SS Col Hans Landa, played by Christoph Waltz. She got away and (somehow) attained not only a new identity, but also ownership of a Paris cinema which is to play host to the premiere of Dr Goebbels's latest propaganda movie, in the presence of the Führer himself. Her plan is to incinerate the entire first-night audience by bolting the doors and igniting her vast inflammable stock of nitrate film. Meanwhile Lt Raine has his own plans for killing Hitler at the movie theatre and the Brits get involved too, in the form of suave Michael Fassbender as Archie Hicox, a crack commando making contact with exotic spy Bridget von Hammersmark, played by Diane Kruger.<p> There are some nice-ish performances, particularly from Fassbender and Waltz, but everything is just so boring. I was hoping for Shosanna at least to get a satisfying revenge on the unspeakable Col Landa. But no. The two Hitler-assassination plots cancel each other out dramatically and the director's moderate reserves of narrative interest are exhausted way before the end. He should perhaps go back to making cheerfully inventive outrageous films like Kill Bill. Because Kill Adolf hasn't worked out.<p> • Peter Bradshaw is the Guardian's film critic
-
Saying QT has been downhill since RD makes no sense. Seriously, most directors would kill to make a movie 1/3 as good as JB.
-
And if you couldn't be fucked to read that whole post above then here are the choice comments to go on the poster:<p> "armor-plated turkey from hell"<p> "awful"<p> "achtung-achtung-ach-mein-Gott atrocious"<p> See y'all opening night!
-
Yeah I've been thinking that ever since we first heard about this. <P> This looks really bad, just stupid and boring. QT should have chosen Troma movies to make love to instead of unheard of 70s war flicks. That would have been more fun, Nazi Killing Troma style. Surf Nazis.
-
What? Thats not Brad Pitt, thats fucking Johnny Knoxville. You fucking idiot.
-
After some indulgent side trips (Grindhouse, Deathproof), Quentin Tarantino is back to form with this World War II fantasy fiasco. It’s mad, it’s bad and it’s thoroughly entertaining, with some of the most disciplined storytelling Tarantino has produced – even though it’s still nearly three hours long (152 minutes at The 2009 Cannes Film Festival) – taking him one step in the direction of the Coen Brothers style of black humour. <p> 4 stars (Screenwize) <p> If you couldn't read it all, a few comments: <p> "disciplined storytelling" <p> "back to form" <p><p> See y'all opening night!
-
Look at the last guy who probably said NO to QT? Roger Avery.
-
"After some indulgent side trips (Grindhouse, Deathproof)"<p> Ash0k you lead with innaccuracy. You can't cite the same fucking film twice as "indulgent side trips".<p> Also this line "with some of the most disciplined storytelling Tarantino has produced – even though it’s still nearly three hours long" smells rather suspicious. Fuck that it doesn't smell suspicious. It smells of BULLSHIT.
-
Fun to me!
-
you sound like a fuckin' fag dude... btw since when does casting a chick as a lead make it a chick movie? yet again, another fag statement. I'm not one to start shit w/ other ppl especially on the internet, but seriously you sound like you got issues.
-
is carradine just doing all he can to sit at the "cool kids" table. get over your shit dude. If you hate this site so much then fucking leave already. You seriously serve no purpose but to shit on literally every single thing that is ever discussed here. Either you have the most miniscule window of what is considered good ever, or you just realized that people will pay more attention to you if you talk shit about things people like. either way, just get the fuck out.
-
I didn't say it had NO drama, scroll up and read the post again. Or I'll just paraphrase for you now: QT's recent films have swayed more towards comedy/action than drama. To the detriment of his career.
-
but I absolutely hate Eli Roth. Fuck him.
-
but I absolutely hate Eli Roth. Fuck him.

I'm not saying this movie will suck, but let's face it - it comes off wanting to be The Dirty Dozen with a Tarantino-ized plot. It got the second part right. <p> But anyone wanting to see a movie about somem "renegade" soldiers killing the fuck out of Nazis shoukd be more than satisfied with Lee Marvin & the gang in The Dirty Dozen. Hell, you get psychotic Telly Sevalas as "Maggot" - what else do you need??

will be there first night ordering a pitcher of beer and some heart attack inducing greasy food. And a "fuck you" award goes to people who come here from white power websites to trash this movie.

From The Playlist Blog: This fast and funky "Inglourious Basterds" international trailer is what most Quentin Tarantino fans have been waiting for. "That's more like it!," is the thinking. It's fun, features blaxploitation funk, a few scenes we haven't already seen and some humor not evinced in past trailers. It should make Tarantino fans more excited. However, for those that like to complain about trailers that try and sell an entirely different movie -- and there are many of those people out there, including us from time to time --- here's your prime example. This basically takes all the violence and fast-moving parts and jams them together with propulsive '70s funk and yes, it totally works. But it's not the picture Tarantino made and its not the picture that we saw at Cannes. Some are convinced that the upcoming August 21 cut of 'Basterds' is going to be drastically different and much more exciting than the initial reports, but we're not buying it. Basterds' is still going to be the slow-moving, chatty talk fest with outbursts of Tarantino-esque violence we've seen. But expect something closer to "Jackie Brown," than anything else he's made in terms of languid pace. That said, some will still love it, no matter what, and that's cool, every filmmaker needs their devotees, but we're just saying: don't let this one change your expectations too much. Good trailer though, for sure. Way to sell it TWC (or Universal international or whoever cut it).
-
Wake me up when it's over, I'm still watching DeathProof, the movie that never ends!
-
I'm sorry but I don't get all teh hype about Tarantino. Other than Pulp Fiction, I can't name another movie he made that I liked. Kill Bill had its moments but the whole package wasn't great. And this movie (Basterds) looks to be the worst. Every scene looks so contrived, designed to "look good", and it does so in all the stills that have come out. But as a moving picture medium, it looks horrible!!!
-
I look forward to seeing this film in August, and of course Hope springs eternal ... but I'm very slowly accepting the truth ... that Quentin's place in the "Pantheon" is right next to Terry Gilliam and Tim Burton. ie. directors that wow'd me once long ago, but ever since, they've bored me with their predictable, shallow bag of tricks. This preview looks only 30% interesting ... Brad Pitt? Wow, stinko.
-
...and I'm feeling the same about this. The trailer actually looks like some kids put it together as a youtube spoof or something. God, I hope the movie's better than this trailer!
-
It's not funny when you call QT "tarantina." Also, judging from your posts it sounds like everytime you need to pee you need to search for your dick first. Please, tell us all who your favorite director is?...
-
to hate you from reading all your posts. Drink draino, illiterate cocksucker.
-
I also want to point out an interesting/cautionary phenomenon: the "genius" director/artist who jettisons an important collaborator/partner, and becomes creatively "lost" from then on ... Help me out with examples, people. There are so many ... I can think of Peter Bogdanovich & his wife, George & Marsha Lucas ... The Beatles ... and, oh yeah, Quentin Tarantino & Roger Avary.

As a Jew, German chicks scare me but Diane Kruger... oofa!
by YackBacker
She haunts my most erotic dreams with her Aryan charms...
-
I thought it was every Jewish boys fantasy to fuck a German chick. Isn't that like a big fetish amongst the chosen people?
-
the trailer. hook a brutha up already, huh? anyone? You tellin me there ain't a single music geek out there who can answer my question?
-
fucking awful. Comedy? Drama? Does anyone know? Does Tarantino know? Still hasn't made a decent film since Pulp Fiction.
-
Thank you for remembering that most conveniently-forgotten of facts: Tarantino was only ever good when he had Avery to reign in his excesses / write his films for him (delete as applicable, and if you're one of those people who knows the real backstory behind Avery & Tarantino's split, you're probably as horrified by QT's behaviour as I am...).
-
I can't complain about any fil;m that rips the pih out of nazis. Big Jock Knew.
-
Tarantino leaned on Avery quite a bit with those first films, but since then, he's been his own man. QT has a distinctive style, and his movies are a lot of fun. Plus he's got a great take for dialog. So, what should we do? Destroy him with derision? So there's one less original voice, and one more Michael Bay voice? Does that make any kind of sense?
-
Its time to destroy Tarantino, yes. And replace him. It seems that there were a lot of original young directors coming out of the indie revolution in the early 90's. And since there have been few new discoveries, because fanboys are so goddamn complacent with MEDIOCRE TURDS LIKE DEATH PROOF, KILL BILL VOL 2, AND QUITE POSSIBLY THIS NEW INGLOURIOUS BASTERD TURD
-
I take my WWII fetish out on the Pacific Theater myself.
-
If I didn't know this was Tarantino, I would not go see the movie based on this trailer. I will, only out of respect for QT.

I think 'destroy him with derision' is a bit strong, but yes, it's time to replace him. He's produced turd after turd for years. Avery was the true creative force (Tarantino didn't 'lean on' Avery for Pulp Fiction, Avery wrote the damn thing, Tarantino then squeezed him out. The full story is pretty shocking, and is where 50% of my Tarantino-hate comes from). And why must he replaced by a Michael Bay voice? There's a hell of a lot of indie directors out there waiting for their chance, give them their shot! Oh, and his take for dialogue is rotten - every single character sounds like him. In my opinion, a good writer gives each character a distinctive voice of their own. A bad one makes every character sound like a retarded film geek, waffling on about comic books and 70s funk B-sides... (I swear, I felt my balls cringe when David Carradine started his 'Superman' speech in Kill Bill 2. Dreadful. Just dreadful).

It's so much more than "social networking." I lasted about 1 month on MySpace -- about 1 week on Facebook -- but Twitter, when used correctly, is the evolution of IRC and SMS in one -- a searchable, configurable stream of real-time data with a standardized, open API. Once you tailor it for your own needs (by choosing the appropriate client, using filters, groups, and perpetual live search feeds) it can become a powerful tool for CRM, socalizing, organizing, *networking*, and as was just demonstrated in Iran, the dissemination of information when all other avenues have been exhausted or extinguished.<br><br> That said, a large group of people still choose to use it for "Ooh, it's so cold -- I'm waiting at the bus stop"-style updates, and Harry's are not much better.

...IRC? CRM? "a searchable, configurable stream of real-time data with a standardized, open API." *sigh* You're not doing yourself, or Twitter, any favours... Sorry, but still don't see the point. It's basically a Facebook status update writ large. Oh, and the whole 'Iran' argument was blown out of the water when it was revealed that a very small minority of (actually, I refuse to use the word 'Tweets' in polite company) Twitter posts from the hot-spots in Iran where totally made up by Twitter attention whores in other countries. I can outdo you, too - I lasted less than 10 minutes on Twitter. Here's how it goes: KIDS & EMOS - MYSPACE. NORMAL PEOPLE: FACEBOOK. THE MIDDLE CLASSES AND SNOBS - TWITTER. Easy!

He is a backdoor man and than some.

"...for "Ooh, it's so cold -- I'm waiting at the bus stop"-style updates, and Harry's are not much better."<p>And then there are those who want their followers to pester people who are not paying them immediate attention. Perez Hilton asked people to call the police because he was punched in the face; Dina Lohan urged her followers to contact housekeeping at the hotel she was staying at because she needed more towels.
-
...thanks! I didn't think I could hate Twitter any more than I already do, but now I do!
-
Everything about this movie is ruined by the accent. You know which one.
-
= better trailer
-
Pitt sucks, I agree.

and makes a mockery of yours. Amateur, thy name is Tarantino!!!

it's a fail. <P> Like Titbag's posts.

But they did live to see New Trek, bless their souls.

Is your GF an Asian broad?

Most of it is people selling shit, and Tila Tequila bragging about her tits.
-
Should Tarantino have to eat to atone for this shitburger? NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!! NINE!!!
-
The US teaser was more stylish. This one is pretty paint-by-numbers and gives too much of the movie away.
-
Regardless of whether they are playing this as a comedy or drama, it looks like it will be a strong movie from Tarantino and maybe even better than Kill Bill. I've also heard about negative reactions to the film, but haven't really read anything besides the review that somebody posted above... Anyone wanna oblige? -My Examiner article of Christianity and raising children as opposed to atheism. http://tiny.cc/KMjO3

They didn't that's fucking Johnny Knoxville!

This doesn't look like the Combat epic I was expecting. Bring on the Expendables.

by Nuking the Fridge
Disappointment.

<p>WHY did QT choose Brad Pitt? It can't be for his acting skills. Maybe he wants a mainstream hit. Which is fine but there is something wrong when I am not excited to see a Quentin Tarantino movie. </p> <p>I think Brad Pitt is probably a cool guy and he can be funny but no way do I buy him as this character. And a cameo by Dr. Evil? This movie looks boring. Oh well, to each his own. I think I'll put Jackie Brown on the Netflix que so I can see a good QT film.
-
Some things are better presented here, but I still can't shake the bad taste left in my mouth after seeing that very first trailer. This may be one that I won't choose to see until right up before its release after I hear the reviews from AICN and other critics. <p> If someone can give me a good review that presents it as something other than "FUCKING AWESOME!!!" (Harry) or "really bad, boring, and disappointing" (general critics), I may see it. I want a review that tells me its an interesting failure or an enjoyable crapfest.
-
The opening music is from Justice! Cross rules!
-
Ill wait for the Stallone flick.
-
Pitt looks like a dickhead, and the comedy looks lame.
-
Tarantino remakes The Dirty Dozen...What a genius!!!!!
-
maybe it is one too many visits to the FKK sites or perhaps it is simply the insane sexuality of them, but kraut broads rank behind only Russians and Asians on the Fuckability scale...and if your into extreme kink..they might be right at the top.</p><p>Oh..the trailer? Given that it is QT...this movie has a 50/50 chance of sucking cock.
-
no way in fucking hell i'd ever use twitter. i need to register for another 'friendly online community' like i need another nut.
-
This trailer actually wants to make me see the movie whereas the US one was just terrible rubbish.
-
One: Twitter is yet another haven for self-promotion and narcissism. Two: "Deathproof" was exceptional because Tarantino once again used his penchant for of talkiness to make his feel a rapport with a group of girls before something really bad happens to them. He makes us feel it. And gets in a Dave Dee, Dozy, Beaky, Mick and Tich nod. And fine ass Zoe Bell doing her thing. Three: What is wrong with a film partly concerned with the joys derived from killing Nazis? If that offend your delicate sensibilties, then you, my friend, are fucking pussy without any hope of redemption. Four: "Avatar". I'll believe it when I see it. But, for now, all this shameless Cameron-fellating has got to stop before someone gets heart. And, lastly, Five: "The Expendables" does seem awesome, but what the fuck does that have do with anything? Invoking Sly's film to diss Tarantino's without seeing either, just makes you sound like a dumbass. Unless you're ABKING. When it comes to all things Sly, homeboy gets a pass.
-
"Gets hurt", not "hurt. Not proofreading also makes one look like a dumbass.
-
I have said it before and I will say it again. Brad Pitt looks like a nazi in that movie instead of like a Jew.
-
and I like the acting, I'm even warming to Brad Pitt's schitck. Let's hope Questin can cut this into a tight lean motherfucker
-
Nein nein nein nein! Oh yes yes yes yes!
-
The story and acting looks like a C. <p> The DP work is an A.
-
"The goal: to blow up the basket" and "That's a bingo!" are not GREAT LINES... at BEST mediocre... gheezus... I wonder about some of you people...damn.

100's of great English actors and they pick Myers??
by Bastard_In_A_Blanket
BASTERDS, IMO, doesn't look anything special. <p> And Harry, I saw DRAG ME TO HELL last night -- and it was mediocre! Disappointing.
-
Tarantino must stop hanging out in closets
-
Couldn't have said it better myself.
-
Brad Pitt is one of my favorite actors, and I've yet to see an excerpt from this movie where I don't want to punch him in the Goddamn teeth.<p> And could that guy look LESS like Hitler? Why didn't they just cast a black or Asian guy and make him all the way unconvincing?
-
It's still early, but this looks like it could become an Oscar for Quentin.
-
Wow... somebody's got issues. You do know its just a movie right? right?
-
Simon Pegg. I think that was reported around here for awhile? But he had to drop out and somehow Myers got cast in the role. Weird.
-
Now if you're talking about Reservoir Dogs, then yabber yabber like that draws us into the characters..in Deathproof they were boring fucking walking cliches...models dressed up to be slackers and 'dudes', by the time 'it' finally happens you actually dont give a fuck...at all. Dont get me wrong, i love most of Tarantino's films inc Kill Bill 1/2, but Deathproof is a MAJOR misfire, someone needed to hit the edit sweet and smack his hands hard. I would watch any of his films again gladly (well maybe not four rooms), but would pass Deathproof everytime. Dude needs to take stock.
-
obviously
-
I dont like the tone, it seems out of place for a ww2 movie as does Brad Pitt. All I hear is Fat Bastard when Mike Meyers speaks. I was sooo excited for this movie, now its just looking like a grindhouse promo trailer
-

Great movie with Til? Duece Bigalow 2 as Heinz Hummer
by Col. Tigh-Fighter
That films a guilty pleasure. Man Whores all the way <p> Yeah, so sue me! lol
-
At least QT has an original voice (yeah I know this is a remake of sorts). Do you want Bay instead? *shudders*
-
And half-German! Holy shit, I just realized this! That explains why she rolls blintzes better than anyone else I know.
-
over there just within gernade range
-
Very nice! I like both halves!
-
Bang Boom Bang, despite his horrible cameo. Also 'Was tun wenns brennt?' is pretty good.
-
He was banging Kathy Griffin at one point after or during Pulp Fiction. I don't think he cast chicks just to bang them.
-
Where did that rumor come from?
-
because Tarantino has a prequel and a sequel lined up for this. We want to see those...er, don't we?<p>I'll tell you something else that aggravates my derriere something rotten: all this nonsense about how Roger Avary was responsible for Tarantino's best work. Avary didn't even write any of the actual screenplay for Pulp Fiction; he's only credited for providing the basic story of one of the segments. That's it. And yet his influence is blown up to ridiculous proportions, and this falsehood that Tarantino 'stole' from him relentlessy perpetuated. Or so Tarantino's detractors would like to believe. Give QT credit where it's due.<p> It's very telling that the 'voice' of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp has continued throughout Tarantino's subsequent work, whether you liked those movies or not. It's the way Tarantino speaks, for fuck's sake. Yet Avary's solo work and screenwriting career has shown none of these characteristics - not to mention being underwhelming in the extreme. Rules of Attraction, Beowulf, blah! So this whole Avary nonsense is very much a myth that has long needed to be put out to pasture. Don't believe everything you read.<p>P.S. the mis-spelling of the title 'Inglorious Bastards' is still one of the dumbest quirks ever seen in a major motion picture release. Tarantino, you coke fiend, just admit you're borderline illiterate and never had a proper education!
-
They both admit it openly. Its pretty old news.
-
For killing people while drunk.
-
Yeah, social media is going to eventually go the way of that telephone thing and TV and that other stuff.. what did they call it back when? Letters? Yeah. Dead media. You futurists are always amazing.
-
Is there nothing Tarantino won't do for attention? Directing ER. Thank god they never let him direct X-files like he was supposed to. His appearance on AI was embarrassing. Mark my words, it is only a matter of time before he ends up on Dancing with the Stars.
-
Was I supposed to laugh at that trailer? Mission accomplished.
-
Watching this trailer and seeing Harry enthuse about it is like not being privy to an inside joke. I guess Knowles HAS to like it, because it's Tarantino and he's afraid someone will revoke his "cool" card if he downplays it in any way. On the flip side, it's COOL to bash Bay for making a big dumb summer movie that made grips of cash for all involved. Oh, but this Basterds flick is ART...fuck off, it looks stupid as hell.
-
...you liked Transformers 2? Don't be bashful. Sorry, but this movie looks great.
-
I was hoping for a lot of Nazi killing. Previous trailers looked good. This now looks like a lot of talking and joking and Brad Pitt wisecracks. Looks like I'll just rent Rambo IV instead.
-
And I mean basic cable, with all the profanity and most of the violence cut. That's how little I trust Tarantino these days. His comic disregard for history on this project puzzles me. What's supposed to be so entertaining? It's a vanity project, which is sad coming from the man who made "Jackie Brown."
-
when it comes to WWII. Why doesn't Tarantino make a film about beheading fascist Axis ally Italians. the Japanese got bombs dropped on them. The French get called pussies for not fighting back. But, the Italians don't catch any shit for sucking Hitler's dick.
-
The only thing you are doing is demonizing QT with all the talk about having female leads. So the fuck what if he casts female leads? Do you hear people bitching about Marty's films primarily featuring italians? Or Woody casting Jews? Or Spike casting blacks? Maybe QT just wants the leads to be women becuase THAT'S HOW HE WANTED IT TO BE WRITTEN. And this "he's only casting chick leads to get laid!!!!!!!!!" is pure bullshit. I'm sure one of (if not THE) most infamous directors in the world wouldn't have a problem in that department, EVEN if he's asshole ugly.If you dislike TarantinO that's cool, but to use such shit excuses and diss on the guy on a post DAY AFTER DAY makes you a bigger bitch than a newly married stepmom. Makes you sound like my ten-year-old cousin. Nah mean bra???
-
"i mean is there anybody outthere who says he didnt loved michael madsen in "bill"??? why kill him off? did he killed jules in "pulp" or wallace or butch?... While Trying to comprehend what the fuck that means to the best of my ability. Let me just say it's like an unspoken rule that the coolest characters die in the movie. You know... "livin' fast, dyin' young and leavin' a good looking corpse."
-
this was based on real people and real events. <p>
-
Again - why pick Simon Pegg? He's basically the playing himself in every film. The guy has got as much range as flamidamide at Augusta. <p> And when I look at Mike Myers in BASTERDS, I'm thiking it's a bad clip from one of his new movies. Awful.
-
Pulp was good, Everything else has been derivative shit. Black exploitation to silly Hong Kong rip-offs, he hasn't an original bone in his hideous body. Sorry, this guy just sucks. I'm still waiting for him to do a movie about a Palestinian who was given aids by the CIA and is murdered by the Israelis cause he is a peace loving gay Arab, has Oscar written all over it.
-
Dr Evil!
-
Not flaming you, stabby, but you reminded me of something that really pisses me off.<p> The biggest load of neoconservative shit ever foisted on the American public is that the French didn't "fight back" in WW2...they lost 90,000 men in the Battle Of France, and a further 25,000 died as POWs in Germany (twice as many casualties as the US had in Vietnam). French exiles fought with the allies around the globe, and the French established a significant resistance force that greatly assisted the re-taking of France, paving the way for the Allied invasion of Germany.<p> US Intelligence paid the Resistance back by spiriting the Nazi's most notorious brute, Klaus Barbie, off to South America so he could kill and torture there after the war.<p> This is the movie QT SHOULD be making, not some trumped up fantasy.
