Tarantino says there's a good chance INGLORIOUS BASTARDS will be showing at next year's Cannes Festival!

Is it even filming yet? by fiester	May 26th, 2008 11:02:01 PM
No way it's done in a year's time. Isn't this a big WWII flick?
does he cameo? by Jubba	May 26th, 2008 11:05:08 PM
is half of it animated? is the final battle non-existant?

his dialogue is going to be completely out of place in a world war 2 film and he certainly won't be able to fall on the usual pop culture references. whats he going to do have them talking about their fav betty grabel posters endlessly

Self-indulgent dialogue and exposition? No thanks by Han Cholo	May 26th, 2008 11:11:15 PM
Sorry but all Tarantino's movies are the same tripe. It's always him speaking through his characters, trying to be profound. So far I'm unimpressed.

Come on, you know it's true. I'll go see it anyway - Tarantino does homages well.
I wouldn't mind by Mezzanine	May 26th, 2008 11:23:37 PM
Tarantino acting in this movie if the character gets killed pretty early on. The guy has never been that great at longer parts... but his shorter performances have always left me highly entertained.
Start shooting the film and I may get excited by Mullah Omar	May 26th, 2008 11:25:14 PM
Okay, so he wrote a draft of the script. I need a lot more progress before this is just the same sort of idle chatter we've read for years about this film. Which granted, could be great. But first things first.
His exposition in Death Trap was AWFUL. by Fa Fa Fooey	May 26th, 2008 11:39:34 PM
The action was great, but the talky-talky was sucky-sucky.
Is Tarantino embarrassed by his foot fetish? by Fa Fa Fooey	May 26th, 2008 11:41:02 PM
I saw on one of the talk shows where it specifically mentioned his fetish for feet. What a weirdo.

STALLONE should co-star in this. And if they can get ARNOLD then GREAT as well!

Great start, steady slide thereafter. Bit like that Shamalamadingdong fella...

Make him famous again so that he can play old Dark Knight next.
This is Tarantino's Chinese Democracy by DrBanner	May 26th, 2008 11:54:47 PM
QT has been talking about doing this flick for years now, but it never seemed to get off the ground. To the point where he did Kill Bill and Grindhouse over it. As much as I'd like to see him take this project on, I'm not holding my breath.

Fuck all of you with bad taste... by pleasebanme	May 27th, 2008 12:00:12 AM
Tarantino writes spectacular dialogue and his movies are consistently entertaining and clever despite their derivative style (and you can see just as much influence in the Coens from Hitchcock and PTA from Kubrick). This movie is going to be spectacular.

Yeah, ready by next year, sure Quentin by Freakemovie	May 27th, 2008 12:28:35 AM
He's talked up Inglorious Bastards almost more than Chris Carter and David Duchovny talked up X-Files 2. I will not believe a word of it until it actually starts shooting.

His Style in the period...? I'm confused...? by loserguy3000	May 27th, 2008 12:34:34 AM
Quint - what exactly about his style makes him perfect for a WW2 drama? I'm a little confused here. Will there be excessive ninja-action with Godzilla noises, or a need for smooth 70s funk during the artillery scenes? Hoping the best for this, but also hoping its better than his recent stuff - which signals he's just about lost it. On that note, where's the report on those LIVE-ACTION Dragonball shots? Sure the film looks like A-S-S, but where's the talkback so we can ridicule it?? Check It! http://tinyurl.com/66pq4l
Coolest WW2 flick EVER.... by Quake II	May 27th, 2008 12:37:13 AM
This movie will destroy The Dirty Dozen (which is actually rather dull) and Kelly's Heroes.

Quentin can surprise... by Lerkst	May 27th, 2008 01:04:10 AM
Kill Bill 2 is his best film, in my opinion as it didn't 'schtick' it 90's 70's style (does that make sense). But Deathproof was a disaster, a boring absolute mess of a movie. He is talented...almost ridiculously. But, he needs to focus more. A WWII flick could just what finally takes him out of the shadow of Pulp Fiction and into some real filmaking. I like Pulp Fiction, but it's dated and overated.
Tarantino needs a doppleganger by depalma25	May 27th, 2008 01:06:31 AM
I would imagine Taratino's biggest challenge is deciding on what film to write and follow through with making. He get's excited about an idea, several ideas (this is the curse of an artist) mentions it, and everybody assumes, demands that it be his next project. He's directed six films (not counting pre-Resevoir Dogs) and some have been great, others maybe not so much. The man is an artist, a born filmmaker and just loves making movies. This Talkback criticism seems so sad. Making a movie, let alone a good one, is an extremely difficult task. Give the man a break and just let him create.
the coolest QT movie EVER by vestaxwax	May 27th, 2008 01:34:12 AM

If Tarantino loved directing movies... by Sledge Hammer	May 27th, 2008 02:10:11 AM
Then he would have made more than 5 films, and a couple of other random bits and pieces, in the past sixteen years. No, what Tarantino really loves is being a "star", his true passion seems to be maintaining his own celebrity status, and to do that he has to direct a film every few years, just to make sure the world doesn't forget who he is. He has some talent, or at least he has been shown to have some in the past, but I honestly don't think he gives much of a fuck any more. He's too wrapped up in the ego trip of being a full time celebrity to bother being much of a filmmaker any more.

Already my most awaited of 2009 if this is true by IndustryKiller!	May 27th, 2008 02:42:29 AM
That is just fantastic news and i really hope Tarentino isn't talking out of his ass here. The subject matter is brilliant, another masterpiece I'm sure. Except Quintin, baby, let's not have a 15 minute expository diner scene this time? Mmmkay.
OK, I will admit his cameo in Desperado was hilarious by Han Cholo	May 27th, 2008 02:47:40 AM
That was pretty much the only time he ever really did it for me in any of his appearances. That and the way he told the joke was great but everything else since has sucked.
I'll fuckin' believe it when I finally see it... by SouthSide_2010	May 27th, 2008 03:12:39 AM
Knowing QT and his timetable for films, I know he's just blowing speculative smoke up our collective movie geek asses. Sounds like bullshit to me...
Can't wait... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 03:18:10 AM
Dirty Dozen is the second best WW2 movie ever made (Where Eagles Dare is the best). Tarantino can surpass it, question is, can the cast? Marvin, Bronson, Savalis, Casservetes an Sutherland take some beating. I'd like to see Daniel Craig, Paddy Cosntantien and Benito Del Toro work with Tarantino in this.
Been there already... by m_reporter	May 27th, 2008 03:48:42 AM
... isn't Tarantino telling the same story for the last 10 years? I mean, every year theres a comment from him how his next film is IB and then he moves on to doing something else, or nothing at all.
Tarantino by kwisatzhaderach	May 27th, 2008 03:58:15 AM
has been fucking around since the end of the 90s. It's about time the guy made a quality film again and got rid of all his Kill Bill/Grindhouse excess. I watched Reservoir Dogs the other day and had forgotten just how good it actually is. Hopefully Tarantino can resurrect the talent that made Dogs, Fiction and Brown.
Isn't 'Bastard' an offensive word? by bigtime_charly	May 27th, 2008 04:06:06 AM
This may be a silly question, but won't there be problems in promoting this on daytime TV when it gets released? Maybe it will be abbreviated to Inglorious B's!, like ODB was abbreviated, God rest 'im.
This is actually very cool news indeed, Olde Stick. by bswise	May 27th, 2008 04:11:49 AM
Tarantino has made the movies he's made, and I've enjoyed the hell out of each and every one of the ones he's directed. Extra Period.
Cause if WW2 is anything, it should be COOOOL....... by Riley Martin	May 27th, 2008 04:14:05 AM
On behalf of the world, I'd like to apologize to the soldiers from that war for what we are about to see on screen.
kwisatzhaderach... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 04:16:10 AM
I agree, but i guess the delays with this movie shows that Tarantino is aware of his retreat into cartoon and wants his return to be a masterpiece. I say he can put it off forever, there's not really any such thing as a perfect script, cos the script ain't finished until the movie's cut. I'm sure Tarantino's being over precious - i'd like to see him dive in with the balls his characters will no doubt display.

Fair enough bigtime_charly, by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 04:40:50 AM

zapano, DOP Richardson... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 04:48:31 AM
Is perfect for Tarantino, when he's in 'high cartoon' mode, as in Kill Bill (the photography is stunning). Richardson's work on U-Turn and Natural Born Killers also makes him desirable when wanting a 'Sergio Leone' feel, which Tarantino often captures better than any other living Director. I'd burn my dog to have Richardson shoot one of my movies. I imagine his 'Leone' look would work well on IB. However, if Tarantino's going for realism, as in Jackie Brown, then Richardson would be a poor choice. Personally I see Rchardson shooting a WW2 pic pretty well!
Quote, Tarantino: by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 04:53:00 AM
"If you want to make a movie, make it. Don't wait for a grant, don't wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it." IMDB.com So come QT, just make IB already ;)
Q.T. what happened to the buzz? by hallmitchell	May 27th, 2008 04:55:29 AM
I remember the year was 1995. I had that many people come up to me and asked my If I'd seen Pulp Fiction. I had so many people say it I checked it out on video. What a great movie. Now how can a genius like Q.T. get it so wrong lately?? I don't care what q.t. says Jackie Brown sucked and was boring. I haven't seen death proof. Kill Bill should have been one movie. Yet Weinstein greed wrecked it. Q.T. go out and kick ass. Stop trying to impress only hardcore film geeks. You are smart you know what makes a great film and you have the talent to pull it off. Just do it.
Jackie Brown... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 05:19:23 AM
Had superb performances, particularly from DeNero and Robert Forster (whos' was my favorite of that year - understated, trajic and true - inspired casting. Yep, it was slow, it breathed and it's not up there with Pulp Fiction, but it was a good movie. Brave of Tarantino to go slow when everyone else is speeding up. True that Death Proof was pure indulgence - not a good movie, but a great turn from Russell (who i'd like to see in IB). Kill Bill was a masterclass in fusion (Spaghetti, Manga, exploitation, New Wave). Too say that he's making films for an elite of film geeks is, i think, a pretty elitist comment. He's making films for himself - if people don't like them, don't see them, but they usually do pretty well, so to complain they're not broad enough is really only justified by his latest flick.
Kill Bill was the moment by emeraldboy	May 27th, 2008 05:38:44 AM

Hope he casts George Clooney in this... by brokentusk	May 27th, 2008 06:07:12 AM
I watched FROM DUSK 'TILL DAWN again last night (love that film) and Clooney's never been cooler spurting out Tarantino's dialogue. He'd also fit into the World War II period nicely I think. Cast him!
Clancy Brown... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 06:22:09 AM
For those who don't know, he was the Kurgan in the original Highlander and starred in recent series Carnivale. I'd love to see him intimidating the hell out of people in some capacity here. He's an underrated actor that Tarantino could really use.
I'd love to see... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 06:23:52 AM

Damn You Michael Bay
Speaking of Michael Bay... by DC Films	May 27th, 2008 07:02:45 AM
The Rock's very own Ed Harris would make a fine Sergeant Major, as would Armageddon's Will Patton. The Rock's Michael Biehn would be a nice nod to the geeks. Armageddon's Steve Busemi is an obvious! As is Michael Clarke Duncan. Pearl Harbour's Alec Baldwin would kick ass as the Allied general and Pearl Harbour's Jon Voight as his opposite number. Pearl Harbour'sTom sizemore fit the 'Maggot' role nicely and Ewen Bremner the Sutherland role. The Island's Ewan McGregor and Sean Bean as Nazis. Transformer's Shia LaBeouf could get killed in the first reel exercise and Transformer's John Turturro is another 'Maggot' possibility. Nice one MCMLXXVI, you've shown us that Michael Bay is actually good for something!!! ;)

A Tarantino WW2 movie sounds like the stuff geek dreams are made of. Just remember to cast Stallone and have him sport a big grizzly beard. It would be awesome if Tarantino makes a western next.
Umm OK... by ZoeFan	May 27th, 2008 08:04:36 AM
I don't know that this can be finished by Cannes (given that this film is alledgedly 3 hrs+), but he could definately preview it there.
Hey, when do we get the complete Grindhouse? by Knuckleduster	May 27th, 2008 08:08:23 AM
I still haven't watched Planet Terror or Death Proof (even though I'm tempted on a daily basis). I refuse to watch them until I get the complete Grindhouse experience first, trailers and all. Come on, there must be a demand for it on DVD. Make that shit happen, QT.
Jackie Brown = Last great DeNiro performance by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 27th, 2008 08:29:27 AM

I wonder if the excess dialogue will require 2 films by Utamoh	May 27th, 2008 08:32:04 AM
Tarantino's best films were great because he was surrounded by the best talent in Hollywood - editors, sound, production design etc., and he was actually taking suggestions. Leave it up to him, now that he's a Hollywood darling, and you get the sloppy mess that was Death Proof. His films take forever to make because he can't stop changing his mind. Case in point: During the filming of Pulp Fiction, the date scene between John Travolta and Uma Thurman was filmed in real time, that is he filmed the entire date - all 4 hours of it - then told the editor he'd "figure out" what to do with it after. Took him 2 months to "figure it out." That's not directing, that's goofing around. The man can write, but he's too ADD to direct, and drives his crew nuts with his lack of focus.
Utamoh by Knuckleduster	May 27th, 2008 08:44:59 AM
He shot the entire date in real time? For 4 hours? That doesn't make any sense. What about setups? Lighting, reel changes, etc. Where did you hear this?
Knuckleduster... by ZoeFan	May 27th, 2008 08:52:38 AM

Tarantino needs to grow up. by Splinter	May 27th, 2008 09:22:22 AM
His audience has, and he hasn't. I think that's his main problem. Take Reservoir Dogs, for example. Guy gets his ear cut off, tortured and massacred? 'Cool' when I was 19. 14 odd years later - not so much. Kill Bill ("Her pipes are all fucked up so you can come in her as much as you like" - gee, thanks Quentin) was masturbatory nonsense, and Death Proof was so embarassingly bad I actually put subtitles on and 2x forwarded it through the last 40 minutes just to see how it ended. It ended badly. He just needs to move with his audience and I think he'll be relevant again. He has talent out the wazoo - he easily has a No Country For Old Men/There Will Be Blood in him. Make Inglorious Bastards your return to greatness Quentin! Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown weren't flukes!
As much As I think I want this... by roninredshade	May 27th, 2008 09:24:09 AM
You all just now he's gonna ape Samuel Fuller. Right? Maybe, have Michael Parks in it for no reason? QT might surprise me, you never know. I hope he can make a good one. My fingers will be crossed.
There's a documentary on editing that backs this up by Utamoh	May 27th, 2008 09:26:45 AM
It's called "The Cutting Edge: The Magic of Movie Editing" Both Tarantino and his editor talk about this. When I say "real time," it's not like they just filmed it documentary style - sorry about the misleading words. Tarantino wanted to film the entire date from picking her up, to driving to the restaurant, to ordering the meals and eventually the famous dance. He wasn't sure what part of the date to keep, and eventually had 4 hours of material to choose from. Story is backed up elsewhere in print, but sadly i can't remember which article it was.
Utamoh by Knuckleduster	May 27th, 2008 09:35:24 AM
Thanks for that. I'll check it out.
Utamoh... by ZoeFan	May 27th, 2008 09:42:29 AM
While I haven't seen The Cutting Edge (it's now in the top of my Netflix queue), most Directors have "hours" of single scenes which they cut up later. Though I now think I know the gist of what you were trying to say, you did misspeak.

Yes, I did misspeak. I'll have to rent it again by Utamoh	May 27th, 2008 10:01:48 AM
I saw the documentary a while ago, so I may have to dust up on my own details. Knowing a few people who have worked with Tarantino, I have heard other stories that are similar. I have not personally worked for him, but from other directors I've worked with, his reputation for changing his mind a lot has gotten around. I don't hate the guy - I just think he's been elevated a little too high among the pantheon.
rudyrusso... by ZoeFan	May 27th, 2008 10:02:03 AM
At this point I'd mostly agree with your statement. He does stick to what he knows and doesn't go outside of that. However, that's kind of what a second unit is for. For example, Scorsese isn't known for his special effects, yet The Aviator looks great. That was all second unit. To become a great Director means stepping out of your comfort zone. Sometimes that results in falling on your face. Other times that results in becomming Great from Good. Though I am a QT fan, if I were betting, I'd bet against QT on taking a risk based on his track record.
I hope he's attempts to make a "proper"film soon by RockLobster800	May 27th, 2008 10:07:08 AM
I love QTs early stuff-his script for True Romance up to Jackie Brown, and while Kill Bill was fun, Death Proof sees him on a slippery slope. Reservoir Dogs was great-it had Pop culture references, homages all over the gaff, but it could be taken seriously as a proper film, same as Pulp Fiction. But now he just goes overboard with the nudging references and the incessant dialogue making silly messed up random flicks that arent quite spoofs but arent really films either. The guy CAN pull it off when he wants to, its just that he thinks people want to see his take on crappy exploitation films when I think Kill Bill was ENOUGH...and another thing for all his mouthing off about how messed up the film stock was going to look during Grindhouse, he clarly forgot half way through....LOADS of scratches and lines the first half hour, then BOOM, cyrstal perfect, cos, what he couldnt be arsed? Yeah, like the guy in the 30,00 dollar suit is gonna take that-COME ON!!
Tarantino DID use original score in Kill Bill vol. 2 by Osmosis Jones	May 27th, 2008 10:07:10 AM
Robert Rodriguez wrote about 15-20 minutes of original score for that film. Granted, he was aping the Morricone/Leone style, but it was ORIGINAL music scored specifically to picture, instead of Tarantino's usual grab-bag style. If he ever DOES do Inglorious Bastards, the film NEEDS to have a real score. Maybe a Jerry Goldsmith Patton thing, where there's 30 minutes of music in a 2 1/2 hour movie.
STOP PRESS! Axl Rose has confirmed... by BiggusDickus	May 27th, 2008 10:07:43 AM
that the long-awaited Guns n' Roses album 'Chinese Democracy' will be the official Tarantino soundtrack. Apparently, both will be ready in plenty of time for next year's Cannes festival. Coming up next...flying pigs.
Everyone knows this is a remake right? by lowsparkhigh	May 27th, 2008 10:20:25 AM
This is a remake a the '78 Bo Svensen flick titled "Deadly Mission".
About time... by DanielKurland	May 27th, 2008 10:36:53 AM
Been waiting on this for ages. And come on, just because the film has the same name and genre of another film, does not mean it's a remake. Tarantino has never stated as such.
TROPIC THUNDER vs INGLORIOUS BASTARDS! by ABking	May 27th, 2008 10:44:53 AM
If QT wants to blow away Ben Stiller's TROPIC THUNDER, which looks great by the way, he needs to make his film legendary and cast STALLONE, SCHWARZENEGGER and WILLIS as the leads.
Tarantino is OVER THE HILL! by jjn1268019	May 27th, 2008 11:07:02 AM
I think this movie is going to either redeem QT or really push his ass over the cliff, Death Proof SUCKED ASS!!! that was the worst movie I have ever seen, EVER! What the fuck was up with that ending!? How can a movie that bad be actually made and sold to the public!? I think QT is at the point of his career where he no longer has the same motivation as he did when he first set out to become a filmmaker and he can nolonger tap in that creativity, and is starting to just copy other peoples work, I loved Kill Bill but that shit was not original it was all taken from Asian films and Westerns and other shit, He has sorta become a hack who likes old crappy movie from the 70s and 80s and steals their ideas and passes off as his own! But even tho, I still end up watching his shit, but Death Proof was the last straw! that shit was horrible! I dont really see him filming this and getting it ready for next year unless he has already started filming and is really intense about doing nothing but working on this project for a the next 10 months or whatever but I thought this was going to be a huge war epic and shit, no way he can get it ready, NO WAY! and I dont know if even want to see it if it is ready!
Lots of characters all talking in the same voice? Can't wait! by jack-torrance	May 27th, 2008 11:13:22 AM
Yeah! Just like Death Proof, we'll have awesome 15 minute scenes where the characters all sound the same! Woo-hoo!
His heart was broken after Jackie Brown. by GQtaste	May 27th, 2008 11:16:37 AM
When people didn't except that film like the previous ones it really fucked up his confidence. He made a grown up film, which I think you can place up there w/ Dogs and Pulp. I"m the last one who excuses his bullshit dialog but I personally love that film. And since Dogs and Pulp get the majority of love, which is valid. I happen to think Jackie Brown is his finest film! JUSt my two cents. ANd thats what's great about film, it is subjective because many will disagree w/ that one. And i'm a guy who saw Dog's in '92 and was blown away before the hype of the man.
I hope the script leaks... by Kampbell-Kid	May 27th, 2008 11:58:16 AM
I remember when Kill Bill leaked everyone including the press reviewed it and trashed it. QT's stuff reads corny on paper, but on screen it's brilliant chemistry and no wonder it didn't translate the same way. He knows how to make a serious moment or line comedy gold. I've been waiting for this film for a long time also. Nice for him to finally get to it.
HOPE HE CASTS RZA IN IT by ingloriousjedi	May 27th, 2008 12:14:01 PM
that would be cool.

Quentin could do it by Teddy Artery	May 27th, 2008 12:43:31 PM
and you just know his dialogue would be period perfect. I just wonder if he could make it watchable without excessive, gratuitous violence. His dialogue and an adventure in a war setting would be enough.
I think this could be a real return to form by NapoleonDynamite	May 27th, 2008 01:05:02 PM
A "Dirty Dozen" style WWII flick would lend itself quite well to QT's sensibilities. If you want to get an idea what it could be like, go find the original INGLORIOUS BASTARDS -- the 1977 Italian flick with Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson. The humor in that movie is a good indicator of what QT could do with this ouvre.
Speaking of movies that are taking forever to get made.... by NapoleonDynamite	May 27th, 2008 01:06:42 PM
What the hell ever happened to GHOST TOWN?
Casting by DougMcKenzie	May 27th, 2008 01:21:34 PM
Wasn't Sandler rumoured for this? And he would be playing the Cassavetes type of character? Also wasn't Svenson confirmed? (Although at his age he could only realistically play a General or civilian). I want to see Michael Parks as the quiet religious guy who eventually goes insane!
Meh.... by XOMuffintop	May 27th, 2008 02:04:57 PM
That is my response to think until I see a real trailer.
Adam Sandler! by jjn1268019	May 27th, 2008 02:23:55 PM
I forgot he was rumored for this... also I pretty sure Michael Madson will be in it too... but I had no idea this was a remake... I looked it up on IMDB, "Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato" (Deadly Mission; american title)... here's the plot summary...Set in Europe during WWII, a group of American soldiers are in the process of being shipped off to military prison for a variety of infractions, ranging from desertion to murder. While they're being transported, a German artillery attack hits the convoy, killing the MPs and enabling four of the prisoners to escape. The group decides their best bet is to head to neutral Switzerland where they can avoid the fighting and prison. As they make their way to what they think will be freedom, they end up volunteering for a commando mission to steal a V2 warhead for the French Underground. Somehow, the team must sneak into the most heavily guarded base in German territory, steal the Nazi's most precious military hardware, and bring it back to the allies without getting arrested again by their own side. I actually really want to see the original, the reviews makes it out to be much like the GoodBadUgly of WW2, but this kinda proves my point from earlier that Tarantino has become a hack who steals other peoples work, little if anyone know of this title and little if any will know after "Inglorious Bastards" will be released that its a remake, I dont know why but this upsets me!
Cast and actual release date by jjn1268019	May 27th, 2008 02:41:50 PM
IMDB only has Michael Madson, Tim Roth and Arie Verveen (rumored) as cast, NO SANDLER! and also a release date of 2010, which makes more sense!
Nosferatu Jones... by BiggusDickus	May 27th, 2008 02:51:51 PM
Yay! So it's open season on M. Night Shamalamadingdong and McG, then!
Please AB King by chuffsterUK	May 27th, 2008 04:03:11 PM
Give it up. Arnold will NOT be in this,much as I hate to say it. By the way,why would Tarantino want this to look like Tropic Thunder-a comedy????
I just can't wait... by Ecto-1	May 27th, 2008 04:19:05 PM
... to see another two hours of QT ripping off a bunch of other films and trying to pass it off as being original. He writes some cool dialogue at times, but that's about it. Here's a link to the original Inglorious Bastards. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt00 76584/
Stallone As A Grunt From Philly, AHRNULD As An SS Officer by LaserPants	May 27th, 2008 04:34:03 PM
Make this happen and it could very well be the greatest b-movie ever released at Cannes '09. Seriously though, I hope he keeps going with the exploitation thing and makes this as nutso as KILL BILL and GRINDHOUSE was. I know lots of you think he's lost it, but I think he found it. Don't get me wrong, I R Dogs, Pulp Fiction, and J. Brown are great, but KILL BILL is pure LOVE; its my favorite QT movie by far; the one most plugged into my fetishes...

vol 1 is a masterpiece by random dude	May 27th, 2008 05:28:57 PM

Jackie Brown is my favorite Tarantino film... by Gwai Lo	May 27th, 2008 05:35:14 PM
But all of his films have been good so far. Some are overrated (Reservoir Dogs) and some are disappointing (Death Proof) but they're all GOOD films.
My main problem with Death Proof is the structure by Gwai Lo	May 27th, 2008 05:45:38 PM
It's the same story told twice, except that Stuntman Mike is a badass in the first version and he's a pussy in the second version. I dig the feminist overtones (in a way the structure reminds me of I Spit On Your Grave! in that you see woman get fucked up and then you see woman take revenge) but I don't dig the mid-movie reset. We essentially have to go through all the buildup we just went through all over again. Chicks sitting around talking. And it's not that I don't like chicks talking, it's that they're all speaking Tarantino. I don't know any girls that talk like these characters. Maybe it's because I live in Canada but they just didn't seem like realistic people to me. In fact, they didn't seem like characters at all, it was one character spread across like ten broads. I'm sure that girls like this exist somewhere, but this many in the same place? I don't believe it. I'd be willing to look past it if the dialogue was REAAAALLLLY GOOOOODDDD but it's not, it's just the usual name dropping and mothafucka we've come to expect from Tarantino. But I still enjoyed the film (the shorter theatrical cut more so than the DVD version I'd say) and a lot of the invidual scenes stand up. The action is pretty damn awesome. And I love the opening credits sequence, the soundtrack, the cinematography. I kind of just wish he'd mature a bit and maybe try something that's outside of his comfort zone. Inglorious Bastards sounds like it could maybe do the trick, because he can't use a lot of his quirky dialogue crutches. I'd like to see him do a film with hardly any dialogue at all, something that would really test him as a writer. Anyway, Jackie Brown is still his best film.

DEATH PROOF Was So-So, But It Did Have One AMAZING Shot by LaserPants	May 27th, 2008 06:17:17 PM
The tire ripping that girls face off is completely f*ckin' insane and disturbing.

One of the most WTF-barf-awesome scenes I've ever seen in a theatre. Her face got FUCKED
Tim Roth and Michael Madsen are in it by Bobo_Vision	May 27th, 2008 07:37:35 PM
And I agree, I hope Adam Sandler ends up in it like he was rumoured. Others I wouldn't mind seeing in it who have a history with Tarantino: Kurt Russell, Steve Buscemi, Chris Tucker. Some others he hasn't worked with to complete the troupe: Emile Hirsch, Jamie Bell, and Joseph Gordon Leavitt.
As for the Arnold, Stallone, Willis thing by Bobo_Vision	May 27th, 2008 07:41:13 PM
As for as I know, senior citizens are not recruited to the armed forces.
Arnold should be the villain by Gwai Lo	May 27th, 2008 07:43:51 PM
He is a Nazi super soldier experiment after all.
I normally scoff when people say "You'll all still see this" by jimmay	May 27th, 2008 08:03:02 PM
But in this case its true. Tarantino's critics can snark and bite all they want, but when his next film comes out--whether it's Inglorious Bastards or something else--and you find yourself staring at the marquee at your local theater, and it's either Tarantino or the latest moronic horror movie, or generic romantic comedy X, or Sandler/Myers/Ferell/Carell dumbass comedy X, or latest LOTR cash-in fantasy-by-the-numbers, or pop-culture reference overload Dreamworks computer animated comedy with talking animals X, or the latest PG 13 'action' movie, you'll wisely pick Tarantino. Because even if you don't like it, at least you'll remember it.
hechtal by Gwai Lo	May 27th, 2008 08:06:11 PM
I don't think Planet Terror "got it right" in terms of what grindhouse/exploitation movies are actually like. Which is not to say it wasn't entertaining, but that's not what I think of when I think exploitation. Machete on the other hand, that's much closer. If I was to watch both movies without sound I'd say Death Proof got got the closest, but all the post-modern dialogue kind of messes with the throwback feel. When I think Grindhouse/Exploitation I think shit like Emanuelle and the Last Cannibals, or Cut and Run. Not Planet Terror, which felt like a pastiche of From Beyond, Night of the Creeps and John Carpenter.
The casting is the thing by CherryValance	May 27th, 2008 08:11:15 PM
imo, when his movies aren't as great as they should be it's the way he casts them. Now all along we've been hearing Schwarzenegger and Stallone. I really hope that happens. If it does then he should be able to lock up an incredible supporting cast too. The cast of Death Proof was atrocious except for Russell and Dawson. Those dingy broads were so annoying, I was actually rooting for Stuntman Mike.
Some arguments never die. . . by jimmay	May 27th, 2008 08:19:20 PM
The great Death Proof debate rages on. As usual, I'll lend my voice to the dissenting opinion. Death Proof, or, more appropriately, the backlash against it. proves exactly what is wrong with modern Hollywood, not the films themselves, but the sheep in the audience who demand mindless, non-stop action, one -liners, machismo, nudity, and every other form of standard, bottom-feeding stupidity that infests the modern infatuation of angry, mysogynist apes.
Some people only have a couple movies in them by Rupee88	May 27th, 2008 08:36:43 PM
yeah I agree with the guy above who said this. Res Dogs and Pulp Fiction are fucking masterpieces...nothing else he has done has been that extraordinary. But you never know if his genius is dormant or just faded away with age, so I'll definitely pay attention to whatever he does even if I don't rush out to see it asap.
Res Dogs Is Kinda Overrated, Actually by LaserPants	May 27th, 2008 09:34:19 PM
I mean, its good and all, but its kinda corny too. PULP FICTION is a masterpiece of cool. JACKIE BROWN is a good cool movie. KILL BILL is a SPAZZTAZZTICKLY AWESOME FRIKKIN KUNG-FU FETISH FLICK THAT MAKES MY GEEKCOCK CUM, And DEATH PROOF was good but kinda meh and disappointing. LOVE the freakin' carkill scene in the middle, though, its fuckin' brilliant and viscous as all hell.

Deathproof is far superior to Planet Terror by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	May 28th, 2008 08:02:34 AM
Rodriguez is a schlockmyster pumping out a bad movie cause he thinks it's supposed to be bad. Tarantino made art masquerading as trash.
RE: If Tarantino loved directing movies... by torres09	May 28th, 2008 10:24:40 AM
I completely agree if Tarantino loved making movies he would make more instead of spending all his time partying and snorting cocaine. I have long since given up believing a word Tarantino says about making new films, for example he's been talking about making or should I say remaking inglorious bastards for years and years and years. Personally I think Tarantino lost his gift or perhaps he only had a couple of original ideas in the first place. I mean let's face it nearly all his movies are remakes - Natural born Killers/Badlands - Reservoir Dogs/City on fire - Jackie Brown based on a Elmore Leonard novel - Kill Bill/Lady Snowblood Blizzard from the Netherworld and no doubt the truly dreadful death proof was ripped from some awful grind house movie.. .. and inglorious bastards will be a remake of the same name. Even Tarantino his trademark dialogue went up his own arse in the last film. I love/like all of his films up to death proof but I think we'll have to face his best years are behind him. Always good for now is adding his name to producing movies or taking the (undeserved) credit for bringing Asian movies to America eg Quentin Tarantino's Hero
all great filmmakers have one thing in common by emeraldboy	May 28th, 2008 11:02:24 AM
it is thier ability to surround themselves with the best people. with lucas it was technical. speilberg did it(yet he always took the credit esp with writers) in his early career. The only people who still do this are the coen bros. No country was (depending on your point of view) was the best film of the year. The buzz around RR was that he was a one man band. That only works up to a point. Miramax was the house of QT. The bigger the Ego of the artist gets, the less others want to work with someone who is used to working on his own terms. only. QT only has one shot of the dice left. Before the industry goes, qt he used to really cool. one of the higlights of the Extras Finale was the bit where Hale and Pace try to book a seat at a posh london Restaraunt. Andy's rising star means he gets an automatical table. Who remembers Hale and pace. no one. that is how cruel Showbusiness can be.
Will there be a scene where the soldiers talk about Hitler's sex by jack-torrance	May 28th, 2008 12:44:09 PM
A painfully self-indulgent 15 minute scene where each soldier gives their hilarious hypothesis of what Hitler likes in the bedroom. Tarantino writes it, thinking it's smart and funny and audiences will dig it. Throw in a few pop culture references to music and movies of the time, and you have a movie!

I can't wait... by Drunken Rage	May 29th, 2008 08:50:05 AM
to miss this. QT simply takes good parts from cool movies and claims them for his own. His dialogue is stilted and over-written, his pop culture references are almost always anachronistic, and "Death-Proof" was about as big a piece of shit as I've ever seen. QT is a hack.
re Hale and Pace by torres09	May 31st, 2008 04:32:21 PM
I get what you are saying but who could forget Hale and pace? We know a song about that don't we billy... One two drip on your shoe, three four not any more.
