World War 2 is just the backdrop by skimn	Jul 8th, 2008 01:57:07 PM
And I think the Sly, Bruce and Arnie idea sounds better in our heads than in actual reality. It would be cool, but it would get in the way of the movie. We'd keep thinking "Damn, thats Sly, Bruce and Arnie......coooooool" everytime they'd show up on screen, instead of investing in their characters.
He's gettin a bit puffy, by skimn	Jul 8th, 2008 01:58:19 PM
but how about Wings Hauser?
TheBostonStrangler Rocks! by kevinwillis.net	Jul 8th, 2008 01:58:55 PM
I bow to your firstness! Don't ever change, and don't sweat the haters. They're just jealous they didn't get firsties. In other news, I'm a lot more interested in seeing this and reading this. And I've got nothing against Sly, Bruce and Arnie, but it ain't gonna happen. I'd bet dollar to donuts it won't even come close to happening.
tarantino WAS a genius by Rupee88	Jul 8th, 2008 01:59:13 PM
true romance, reservoir dogs, pulp fiction, natural born killers, from dusk till dawn....but that's where it ended...he's past his prime and fading away now.
Piles and piles of 'meh' by Heckles	Jul 8th, 2008 01:59:33 PM
Pulp Fiction was his last great movie. Believe it. The rest is Q's own brand of head-up-his-ass cinematic drivel.
Same here slone13/WeinerPenis by SpencerTrilby	Jul 8th, 2008 01:59:52 PM
QT debunked that a few weeks back. That would be great however, Sly, Bruce, Arnie and company on a mission. A dream come true. As for the "WWII done to death" opinion, Tarantino adressed this by saying that he hated the miserable visual tenure of the WWII flicks, that "DTV feel" 95% of them share, even the most recent/prestigious ones (I mean, Saving Private Ryan may be a fan favorite, but the photography and sets are far from being top notch). I have high hopes for that one. Fingers crossed.

Whoever the cast is... by waitingimpatientlyforingloriousb astards	Jul 8th, 2008 02:08:17 PM
...this will surely revitalize their careers, as Quentin has done for so many others. Fuck the haters. Quentin has never mad a bad movie, and I'm so ready for his next epic, in the line of Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill!
Spencer Trilby by JimBobCooter	Jul 8th, 2008 02:09:09 PM
WHAT?!?! Saving Private Ryan's photography is far from being top notch?? You may not like the way it LOOKS, but you have no clue what you're talking about. The doc-style and rough look took WWII out of Hollywood gloss and added grit. It also was referencing the photos of Robert Capa, a war journalist who was THERE and took photos of D-Day. Because it was so low light, he had to slow the film speed which caused the smeared photos. You're welcome to your opinion. But it is an ill-informed one.
The good thing about Death Proof... by BIG_BAD_WOLF_IN_CAPS	Jul 8th, 2008 02:09:38 PM
is if you look closely before she finishes off Stuntman Mike, you can see some of that glorious hairy taco. I shit you not.
SNAKES ON A PLANE 2 by Mullah Omar	Jul 8th, 2008 02:11:15 PM
Get ready for disappointment with a film that has been overgeeked for years. As much as I would love for this film to rock, I fear that it will never be as cool as the concept.
AIN'T IT COCK SUCKING by UMAGA	Jul 8th, 2008 02:11:32 PM
Fuck this hack. Every time a Tarantino or Rodriguez article is posted, a brain dies. Alright?
JimBobCooter by waitingimpatientlyforingloriousb astards	Jul 8th, 2008 02:12:40 PM
I completely agree. Saving Private Ryan looked and felt so realistic. It remains one of my favorite movies of all time.

Trilby, you're freaking nuts my good man! by Montag666	Jul 8th, 2008 02:19:47 PM
Far from top notch? I think the very idea of shooting documentary style is what made that first sequence as amazing as it is! So the ending is a bit Spielbergish, but so what? After the first 22 minutes I didn't care what the hell happened afterwards. That set the tone for the rest of the movie.

QT flopped with GRINDHOUSE, smart to get Arnie, Sly, Bruce... by ABking	Jul 8th, 2008 02:31:46 PM
With a mega flop like GRINDHOUSE behind QT, he would be smart to go after Arnie, Sly and Bruce. Fans would anticipate the film on the level of EPISODE ONE or INDY 4. Did you read that QT and Harvey Weinstien??? What filmmaker/studio would want to pass up an R rated EVENT film like that? QT needs to make a war film that finally lives up to Spielberg's PRIVATE RYAN. Lets face it, BLACK HAWK DOWN is shit compared to RYAN!!! I'm sure Arnie can do small roles even as governor...there is no law that says he can't still act. Sly and Arnie are best friends right now and they would love to make a real bad ass action film together. Add John "Willis" McClain and the film will make certain ammounts of money for any studio. Not to mention Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler bringing in more box-office loot. Come on QT, don't pussy out and not try to get STALLONE & SCHWARZENEGGER. The legend of this cast is too great to not try to bring together! Don't be a pussy dude, please!

Good Lord... by Mo_Green	Jul 8th, 2008 03:07:48 PM
Can you AICN losers get Tarantino's cock out of your mouth for ten seconds and realize that the asshole has not made an actual, non-retarded big-boy movie since 1997? Everything post-JACKIE BROWN has been like a big-budgeted version of those youtube tribute videos that dorks make of their favorite TV shows. WE GET IT! You like shitty old movies that none of us have ever seen. Great. NOW MAKE ANOTHER ACTUAL FUCKING MOVIE!
One Nation Under Zod... by Nachokoolaid	Jul 8th, 2008 03:08:34 PM
You're just as racist as Clint Eastwood. Where are the black actors? Don't you know that blacks were part of every company and regiment in the war? Seriously though, I'd like to see Eddie Murphy in this too.
Why get non actors by PantherMatt	Jul 8th, 2008 03:08:37 PM
Why is everyone so geeked about Tarantino getting people who can't act? OK, Stallone is fine, but Arnold? Come on! His two good roles were Conan and Terminator. Kurt Russell has skills, but Van Damme and Lundgren were out acted by Stuntman Mike's CAR. If Pacino and DeNiro can't manage to make a decent flick together, what makes anyone think these guys can do any better? I like the idea of Tarantino getting folks who can actually do the job
Chris Tucker by Samuel Fulmer	Jul 8th, 2008 03:10:29 PM

Let him play a big singing German Fraloine.
actually - they're criminals by HEADGEEK	Jul 8th, 2008 03:12:14 PM
not soldiers - well - they're ex-soldiers that were off to be executed - hit by a nazi ambush - trying to fight their way through Axis and Allies to get to Switzerland. At least if it is anything like the original. So them being older, isn't a problem. WWII had men of all ages fighting, not just babyfaced teens-twenties. Harry
Just Re-Release the Dirty Dozen by Samuel Fulmer	Jul 8th, 2008 03:14:23 PM
And have Tarantino add in a 15 minute CGI dinner scene where Lee Marvin and the boys talk about the Andrew's Sisters and Howard Hawks films.
A Perfect Mind!!!! by stupidmop	Jul 8th, 2008 03:17:45 PM
Forget this post, I wanna read that awesome spoiler filled review they just pulled of Russell Crowes new movie, a perfect mind, damn studios taking stuff down before we can finish reading it!!!!!! F U Michael Bay!!!
I think I'd be more interested if it wasn't WWII by Samuel Fulmer	Jul 8th, 2008 03:19:23 PM
Even if it's Tarantino, WWII as a backdrop has been done to death in film. Hopefully he actually brings something new to the table. I wouldn't care for it if it's a post-modernist genre meditation like Kill Bill and Death Proof.

Michael Cera! by Gilkuliehe	Jul 8th, 2008 03:30:04 PM
Come on, that kid playing a shaking-nervous crazy ass killer would be awesome. Am I the only one who has thought about this? If so, I want credit when he does so and gets an Oscar and everybody goes apeshit.
Steve Buscemi, Clive owen, Mike Madsen by Silverglade	Jul 8th, 2008 03:31:00 PM
Steve Buscemi could add some humor. Have him be the only one carrying simply a 9 mm pistol. He's cranky, tired, and hilarity ensues. Also, Clive Owen would be great. Michael Madsen would rock. He could fit that Tom Sizemore kind of role and be the ball-breaker.
My casting choices: by mrfan	Jul 8th, 2008 03:33:26 PM
Kurt Russell, Bruce Willis, Josh Brolin, Michael Madsen, Willem Dafoe, and Matt Dillon. Just from the top of my head.

Talkin about what pretty shit the are in.
The other Bruce by zeroalias	Jul 8th, 2008 03:39:11 PM
Can't forget Bruce Campbell and of course you must cast the legendary Franco Nero to be taken seriously.
I get a Kelly's Heroes vibe from this by skimn	Jul 8th, 2008 03:40:41 PM
As far as casting young, you better find some mooks instead of some of the pretty-boys around.
Nachokoolaid by kungfuhustler84	Jul 8th, 2008 03:41:27 PM
I kinda doubt Zod had any racist intentions. Frankly, Sam Jackson has been cast to death, so that would probably just get obnoxious, and I'm not sure Eddie Murphy would fit in with the mood of this movie. What about that guy who plays the president in the Fifth Element? Or Carl Weathers? Now that would be pretty fucking cool. Chris Tucker was cast in a Tarantino movie before, so that might be interesting, if he can chill out a bit.
Jerry Seinfeld, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards by exie	Jul 8th, 2008 03:41:49 PM
Ext. Germany - night Kramer stumbles into a foxhole where Jerry and George hide. Kramer--Nazi's. They're everywhere! George--Oh my God, the Nazi's! Jerry-- Nazi's. Why do they call them Nazi's? George--I don't want to die. I still haven't found a woman who lets me do anal! Jerry-Do they call them Nazi's because they say "no" all the time. If they were more agreeable would they have been called "Yes-sies"? And what's with this Hitler guy and that mustache? Kramer--You know my friend Bob Sacamano had a mustache like that. Maybe he was a Nazi! George -- Do you think they have better food than we do in the prison camp? I'm thinking of surrendering.
Actuallly. forget Chris Tucker by kungfuhustler84	Jul 8th, 2008 03:42:13 PM
that's just a really bad idea
Micket rourke by kungfuhustler84	Jul 8th, 2008 03:45:56 PM
would be perfect for this. and maybe Michael Biehn

He needs to be in this. - No, I don't work for him.
Yeah. Fred Ward would be great. by mrfan	Jul 8th, 2008 03:50:34 PM

Hope this one is chock full of badass cameos by KillaKane	Jul 8th, 2008 03:53:46 PM
I'm hoping QT will get plenty of old skool 'exploitation' stars into IB, as well as a grizzled mob of heavy hitters for the Bastard line up (I doubt Arnie will make it in there though). I'm one for seeing the likes of Clancy Brown, Mike Beihn, Bill Paxton, Bo Svenson, Tim Roth, Steve Buscemi, Mike Madson, Kurt Russell, Sly, Carl Weathers, David Keith etc in the mix.
Fred Ward already did this. It was called by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Jul 8th, 2008 03:59:43 PM
Uncommon Valor. It was the first rated R movie I ever saw.
First by JohnWadePrentice	Jul 8th, 2008 04:01:53 PM
But not in the way you think. I was going to address the bitter, snarky comments that typically appear here but since it's my first post, I'll refrain. Pulp Fiction was a revelation for me and I can't believe that Inglorious Bastards may see the light of day. I won't defend Death Proof because it don't need defendin' and personal taste is relative, the sum total of the intellectual and emotional experiences of an individual. But if you haven't seen any of the "shitty old movies" how can you comment on what you don't know? All this being said, Tarantino brought dialog back from the dead. Alright, bring the pain...

RE: These are soldiers, not fucking pensioners. by Acquanetta	Jul 8th, 2008 04:04:08 PM
You know, I was thinking the same. I realize they're supposed to be criminals, but seriously, are they going to be vets from WWI? And exactly how long have they been sitting around, just waiting to be executed? The "80s action star dream cast" would've been perfect back in the 90s, but it's just a little too late for a 2010 film. Not only would you constantly be wondering, "Why are these soldiers so old?", but you'd also constantly be saying, "Hey look, it's so-and-so!" QT should've made this movie years ago.
Fuck it, start w/ the best Daniel Day-Lewis to start. by GQtaste	Jul 8th, 2008 04:06:13 PM
Then go from there. It aint happening w/ Sly,Arnold, et al. Maybe Willis but I doubt it since he's supposed to do Pinkvile w/ Stone.
Carl Weathers needs to be in this by Dr. Wordsmith	Jul 8th, 2008 04:09:11 PM
Baby, you've got a stew going.
Also, QT has waiteds entirely too long for this to be by GQtaste	Jul 8th, 2008 04:09:52 PM
anything but a huge letdown.
Hoping it's a single movie. by fiester	Jul 8th, 2008 04:17:07 PM
I don't care for the split into two movies thing he did with Kill Bill. With proper editing, he could have chopped Kill Bill down to a single movie. Wanna bet a lot of the length in this flick will be the back stories of the crimes each guy committed? I'm not saying it's not interesting, but neither is it vital for the story. Still each one will get substantial cinematic treatment probably. Make a movie, T. That's A movie, not two movies.
Tarentino made like, what... one and a half good movies? by Ambush_Bug	Jul 8th, 2008 04:20:26 PM
Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill Pt 1. = Good Fun. Jackie Brown = SHIT. Reservoir Dogs = Horribly overwritten and badly directed. Kill Bill Pt.2 = Is he such a hack that he needs over four hours to tell a story, that frankly - other than the over-the-top gore that he stole from Lone Wolf and Cub - was stupid as all fuck. And the list goes on...
C'mon guys! No Old Farts - it will become a silly parody! by LaneMyersClassic	Jul 8th, 2008 04:29:09 PM
You got to go with new blood - usher in a new era of fucked up criminals form today's fresh crop of actors. They don't have to be completely fresh, like say you could have Crispin Glover as some pyscho older guy. But leave yesterday's action heroes in the past and create something fresh.
The fact the film has gone out to the studios... by dr_buggerlugs	Jul 8th, 2008 04:32:27 PM
...is the most interesting development I think; this will be the first non-Weinstein backed Tarantino effort since Reservoir Dogs and to date Tarantino hasn't gone with any of the majors so it'll be interesting to see if they give him the leeway he previously got; my guess is that there is either some left over animosity regarding Grindhouse between Tarantino and Weinstein or perhaps Harvey simply can't take the financial risk again (the article does say that he may be invovled in a producer capacity) - still it'll be interesting to see if the studios let Tarantino be Tarantino or whether we get another beast entirely (who knows, maybe curbing some of his indulgent tendencies could work in the film's favour?)...
Longer is better by JohnWadePrentice	Jul 8th, 2008 04:42:14 PM
Once again, a misnomer. Since when does the length of a film determine the ability of a director? Lawrence of Arabia, at 217 minutes is a masterpiece. You can't fuck with David Lean.
I dont know if I care by metaluna	Jul 8th, 2008 04:44:35 PM
...to wonder if QT's next movie will bewpeth actually parting money for after his last few disappointed and annoyed the hell out of me, my time be patience having to sit through endless smart ass yak yak scenes. From what little I know of this new scenario, it sounds like a dumb ass idea some first year scriptwriter might come up with. And if you think WW2 has been done to death, there's a boat load of real stories and angles that have never been told. No need to go making up some dumb ass caper movie for an excuse to run around and shoot Nazis. THAT'S been done to death. Guy needs to grow up and make a real movie with some emotion instead of the usual predictable schtick. Seriously, talk about flogging areas horse, QT. Enough already.

Willis, Travolta, Jackson and Thurman all took pay cuts to make movies with QT because they believed in him. I seriously doubt Stallone, Arnie, or any of the other guys you're dreaming of will take a drastic cut for this movie. Face it, this is a pipe dream.
And frankly... by wookie1972	Jul 8th, 2008 05:08:43 PM
I have had my fill of Tarantino after Death Proof. He really has a lot to prove right now, and I think going smaller and lower budget would be better than doing this vanity project.
The Old Ones by malcolm_mccallum	Jul 8th, 2008 05:09:02 PM
I want one scene with Sly, Arny, Bruce, and the other icons: Our young heroes, all cocky and full of themselves, run up against a unit of American Rangers, made up entirely of old action movie vets. After an intense staredown, the new heroes back down and carry on their way. QT is getting better. Kill Bill was brilliant and Death Proof was genius.
Okay, now let's choose some actors that won't break a hip by SirLoin	Jul 8th, 2008 05:19:13 PM

Mr. Sinister by wookie1972	Jul 8th, 2008 05:56:45 PM
I agree. I've said this before, but Jackie Brown was more or less a movie for grownups. QT got scared when it got a less-than-stellar reception and regressed into the idiot-savant fanboy that people wanted it to be.
QT...seems more a Celeb that a Director now by conspiracy	Jul 8th, 2008 05:59:38 PM
Really the last few things he has done have not been all that good..Kill Bill SHOULD have been GREAT, but dragging it out for 2 movies was simply silly. Have not seen Death Proof..nor judging by reviews/talkbacks will I. It seems QT exists today simply to talk about himself at Geek conventions, on late night TV, or anytime there is a Camera within 50ft.
How can anyone not be excited about this? by depalma25	Jul 8th, 2008 06:01:48 PM
Although I think the idea of bringing these 80's action stars together is a bit of a stretch, and I doubt QT is even considering this. The Govenator just can't go off and make movies, he's got a freakin' state to run. They're 65 years old for Christ sake. QT has said that he doesn't write for stars, but has and will find the best actor for the part: popular, once-popular, whatever. I think it will be a mesh up of some of our best character-actors working today, some very well known stars, and some stars of yesteryear. You won't see any pretty boys in this film. He's looking for his Dirty Dozen. Oh, and the film should be estrogen free. Unless, it's a chick getting banged in a flashback or something. Ya know, in good taste.

Script by FentonCrisp	Jul 8th, 2008 06:11:26 PM
Got a copy. Not sure if it was the one that got sent to Beaks. If it's real, apparently QT thinks "Bastards" is spelled "Basterds." You'd think he'd have looked it up some time in the past decade.
And Beaks, you should fucking know better by Drunken Rage	Jul 8th, 2008 06:18:35 PM
with KILL BILL and DEATH PROOF, he QT "was able to gradually expand his visual vocabulary to the point where, now, no one can possibly question his ability to pull off a full-on combat film." Yeah, we can, because "Kill Bill" and "Deathproof" were both fucking nearly unwatchable. There is no defense for the over-written boredom that was "Deathproof." Absolutely none. And anyone thinks so needs to get off QT's crack pipe.

Will Tarantino ever create something original? by jrb	Jul 8th, 2008 06:19:55 PM
I love WWII movies as much as the net guy and I certainly will go see this (assuming it ever gets made). But is it true that this is a remake? He's taken god knows how many years to rewrite someone else's creation? Okay, I get it. He likes crappy 70's B-movies. Can't he come up with something original for a change? Pulp Fiction had an original vision to it even as it drew from so many pop culture references. Everything else has been a sad attempt to make a "fake B-movie". It's as if he's become a parody of himself. I was encouraged by the news so many years ago that he was working on a WWII flick. Now that I hear that he's ripping off someone else's creation YET AGAIN I must admit that I don't feel any excitement for it. Also, enough with the wet dreams about Stallone, Arnold and every other fifty or sixty year old former action star. That would be the lamest thing ever. Give us good character actors who would be the right age for a combat infantryman. The entirely under appreciated Michael Shannon from the movie BUG would get my vote.

Yeah I know I said he is over, but he's over like Prince or Springsteen or any other artist who peaked in the stratosphere earlier in their careers.

So yeah, IB will probably suck, but Taratino will always be the bad mofo.

Here's why Kill Bill fades in memory... by Librerarian	Jul 8th, 2008 07:04:03 PM
QTs best films, in addition to being well written narratives with inventive camera work and great dialogue (all of which Kill Bill had), are built around a set of great performances. Not so with Kill Bill, really. Beatrix Kiddo was supposed to be the ringleader of that show, and she never really came alive as a character... Uma wasn't bad in the role, but she also wasn't classic or even that memorable. She seemed kind of vacant, and perhaps a bit confused about what she was doing there... it wasn't her fault, really, she was just slightly miscast. Uma Thurman does not really = vengeance and anger. A young actress with more fire like Jennifer Jason Leigh, Sean Young, or heck, Michelle Pfeiffer in Catwoman mode would have been better. Uma just couldn't sell the lethal rage of that character... that's why the film has faded somewhat in the minds of fanboys.

Yeah, that's the major problem with these WWII ensemble pics, TOO MANY REACTION SHOTS. Hell, the Dirty Dozen is like 85% reaction shots. It's like... Line of dialogue, followed by shot of Lee Marvin lookin' at Bronson. Shot of Bronson lookin' at Borgnine. Borgnine lookin' at Cassavetes. Cassavetes lookin' at Jaeckel. Jaeckel trying not to look at Kennedy. Kennedy glancing at Ryan. Ryan scowling at Meeker. Lopez trying to keep a straight face as he nudges Savales. Sutherland grinning as he looks around at everyone. Next line of dialogue... rinse and repeat.

It was a great 100 minute film crammed into four hours. Self-indulgent toss of the highest order. If QT loves exploitation cinema so much, he should go to Roger Corman, get $750K and make a movie the proper way in 30 days. Ten years to write a "guys on a mission" movie? The dilatory cunt.

Ever since Pulp Fiction, people have been calling him a hack who got lucky and peaked too soon, but it's fact that every single one of his movies wins over a dedicated cult following.

I'm watching America's got Talent right now, and this martial artist used the song from the Kill Bill trailer as their background music, then this trailer for a local law office came on and they used a cheap knockoff of that song, and then a Kung Fu Panda trailer came on using that song. It's kind of stupid to argue that the movie hasn't left a mark.
William Smith, 74, update by Cruel_Kingdom	Jul 8th, 2008 08:21:07 PM
Worked on a project with William Smith a few years ago. The man has Alzheimer's. Seriously. He was reading me his poetry in that cool raspy voice of his and then about two minutes later he read the same poem. He did this several times, each time first telling me the same background story about the forthcoming poem. It was really heartbreaking. Sad thing is, he's still doing films WITH ALZHEIMERS. Granted, they're bottom of the barrel flicks, but it's kind of a shame to sort of prop the old man up and have him talk in front of cameras. (He can't remember any dialogue.) Another time I saw him at a convention. A fan brought him a poster of one of his biggest hits and Bill says, "I'm not in this movie! I've never heard of this movie!" It was truly a sad sight to behold.

If you don't think the final climactic scene in Mexico with Bill, Beatrix, and Bebe is touching, scary, and heartbreaking all at once, then I feel sorry for you. Come on, that last shot of Bill taking the five steps has got to give you chills! Fuck, and another thing, Tarantino movies are LONG people. He lets his characters breathe. Would you call Glengarry Glen Ross too "wordy?" If the first group of girls in Death Proof hadn't talked about guys for half an hour, I would have never got to see that they were all pretty cool and would definitely not have cared when the hot Latin one got her face sliced off. I would have never learned the secret meaning to "Like a Virgin." I would have never learned how Christopher Walken was determined not to "let the slopes get their greasy little hands on the boy's birthright." Every long monologue is an enriching story unto itself. I hate all of you.
Necgray by SirLoin	Jul 8th, 2008 11:33:48 PM
I completely disagree on Grindhouse. Planet Terror felt like an homage or tribute to Grindhouse movies - it was always winking at you. Tarantino actually made a grindhouse film. He took the assignment seriously and didn't worry about hitting all the fanboy notes just right - instead he shot the film fast, dirty, and without a lot regard to the ending, which was perfect. It was a grindhouse movie through and through - reckless, shoddy, visceral, and ultimately A THROW AWAY MOVIE. That's the key - it was never meant to be a masterpiece. It was meant to be a shitty but fun double feature. And in that sense, the film was flawless.
I love how Quentin has to re-prove himself on each new film.... by ribbitking	Jul 8th, 2008 11:46:51 PM
...and that's because he's not trying to repeat himself over and over... been awhile since anyone in a black and white suit has shown up. I remember after Jackie Brown everyone said he lost it,... most misunderstood that Jackie was his version of an Elmore Leonard novel. So then he had to prove himself with Kill Bill. Then comes Death Proof, which i love, but even though most agree he proved himself as an action director... alot of people thought the movie sucked. Idk what my point was, but watch T reprove himself again.
I'm a QT Fan... by rhcp2sweet	Jul 9th, 2008 12:20:27 AM
But even I can't defend the self-indulgent crap that was death proof. I wanted to love it but just couldn't get past the excessive pop culture dialogue. I actually went back and rewatched the "extended cut" on DVD and the film was even worse. Besides the last 20 minutes the movie is an overlong bore. I have high hopes for IB and hopefully it is a creative reawakening for QT but that is going to require him cutting down his dialogue scenes and keeping the plot moving.
Won't QT have to join Director's Guild to take it to a studio? by Greenflame0	Jul 9th, 2008 02:24:18 AM

Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are classics. Jackie Brown and Kill Bill 1 are excellent. Kill Bill 2 is good. Death Proof is pants, apart from the car chase and the cinematography. I see a trend here and I hope Quentin bucks it. Everyone loves a comeback.
Tehre's an underlying element in these posts that he needs the s by zapano	Jul 9th, 2008 04:19:24 AM
That's ridiculous. Apart from Deathproof, all his movies have been strong financial successes. He needs to go back to casting excellent actors and none of these second rate wananbes that ruined deathproof. Thurman and Carradine was bad casting as well that severly undermined the Kill Bill films.

one of the best movie-going experiences I've ever had. I loved it both times I saw it on opening weekend! Overall it was my 4th favorite movie of the year (Grindhouse as a whole) behind No Country, There Will Be Blood, and Gone, Baby Gone. To me, Quentin has never had a mistep. Not ever movie is going to be the same. My favorites are his epics (Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill), but I several people who prefer his smaller movies (Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown, and Deathproof). I have never seen so many haters on one message board. Hate all you want, but Inglorious Bastards is going to rock!

So it won't make much sense to have a squad of 50 year old soldiers will it?
Tara--who by FGT	Jul 9th, 2008 09:53:02 AM
T is for talentless. Can't act, certainly can't direct and can't write. Please will somebody put him out of our cinema going misery...I swear I'd rather watch Matrix 3 than on of his films..

mind you I'm not so good at typing.. :) Doh.. should have read 'one of his etc'
It doesn't matter what "average age" is... by Phimseto	Jul 9th, 2008 11:09:20 AM
...Tarantino should definitely go nuts with the casting and get some "greatest hits" types in there. My only reservation is that, as fun as it would be to see Arnold in one last good film, he pretty much nailed the "Inglorious Bastards" role in "Predator". Unless Tarantino casts Schwarzenegger on the NAZI side. That would be pretty wild, but only if he surrounded him with people like Udo Kier and Sebastian Koch and some other badass German actors I don't know about yet.
Will Tarantino use a composer this time? by Nasty In The Pasty	Jul 9th, 2008 11:10:46 AM
Yeah, The RZA and Robert Rodriguez provided some original score cues on both volumes of Kill Bill, but I can't imagine Tarantino's penchant for "hip", forgotten songs from the 60's and 70's attached to a WWII flick. Q should get a great composer who's shamefully underemployed and give him a Travolta-like "comback" score, like Fincher did with David Shire on Zodiac.
Script? by JustThisGuy	Jul 9th, 2008 11:24:36 AM
Alright, who wants to hook us all up with some nice summer reading? Fenton Crisp?
Will lose respect for QT if............. by ABking	Jul 9th, 2008 11:28:48 AM
...he doesn't grow some fucking balls and get SLY and ARNOLD to commmit to this project. If he can do that, he will get all the financing he wants!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hopefully he won't use a composer by Stollentroll	Jul 9th, 2008 11:36:20 AM
I remember QT talking years ago about how he would like to use songs by Edith Piaf on the soundtrack...that would make a lot of sense, actually.
Brian Dennehy, Max Von Sidow & Clarence Williams the 3rd! by ganymede3010	Jul 9th, 2008 12:05:30 PM
Now that's an A list cast;)
I think QT should use only actors who have actually served time. by LaneMyersClassic	Jul 9th, 2008 12:23:54 PM
To lend some authenticity - I guess that means Sizemore, R. Downy Jr., and Nick Nolte are in it for sure. OJ as a Nazi sympathizer???
Mike Tyson as the creepy rapist. by LaneMyersClassic	Jul 9th, 2008 12:27:04 PM
I know, not much of a stretch.
When is QT going to do a western? by Pops Freshemeyer	Jul 9th, 2008 01:16:52 PM
Seems like a Wild Bunch remake would be up his alley. And it could be the project for Stallone and Schwarzenegger...
When will QT make a film that is his own by emeraldboy	Jul 9th, 2008 03:32:44 PM
idea and not based on something that has been already done before. ALl of his films, the exception is true romance, are reworkings of other books or films. Is QT capable of making an original film now there is a question. HIs first three films were homages/reworkings of The french new wave and elmore leonard. Kill bill vol one and two were honmages to the Shaw brothers. death proof and planet terror were homages/reworkings of grindhouse.

My wishlist by Peppermint cola	Jul 9th, 2008 05:01:56 PM
ok here is my wish list. The perfect guy for this film and its not gonna happen is Mel Gibson as a grizzled old squadron leader . He looks the part and has that thing about him that lends itself well to this film , but it will be way too distracting to have him fighting Nazi’s, it might become a side joke that takes away from the film. Although maybe killing Nazi’s is a good way for him to show how sorry he is for what he said Clive Owen ( the coolest new actor out there ) Arnold - (as a giddy crazy ass Nazi general , whose always smiling with a cigar in his mouth ) Jason Statham ( just great ) Kevin Durand ( keamy from lost This man has to be in this film) Patrick swayze ( hurry and cast) rutger haur ( another great Nazi ) Will smith ( a great what the fuck casting moment playing a Jim brown fred Williamson role) Ice cube ( i picked will first only because it would be such a clusterfuck to have him in this movie, but ice cube would do a better job ) Michael pare ( he needs a comeback ) Sean Connery ( a small cameo ) Clint eastwood ( same thing) This film also needs to cast a stand up comic playing against type kinda like don rickles did in Kelly’s heroes . I heard Adam sandler was gonna be in the film, so maybe

KB2 was a western of sorts
Mariachi, you boy-gargling pederast by SirLoin	Jul 9th, 2008 11:57:09 PM
Tarantino is a genre filmmaker. Period. But the life and imagination that he infuses his scripts with surpasses 75% of his colleagues out there. Name me another filmmaker that has more engaging dialogue working today. Do it. Name another writer that has a better ear for the female voice than Tarantino. Do it. Name another director that can make "FUCK" sound sweeter than chocolate. Name another director that can have an off-screen voice talk for five minutes while another character looks at the camera and still make it interesting. I defy you.
Guess you've got a point Bricktops. by Pops Freshemeyer	Jul 10th, 2008 12:54:51 AM
I was just sort of expecting him to go super western with cowboys and indians and Mexicans and stuff. Maybe he could remake Posse instead...
coulda been a contender by Steve T	Jul 10th, 2008 07:19:02 AM
Tarantino could have been remembered as one of the great directors of all time, I really think he could. But his output hasn't been high enough (5 films so far, I don't count KB as two films, just one big self indulgent wank, pretty good wank tho). I really hope Inglorious isn't split in two and that someone helps him to rein himself in and distill it all down to one amazing film. Tarantino was a massive influence in the 90s to a lot of directors, that was very obvious, but he needs to buckle down if he wants to be again. Hell, maybe he doesn't?
female voice by Steve T	Jul 11th, 2008 09:34:33 AM
QTs female dialogue is as stylised and unrealistic as his male dialogue. I'm not saying that's a bad thing, it's part of his style, but he in no way writes a genuine female voice.
