Inglorious Basterds

[Null]

I still dont see what people find funny about TF 2.

Thank you.

Anyway, yeah the Colonel was great. Was disappointed cause I looked him up to see if there are any other movies I should watch of his but they are mostly all German.

If any scene reminded me of TF2 it was the "Hugo Stiglitz Rescue" scene.

As for the scene with the TF sounds over it, that's not funny at all. In addition, that scene in the movie was ruined by Eli Roth's horrible acting: COME ON UP, BATTER UP, YOU'RE NEXT.

Terribad.

Sounded like a uneducated guy from Brooklyn to me. I was with about 30 of those in my company in the army...

I was absolutely dying at the scene in the theater where Pitt tries to speak Italian.

all 3 of them w/ 'Scusi and Pitt's Italian facial expression had me in tears

[Neosutra]

Liked the movie, but didnt really like the comedy in some of the violence (and that is saying something from me). I dont mind violence and death, but when an entire theater laughs as a german soldier gets his head bashed in, it kinda sickens me.

Kill the people, understand what you are doing means something, and express that message. I realize that grotesque view of humanity was what he was trying to express, but not my style.

And yes, the Italian speaking parts were hilarious.

Correcto.

[Iono]

Maybe it's just me, did anyone else feel like a significant chunk of the movie had been edited out? I had heard that originally, this was intended to be a 2 part movie, like Kill Bill and, though I loved it as is, seemed to me there was something missing that I couldn't put my finger on, first viewing.

To those who've seen the movie:

Spoiler: show

My friend and I can't account for some of the Basterds.... At first there was 8+ Aldo. Then they picked up the guy in the prison, and an english dude. Which makes 11.

The english dude and the guy in the prison along with another bastard died in the bar. -3

the two "Italian cameramen with the bombs in the theater" -2

Aldo and another getting caught by the Jew-hunter" -2

What happened to the other 4? >.>a Probably something I missed, but I never left the theater and for the life of me, neither of us can remember....

Nothing happened to them, they just had no part to play on this mission because they didn't speak German or Italian so they were not involved in the final act

While a true explanation, it seems rather stupid to me XD
Not you, but the screen writing or whatever.

Spoiler: show

I mean c'mon it's called the Inglorious Basterds but we don't get to see what happens to em or in more action >.>a Like waiting around to see if they get captured or something....

More likely than anything they were in hiding if the operation ultimately failed. No sense in putting all your eggs in 1 basket, with at least 5 basterds being put out of commission if it failed, I can understand them wanting to have 4 left over to keep the scalping going afterwards.

[Beckwin]

good movie, but the basterds were secondary to the plot tbh. tarantino threw them in for marketing/a role to put pitt in, I guess. not that i necessarily disliked the basterds and their scenes, but they could've been written out entirely and the movie still would've been just as good.

[SephYuyX]

I was sliiiiightly dissapointed.

I was mislead into thinking there would be A LOT more action than what there was. I liked the movie, but could have been another act or scene that just showed the bastards killing nazis, like the trailer suggested.

Completely agree with this sentiment. The movie was advertised as a "Drop the Basterdz into Germany and watch them kill Nazi's" type movie, but what we got was more of an espionage flick with the Basterdz appearing in barely any of the film. The Trailer was horribly misleading, Brad Pitt and the Basterdz took up 75% of the Trailer, and yet were only in 30% of the movie. While the Jewish girl was in a whole .5 seconds of the trailer yet 60% of the film revolved around her.

Don't get me wrong, it was a great film, but it poorly advertised itself as something it wasn't. I would have been happier if the trailer actually showed what the majority of the movie was about.

Better than those adds that show all the best scenes and the funniest punchline. But yeah, i thought it could have been a lot better. Christoph Waltz was fantastic.

Marketing types find what they think they can use to mount a successful ad campaign. Marketing a movie about 9-10 guys runnin around France killing Nazi's is a lot easier than 2 hours of relatively high brow espionage (for the average American moviegoer) with 30min of killing. Trailer was misleading for a reason, nobody would see it if was advertised for what it was. Further proof of this can be seen w/ the ad campaign for 500 Days of Summer, while broadly it can be considered a romantic comedy its by no means the happy movie tv ads make it out to be.

No big deal it seemed like something Tarantino does in his films. In Reservoir Dogs, how many scenes do you see Mr. Blue or Mr. Brown in aside from the opening scene or when they get their names?

The first chapter seemed kinda slow but in relation to the whole movie it's necessary set-up time. The movie viewing scene was artistically amazing.

Anyways, saw this instead of waiting an extra hour and a half for District 9. Totally worth it though. I don't really know where to rank this among all QT's films yet though (and no I don't count Grindhouse: Death Proof).
