Movie of the year. Best Tarantino.

Didn't like it.

My favourite part is the entire scene that takes place in the tavern
Amazing dialogue between the SS soldier and the British fake

Diane Kruger is fabulous in the movie as the Hammersmarck chick

Shoshanna's character is exaggerated although I fucking love her french in it, as well as her attitude towards the war hero dude.

Also, I want to KILL Colonel Landa when he speaks anything but Germain in that movie. His french is brutally annoying - especially in the beginning when he repeats the word "lait" at the dairy farmer's house

Shoshanna is hot. Landa is the best character in the movie for sure.

I'm a jerkoff. I took this long to watch it, but I just did. Holy shit, the dialogue is simply fantastic in this film. So damn good. And you cannot say enough about Christoph Waltz's tour-de-force performance. He stole every scene he was in. Glad to see the Golden Globe went to him. Deservedly so.

The only thing that threw me off was seeing Mike Myers in the film. I kept picturing him as a character from Austin Powers, and that threw me off a bit. Not sure why, but it did.

can't be said enough, too bad she only goes for the black guys

one of the most degenerative movies I've ever seen. and probably Brad Pitt's worst acting

Shut the fuck up, Tavarisz.

Haven't you been controversial enough today?

im sure after you have some of this, you will get over it

The best part was when the German officer tried to nail the French chick, and when she finally implied he might have a chance he went "WHAT??"

He deserves more recognition than that, in my opinion. Some of the finest acting I've seen in a while.

I prefer german WW2 movies rather than hollywood ones. Some of the best war movies ever are german ones.

This isn't really a movie about WW2, though. This is a movie about WW2 movies and power of cinema.


It's really quite mind-boggling how many people can't read this film correctly.

"But... it's not historically acurate!"
"It's just a jewish revenge fantasy!"
"I thought there would be more Basterds action as the trailer promised, and all I got was loads of boring dialogue!"

Although I was expecting a literal montage of natzy killin, I thought this movie was extremely well done. I didn't see it as a movie about movie making though

Not movie making, just movies. Think about how many conversations there are about german cinema, plus many references to other movies (it's obviously Tarantino). That's just the literal part.

There is an actress and a film critic fighting against the Nazis and Shoshanna owns a movie theater. It is literally (highly flammable nitrate) film that burns down the theater, kills all the Nazis and ends the war.

That's strange. It seems like most people have seen another movie than the massively uninspired, below-average borefest that ran in our cinema under the same name.

We get it, Meat. You don't like Tarantino and his films. You and Nou have weekly meetings on how much he sucks as a writer and director.

Shit, I agree with Nou on this one? NOU?!?!
Fuck, I meant to say this is an awesome movie.

I can see how one can hate Tarantino, some of his movies feel like a chore to sit through (Reservoir Dogs for me... yeah). The Basterds are different, though. It's not like you have to know hundreds of obscure pulp movies to enjoy all the knowing winks, this movie can entertain you on its own. You just have to be familiar with the basics of WW2 history and some of the stereotypes to see how Tarantino subverts them. You will still miss more subtle references and jokes but it shouldn't ruin the whole experience.

And who would be hating on Tarantino here? I don't, and openly admit that he has done good stuff, foremost Pulp Fiction. However he's pretty overrated imho, and his recent work, while not horribly bad, is uninteresting and mediocre at best.
What especially irritates me is how everyone who wants to be avant-garde and sophisticated names Tarantino as a favorite and raves about how brilliant his dialogues are. Not talking about anyone here, but I've heard this from friends and people I met where it was clear that they had absolutely no clue what they were talking about.
I have no problem with people liking him or his work, but what's annoying is how few people seem to possess the slightest faculty of judgement, instead they're simply fans of just about any shit he throws out.

Yeah, but it's those people who are stupid, not Tarantino. I understand how can it influence your judgment of those films overall, but you still haven't said why do you think his movies are uninspiring (Basterds specifically).

For the record, I didn't mean to say you hate Tarantino; I just know he's controversial and people usually have strong opinions about him.

I have. Just a quick summary, as I have to work:
The first part of the movie is utterly boring. Diane Kruger is a terrible actress. The plot is not good at all, and not dense or well written. Take Til Schweiger's character for example. He serves no purpose whatsoever, and there's no need to have him in the movie at all. There are other scenes as well that are rather useless and just seem like a try-hard attempt by Tarantino to be cool and different, while his main concern should have been to be entertaining. For large parts of this very long movie he isn't. Christoph Waltz alone saves this movie from being utterly bad.

the Jew hunter made the movie.
