Poll: Inglorious Basterds?

Fair enough. Though I agree with him, personally. In short we found both movies rather drab, long and boring. I won't really delve further into it. As far as listing others we may have liked (yes we are actually real life friends, but don't think this is me running to defend him, regardless of knowing him, with my taste in things I just agree) I really don't feel like getting into it at the moment, he can at a later time if he wants.Tandrews said:
It was bearable, but I almost felt like the movie didn't have a clear identity. It was unadulterated gore and seriousness randomly punctuated by seemingly misplaced gags. Admittedly, I thought it was pretty deep how the audience in Hitler's theater laughing at scenes of gore was meant to parallel the audience around you watching the film itself. But still, it wasn't too memorable for me.
Not Tarantino's best, but still pretty sweet - and some of the shots were beautiful. Had his signature slow pacing, building tension for an almost unbearable amount of time, but for me lacked the charming dialogue that sets up Pulp Fiction so well (and which I enjoyed in Death Proof).
I really didn't find the movie that good, I mean the title implies that it's supposed to be about the Bastards, but it's not, it focuses too much on that girl. It's like two stories trying to compete with each other. The Shoosana girl or whatever her name is makes her side a little too serious while the Bastards side tries to be too humorous, it's like the film didn't know what it wanted and tried to mesh both sides of the film spectrum together.
I'm not saying that the film was all bad, it's just it should have stuck with the title's concept and not tried to put in too much of what it wasn't on.

It's not supposed to be about the Basterds though, that's just the title of the film. The real meaning of the film that I gathered was the power of subtlety through film.BNguyen said:
And blowing shit up.
You are a dick. No lie. I like Quentin, Kill Bill is good, and so is Sin City (guest director). I mean I really did not care about this thread, at all. I also posted that I do not care about this thread. So what the hell makes you think it is a good idea to get on my ass? You didn't even read all of this thread, you just made a premature judgment call. The double negative shouldn't be hard to figure out, and if I "fooled somebody" (which I wasn't trying to), then you have my sincerest apologies. I mean not not obviously means yes because they cancel out. So why would I use something so elementary to try to fool somebody? Me and my friend have been arguing over Inglorious for 2 weeks on and off. I figured I would shut him up. And also, why would I try to make the poll funny? So. Chill. Out.igissx said:
Oh and you spelled *awesome* wrong.
You clearly haven't seen the movie, redo the thread once you have, also, your poll question is so backwards that I believe you already know that most people like the movie and are trying to trick us, like you did me, cause I voted the wrong way...xXAsherahXx said:
You like Pulp Fiction? ORLY? Awesome fucking avatar by the way! XDInstant K4rma said:
OP: I loved Inglorious Basterds and to be honest some of the 'flaws' that you pointed out were the best parts. Its nice to see a movie where what you think is going to happen doesn't.
