roman2003h said:I watched Precious and Inglorious Bastards back to back yesterday. Precious was ok, really nothing special. Really don't have much to say about it. 3 out of 5
Inglorious Bastards is amazing though. This was the second time I saw it and that movie just gets better with multiple viewings. Everything from dialog to cinematography is perfect. I don't think any other movie was able to keep me on the edge of my seat when I knew what was going to happen. And if Christoph Waltz doesn't get an Oscar I am going to be illegitimately upset! The only Tarantino's decision that still somewhat confuses me is casting of B.J. Novak (the guy from the office). 5 out of 5
It did not bother me that much. I think that it had something to do with the fact that there was only one other war meeting portrayed in the movie and in that meeting the Nazis were caricatures of themselves, I think that Tarantino was trying to do same for the British.Blader5489 said:The casting decision that really confused me was Mike Myers. I still have no idea if that was supposed to be some kind of joke or what :lol

A Korean film from 2005, directed by Kim Jee-Woon.
It is absolutely terrific. The director is quoted on the cover saying "I was inspired by Le Samourai and Scarface. If you've seen those films, and not seen this: get it. If you like 'Old Boy', but haven't seen this: get it.

We laughed our asses off once again, discovering countless jokes we missed before. This has to be at least the 5th time we've watched the film, and it kills us every time.
I've concluded that it is my movie of the decade. Absolutely fantastic![]()
Timber said:first of all the visual style was horribly tacky and unfortunately this is not something confined to BB. other period pieces made in recent years like The Aviator and Changeling are guilty of this as well, albeit to a lesser extent. we have come to know the first half of the 20th century thru movies and newsreels of that era and thus we have a mental image of it being in black and white. Now with modern movie technology filmmakers are given the opportunity to portray that time as it really was, as it really looked. What irks me about movies like BB is that instead of going for even the slightest bit of realism they apply these kitschy sepia tones as if it were permanently dawn and give everything this really nasty saturated look. as a result we get images produced by a fabricated nostalgia for a time we havent experienced ourselves and know only vicariously in the first place and it misshapes our conception of it for a second time
oh come on, don't be pedantic. you don't need detailed eye-witness accounts and hours upon hours of colour footage of cityscapes to surmise that never in the history of civilisation did the world ever look so disturbingly glossy. it's like they smeared thick layers of shoepolish over everything from buildings to faces to the damn ocean. so horrid to look at.Blader5489 said:This makes no sense. How can we possibly know ourselves what the first half of the 20th century looked like if our only exposure to it is through films and newsreels that "misshape our conception of it"?

Great movie, very fun to watch. I <3 all Tarantino movies, it didn't disappoint. My only complaint is that Brad Pitt was miscast, he wasn't necessarily bad but I felt like his performance was a bit forced and unnatural for him. If QT had cast a better actor for the role, it could have been an awesome character. I'm sure some people feel differently, though, I was kind of stoned at the time so that might have made a difference. Anways, I still really liked it and look forward to repeat viewings.
Now I just need to see that Avatar movie...
I think that Brad Pitt's character works pretty well. I'm pretty sure that he was supposed to be a bit exaggerated.
What?? I thought this film was really good. They maybe shouldn't sell it as pure comedy, though. It was more awkward and sad than many dramas most of the time. :lol Great film with a great emotional Robin Williams, imo. Huge spoiler!Phantast2k said:![]()
What a waste of celluloid..
You might still want to watch it if you're eager to take a peek at Robin Williams' dick...
ShinAmano said:Caught up on a bunch of recent movies over the holiday break:
District 9 - Really liked it. Thought the main character was a dick and.deserved to die at the end...whole KO'ing the prawn that was trying to help him only to fuck up the ship in his attempt to do who knows what with it
8/10
I just watched The Hurt Locker as well. I liked it a lot, but it felt somewhat weird. The movie was predictable which I did not expect... Still a great action movie.Fireblend said:The Hurt Locker. Not much to say, except it was awesome. Also rewatched Inglorious Bastards, those two are probably my favorites this year, with District 9 a close third.
