A straight-up masterpiece.
If this isn’t the movie Tarantino was born to direct (that was probably Pulp Fiction) OUATIH is unquestionably the movie his 27-year career has been chugging toward, the one where it all comes together: a passion for forgotten B-movies, for correcting history, for all things pop culture (including commercials), for a time and place before the disease of chain restaurants and big box stores infected every other time and place, for obscure pop songs the now-corporatized Oldies Stations refuse to play, for cooler than cool men who are all men, for womenly women who are all woman, and for a deliberate pace that slowly raises a middle finger to the MTV-afflicted.
OUTIH is not just a movie, it’s an experience — a hypnotic, captivating, immersive tour. Over one weekend in early February 1969, Tarantino dedicates himself to taking us back to a Hollywood that probably never existed — a magic place, where it’s still safe to pick up hitchhikers and leave your doors unlocked. A fabled place, where the hippies are still everything they say they are: all about peace, love, and easy sexuality. A mythical place, where the studios and their clean cut, square-jawed heroes have not yet been replaced by Easy Riders and Raging Bulls.

I cannot wait to see this movie again … and again … and again … and again.

Inglorius Bastards was a masterpiece and so was Jacky Brown. Hateful 8 I loved. I think he’s the best filmmaker in Hollywood by far
Inglourious Basterds was tremendous. A tremendous waste of a precious two hours. How anyone over the age of 12 could see that film as anything more than a prepubescent vision of the Dirty Dozen for our nihilistic age is behind me. As if Beavis and Butthead wrote the script. Pure garbage.
So I’ll put you in the “Thumbs Down” column.
Inglorious Bastards is one heck of a good movie.
Well...I saw it.
To anyone who doesn’t want to give their money to Quentin Tarantino or the studios, I respect your decision and I really couldn’t say you’re missing out on anything by not seeing it. It’s an ode to the old Hollywood as only he can deliver it. The ending is worth the price of admission.
He’s not in “Reservoir Dogs.”
That reminds me of the old story of a pair of goats who got loose on a Hollywood back lot. One of them found some outtakes and started eating them.
“How are they?” asked his friend.
“Pretty good,” he replied, “but not as good as the book.”
That was a during time when I though Holly Hunter and Jan Hooks were one in the same person. It’s sad because if there were no Holly Hunter, Jan Hooks might have been a (bigger) star.
Come on kill bill was good too.
Divine intervention I would say.
That guy was truly scary in that movie.
I watched preview and am definitely going to see it. Emailed a few friends inviting them to join me, but I’ll go alone if they don’t want to go. Did I tell you I was invited to the party where Sharon Tate and Jay Sebring were killed?
So of course I must see this.

Yes.
THAT scene was AWESOME.
Also the one in “Desperado.”
Your guardian angel was on the job that night!
I'm with ya. I think the guy's sick. Culture Rot personified. Part of the problem.
I just watched True Romance, a 1993 film. Tarentino wrote the script.
Starring Christian Slater, Patricia Arquette, Dennis Hopper, Christopher Walken, Gary Oldman, Brad Pitt, Tom Sizemore, Michael Rapaport.
It was bloody hilarious brilliant.
Check it out.
“The rest of the film, imo, falls flat..”
Aw, dude, there many awesome scenes in True Romance.
I loved the scene in the motel room when the goodfella comes to reclaim his dope & Patricia Arquette totally takes him on.
Also the scene where Bronson Pinchot is wearing the wire.
