Inglourious Basterds

I thought Pitt was great in this movie.

I laughed. It was quite funny. Especially the part where she couldn't breath and it was serious business all over his face: a stark dichotomy to his persona mere seconds prior.

And, if you didn't laugh at him quickly and casually regaining his composure and adjusting himself, you missed some excellent humor from Tarantino.

Also, screw all of you Brad Pitt haters/dislikers. He did a great job in this movie and he consistently picks good films and does well in them.

He did well. Not great, but pretty good. His accent was fail quite a few times, though, which was my nitpick. But, I live in Oklahoma. 😐 It'd be like Bardock nitpicking at some of the German accents.

Alot of the Germans in the movie were actually played by real Germans I believe, so I would think that they would do well in the accent department.

As for Pitt's accent, dunno.

I was talking about the strangling itself; not funny. But that's me, I don't think it was intended as a laugh-out-loud moment. As for him regaining his composure, I recognized the contrast between the calm demeanor he demonstrated throughout the majority of the film and the rage he showed whilst strangling, that was obvious. But again, I didn't find it laugh-out-loud funny. Didn't miss anything. Landa lost control of his temper, killed, then cooled back down. You thought it was funny. My reaction was more: "****, this guy's crazier than I thought/crazier than he's previously let on."

I was referring to Landa and about 3 others who were not natural German speakers. Waltz is Austrian, so it's not that much of a stretch for ears like ours. However, to a native speaker, and one that is good with German, such as Bardock, it would probably sound a tad off. Off in the same way that Brad Pitt's accent sounded off to me. Possibly even moreso.

Dude, you can watch a movie, memorize every gesture, all dialogue, etc. but still miss something.

The humor was lost on you. You don't dig sadistic humor.

Thanks for informing me what my own preferences are. 😐

You're welcome. 😐

Seen it for the third time and I have come to the conclusion that IB have the most saddest scenes in ALL of Tarantino's films. I'm speaking of course of the

Spoiler:
Shoshana death scene.

If the opening scene makes you sad...then this ones makes your eyes watering...my goodness! Only three films have made me cry.

Schindlers list, Amistad, and....I can't remember too sad. 🙁

Loved this movie! I thought the basement scene really played out nicely. Tarantino can sure hold suspense like no other. Also, I loved the close up of the carving at the end, classic.

I loved when Eli Roth's character

Spoiler:
was beating that German with his club and they cut to the wide shot from high above and you could see his head being bashed in and blood spraying everywhere. It looked so real.

i no
looked like his face was flyin

Awesome movie, Pitt made it..he made me laugh every time he was on screen..he was the PERFECT choice for that role. I loved this so much more then District 9 (which I actually didn't even like). I think the people who are dissapointed with this movie took it a bit too seriously.

Saw it, loved the craftsmanship that went into this film, you could tell Taratino dipped into his can he's accumulated over the years for this, but there's all kinds of nuances that I didn't like. Because of that, I wouldn't call this a masterpiece, I wouldn't place it on Children Of Men's level of brilliance.

While I loved loved loved Pulp Fiction (and still do), as well as Jackie Brown and the Kill Bill films (I'm completely indifferent to Death Proof, if anything I have no real desire to see it again) I'm now beginning to understand why several film-makers, film professors, and film lovers have no real use or interest in Quentin's films. Its starting to get apparent why. He's losing his touch with humanity the more films he makes, with no real safety net below him to work with. The first thing that jumped at me was the final moments of this film, how utterly self-masturbatory those last words were.

I only just now watched this movie.

God F*cking Damn, this movie was boring.

I meam, OMG, this movie was f*cking boring.

The only saving grace was the ultra bad ass villain of Hans Landa.

If I wanted to watch a f*cking foreign film with subtitles, I'd have rented a f*cking foreign film.

Brad Pitt and his squad of basterds were nothing more than comedy relief. I'd almost rather watch Death Proof again.
