Inglorious Basterds!

[Sysman]

Yeah, QT got german actors for the german parts and French for French parts. For a change, they all spoke their native languages as well. Over half the film is subtitled.

I had to chuckle last night when watching Shining Through. It got to the point where it was threatening to become all subtitles so they cut back to the old lady reciting her memories in a TV show where the presenter asked her to tell her story in English.

Sadly yet another war film where the Yanks claimed the credit for stuff the British did: linky

[Evil Hangover]

Saw thus last week. A bum numbing 2 1/2 hours, and instantly forgettable film from a director who hasn't made a good film in years.

He set a very high standard early on, but this effort is a self indulgent waffle fest, that lacks the subtletly and wit of his earlier classics.

Saw this last night

Seemed like his most polished film yet. Felt more of a mature offering than pulp fiction and resevoir dogs

One thing I did pick up on though.... this is the second film in which Brad Pitt has gone round scalping Germans!

[Menelaus]

Saw IG the first day it was out in the preview weekend last weekend.

Cliche-laden? Oh yes.

Hitler = caricature? Yes.
UK people = repressed, upper-school idiots of the year? Yes.
Goebbels = ******? Yes.

Forgettable apart from Melanie Laurent who was the only good part in an otherwise wholly forgettable film.

Whilst one might normally expect gore from QT - not particularly in this one.
