I'm a huge fan of that particular plot (I'm an avid reader of Bonhoeffer.) It's also a reference to a famous line about Hitchcock. 2 for 1. - DZ Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:31:52 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-772 Did you make an obscure Valkyrie reference in that second to last paragraph? - J.C.

I too am waiting (im)patiently for this set. I never bought the movies on DVD in protest. I check on it about once a month. Rumor is it will happen soon, possibly in conjunction with 2 animae prequels. Yes. I'm that big a geek. But you all already knew that... - DZ Sun, 06 Sep 2009 08:20:20 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-727 I'm a huge fan of all of QT's movies. (Even Jackie Brown) However, like you, Kill Bill is by far my favorite. For years I have held out buying the DVDs of #1 and #2 in hopes QT would release a five hour director's cut that incorporates his original vision. Please use the huge influence of 18to88 to make this happen. - Doug England Sun, 06 Sep 2009 08:04:00 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-716 And I've been quoting it for two weeks. "Rudy! Harvey from Nations Funding Source needs that wire out in the next 10 minutes........ oblige him!" - J.C. Sat, 05 Sep 2009 16:12:27 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-703 I thought of you several times during the movie actually. I assume you saw it and loved it. - DZ Sat, 05 Sep 2009 10:23:54 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-701 Do you know how many dreams I've had of hitting a Nazi with a TPX? - J.C. Sat, 05 Sep 2009 09:24:22 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-698 Listen, I understand the scene. I think it's amazing. It was just "too much for me". For me personally, the intersection between its value as art and how much it bothered me crossed my "red line". That doesn't mean it wasn't valuable or amazing, just that for me it bothered me MORE than it benefited me. I'm not saying he shouldn't have done the scene that way, just that it prevented me from enjoying the movie or ever watching it again. That's not a judgment on the merits of it, just a statement of what I can handle. - DZ Sat, 05 Sep 2009 08:00:02 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-697 Wow.. I thought that scene in Resevoir Dogs when "Stuck in the Middle with you" starts playing was absolutely brilliant. The song and his dancing when the character had sick, dark intentions to torture the tied up man, exemplified his mental state of mind. Can't believe you don't like that scene! - T I Sat, 05 Sep 2009 07:06:20 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-696 Movie delays aren't bad here. Most come out at the same time, or are delayed by a week or two. Basterds debuted here on Thursday, so that's not a bad lag time. Most really big blockbusters have a same day, or day earlier release. Yeah, the reviews confused me too, but I think it's because there are a lot of people that flat don't like Tarantino films. If you do, or even if you can appreciate them, you'll love this. - DZ Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:17:22 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-695 I'm impressed that the movie is already out down there? My family is from Uruguay (across the river) and as a kid I always felt like it took 6-12 months for movies to come out down there. I specifically remember watching the Adams Family like a year after it came out. It's nice to hear they're catching up. Also, I really enjoyed the review. I wasn't sure about seeing it b/c it just seems so odd and the reviews in general seem confused about it. I'll definitely make sure to see it now. - PSvirsky Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:13:57 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-694 Oh, Pulp Fiction is an incredibly important movie for sure. I'm not minimizing it's effect. My respect for both PF and Dogs is endless. There just happened to be things in both that put me off personally. I know Demond is a PF devotee for sure. I can't believe I forgot to mention the subtitles. I watched it here in Argentina, which means I was reading all of it in Spanish. Sigh, I don't even notice subtitles any more. Yeah, it's an important point though because it makes the movie feel like a 'foreign film' almost. - DZ Sat, 05 Sep 2009 06:01:51 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-693 Christopher Walz's performance is truly amazing and it carried the movie. I saw the movie last night and though I heard it was subtitled I was surprised at how much there was. I'd guess that fully half the movie is subtitled...perhaps more. Not that if affected Tarantino's usual kitchy dialogue in the slightest. It was as enjoyable to read as to hear. Tarantino has a genre almost to himself as his style is so unique. You could've watched this movie without knowing who made it and easily guessed afterward whose work it was. That's both a blessing and a curse IMO since he is so talented at this style but I feel like I've been here before. After seeing the movie my main concern (as a former History major) was how many young kids would watch the movie and somehow think that's how the war ended. Gulp! While Pulp Fiction may not be your favorite you have to acknowledge that it was a culturally significant film. It shook up a tired movie industry and spawned a number of copycat directors and movies around the romance of small-time crooks. Perhaps the most important film of the '90's. - C Biscuit Sat, 05 Sep 2009 05:21:59 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-691 Well, "life altering" is a figure of speech, of course, but it is a movie that I loved both at the time it came out, and later. I think about it and refer to it regularly. It wasn't the Royal Tennebaum's or The Empire Strikes Back, but it was easily one of my top 10 of the decade. - DZ Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:20:52 +0100 http://www.18to88.com/2009-archives/september/glorious-basterds.html#comment-690 Kill Bill was life altering? Interesting how people have such different tastes because I thought that movie was just OK. Thanks for the write-up. - Merr Sat, 05 Sep 2009 03:16:06 +0100
