So.

The next Tarantino project seems set for a 2009 release. I'm excited, sounds interesting.

Starring Brad Pitt.

"During World War II a group of Jewish-American soldiers known as "The Basterds" are chosen specifically to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by scalping and brutally killing Nazis. The Basterds soon cross paths with a French-Jewish teenage girl who runs a movie theater in Paris which is targeted by the soldiers"

It is indeed.

11/13/2008 10:14:45 PM

What's with Tarantino and always having a heroine as the lead? He has some issues.

11/13/2008 10:17:37 PM

Let me read the script then, Bweez.

11/13/2008 10:27:26 PM

Haven't started it.

Dunno if i'm going to.

11/15/2008 3:53:34 PM

well, Tarantino is a horrible speller for one. but I can see gleams of his genius in the first few pages. it just needs the right actors, and Tarantino has a gift for that.

11/15/2008 4:20:18 PM

ahaha, this could be awesome

I've read the first 60 pages or so, and the Basterds themselves have been present for about ten pages (ten minutes).

hmm.

7/2/2009 12:43:35 AM

I am excited to see it but its weird because the previews dont do it for me.

7/2/2009 2:00:07 AM

^ i tend to agree. tarantino + cast = want to see...but for some reason the trailors don't make me want to see it more.

7/2/2009 2:44:38 PM

just saw a preview, looks interesting. will be seeing

7/23/2009 10:35:13 PM

pumped about this movie

has all the makings of a classic

7/24/2009 8:51:28 AM

i havent read any reviews personally, but i heard it received less than favorable remarks at Cannes or one of the recent film festivals.


this would never prevent me from seeing it on the big screen however.

7/24/2009 9:35:47 AM

I'll probably go see it.

"The title (and partial premise) of the film was inspired by Italian director Enzo Castellari's 1978 movie Inglorious Bastards, but it is not a remake of that film."

shocking coming from tarantino.

8/11/2009 7:00:04 PM

anybody know if there's any midnight showings tonight?

"i havent read any reviews personally, but i heard it received less than favorable remarks at Cannes or one of the recent film festivals."

The review in The Independent made an interesting point about the lukewarm (to put in mildly) reception at Cannes:

Quote :

"But a similar reception was not to occur. Cannes audiences, perhaps a bit exacting in their standards for Third Reich movies and perhaps jaded after 15 years of Tarantinism, failed to offer much love. A Guardian review declared Inglourious Basterds to be "colossal armour-plated turkey from hell" and concluded that he should "go back to making cheerfully inventive outrageous films like Kill Bill. Because Kill Adolf hasn't worked out." What business does this American rube have making a movie about World War II and the Holocaust? Shouldn't he be confined to his Asia-extreme fetishes and shout-outs to '70s schlock cinema? And shouldn't World War II be left to the morally serious, furrowed-brow makers of films like The Reader and Atonement?"

It's also important to keep in mind that Fahrenheit 9/11 won the Palm d'Or a couple years ago, so I wouldn't put a ton of stock in a film's reception at Cannes.

8/20/2009 3:55:16 PM

saps852 and I are going tomorrow night

8/20/2009 4:14:47 PM

Because Farenheit 9/11 was a horrible film right? REAL critics hated it, didn't they?

8/20/2009 4:19:25 PM

Quote :

"Because Farenheit 9/11 was a horrible film right?"

I didn't say it was horrible, I just thought it was a fairly weak polemic and certainly not worthy of the Palm d'Or. And this is completely independent of my political leanings.
