now i'm also thinking that it may be a parody of violence itself.

Peckinpaugh's "The Wild Bunch" anyone?

Was The Wild Bunch a parody of violence? I feel the film was Peckinpah doing his thing w/out our modern sense of snark, irony, deep analysis, etc.
American's don't make films like that anymore.

i agree with you, but i also think he went "over the top" to prove his point. a great film, but i think i falls well under exploitation.

I think the posters says it all. (Don't say you have not been warned.)
It might not be a parody in violence - but it certainly is speculation in violence.

I do not think I have to watch this one...

Ah... Basterds.. Dunno either about the contreversy, havent decided what to think about it yet.

I did apply for a job on this film as a storyboard artist though (GOOD LUCK! 'ay?). And heard that there was hundreds of people standing in line (perfectly vintage too) for casting as extras (in Berlin).

I just saw "Kill Bill 1,2" last night on telly for the first time. I'm quite proud of the fact that I have only seen about 1/2 of Tarantino's output - Resevoir Dogs, Kill Bill and Pulp Fiction. All of them are really quite derivitive, shlocky, cartoonish and juvenile.

For the real article I suggest catching a Niikatsu Akushon film fest when it comes to your home town.

Niikatsu Akushon

You might as well see them kind of movies Quentin T. wishes he could make.

I liked some of Terentino's films like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction but I'm not sure of this new one. I'll probably see it just to see it.

Tarantino: Overrated, arrogant Basterd.

Pitt: Non-acting Basterd.

Those responsible for another lame revenge plot, glorifying senseless, cartoonish violence, ala Friday the 13th, Part 110 and/or Jason and Freddie take on Tarantino: Those Hollywood Basterds.

I'm not wasting my 10 bucks.

12 Monkeys.
Fight Club.

He was great in Troy. I thought he captured the arrogance and battle-hunger of Achilleus very well.

i'm sure it won't be accurate.
i'm sure it won't be the greatest piece of film.

but it looks like something i'd enjoy.

i won't pony up the $10 to see it in the theater, but i'll take it out of the library when it finally gets there...

hey, i like all sorts of films, the good, the bad and the ugly.

compared to the amoral/sociopathic/egocentric killing machine of The Iliad, Pitt's Achilles was a sad emotional loser. not that it wasn't a fun movie, but it was too watered down with modern sentimentality to do the source material any justice.

I think Inglourious Basterds is going to be a good movie. As gory as most of his movies are, i think this is going to be the one were they are going to overwork special effects factories for blood and gore props. I hope Tom Savini is behind the special effects make up.

“Once Upon a Time in Nazi-Occupied France.”

“THIS ain’t your daddy’s World War II movie,” Quentin Tarantino said with a grin

Mr. Tarantino calls “Inglourious Basterds” his “bunch of guys on a mission movie.” Judging by the script, it should have the crackling dialogue, irreverent humor and stylized violence that are hallmarks of his work.

i kinda got a moustache like that...lol

i'll see it when it hits the shelves...

I'm looking forward to it. I find Q.T. movies to be fun and entertaining. I saw the preview and I don't think this movie takes itself seriously.

I don't think Q.T. takes any of his movies seriously, they're just a fun popcorn movies.
