Poll: Inglorious Basterds?

[clipse15]

How could anyone say that this film was directed at the young gore loving crowd? The majority of this film isn't even in english which i'm surprised that QT had the balls to do that. Take a look at Valkaryie (SP) who we're just supposed to accept that they're speaking German even though everything they're saying is english. I personally thought this was QT's best directed film ever.

It was alright. But it had it's moments where it was unbelievably stupid. Also, Christoph Waltz gave one of the best performances in cinema history.

It was slow, boring, and awful. Terentino (I know I'll be flamed for this lol) Needs to stop making films and go to a part of the world so we can forget he exists.
The only thing I give it credit for, is doing the same thing "Valkyrie" did....keeping it so they didn't succeed in killing Hitler.

Dude... the events portrayed Valkyrie really happened. Thats pretty much how the assassination attempt went down. Its based on real events. In Inglorious Basterds they succeed in killing Hitler. Hell they shoot his body to pieces with sub machine guns.

Yeah, I know "Valkyrie" was based on a true story.
Forgive me for forgetting how Basterds ended. I tried to block it's atrocity from memory.

Well given that it was one of the best films of the year, and frankly it was HITLER GETTING SHOT WITH MACHINE GUNS! forgetting what happened seems a bit strange

Avatar was one of the "Best Films of the year" too. I try to forget that exists also.

So what films of 2009 appealed to your amazing and obviously so much more refined than my own tastes?

I never once, said anything about my taste in movies being better than yours. I'm just stating my opinions, and you seem to be getting bent out of shape about them.

You are avoiding the question.

You're absolutely right. I am avoiding the question. I'm also avoiding a potentially stupid online debate over something as simple as an OPINION.

I am stupid now? Well that is so nice of you to say.

Ummmm.....do you read things through? I said a potentially stupid debate. I didn't say a "debate with a stupid person" What are you trying to accomplish by twisting my words?
LOL, sigh.

I am trying to get an answer to my question.

Sorry. I'm going to use my super evasion skills to continue avoiding the question.

Did you roll a reflex save?

lol, yup. My skill mod is a +10 but I get a -2 for being a fatty. I rolled a 15. The dc for avoiding the question was 20.

 

[Marik2]

I was meh. SO much talking, which made me lose interest. The action scenes were really good though.

And that is the problem these days. People mostly wanna see action scenes instead of suspense building.

I like suspense building, but I thought they were taking it a bit too far, I was nearly zoning out.

Alright point taken...

 

[Busdriver580]

For me it was the best film of the year other than possibly district 9. I think people didn't like it because it was advertised like a brutal revenge flick, but it was more like an espionage film. It's certainly no pulp fiction tho

I think you are very right, and the people don't like to be surprised! Seems like many are so used to watching the same plot in different movies, that they dislike the interesting turns that the great movies take. And God/equivalent forbid that the good guys don't unambiguously win!

District 9 also rocks, yes.

Not, improved. Just the regular kind.

Damn. if you had failed you would have had to answer HALF the question.

 

[Tandrews]

Damn was completely ninja'd there. I agree completely with atalanta. The whole point of that scene was whether or not he was toying with her the entire time about knowing her true identity and the suspense that that brung.

Sorry (not really :V)

I was a little underwhelmed by some of the opening scenes with the Basterds (they were enjoyable enough, but kind of heavy-handed), but that scene between Landa and Shosanna was just fantastic, and the beginning of all the really good stuff.

Because he singled out avatar and Inglorious and showed dislike towards them. I thought they were some of the better films out last year so i'm surprised is all. Just want to see what his taste in films is like to compare.

I have immensely mixed feelings about Avatar. It was gorgeous and it really shone in 3D and I'm glad I saw it all the pretty, but the plot was paper-thin and filled with enough stereotypes I really hate (Noble savages! Mighty Whitey! Technology and capitalism are evil! Etc etc) that I had a hard time turning off my brain and just watching the glorious scenery roll past.[/quote]

Yeah I must admit the way Eli Roth acted in the beginning scenes annoyed the hell out of me. His pretentiousness kinda spoilt it a bit for me. And going back to the restruant scene, yeah that has got to be one of my favourite scenes from any of Tarintino's films. The dialogue is superb

I went into Avatar not looking for a story but more of visuals experience. I know good special effects and the 3D are no excuse for a lacking story line but I didn't feel it was that bad. Yes its a terrible cliche of a storyline however I found the translation to a futuristic setting quite interesting.
