i l iked them both, but as stand alone movies, Planet Terror was more entertaining. Zombie movies rule.
either way, it is best viewed in an older theater so that you can get the full effect of what they were trying to accomplish.
It tihnk it would be cool to see it in an old theatre ... we have a few here in SF. I love seeing old 70s movies in them like The Warriors or The Exorcist.

Am I the only one who didnt love Inglorious basterds? It was a good film, not bad. That opening sequence with that man on the farm and the nazi general is brilliant. Absolutely brilliant. The tension in that scene is absolutely perfect But I didnt love the film.
I love Tarantinos films. As a film lover myself, I look forward to each new flick of his, in large part because his own "fanboyishness" and his love of movies shines through. He just beams a passion for the art form. He is a film lovers film maker.
And I think he has had an incredible run of movies. Resevoir, Pulp Fiction, jackie, Kill bill 1 and 2, Grindhouse. And being the writer for From Dusk Til Dawn. That is a HELL of a run. I guess after loving Kill Bill 1 and 2 and Grindhouse, I was hoping he would blow me away again.
you're the first i've heard to say basterds was better than death proof...
i mean i enjoyed death proof but it just really didn't do it for me. it's definitely in tarantino fashion with the end scene and all (who was expecting it to end like that?).
but the first time i watched basterds, i liked it. i was expecting more. i think i wanted to see more nazi killing; there's honestly not much especially for a movie where it's just about some americans killing nazis. and i expected (spoiler alert) hitler's death to be more well...spectacular. i thought bear jew was gonna knock his head off or some shit like that.
but after i watched it the second time...holy shit! that movie kicked ass. it was amazing the second time. you notice so much more. like when hans landa sits down with shoshanna to talk and he orders a glass of wine and goes "and for her...she will have a glass of milk." HOE-LEE-SHIT. my reaction the second time viewing that was unbelievable...it just makes your heart drop.
but friend, being that it seems that we are both on the same boat here i suggest that you watch it again. it worked for me.
Beavis: All my friends are brown and red? What does that mean?
Butthead: It means that his friends are like turds and that they like suck.
Beavis: Heh heh. Oh yeah. Yeah! Get those spoons out of my face before I shove them up your butt!
Butthead: Huh huh.
I loved it, but to each his own. Movies do different things for different people. I thought the movie "Crash" was a heavy-handed piece of shit, but somehow it won an Oscar for Best Film.
You are dead on about "Crash". What a pile of shit.
Im always the last one to see these movies. Just watched it tonight for the first time and was blown away. So f'n cool.
Not as good as Kill Bill or Pulp Fiction, but better than Jackie Brown, Reservoir Dogs and Grindhouse.

lol @ Crash....gee...huhh I wonder id Matt Dillon ends up saving the black girls life?
as for I.B. I bought it on Bluray release day just because it looked like some I would like and was on sale....I loved it....I am going to wait a couple of more weeks and watch it again. Not a Sox fan, but it was darkly amusing when the bearjew gave the Ted Williams play by play....also enjoyed the bar scene...great movie however I did expect more "killin nazi's"

That part was awesome. He bashes the guys brains in.

I thought the bar scene was actually better than the opening sequence. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed this film.
Tarantino, at his best, is masterful at building scenes before/around/after the scene you expect to see. Like in R. Dogs, you never see the bank robbery. On a first watch, you expect to see the bank robbery, but he never shows it to you. In Pulp Fiction, so much is made of the boxing match, but you don't see it. In the Bear Jew/Scalping scene, it is obvious a big ol' shootout/ambush just occured, but he doesn't show it to you. You expect more actual Nazi killin' from the Basterds, but he doesn't show it. His directing reminds me a bit of my own writing style in that I try to only reveal what I have to; you don't ever get the whole picture. That you have to piece together in your head.
I really loved this movie.

This was one of three (catch up movies) on the weekend. The Bachelor Party and District 9 were the other two. The all were pretty disappointing after hearing the hype. So you are not alone.

Do you mean The Hangover, or do you actually mean Bachelor Party ... because if you say the below movie is overrated ... we're going to have words!

As far as the opening vs. the bar scene, they are both intense. I can't put one in front of another. The whole movie is just phenomenal.
Yes, The Hangover. So good I forgot the title. :roll:
