I really enjoy it.
Tarantino seems to be the only director out there that isn't a pompous arse or a sell-out. He has his niche and he sticks to it and people enjoy it.

Haven't see this one yet, but I always look forward to seeing another Brad Pitt movie

I am honored, but I always go into a film, different strokes for different folks. I repeat that on here often, because that's really what it comes down to.
Plenty of people who do have good opinions of film haven't liked it at the same time that I thoroughly enjoyed it. You never know
This is true, and I feel the same way. I am usually game for any type of movie and try to go into it open-minded. Before I joined Netflix a year ago, I would have never imagined watching some of the films I've seen since then. You quickly realize how boring it is to limit your tastes to just "popular" movies. You've made solid recommendations in the past (still working on the Kurosawa list ) and I appreciate how most of your reviews analyze and dissect the film, b/c I suck at trying to explain elements of certain films and why I enjoyed them.
I really do appreciate Tarantino for what he has done, but I think that some of his diehard fans who use the "if you don't like Tarantino you just don't know what a good movie is" approach annoy me and make me apprehensive about watching his films. That being said, I've only seen Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and Jackie Brown is actually #3 in the queue right now so I'm trying to get a little more familiar with Tarantino's work and style.
And yes, Van Damme always seemed like a pretty cool guy who, despite what many people think, actually has pretty good acting skills. Oh, and random scenes from Bloodsport are sometimes recreated by me and my brother....just b/c it's awesome and Frank Dux is a badass.

I tend to like his movies but....you haven't seen many interviews with him have you?
He comes across as very full of himself at times.

I was enthralled by the dialog. I don't think he was trying to be "witty," and funny, but slippery and cryptic. I thought every actor did a great job expressing motives in the subtlest of ways. Particularly Landa.
I fricking loved the entire cabin sequence that started the movie.
It just seemed to slip from there though to me dialogue wise. At least compared to some of his other movies...not the traditional movie that only uses dialogue to set up an action sequence.
I will concede that it was more enjoyable the second viewing.

Prolly sarcasm. He's usually with a hot bitch or doing some shite when interviewed.

Much appreciated. I think that is one of the by-products of the board. Not everyone has had the same experience in terms of film (especially older movies) so it's good that those of us who do can point those of us who don't in the right direction. There have been great films released every year since the early 1900's, but now there are too many. Not everyone has seen City of God, City Lights, Blood Simple, etc.

Totally, even more so in this film making fun of himself often.

Good to hear.
I thought the cabin scene was great, but then the bar scene was even better than that.

The cabin scene was my favorite scene but I liked the basement scene as well, just seems like it could have been avoided.

Such a minor thing...indicating three like a Englishman rather than a German.

I am going to see it tonight after the Saints game.

I've give the movie 2 stars. Begining was good. then for the next 2 hours. I'd rather have my fingernails pulled out with pliers. Then the last 30 minutes was good. Pitt is only in the movie for about 45 minutes. Previews made it seem like he was in it for the majority of the movie. Subtitles killed this movie, way too much.
And for the record Kill Bill sucked! The only good movies Tarentino has been invloved with to this point is Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown and True Romance.

Really, because that's one of the parts I enjoyed the most. I like to watch a movie that uses the native language of the country they are in.

If I wanted to read, I would have gotten the book version.
