Quentin is well aware of the original.

Just because Tarantino participates in an hour long interview on the new Inglorious Bastards DVD doesn't mean we should jump to conclusions, Antoine

well, that was a waste of a post...

(jumps off building)

next time, shoot me down gently like antoine, domino

i have a syndrome.

I get the sneaking suspicion you're all quite jealous of tarantino...

I wouldn't say jealousy. I personally get frustrated with him for not making his "own" films.

People like PTA take director's work and make it their own so it isn't copying. Tarantino has a bad habit of mimicking the classics he sees.

I'm jealous, sure. He's doing what I'd love to do, and he's a douche. Meantime I'm doing what I'm doing, and trying to learn to like it.

The best thing Tarantino ever did was Mira Sorvino circa-1995.

and an attempted Thurman in 1994, 2003, and 2004

And even she was middle of the road. Which is where Quentin's career has also been over the last decade. I honestly can't believe people even continue to debate this massive (in both the literal and figurative senses) waste of space, or give a shit that he's about to make a World War 2 film that will undoubtedly be obnoxious, loud, derivative, and filled with wankers.

That statement seems very bitter and cliche. Tarantino has made Kill Bill 1 & 2 along with Death Proof. Both of these films were great in my opinion. I also know there are many on here who loved Kill Bill and, like myself, await the Blood Bath edition in 2009?

Your post is angry and contrived and makes you sound like a douchebag.

I think this project needs its own thread by now.

And that thread needs to be named "Inglourious Basterds".

The phrase

Spoiler

Operation Kino

is hilarious.

I'm a big QT fan as well, and I also love KB and Death Proof. I understand that his style isn't for everyone, and of course everyone's entitled to express their opinions. Though I do find it strange that so many people feel compelled to say things like "I can't believe anyone else likes his films" when QT comes up for discussion.

On the other hand, that line from domino about Mira was pretty classic!

Agreed.

Agreed.

I really enjoyed reading the script. However, I couldn't help but see very frustrating parallels between the "negotiation" scenes in this film and the ending of Pulp Fiction. In fact, it was almost like I was picturing Aldo as Samuel Jackson after a while.

However, the screenplay was pretty good and I can't wait to see what he does with it.

Inglorious Bastards will start shooting in October and will thankfully, only be a single film.

So Universal are in talks to co-produce with the Weinsteins. I would imagine they are trying to finalize a budget that works in the probable event of tepid box office returns. Also, it appears Brad Pitt is long way from being involved after he burned Universal when dropped out of State Of Play at the last minute.

Good to see they're actually shooting in Germany and France.

I am really looking forward to seeing the finished product. The script was nothing like I thought it would be, but fun nonetheless. Some of the tense sequences in the films were just phenomenally written. Especially the opening chapter.

Eli Roth is Donnie Donowitz

"Hostel" director Eli Roth is on deck to play a baseball bat-swinging Nazi hunter in "Inglorious Bastards," the Quentin Tarantino-directed drama that begins production this fall in Europe for the Weinstein Co. and Universal Pictures.

Heh, Tarantiino is going to swing and miss on all the big names he wants and end up with H-list actors and personal friends in the roles

Hopefully he won't cast himself in it...every time I see him in a movie, the picture just grinds to a halt for me as I sit patiently while all the "Tarantino-isms" get trotted out and performed ad nauseum. And while I'm on the subject, does every special effects make-up/gore heavy movie have to feature Tom Savini in a cameo? I just watched Planet Terror last night and all I could think of was "weren't there any actors who needed a job?", or did Rodriguez owe him money, or what?
