Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds


E*F*4L

Recommended Posts

went to see it today & :shock:

it is fantastic.

i don't want to spoil it for anyone, the first bit (in the farmers house) is pretty moving & some of the actors performances are brilliant, Diane Kruger, Mélanie Laurent are top draw but Christoph Waltz is on a level of his own mesmerizing performance ! Brad Pitt who ?

there is some slight comedic moments (the guys pipe springs to mind) & some gore which was expected, the part in the 'Tavern' you could cut the tension with a knife, & the part at the end in the cinema, well it is something i would never have thought i would ever seen in a film (mainstream anyway) only Quentin could have made this movie, nobody else has would have had the balls to make it.

one thing i will say though, is don't spoil it by watching the trailers etc before you go & watch it.

Good to hear another review Alan. I have been planning to go and see this since James 'chiselled jaw' King gave it five stars the other day. Pretty impressive coming from him.

Not so keen on the gore aspect, but it's inevitable I suppose, given the topic and the Director...

the gore isn't that bad really as it is in context & not over the top for the sake of it like some of his other movies, & lest not forget it is a war film.

i would say that it is QT's second best movie behind Pulp Fiction, but it is very close & honestly looking back at the movie, it doesn't seem like a QT film, he has raised the bar !

the only thing that didn't work to well i felt, was Mike Myers only because his voice is so unique & you can't seem to put Austin Powers out of your mind.

    • I suspect they’re gonna tie the announcement into something, or they’ve changed plans. I know we’ve said it as a joke but I wonder if Aled was planning on giving it to someone like Danny Beard, but he’s decided against that after the last few weeks. Seems clear to me, though, that if Jordan hadn’t left, then Katie would’ve taken Dean and Vicky’s slot and Matt and Mollie would’ve stayed on weekends, which probably explains why they haven’t picked a replacement yet. If it was going to be the obvious choice, I.e. James Cusack, surely they would’ve announced it by now..?
    • Yep think they mentioned that this is their penultimate weekend of shows but then they will also be on air during Big Weekend and they mentioned they'll be doing 'Party Anthems' on stage during Big Weekend which sounds intriguing. Will miss Matt & Mollie on weekends - they in particular have made that Friday afternoon slot their own - but they'll be great on weekdays. Do wonder if 'Summer on Radio 1' is just a placeholder name until they decide on who will cover the interim. While it's obviously not the case it does feel like they've forgotten there's that weekend afternoon slot to fill given no permenant presenter has been announced for it yet.
    • Zoe Ball is back on the breakfast show on Monday.
    • Just listening to matt and mollie at work and heard them say it's their second to last show on weekends
    • And Arielle mentioned in her Instagram post that her final early breakfast show is the 27th of June - the Thursday before Glastonbury 
    • When Matt covered breakfast on 22nd April, he said their new show was starting in 10 weeks, so that’d be the 1st July.
    • Would love for it to be like the Summer Friday Thing that me and @DC were remisincing about recently. Lots of events going on that could easily form part of it.  https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/summer/cardiff/thursday/1.shtml
    • I'm guessing there is also a stack of weekend events like Glastonbury
    • I think more likely it'll just be a temp presenter for weekends 1-4 to give Matt & Mollie time off, plus time to plan and pilot the new show.
    • Yeah I don’t think they’ll be anything that drastic - maybe a week or 2 of cover on early breakfast etc, but maybe just having that weekend afternoon slot covered over the summer means they can put someone on from September who maybe isn’t available until then? 
    • But they said the main changes would happen in July.

    • I wouldn't be surprised if they do this around June time: 05.00 Ore Olukoga 07.00 Greg James 10.30 RMC 14.00 VKJ  That'll probably happen (for my guess) from the 17th June. And for weekends: 07:00 Sam & Danni 11:00 Gregor Davidson 15:00 Charlie Hedges Maybe Fridays aswell: 07:00 Greg James 11:00 Gregor Davidson 14:30 Jack Saunders
    • The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?
    • There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.
