...anyone else seen it?

...me and the wife watched a DVD I made of it last night...I thought it was pretty good...you can definitely tell it's a Tarrantino film...very long (2:45 minutes)...very graphic...very bloody.
 
I was waiting for someone to give it a review, I'll have to check it out the next time my video girl comes around.
 
...Rick, like I said, it's a Tarantino movie and as like some of his other stuff in which you must watch it straight through or pause if/when you leave the room, otherwise you'll be lost because there's a lot going back and forth from the past and then fast forwarding again to the present again.
 
Was "No country for old men" his movie or was that the Coen brothers because I thought that flick sucked.
 
^^^yeah, that was the Coens...but like you, that movie just didn't do it for me.

not yet, but its on my list of things to see & do ... Looks like one of Tarrantino's better films, and a Western at that....

I found one long very in depth synopsis of this film, on imdb.com, the URL to that is noted below the Trailer, for those who haven't seen it...it definitely sounds and looks really good.

Django!

Loved no country for old men. That's how you should deal with trolls...."call it."
 
"We're the Bastards" - "your status as a Nat-zee killer is still amateur, we came here to see if you wanted to go Pro".

"We ain't in the prisoner taking business, we in the killing Nat-Zee business"...

Inglourious Basterds one of my favs...
 
^^^That was another one I didn't care for.
 
If I remember correctly there was either a lot of sub titles or just a great deal of the movie is spoken in German.
 
IB: It's probably my favorite Tarrantino flick, yeah some German sub-titles, use CC and you'll get the translation.....

One helluva great flick .... can't go wrong watching it...
 
Wait? Our own inglorious bastards haven't seen their movie?
 
I saw the 70mm Ultra Panavision Roadshow Edition.

It was spectacular!



I haven't seen a movie with an intermission since I was a little kid.

Not my favorite Tarantino movie but it was very good. Jennifer Jason Leigh should have gotten the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.

Wow, I had no clue they held a "roadshow" prior to Xmas....

Love the nostalgia of "roadshows", wonder if they served Cheetos, and Crumpets and a spot of Tea....

Yep, Leigh did a great job, worthy of BSA...Pitt was in his own league, a lot like Mickey O'Neill in "Snatch", only diff, a southern boy's dialect in lieu of an Irish Gypsy...
 
I picked up the video today so I'll be watching it tonight.

Nah Tom, I have a video girl that comes around to the VFW from time to time, I got it from her. Around 9 PM last night I popped the movie in & was reading the cover when I saw that it was 182 minutes so I thought, "MIDNIGHT" No way, so I'll watch it later today.
 
No bites on the 'Inglourious Basterds'? Because We have our own "Inglorious Bastards" right here and in de Bronx....shucks..."its a terrible thing to lose".....

"Oh, rollin' and ridin' and slippin' and slidin'
It's magic"....
 
Well I'm currently watching this movie & I'm about an hour into it. And so far its about as exciting as watching paint dry. BUT.........at this point I'll keep watching with the hopes that maybe once they reach Red Rock that it'll get better.

from what synopsis I've read, 'Red Rock' is where all the fun begins...

PS: while your watching paint dry, please don't eat the leftover chips....!
 
Well, it took an hour & 45 minutes in but......FINALLY its starting to get interesting.
 
see, I told ya' "don't eat the paint chips"...
 
Okay its over. My final take on this is that the last hour was pretty good, unfortunately you had to sit through the 1st hour & a half to get to it but it does all tie in together. I'm glad I bought a 3 dollar copy to watch at home & not wasted $10-$12.00 at the theater because in all likelihood I probably would have fallen asleep during the early snooze-fest. Rating wise, I'd give it 1 1/2 stars out of a possible 4.
 
...I thought the whole movie was well constructed, typical Tarantino stuff...but that's just me.

You mean you root for the Cardinals and Royals too?
Click to expand...

in my time, it used to be Finley's KC - A's, and Busch's Cardinals. Two of the greatest teams for back to back generations, squeezed in b/t the Yanx last Mantle days, and Billy's crew of Greats, mixed in with the best of Finley's FA Fire Sale.

Of course both the St. Louie Cards were great as it gets, with the likes of many many greats, passing the torch of Series Play, to the A's, not long removed from KC...The A's were perfectly incredible, followed by Floods FA lawsuit win. Baseball has never been the same since, well kinda sorta...who am I fooling, the best was yet to come starting in 96...
