garbage Hitler almost took over the world. I don't see that as a laughing matter. Half the US population probably think inglorious basterds is some type of documentary. It is downright disrespectful trash to all parties involved in the second great war.
Insert: Brad Pitt's accent was so funny.....
Fake outrage. Gotta love it.
Do you also hate monty python for the same reasons? What about Mel Brooks History of the World? The inquisition is no laughing matter, and neither are the crusades.
Jeesh.

#29 Posted: 4/9/2012 4:34:41 PM if you cant laugh at the good flick inglorious person then what the f*ck....
stop taking everything so seriously. sometimes it's good to find humor in something so ridiculously insane.
q's dialogue is top notch. his soundtracks are history lessons. his movies are tributes to past influences and takes it to another level.
only problem with q's flicks are that they can tend to drag on a bit since the man doesnt have an edit button.
kill bill shud of been just one flick just short of 3 hrs. it wud of been pimp sh*t. |

His movies aren't really intended for the mainstream, so that' probably why you don't like it. Stick to Men in Black and Transformers and you should be fine.

Yes. Rent them at your local library, or underground cinema store.
Reservoir Dogs 1992 = City on Fire 1987
Jackie Brown 1997 = any 70's Blaxploitation film with Pam Grier
Kill Bill 2003-2004 = Lady Snowblood 1973
Inglorious person 2009 = The Inglorious person 1978
Not to mention Pulp Fiction 1994 had rip offs from Bonnie's Kids 1973 in addition to being partially written by Roger Avary.
Don't get me started on Grindhouse, it's title alone basically admits ripping off an entire genre as well.

Crackhouse
There's 7-10 parts, you can find them in order on the side. Roll you a fat one and slink into 1980's Los Angeles debauchery.
Great fuckin movie I must say. |

Jeesh.
I couldn't even pretend to like a Monty Python movie. Straight garbage.
I guess I'm not so much outraged as I am disgusted at how utterly stupid and trivial these types of flicks are (Inglorius, Monty).
These flicks make the Sacha Baron Cohen movies look like intellectual endeavors. You have to make a conscious effort to laugh at Monty Python. It is not natural. It is predetermined.

All his movies are a tribute to what he likes.
You can tell he's a big Alfred Hitchcock fan like in Pulp Fiction the brief case was a MacGuffen, a concept created by Hitchcock in North by Northwest.
His segment in Four Rooms was a updated remake of a Hitchcock short.
Jackie Brown was a tribute to Black Exploitation films and Elmore Leonard since it was adapted from Leonard's book "Rum Punch". All of Elmore Leonards books have that same style that is in Tarantino's films. Also, Pam Grier who was "Foxy Brown" in the 70's.
Kill Bill tribute to old Kung Fu movies, the cast were even veterans of Kung Fu entertainment.
Grindhouse was a tribute to old B rated drive in horrors.
He's one of the few directors out there that is writing his own garbage. Most movies you see are either adapted from books or a remake of a movie from the past.
A lot of people think De Palmas "Scarface" was so original and great. Most of them don't know it was a remake of the 1938 Scarface, the only change was the era, instead of Alcohol in the 20's it was Cocaine in the 70's. The plot was exactly the same.
Indiana Jones? Watch some old Ronald Reagan movies. |
