This movie is amazing. I've seen it twice and it was better the second time around. I'm a soundtrack geek and this is one of QT's best. David Bowie's song fits so oddly, so perfectly against the montage of Shoshanna preparing for battle. Also, I researched and the “The Man With The Big Sombrero” (track 8- it plays during the tavern scene), was the only song made specifically for the movie. It's performed by Samantha Shelton and is really really cool. She has a lot of other great music, so check her out if you're interested (I think she used to sing with Zooey Deschanel in Pretty Babies). I love the olde timey stuff, so it fits perfectly into the move.

Finally, Inglourious Basterds is out! I have been waiting for this film since before Kill Bill was announced. I even remember getting in trouble for saying the title… IN JUNIOR HIGH. This movie is everything I was hoping it would be and more. I know many people have a special place in their heart for QT as do I. Pulp Fiction is the film that inspired me to get into filmmaking. This film reassures that belief because it is from opening to close intensity and awesomeness. The performances are outstanding all around, I even left the theater discussing our favorite Basterd reminiscent of arguing for our favorite power ranger or ninja turtle as kids. I'm really glad to hear it did well yesterday, because my theater was only a quarter full.

One of my favorite things about this movie is how they use dialogue as action sequences. Sure, this is a common trend in movies as of late but IB does it just as good as the best (Frost/Nixon). Can't wait to see it again.

Rusty never claimed it to be better thank KILL BILL VOL. 1. I think he made it pretty clear that if you're going in expecting a bloodbath, you're going to be disappointed. This is more about story, not violence. Nothing to pick apart really.

What are you a blogger for? We don't claim the title “critic.” We just like to talk about movies.

I'm being nice.

but, I'm also a critic too now (yay!) so I'm picking it apart and figuring out why it is seemingly better than Kill Bill.. (not all together..but why it may work in a comfort food way.)
He does his best work with Roger.
Always have and Always will.
In some respects, Rodriguez replaced him, but down deep, you can never forget your first love.

I'm using old forms of storytelling and then purposely having them run awry", he says. "Part of the trick is to take these movie characters, these genre characters and these genre situations and actually apply them to some of real life's rules and see how they unravel."[16]

quote from Pulp Fiction interview.
that's why it's good.
He's revisting the same storytelling.

I was going to try and defend it here, but then I realized I was just pretty much saying what I said in the review. I feel that comment makes sense in context.
