I watched the unreleased Rolling Stones doc "[expletive] Blues" last night. It was hard to watch and hard to stop watching.

[The Third Man]

Inglourious Basterds was freaking awesome. Best movie I've seen in theaters in a few years.

"Bonjeeerno."

Not even close.

IB is far less hyped and also a significantly better movie.

I haven't seen IB yet, but the Dark Knight was a damn good movie, even for a superhero movie. Until the last twenty minutes it was perfect.

I like Dark Knight a whole lot so I don't intend it as a knock. But IB is just amazing.

TDK was a fantastic movie. For me, the first superhero movie I've ever seen to really take a hack at an Oscar possibility. IB is, for me, better than TDK and that's saying something because at the time, TDK was in my top 10.

I guess I gotta see IB at some point. Nothing about that trailer looks that good to me though. Seems like some Jewish revenge fantasy, and the scene in the previews with Hitler having a hissy fit just seemed ridiculous. Like it's what we'd hope WWII is like, and killing Nazis is justifiable fun. The justifiable I can agree with, it's the fun that bothers me. In this one the whole Nazi thing seems like an excuse to enjoy what I'd imagine is extremely gratuitous violence. Which I'm fine with in some cases, but Tarantino always seems to revel in it too much for my taste.

I'm not sure I can like it, I'm so predisposed against him by now. Or maybe I've just got a stick up my ass. I'll see it sometime.

You would be surprised at the level of irony and subversion in regards to the whole "violent revenge fantasy" aspect.
