Lots of good movies out there...unfortunately you have to do a little more searching for them.

Isn't this his 3D movie? The one that will make 3D *the* future of movies?
I just sat through Tarantino's interview with Charlie Rose. Do I want to see his movie? I avoided the Kill Bill movies for years and shouldn't have, but man he's full of himself.

He's full of himself because he knows what almost everyone else knows -- he is a spectacular screenwriter/director, probably the best young American director of the last 15 years.
This notion that geniuses should have some sort of romantic naivete about their own skill is itself a Hollywood fiction.

I don't mean he's conceited, which he is. I mean he just jabbers on and on and on. It's very hard to listen to.

Avatar could be great. It could suck. Who knows yet? I do hear that the people who have seen the 3D footage are much more impressed than the people who have seen the 2D trailers. It's a very old SF concept.

what happened to all the classics? Video killed the radio star: -Good looks trumps acting ability -fight scenes/violence/and cgi destruction (I'm talking about that which is not complimentary and accentual, but gratuitous and in place of a solid plot and writing) -a mass audience that doesn't (or doesn't want to) sit for more than 15 seconds without seeing something blow up, and can't understand deeper concepts -a mass audience addicted to "happy endings" which is thankfully having less of an influence now due to the international influence.

I hear happy endings are still very popular in certain massage places, though.

ESPECIALLY the "international" massage places. Madame Ko's Rub-a-Dub out near the airport has been responsible for much happiness in the last ten years.

Tried to find this thread, but nobody spelled it "basterds".
Anyhow, I saw it. I have to say I came out of it hating myself a little for having done so. This is exactly the sort of stuff I don't like about QT. Violence as entertainment bothers me. Not just entertainment, but there's this "Aren't I clever, isn't this funny?" tone to it that I just find offputting.
I can't deny the guy has talent nor that the movie was well-made and, for the most part, well acted. But I come out of it with "What's the point? Why did I just give this guy $5 of my money?"
OK, so it was about revenge. And? I know QT claims his movies are amoral -- that morality doesn't even enter into his thinking. But, crap. Is that really a good thing? Especially when it's not history we're seeing, but his fictional take on history? All these characters he introduces just to kill them. It's odd.
Saw the ending coming from a mile away and still hated it (the ending).
I dunno. This one really bothers me. Much more so than the Kill Bill movies, which were at least totally fictional.
