I love KB, one of my favorite of his.
Confession time: I haven't watched Inglourious Basterds :/

Watch it NAOW! Before the Bonds!
3 years later I'm still shocked/amazed/amused at the sheer lunacy/brilliance of the final act.

For some reason I have been putting it off. I love most of his work, so I'm optimistic about it.

Other Tarantino movies > Death Proof
Do not this thing which you are doing! I felt it was the most inspired QT had been since Pulp (which is probably true as it came after the first critical/financial dud of his career).

Hobbit
Django
Zero Dark Thirty
Django
Zero Dark Thirty
A woman is going to make me see Les Mis. Excited for Hobbit. Django, Amour, Tabu I'll wait for video. Also I'll probably rent Zero Dark Thirty for some reason, I don't know why, I'm an idiot. Hurt Locker was weak and this looks like jingoistic horseshit but I've got this stupid fetish for modern military movies. Like Black Hawk Down and stuff. I didn't watch that Call Of Duty or Medal of Honor or whatever it was called though.
Expendable.

Uh, all the middling reviews that came out today.
I wasn't the biggest fan of The Hurt Locker, but Zero Dark Thirty is fantastic. It's nothing like Act of Valor, if that's what you are thinking.

It's only rough if you don't appreciate good films. So I understand why internet bloggers would say that.
Did you know she made an album in 2011 and it is really good? She also has two duets with Damian Rice on the album.
Damien Rice & Melanie Laurent - Uncomfortable
Damien Rice & Melanie Laurent - Everything You're Not Supposed To Be

Yeah lol, definitely have to watch it. Since there's so many movies, I try to watch as much as I can. Maybe I should prioritize it.
No no I didn't think it was like that garbage, but if we're on the same page with Hurt then you've raised my hopes. I think I was also initially turned off because I saw preview for it like, VERY SHORTLY after Osama was killed. I was like wtf are you kidding me talk about your rush jobs. But I've since learned it was an Osama movie in production already that had to switch gears once he was killed. You know, kinda like Fever Pitch.
It's worth it for the first 15 minutes alone.
There were many families who were impacted by the tsunami. A white family's story was chosen because many filmmakers believe that white audiences can't relate to human suffering unless the humans who are suffering are white. I have a problem with that.

I have very little hope for This is 40. Funny People was unrelatable schlock.
And if there had been no true story of a white family's experiences during the natural disaster, you can bet that no Western backed film would have been made about it.
A lot of these movies I complain about are based on true stories (The Last Samurai, Dances with Wolves, etc.), but there comes a point when you have to ask yourself why producers only green light these fish (white people) out of water stories. Either whites are the only one who experience movie worthy narratives, or they're being singled out because of their skin color.
Yup, I wrote a blog post about this very subject not to long ago: http://postracecinema.co.nf/?p=31

Hobbit, and maybe Django.
I eagerly anticipate the Katrina film starring Taylor Kitsch.

Might see Django. I recall Basterds being a really fun watch with friends.

So you would rather not have the story told at all? Because like you said it wouldn't have been. Anyways, I'll save you the time

If the disenfranchisement of non-white actors is perpetuated by its creation, then absolutely, I'd rather the story not be told. Never mind the fact that the story isn't being told here in the first place, considering that the people most effected by the disaster are blurred backdrops in their own tragedy.

I'm watching Taxi Driver over and over again for this long ass essay I have to write on it. One of the few films not dulled by repeated viewing.

What a great top 10 list. All films worth watching. If I had to pick five, it would be Django, Hobbit, ZD30, Les Mis and Amour.

Will definitely see Django. Will probably end up seeing Jack Reacher, too, surprisingly. The trailers really ended up winning me over.
I wish I still lived in Santa Cruz. The Del Mar theater was pretty awesome for limited releases, and the interior was awesome to boot. Plus I lived a mere 3-5 minute walk from the place: http://www.thenick.com/
Now that I'm back in San Jose, I have to drive a good 20+ minutes to find the same limited releases (if they're even playing near here), and within an infinitely shittier venue.

I'd be curious to know if the ending was changed at all. That's the only part that really bothered me.

Fuck all those films, Monsters Inc is back this month. They finally put that thing back where it came from.
Keep the faith. It will be.
As much as I've looked forward to films, only five have had me absolutely frothing at the cock waiting in anticipation for it coming out, as opposed to seeing it and then falling in love or whatever:
TDK
Inglourious Basterds
Prometheus
TDKR
Django
They range from very disappointed but still kinda enjoyed it (Prometheus), really enjoyed it and think its great but it isnt GOAT (TDK/TDKR) and holy shit that film makes my anus burst in delight (Basterds).
Django will be the latter. I'm sure of it.
Expendable.

As for Django, I've heard almost all GREAT things except one friend who said he'd only give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 and that it's his least favorite from QT. But we shall see. IB only gets better with each viewing, so hopefully it's more like that.
I heard a rumor that Disney pulled that re-release, but it's gotta be complete bullshit considering it comes out in like two weeks.

Also, not to turn this into ranking city, but out of this month's released there's a few I very much want to see, and then Django which I'm well excited (BUT I'M BRITISH SO ITS NOT UNTIL JANUARY FUCK A SWAN)

I'd be surprised, seems like easy money for them, and makes a bunch of sense what with Monsters Uni on the way next from Pixar. Only reason I could see for a pull would be them underestimating the success of Wreck-It-Ralph, or something.
It's not out until January for me anyway, so eh. Likewise for Django, fuuuuuuuuuuuu
You are going to feel like such a tosser for sitting on it this long after the opening scene blows your freaking mind.
