B) just trusts Aldo, this guy who's been leading a crazed pack of psycho killers for years, to hold up his end of the deal. In fact, I don't see why Aldo lets him live at all - wtf do they need him for?
Spoiler:

A= i am not sure if this goes too far, but i thought he killed her to take up her place (at the phone he is negotiating that he not only receives physical rewards like land etc. but that he should be also considered as a doubleagent who made all this bad stuff only for a good purpose. so he wants some kind of hero reputation also) and because there is a possibility that bridget interfers with his plans during the whole assasination going on and afterwards ( she is on the side of the us, but also a german = she is acting because out of a view of belief in the right thing, so the possible consequences could be immense if she is revealing the truth about landa after the war...while aldo and the little man are only perceived by him as being tools of the us but not a real danger) .
+ feeding his sadism and the joy of killing a women with his bare hands is the sugar on the top perhaps

(landa expected that aldo got the same kind of code...at the beginning landa is telling the father who hides the jews that he will not be punished but rewarded for giving out the jews! and nothing in the movie hints to a fact that he doesnt follow this promise- probably for landa it is not logical to punish people who helps you (seems to be a longterm-thinker)


Spoiler:

PS: i love it how people accidentally always mix up landa and lando (-:
PPS: i also love that the cruelst weapon in the film is a baseball bat. i am sure you can find some deeper meaning in it if you search for one, dont know which althought ( i am also the oppinion that in pulp fiction it has a deaper meaning that butch is first taking a baseballbat, then a chainsaw and last a sword to rescue marsellus wallace...like taking superlative steps...from real weapon to horrorfilmweapon to a true warrior weapon of honor (which makes sense cause he is rescueing his archrival because of a moral code -the code gayness is just too much for an hetero (-
either if its true or not , meant or not from tarantino, i really can only admire that the movie offers the possibility to find such stuff in details...like eli roth is killing the supermainvillain of reality..(EMPHASIZE)as the only director out of a cast of actors...and the whole cinema scene is built into a big crematorium for nazis...

+1 about his films being self indulgent for tarantino, went to see the film last night at would give it a 65% at best.
The gore and blood in the film was just to much, maybe Tarantino just isnt for me.

For a 2 1/2 movie def. didn't feel as long when I was watching it, though many scenes dragged...but left feeling like I watched a bunch of really great scenes rather than a really great film. Enjoyable but nothing I'd love to see again and again.

Fav characters were def. Landa, the german officer who knew who he was going to die,
Stiglitz. Jew Hunter was a nice gimmick of a character, comparing him and the acting job of Roth to Hopkins, Bardem, Rickman etc is lol. Pitt was very good.


1. Pulp Fiction / Kill Bill v. 1
2. Jackie Brown

3. Res. Dogs
4. Kill Bill v. 2
5. IB

At the beginning of the film, I was totally scared and sickened because I was certain his daughters were going to end up being raped. Did anyone else get that fear? That was certainly the goal there, correct?

What? There was almost no gore in the entire movie. I was actually surprised because there was so little cursing and violence in the film.

This was like a seriously acted drama that could win academy awards mashed with QT style satire. I thought it was a pretty big step from his typical work/stlye. I really loved the hell out of it.

Yeah I think I can totally understand this argument but it's also why I think KB1 is so much greater than 2...it's doesn't suffer from the QT Getting his rocks of both in writing and directing.

KB1 is the perfect QT film - one done to pure perfection. It is te movie all the characters in his movies would love and talk about.
K2 has a lot of filler and seems like many scenes go for much longer than is nec. which is what makes it feel like more of QT film.

Watched IG again
would say there are 2 very good to great parts - opening scene and final chapter...and the rest is just typically QT goodness/fun

Definitely. I see no other purpose in having the daughters there. I also thought that the guy in the house might really be the Jew pretending to be another family. I also wonder why he was so insistent on having the daughters inside the house?

Heard this scene supposedly pays tribute to a scene in The Good The Bad and the Ugly but its been a while since I've seen it so can't remember what it is.

Never thought that here - Landa didn't seem to be playing his character in a way which would lead me to believe that was something he would do.

I enjoyed the scene but overall thought it was very predictable, kind of a typical yet classic QT scene. Only thing that surprised me is the girl lived. Landa and the milk seems to be a homage to Angel Eyes and the soup.

we did not know Landa's character at all when he walks into the home and we see this guy's 3 hot daughters lined up.

would NOT
The introduction of Angel Eyes(main villian). Watching it I was praying that this whole film would just be a giant collage of remakes/homages of QT's favorite scenes.

I know. I already was aware that the actor in question was the main villian in the film from press etc. the actor played him in a certain manner and I had seen the Good, the Bad, the Ugly. So that's why the threat of rape never entered my mind. Murder yes, rape no
Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterd's Quote

I said it before, but he really was a great villian. It was so easy to hate him, but yet like him as well. He reminded me of a German Jack Nicholson.

Rape never crossed my mind either.

I agree completely. I found KB uninteresting, but was on the edge of my seat for all of Inglourious Basterds. The only thing I really didn't like was the David Bowie song. I know that all of the music was deliberately out of context, but that was the only song that seemed completely out of place.

It's more of a tribute to Once Upon a Time in the West, but there are elements of The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly also.

theres a pretty good interview with christoph waltz today

By the way, I would like to mention that I also very much liked August Diehl's SS officer and in a movie without Fassbender and Waltz, he would have gotten more mention. Thought he was pretty damn good in the tavern scene.

by the way, is that guessing game a traditional German game? because I played it about 5 years ago while I was visiting some friends in Berlin.

While I agree at this point, I also don't see why it hurts you if others choose to use them. The spoiler button isn't there just to look pretty, and it really doesn't take that much effort to show them.

People should feel free to use spoiler tags if they want to.

it is at least a very well known game in germany. most times its called "wer bin ich"(who am i?)

funny, i was always under the assumption that this game is worldwide known.
