On adgy's recommendation, I watched "The Good, The Bad, The Weird" on Friday. I have since watched it 4 more times and am going to have to buy it tomorrow or Netflix may never get it back. ****ing awesome flick. Entertaining as hell.

I watched it Friday too! LOVED IT. Great characters; looked stylish as hell; relentless pace; and some killer looooong and technical single takes. Wow. Will probably buy it, but'll watch it again before returning for sure.

I think this might be my second favorite movie of the year. I don't understand how anyone could give some of the lines with the straight face. Especially this one:

"Hey man, you sent her in here with them titties. What did you expect? How's my x-ray. "

People need to check that movie out. And yeah Adgy hurry up and buy the Blu already!

Chose this from the trailer on another DVD. Meh. Rotten Tomatoes average is 5.6/10, which sounds about right. Not terrible in that it kept us watching, but certainly far from great as a whole. The story is fine and could have produced a much better movie but they blew it in several key areas. They did not, however, miss their chance to shock with some of the most brutal and bone-crunching violence by a man against defenseless women I've ever seen on film. Holy ****.

Also, midget troll-faced Casey Affleck + graphic sex scenes = a resounding eeewwwwww. One woulda been gross enough, but there were like a half a dozen and they were LOOOOOONG. Every time it started we moaned. AGAIN????? YES, HE'S A SADIST. WE GET IT ALREADY. I could now pick out his pasty hairy nipples in a police lineup and THAT'S NOT GOOD. The repetitive sex scenes did at least give us a chance to turn the sound down and discuss holes in the storyline and other important things - like where we want to dine out next.
 
I saw The Good, The Bad, The Ugly as a kid, on television, and haven't looked back since. One of my favorites. :D

Reminds me of when Adgy took me to see Lust Caution and I was tortured by Tony Leung's wrinkly ball sack and doughy body. Oh yeah and enough pit hair on a chick to make Fiona Apple proud.

Oh??? Yay! A new best friend!! I don't like Tarantino (hack!) either OR Brad Pitt (overrated!).

my disdain for this movie has very little to do with my feelings about Tarantado... i HAVE been known to enjoy a movie or two of his.

that said, there ARE elements in this film that underscore WHY i'm not a fan. for all the overwriting he did in this one and the Pynchon level amount of dialog, he somehow completely farkled writing anything resonant or powerful and instead opted for a quick out - an uber silly Batman POW! with music from the Entity and Bowie's song from Cat People... F***ING CAT PEOPLE!

and save for the Jew Hunter, not one character was remotely interesting.

this is the third time he's done Pulp Fiction now.

Enjoyed this, but think it's misclassified being placed in the thriller genre. It sustains a fair amount of tension through the lead character and has the occasional explosion of violence, but personally wouldn't go with "Thrilling!" or "A Raging Gangster Film!" as quoted on the poster. "Taut, visually nifty noir... stylish, intelligent, entertaining" is accurate. Couldn't help thinking of Jimmy from Quadrophenia through the entire movie.
 
To further touch upon what ges said...

From the second I saw the first trailer to Inglorious Basterds, I have had ZERO interest in seeing it. Still have ZERO interest in seeing it. It just looks stupid, stupid, stupid. And then there's that whole Brad Pitt thing...HOW do people keep thinking he can act? 8th wonder of the world, man. Seriously.
 
While I can defend neither Pitt or Tarentino, you either

Or you don't...when Brad Pitt looks into the camera at the very end and says 'I think I just made my masterpiece', I couldn't help but agree.

And even if you despise the both of them, to miss Christophe Walz's ****ing AMAZING performance is unforgivable.
 
If there's even the slightest bit of a reason for me to want to watch it, it's because of everything I've heard about Christophe Walz in it. But...I dunno. LOL.
 
The music is good too. And in small parts, Mike Myers, Michael Fassbender, and Til Schweiger are also very good. Try it Ketel...you may grudgingly wind up enjoying it.
 
like i said, Walz's character is the only one i liked. i thought the music was lousy and the stuff snarfed from Cat People and the Entity made it cheap too.

and Mike Myers? like a cross between a caricature of David Niven and Alec Guinness that really borders on disrespectful lampooning with the snooty Rich Uncle Pennybags from Monopoly... all he needed was a monocle and every sentence ending with "myehss" and it may have even been too much of a megamalgam for someone who writes as bloated a composite character as Tarantado does.
 
i'm honestly shocked that such cin?astes as adgy and jerseydevil are taken in by this dudes hunt and peck movies. i KNOW you've guys seen just about every movie he makes his film batters out of.
