I wish they had this in the U.S.

MJ

AMC Theatres tried it with a particular movie, Cinderella Man, but that was it.

Only boring people don’t like Tarantino’s movies.
aussie

is this movie unpopular?
cesar

this movie’s fantastic!

so good so that they are confident about this refund stuff!
longus dickus

its revenge for yakuza shit in “kill bunny”

Karisu

I must have missed “kill bunny”. And here I thought I saw all of Tarantino’s films!

Brilliant filmmaker, feel sorry for those that can’t appreciate them.

robert

I would do it for a bunch of yen.

I think I’ll cut out the middle-man and just avoid this jewish holo-porn flick. Congratulations Tarantino. You did good for your masters. Consider funding for your next 3 projects financed.

longus dickus

cool! Trufax using new troll identity..

Moderately Informed

I thought the movie was hilarious. I’m kinda surprised that people can’t take this as just fiction/joke and move on. The bar scene makes my day though. Seriously funny stuff. “Don’t gotta be Stonewall Jackson to know you don’t go fightin in an f’in basement.”

Cliff

I’m with you. it was a good movie.

Luke

I really cannot not see how anybody could walk out on this movie, unless they hated gore and subtitles. In which case, grow up.

cesar

what gore? there’s barely any in this movie.

compared to those japanese freaks like Tokyo Gore Police, it’s like a Disney cartoon

Luke

I suppose some wouldn’t consider a ‘full shot of a swastika being carved into a man’s forehead with a knife-’ gore?

Certainly seems mild to Kill Bill and other crazy gore-y movies, but it’s one of the most frequent complaints about this movie.
Moderately Informed

Don’t forget about when that guy was pouring lead into Hitler’s face. I expected him to be cut up, but when it started deforming, it went to a new level.

Red

Hey, is there a lot of dialogue in German and French in this? I want to see it, but I won’t be able to keep up with the Japanese subtitles.

Luke

Yes, there certainly is. Scenes up to 30 minutes can be completely in German/French.
There’s even a little Italian (Dohohoho)

Perhaps watch it online, or buy the DVD when it comes out.

Red

Thanks for the info!
I would have been totally confused. (But at least I could have gotten a refund, I suppose.)

joe

Bahh. another Holocaust crap movie.

I bet it will definitely win an oscar..
the shoah industry is alive and well..
tora

totally off the subject there……..
longus dickus

1: this movie is fantasy film.
2: Tarantino is not jewish.
3: Nazis were never “the best antagonists”
4: you are saying absolutly nothing because you know nothing about nazis and the WW2.
5: there are no “good villains” in a real war.
6: you still not getting the main topic of this film..
adsasdfdfddfsd

Nah, it is “jew fantasy” but it was also said in the end of the film “the sweet jew revenge.” And nazis aren’t good villains cos communist and yanks were/are just as bad to their enemy. And there was BIG genocide going on CCCP also. It was all fantasy, but what bothered me was that Hitler and the teather didn’t have better security.

And there was BIG genocide going on CCCP also.–

“Genocide is the deliberate and systematic destruction, in whole or in part, of an ethnic, racial, religious, or national group.”

— but what bothered me was that Hitler and the teather didn’t have better security.–

jewish fantasy?

Don’t like Inglourious Basterds? How about a refund?
