    Mike said he was hoping Tarantino could put a "Planet Terror" spin on something, I was just pointing out that he didn't even put a "Planet Terror" spin on "Planet Terror;" he had nothing to do with it.

    Right....

    You're losing me here.

    What you're trying to say is that because Tarantino didn't do "Planet Terror," he is therefor incapable of creating any movie with any of that flavor, style, and is unable to put a "Planet Terror" spin on any other movie?

    Mike simply said that Tarantino was supposed to be "combining" for lack of a better word right now, "Hitler and Planet Terror."

    I guess i don't see what the director has to do with it? Other than pointing out that Tarantino didn't do Planet Terror as an attempt at a jab, when that wasn't really ever said in the first place.

    Who knows.

    I'll move on.

    It wasn't a jab at all and I really don't knwo why you're so confused (and seemingly annoyed?) by it. I thought he meant he would put a "Planet Terror" spin on it because he did "Planet Terror," which he didn't. Like, if someone had said "maybe he'll put a Pulp Fiction spin on it," you woudl assume they said that because he in fact DID Pulp Fiction. Usually we don't attribute people putting a stylized spin from something not attributed to them, do we? We don't say that Spielberg is going to put a "Rear Window" spin on a movie?

    It really wasn't an insult, just clearing up what I thought was a misconception (but may very well have been my own).
    If you will it, dude, it is no dream.

    I believe there is one crucial difference. Those who are stating that they "cannot wait to see the movie" are obviously interested in the film.

    As I said...I was interested enough in the subject to read what was posted. Based on what I read and my albeit "preconceived" impression of QT, the thread did nothing to change my mind about wanting to see the film. That's all.

    BTW...I would have never before considered opening a thread and reading anything about Mama Mia...much less Mama Mia! II: The Revenge...Until now.

    Now I will...just to see if you post in it...;)

    And to help clear up Bob's point a bit. The fact that Tarantino did the Death Proof half of Grindhouse and not the Planet Terror half is too much of a coincidence.
    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter.

    Okay... I lied. If anything came out titled Mama Mia! II: The Revenge, I would be first in line:D

    I gotcha Shack. You gave the review and thread a fair shake and it didn't really sway ya. Makes sense.

    I'll find it hard to believ, until I see it, that he's topped "Pulp Fiction" or even "Reservoir Dogs", but I'll go see to make sure.

    Anywhooo, back to the movie at hand. I love QT and have been looking forward to this one for a long time. I liked it don't get me wrong but it was just too long. I think the first reviewer is off about the pacing. Some of the long dialog scenes derailed the pacing.

    For instance the first scene did a great job of building tension. The scene with the movie chick and the jew hunter in the restaurante was tedious.

    Overall it was very good, the ending was fantastic! Still doesn't come close to QT's best, Pulp Fiction.

    Never been a big fan of QT's movies. Saw this one last night though, and it was fun for a few laughs. I guess over the top violence settles with me, as long as it's committed against ****.

    The revisionist ending also made me go....uh, wait... Then I just said screw it and enjoyed the 'party.'

    I went to see Tarantino's latest film opening day with my younger cousin and basically had the time of my life (not with my cousin, but with the flick). Whether or not you consider this to be his best film, I'd think you would be hard pressed to find one better directed. The opening sequence alone should win multiple oscars for art direction and acting.

    The scenes with the "Inglourious ****" were beyond entertaining and Brad Pitt's character provides one of the funniest, most original performances I have seen in a long time. That being said... do not be misled by the trailers. About a third of the movie actually deals with their exploits - however thrilling and gory they may be. The real star of this movie is the dialogue, set design and overall direction (much of which does not involve the "Dirty Dozen-esque" Inglourious ****).

    On a final note, the movie's finale has to be seen to be believed. Completely over the top and completely revisionist, but completely satisfying. The crowd I was with cheered wildly during the whole sequence and I couldn't help but grin ear to ear. But then again, I come from a Jewish family.

    A+

    I watched the movie on friday. I don't agree with the ending being over the top. How was it over the top? I saw it coming a mile ahead. If anything the ending was a bit disappointing although it was satisfying (in term of the bad guy gets it).

    I don't understand how "over the top" equates with "predictable". Maybe I'm missing something with your question? Anyone walking into a Tarantino film should be expecting a finale with guns/swords/knifes/grenades pulled, double-crosses, Mexican stand-offs and wall to wall violence. I mean, two different sub-plots involved doing relatively the same thing to the venue and spent a good deal of the movie discussing it.

    I guess what I mean by "over the top" is that why just settle with fire when you can add X and X and X and X to the mix.

    I have to say I loved this film. And that means a lot because I hate most of Quentin's movies. Kill Bill was way to over the top and unbelievable to warrant my liking. This movie was not like that (apart from the extreme graphic content). It had me on the edge of my seat the whole time and during the finale, I could feel my heart beating.

    whether you likek QT or not i think anyone would be hard pressed not to be transfixed by the opening scene on the dairy farm..
    I think the ending was more of a nod to The Dirty Dozen over top or not

    Zombie Boy I think you pretty much summed it up well on your your first post. QT is not for everyone..no big deal..he like any director he has turned out some **** along with his some really good stuff
    its too bad the thread has turned into yet another debate over QT instead of the movie itself

    I thought that the ending of Kill Bill 2 was rather quiet and somewhat sentimental......also good.;)

    QT did have something to do with Planet Terror, he acted in it at the very least.

    I saw **** and personally didn't like it. I can't really explain why, but it just wasn't my kind of flick. I love all previous Tarantino movies, so it's hard to say why this one sucked. I guess because it tried to be so serious and failed in some regards. Brad Pitt roles was not a winner with me, and I also couldn't see Mike Myers playing a serious army general.

    The jew hunter role was in fact amazing.

    That was one hell of a long, drawn out basterd of a film. Edit that basterd down by about 30 minutes and you have a much better basterd of a film.

    I disagree. Part of the reason the movie is so long is that you have those lengthy sequences that build the tension. For instance, the tavern scene is like 30 minutes long... but it needs to be to ratchet things up before everything eventually goes to hell. Those long scenes were what made the movie for me, especially the conversation that opens it.

    Kinda' pissed that the BD doesn't have a commentary track though, 'cause based on the 30 minute round-table they have on there, I would've loved to hear Tarantino and Pitt talk for the length of the movie.

    It really just now occurred to me that seeing this in a theater where the audience was cheering wildly at the violent ending (which involved a **** audience cheering wildly at a violent movie) was a pretty good joke played on us by Tarantino.

    I acutally enjoyed the movie myself. I think were some people are disappointed is they looked for more action and what not. While there is action the best part to me are the dialogue and the story lines, and how they play out and come together. Pitt was funny as hell and that was to me one of the best parts of the whole film.

    Interesting. Pitt did look comical in the bits of trailers/teasers. I'll have to check it out myself.

    I picked up this movie on Blu today. Will watch it this weekend. I have been looking forward to seeing it as I like most of Brad Pitts movies. I liked him in Snatch and Seven Years in Tibet so will let you know what I think after watching.

    I wasn't disappointed at all. In fact, I think it's one of Tarantino's better movies. I think you just have to go into it knowing what to expect from a Tarantino movie, because some of the scenes are long and uncomfortable like the "check out the big brain on Brett" sequence in Pulp Fiction. Where most filmmakers are afraid to linger too long on a single scene, Tarantino can spend 20 minutes in a single scene and make it absolutely fascinating.

    Pitt is hilarious... but it's not in that intentionally comical way. It's more in the delivery of some of his lines. The scenes where he tries to speak Italian are PRICELESS!
