I would have to think about second place very hard but I promise you Tarantino wont make the top ten ;-)<br /><br />Daniel: Reservoir Dogs has always been my favourite Tarantino and I do like Pulp Fiction but I have no great affection for it.<br /><br />I admit I haven't watched either of the Kill Bills as I just cannot sit through two Uma Thurman lead films.<br /><br />I like that you described the part I hated the most as wish fulfilment. I never saw it that way and now you have pointed it out I can't argue with that.<br /><br />I can't argue against the writing for the first part of the film. In the scenes when the characters are just sitting talking the dialogue can't be faulted. <br /><br />I am fully on board with this film until it gets to the final section in the cinema and then the switch is flicked and it just begins to irritate the hell out of me!<br /><br />You are also always very welcome to gush and in the unlikely event you taken a dislike to del Toro I will be there to back him up :-)<br /><br />D: Tarantino is a very acquired taste and it's one that yet to grow on me. <br /><br />That's why this film is so frustrating as it is brilliant up until the last act and I (apparently) can't get past it!Karinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675872174982961589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061101762249972174.post-55095039480433772672011-10-06T04:48:53.916+01:002011-10-06T04:48:53.916+01:00I still haven't watched that movie, but it'...I still haven't watched that movie, but it's Tarrantino (Pulp Fiction) and all.

I’ll be honest and tell you that I love all his films to varying degrees. <br /><br />Basterds is a particular favorites for a variety of reasons. First and foremost it’s one of his most mature films right up there with Kill Bill Vol 2. <br /><br />Basterds has a lot of layers to it along with a nice dissection of how film skew our perceptions while at the same time kind of pointing the mirror back at us in that last act with the wish fulfillment finale. I could probably go on and on but QT major strength is his ability to write incredibly sharp dialogue, here sans pop culture reference, and take 60 & 70’s Grindhouse type films and elevating them. <br /><br />I’ll stop gushing to just say that there are tons in your camp as well that just hate his style of filmmaking.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11999677394326327996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5061101762249972174.post-52250480401243530402011-10-06T00:59:13.902+01:002011-10-06T00:59:13.902+01:00Hahahaha I hate Tarantino as the smug self-aggrand...Hahahaha I hate Tarantino as the smug self-aggrandising prick he is too.....but I love his films! Funnily enough though whilst I liked IB I didn't think it reached the heights of being his best.<br /> I must admit that Tarantino is second on my list of directors/film makers I rate the highest. Only a certain rotund ex-Englishman named Hitchcock beats him!BRENThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15953231992674091002noreply@blogger.com
