I'm either going tonight or tomorrow. I *am* a Tarantino fan, and I'm really f'n pumped. I hope it's awesome.

Just got back from Inglorious Basterds. It was.. okay.

Yea.. it was pretty good. I didn't realize how favorable my opinions were until I tried to write a review. I could basically only glow. I still don't love it as much as most other Tarintino movies, but it was good.

I just watched Traitor and State of Play... 2 very enjoyable movies!

Yeah I watched that and District 9 back to back at the cinema and I think IB is easily third in awesomeness behing Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. I get that people love Kill Bill and I would prolly love Kill Bill too if it was directed by someone else and didn't feel like Tarantino wasted his writing wits on a two hour genre tribute montage, but for me I'll always associate him with his ability to have two people sit down and talk for 15 minutes and be cooler than about five action movies put together. Inglorious Basterds is a return to form as far as I'm concerned, and there were a couple of scenes I immediately wanted to see again as I walked out of the theater.

District 9 was really good. I had a hard time not thinking about how awesome a Halo movie within its framework would've been, and there's definitely some heartbreak involved. It's a bit like becoming real good friends with someone you hoped would become your girlfriend. It's not quite what you reckon it could've been, but it's a great thing regardless. And hey! Better than not getting to see her at all!

Brilliant performances throughout both movies, the main character of D9 really sticks in your mind. Brilliantly portrayed.

Kill Bill is a far more coherent plot than Inglourious Basterds. It's equally well written, well acted, and well directed. Blasphemy.

As I said, I get that people like it, but I don't. It may be well crafted as such, but I simply think Tarantino's involvement with Kill Bill is replacable whereas his fingerprints are all over something like Death Proof and IB. There's just nobody like him when it comes to compelling writing with incredible momentum. Kill Bill just isn't that kind of movie at all, even though Vol 2 certainly sobers up some in that regard. Still, it's an awkward marriage to try and force it into having more dialogue, and in terms of being memorable, Vol 1 in its confident action rompyness (rumpus? :O) is more successful I reckon.

Just watched Coraline, thought it was great...
