I don't watch movies that are graphically violent, so I don't know. I just don't have the stomach for it. I could barely sit through Watchmen and I had to fast forward through some parts. I'm guessing I won't see it then.
Isn't it spelled "Basterds"? That image has it spelled incorrectly. I haven't seen it... probably will wait until DVD. My mom is going to see it, for some reason. I never would have guessed that. Ed O.
It was good, a little slow in parts and there was less of Brad Pitt and the basterds than I would have liked. Overall it was pretty good, I think Tarantino tries too hard sometimes. He isn't going to top Pulp Fiction in a million years. Still a good movie though.
I just saw "Sleep With Me" again last night. I completely forgot about Tarantino's cameo in that movie where he theorizes on the subtext of "Top Gun". [video=youtube;vyN8VN4BSzM]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyN8VN4BSzM&feature=related[/video] Brilliant.
I just saw District 9. I almost got up and walked out twice, but my girlfriend convinced me to stay. It was the most God-awful thing I've ever seen; totally gratuitious violence and stomach-wrenching bloodshed and gore. I was almost physically sick watching it.
District 9 is so awesome, and I've heard likewise for IB, I can't wait to see it. For HCP, I'd see District 9 first.
Yeah, I knew I should have seen District 9 instead. Basterds wasn't exactly soft core as far as violence goes either.
Both movies are awesome. Basterds had some gore... but IMHO not Reservoir Dogs-style gore... more Kill Bill style.
If by "grow a pair" you mean develop the ability to waste two hours of my life watching non-stop carnage, bloodshed, and violence, just for the kick, then no thanks. "District 9" is a piece of crap, but if you're one of those sophomoric types who loves gore for gore's sake, and just can't get your thrills any other way, then be my guest and go see it.
If you didn't like these movies, name some that you did like so I can get a feel of your taste in movies.
