What was the last movie you've seen?

Inglourious Basterds (2009) – I suppose I shouldn’t expect Tarantino to hit a home run every time out, and this one is still at least an extra-bases hit….it’s also probably my least favorite Tarantino film. That’s not to say it isn’t good or stronger than much of what’s out there in the cinema, but the two strengths of most Tarantino films – snappy dialogue and novel directing choices – only make cameos in Basterds (for example, the opening scene is probably the best example of classic Tarantino in the entirety of the film – it also features the best acting).

Actually, one thing I really liked about Basterds was that the dialog seemed a lot less masturbatory than Tarantino's previous work. I always liked his dialog as well (except in Death Proof), but I do feel like sometimes he includes lines in his movies just because he thinks they're clever and not because they advance the story or reveal anything about the characters.

And seriously? Did you really like Death Proof more than this one?

I rated it on par, but yeah, I think I'd give the slight edge to Death Proof: http://www.racketboy.com/forum/viewtopi ... 1&p=131299

I saw Hairspray (1988) and Mr. Beans Holiday (or was it vacation?) today. I thought both were great, especially Mr. Bean.

I saw Hairspray (1988)

Oh, I love that movie. Better than the film adaptation of the musical based on the '88 version. But the new one is still great. Hell, even that vapid mongoloid Zac Efron was good, though that still makes him the worst actor in the film.

TRIVIA: One of the singers from "Welcome to the '60s", who was also a choreographer for the film, was also involved with REPO! The Genetic Opera. She was the choreographer and played one of the Genterns. Also, REPO!'s Alexa Vega was chosen to play Shilo after Darren Lynn Bousman saw her in the stage version of Hairspray (she played Amber and Penny at different times).

Wait a minute, Doc. Ah... Are you telling me that you built a time machine... out of a DeLorean?

Well, the way I figured it if you're going to build a time machine into a car you might as well do it in style!

IIRC, that would be the second time that we did that with Back to the Future quotes.

The NeverEnding Story in high definition. Quality transfer, special fx that stand the test of time unlike today's cheap CG.
