Bret Easton Ellis calls Inglourious Basterds a masterpiece.

At Reason Online - The Glourious Basterd: In defense of Quentin Tarantino.

Beware of spoilers for Basterds if you haven't seen it yet (like me!).

Thought you might enjoy some of the hate mail I get for having the nerve to run a website about a guy making movies.

I am guessing your website is all about Quentin Tarintino,

I saw 'Inglorious Basterds',
was bored by the dialog, and sickened by the violence.

Mr Tarintino seems to take every opportunity to show this..and he should be arrested, or committed to an asylum,
and yet, you dedicate your precious time maintaining a website in in his honor.

In this particular movie it seems that the audience were meant to relate to or support the 'heros' regular mutilation and reveling in taking human life.

Do you notice that so often in Quentins movies the 'good' guys take some pleasue in revenge, or laugh at someones pain or misfortune ?
This is not what a good soldier, hero, or ordinary person ever does.

Quentin is unintentionally revealing his sadistic nature, he is emotionally defective, an idiot psychotic.

And yet, you pathetic worms, dedicate a website to the morbid, uninspiring tripe that he regularly vomits onto the screen.
You are participating in his self absorbed, violent fantasy.

You disgust me.
You should be ashamed of yourselves.
You are the enemies of humanity, worse than Nazis ever were.

So I'm worse than the Nazi's, but he's the one advocating that Tarantino be arrested for filming fictional violence. Just can't make this shit up.

Ingllouious Basterds is going to be the #1 movie this weekend with about $35m in sales.

That also makes it Tarantino's biggest opening weekend ever.

Funny how times change.

Next for Tarantino? How about a British spy movie based on the novels of Len Deighton?

Short List Magazine has an interview with Tarantino

BigGeoff from CineFOOLS got to attend the Sydney premiere of Inglourious Bastards and has posted a very positive review.

With Inglourious Basterds just around the corner Tarantino is busy on two fronts; deciding on a final cut (keep that bastard..err...basterd long, I say) and prepping for the endless rounds of interviews and promotion that come with a highly anticipated new release.

But after that, what's next?

For the sake of fun and a good argument, if you had your choice, what "Sequel" would you like to see come from Mr. Brown in the near future? For years a VEGA BROTHERS film had been rumored in the works. I've heard musings over a Kill Bill sequel THE BRIDE.

So, dear reader, what would you like to see as a Tarantino feature?

THE BRIDE
VEGA BROTHERS
PULP FICTION PART TWO
TRUE ROMANCE 2
THE DEADLY VIPERS
TALES OF THE WOLFE
RAVEN MCCOY AND FOX FORCE FIVE

Do any of these strike your fancy, or do you have something bigger and bolder in mind. Let us know what you think.
