[quote=“RhythmSiren”]Sabastian,
Pardon my gut reaction, and perhaps overkill reflex to reading one sentence in the news regarding Quentin Tarantino having surpassed his earlier glory with Pulp Fiction, and then reading a whole paragraph about the glory of twitter alongside it. Shouldn’t it be the other way around ?
Personally, I wanted, on that particular day to celebrate the film and film maker. Since that achievement means so very much to one party, Tarantino, and really nothing to Twitter. Twitter didn’t even exist from the point in time being gauged in the milestone. It had already been in the news (twitter) during the whole run of the film. Since Twitter had nothing to do with Pulp Fiction, and that was what the news story was centered around…it just seemed crude to me, to mention it again, on a day that is a personal best for Tarantino — and since Twitter has no affiliation with Pulp Fiction — well, on that particular day, with that particular comparison, the milestone has one man’s name on it.
The man involved with both films, Quentin Tarantino, The Weinsteins were involved with Pulp fiction, so them too, and others in Tarantino’s core team. Of course I respect and value the film’s vehement advertising for playing it’s crucial part. I’m also incredibly enamoured of Christoph Waltz and Melanie Laurant and August Diehl,Til schweiger, Diane Kruger, and others…but once again, they were not involved in Pulp Fiction, so have nothing to do with that specific record breaking achievement. They certainly were major players in the film’s quality though, and I’m completely compelled by each of them to now seek out all their German speaking films just to get more exposure to their talents.
I intended no disrespect. I just had this very emotional reaction to what seemed disrespectful of the creator of the film. Perhaps I’m over protective, or over reacting? I don’t know. I genuinely believe that in the top news story about Tarantino’s accomplishment on September 21st 2009, the majority of the words ideally would be about Tarantino. I just assumed I wouldnt be the only one who felt this way.
It wasn’t a story solely about Basterds. It was a story about breaking the record set by Pulp Fiction.
Hope this clears up any confusion caused by my earlier post. Your free to change the title to something less caustic if it’s coming off that way?
Thank you for your feedback.

I love that word caustic and I so rarely have the opportunity to use it in a sentence!
