Basterd101,
You got it ! I wrote in the very first thing I posted here that it had become my favorite of all time the first time I saw it. Are you saying it’s not your favorite ever ? How is such a thing possible?
Going to see it again, tonight…I really love film, and have seen other films this many times in the theatre, but they were not nearly as great. Great art is rare.
I try to enjoy/support it while I can. A run in the theatre is like the blink of an eye in a lifetime, and for all you Tarantino fans reading this right now, think about how much more possible it is for the films to get made and into theatres in style, when there is a dedicated show of support via repeated viewings and word of mouth? Aside from the sheer joy, and learning involved in seeing it as much as possible in the theatre, purchasing movie tickets is voting in a sense - your voting for what filmmakers/film companies you want to have the most power to create the art you will be watching for the next twenty years. If we don’t show up now, we can’t complain when were forced to pick among poor quality offerings of the future. I have been incredibly let down by so much of the total CRAP that passes for entertainment recently. I didn’t feel euphoria about very much of it. Well, post INGLOURIOUS, that’s changed. I’m grateful, and I want to see more of this happening. The bigger a success this film is at the box office, the better quality films we will get in general, as other filmmakers strive to compete with the higher bar that’s been set. What other writer/director is doing this in the mainstream, besides Quentin Tarantino ? Few.
I also just selfishly hope to see Tarantino - and his chosen film company with nothing but ease in their long and illustrious future of filmmaking. Is that p.c. on this board?
One can only hope… :laugh:
