[QUOTE=BrickInHead;48450707]i really disagree. they've always got a distinct style to them, and the first trailer for inglorious basterds was great.
(also are you implying that basterds [I]isn't[/I] an action film? I mean on the spectrum of tarantino flicks it's not kill bill but it's definitely not pulp fiction)[/QUOTE]
I guess I must be remembering the TV spots:

Watching those gave the impression that the film was Rambo with Nazis though admittedly, I didn't know much of Tarantino's films back then.
I, too, was sold on Django after seeing the preview.
To be fair, this is a very difficult movie to market considering it's like Reservoir Dogs where it almost entirely takes place in one location.
Is this his last movie?

Two more.
It felt sort of meh to me. Like it didn't seem that much like a tarantino flick. I felt the resevoir dogs aspect but not much else. But im with you guys with tv spots and trailers kinda fucking with the movies.
I've never seen a Tarantino film where the trailer has did it justice. Just enough to get you interested.
I just hope there's something in hateful that lives up to the first 10 mins of Inglorious, that was incredible.

i honestly think that scene will go down as the best scene of tarantino's career.
while every tarantino fan adores pulp fiction, part of that reason is that it's so fully ingrained within our culture. everyone knows jules' lines in the opening scene, and it's an extremely well crafted film.
but the opening of inglorious basterds is downright powerful in a way that many other tarantino flicks aren't. that scene has impact. it makes you feel the tension, it makes you nervous, and it's a heartwrenching scene overall.
personally inglorious basterds is my favorite tarantino flick because of that scene.
imo he really grew with that film as well - it shows in django. django managed to depict the violence against slaves so brutally and honestly (whilst rarely losing its black humor edge) that it sort of made slavery horrifying again in a culture where it's become rather sterile, a talking point for historians and politicians.
given the incredible bits of inglorious basterds and django i'm really curious to see where h8ful 8 goes
