Do I reply as Jason or Johann?
How I should reply from now on?
How about this: Jason sticks if accreditation comes through.
If it doesn't, then it's Johann forever. Deal?
So it's up to you, TIFF communications office....
Absolutely, Pitt was better in True Romance, a movie I love.
Everybody in Basterds is a caricature in a way, but I want them to be REAL caricatures..real in the sense of absolute identity.
Raine has kind of an unknown or shaded identity. He's just "there". He doesn't give me the sense that he's been in war forever, that he's an officer who's earned his stripes to be Commander of the Basterds squad. Yes, he's got a rope burn around his neck. So what? I didn't think about it at all until Tarantino mentioned it in the Rose interview. As a matter of fact, I would've liked to have had a little more background info on all the Basterds. Just a little more info. Not the whole enchilada, just some more clues into their "characters". Make no mistake, I worship this movie.
Loved it, through and through. And always will.
(It's a big movie event in my life, what with seeing QT and Eli Roth in person at the Premiere, and I'm so glad I love it. It would've sucked the big weenie if I had that priviledge and then the movie was a turkey to me). I'm just being nitpicky, really.
Tarantino made the movie the way he did, and to me it's excellent.
Excellent premise, excellent performances, excellent cinema.
I don't wanna get too nitpicky, as he said he doesn't delve too much into subtexts at all in his movies.
He likes to keep it on the surface.
