Later known to their enemy as “the Basterds,” Raine's squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of the Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquis, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own....

boring? the final "showdown" between the bride and bill... now THAT was boring, only because carradine couldn't pull off tarantino's dialogue if his life depended on it. but the casting in this film was just plain excellent. tarantino's dialogue had never before felt so natural and organic as it did in this film. there was always that point in his previous films where you thought to yourself, "is he serious??? he's really pushing it. who the f**k talks like this?" but here, it just felt right. waltz was just superb as landa. and not to mention that the script was very clever. loved the many plants-and-payoffs in this.
now, im not attacking you for thinking the film was boring. i can actually sympathize with you a little. i just got done watching it for the third time with a group of people. i could sense a little boredom from them in a couple parts of the film, but at what moments they found boring, i found fascinating in a way. i loved the quiet moments in the film, maybe even more so than the loud and violent parts.
*SPOILER*
there was this moment in the film when landa orders two pastries, one for himself and one for emmanuelle/shoshanna, with a coffee for him, and a glass of milk for her. this was a hint at a scene that was shown at the beginning of the film where landa asks for a glass of milk just before he has shoshanna's family massacred.
*END SPOILERS*
there were many quiet moments like this that built up really great tension, but for some, might not have been appreciated as much. alfred hitchcock says this in an interview with truffaut:
"Let us suppose that there is a bomb underneath this table between us. Nothing happens, and then all of a sudden, “Boom!” There is an explosion. The public is surprised, but prior to this surprise, it has seen an absolutely ordinary scene, of no special consequence. Now, let us take a suspense situation. The bomb is underneath the table and the audience knows it, probably because they have seen the anarchist place it there. The public is aware that the bomb is going to explode at one o’clock and there is a clock in the decor. The public can see that it is a quarter to one. In these conditions this same innocuous conversation becomes fascinating because the public is participating in the scene. The audience is longing to warn the characters on the screen: “You shouldn’t be talking about such trivial matters. There’s a bomb beneath you and it’s about to explode!”
"In the first case we have given the public fifteen seconds of surprise at the moment of the explosion. In the second we have provided them with fifteen minutes of suspense. The conclusion is that whenever possible the public must be informed."
that's what sets this film apart from saving private ryan.

So out of curiousity, does anyone have a clue as to whether the DVD's gonna open with the original Weinstein Co. logo or go straight to the classic Universal one?
That Blu-Ray artwork needs a revision. Stat. Maybe switch it with the 1-disc DVD's artwork or the UK limited edition steelbook.
this was the best movie of the year for me, one of tarantinos best
I think I will buy the 1-disc edition. I didn't like the film enough to really care about extra material, it was an excellent film, but I like the artwork for the 1-disc release and I doubt I watch all the extras on the 2-disc.
I actually like the single disc art better than the 2-disc, but I'll still get the 2-disc!
takashistorm, it isn't a remake. The films are alike in title only.
Billy I agree. The single-disc artwork is PERFECT, so inclusive of so many aspects of the film. That two-disc artwork is the pits.

And as per usual, the single-disc art is 100x better than the Blu and 2-disc art. Thank you yet again studio artwork lackeys.

i dont. companies need to continue having special features that are only available on blu-ray. until the rest of the world decides to join us blu-ray shoppers, they will continue to be slow release/expensive as s**t. catch up with the times.
i might pick this up. quentin let me down with his last few movies. and are we to believe there will be no "Extended" or "Unrated" cut of this movie? well, at least instead of stealing other peoples work, he's actually doing remakes now. thats like authorized theft

You really have no taste if you think a REMAKE is the best of the year. D9 I agree was good, but this was just terrible.
Inglourious Basterds isn't a remake. It is loosely based on The Inglorious B*****ds by Enzo G. Castellari, with homages to it, but it is far from being a remake.

Loved the film! He built WAY more tension than I ever would have expected. It wasn't wall to wall violence. I feel the cover art is quite deceptive. Oh well, I will buy the film, just wrong artwork

SWEET! I was hoping that would be the artwork.

i understand that...but only in so much that they weren't that interesting because we didn't have anything explore them really. we have the brief recruitment, the interrogation, then before they meet up at the bar. i think one or two exploratory scene would have been welcomed.

I really wanted to see this in theaters,but missed out,glad to see it coming out before Christmas,as I can ask for it as a gift,if only I could say the same thing about another movie that I also didn't get to see....*cough*District 9*cough*.

Anyway, I went into this film with admittedly low expectations, but it is my favorite movie of the year thus far.

Inglourious Basterds made more domestically than The Stepfather and Obsessed combined.

Hi if you go on play.com the uk release has provisional artwork for dvd and blu ray THIS WAS MY FILM OF THE YEAR
For a movie that QT claims to have been working on for so many years, this movie is a real letdown. It's good enough but good enough just isn't good enough! I may buy this somewhere down the line to complete my QT collection, but it's no first day buy for me. Maybe I need to watch it once more. But I was disappointed from when I read the script the first time.
When the first few QT movies released, it was a very exciting period with loaded 2 disc editions of Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and From Dusk Till Dawn. But now we get bare-bones Kill Bill DVDs and incomplete Grindhouse experience DVDs. I haven't bought those yet, despite the sheer enjoyment that is Kill Bill Vol. 1. I'm one of those fools who just hopes that some day we will get complete releases of Kill Bill and Grindhouse.
I can say "fool", can't I?

Can't really say I rushed out to see this one like the Kill Bills, but maybe I'll give it a whirl on Blu-ray.....

You and me both man, I completely agree with you. I normally love his movies, all of them, but this was just a borefest. I will watch it again on DVD because I saw it at a late showing, and I was sick and I had just gotten off of work....maybe my opinion will change.

That case artwork is so un-Universal's. Universal doesn't do their case layout like that. No matter what, they always use their wavy slogan at the bottom.

love this film. Definitely want to own it when it's released on Dec 15th.
Can't wait. One of my absolute favorite movies of this decade and I hope when the Oscars roll around, one name remains on the tip of everyones' tongue: CHRISTOPH WALTZ.

The best thing in the trailer to me was when Brad Pitt says "We're gonna be doin' one thang and one thang only... killin' Nat-zees"....something about the way he delivers the line is frickin' hilarious. I bugged the sh*t out of my roommates for weeks repeating that line at the most random times, particularly while playing Wolfenstein. Good stuff...
As for the movie itself, I have my doubts about how well the whole thing holds up (Tarantino is really hit-or-miss with me), but I will reserve final judgement until I actually see it.

I will demand the 2 disc edition for christmas!

Was upset I missed this in the cinema, but I can't wait to see in on Bluray. Have the Bluray steelbook preordered already, not long to wait now.
Will buy and only will play it on the future Blu-Ray player I get...

Yep. But I'm actually getting Harry Potter and Night at the Museum instead. Saw Inglorious Basterds but will rent for my dad, still need to see The Hangover.

Sounds like a decent collection of extras...good that they aren't skipping out on DVD extras to have Blu-ray exclusives. First day purchase, definitely.
good to know the extras for both Blu and DVD are the same...
Wasn't all that crazy about this movie. I'm not saying it wasn't good, it was just..meh. Will rent but won't buy.
LOVED this movie. A must buy!
