If the blogger, I don't get the anonymous part (nor his singling out considering the pathetic state of professional film journalism academic film criticism). If the "Anonymous" poster at 6:09pm, then I don't see how such a savage inference was made from the expression. Tarantino is indubitably one of the top mainstream filmmakers (having not yet made a subpar film, which is more than I can say for almost all major directors that come to mind). One does not want to see such a person fail.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406509183596335885.post-40693144721653419732009-05-24T15:52:14.391-04:002009-05-24T15:52:14.391-04:00SAT words - The bread and butter of any blog post....SAT words - The bread and butter of any blog post.<br /><br />As for the Basterd's political incorrectness, it is less a journalistic hook and more a quality deep-seated in the film that makes it so compelling, so unlike any Tarantino film that has come before it. <br /><br />Recently acclaimed films from the aforementioned Saving Private Ryan to The Reader illustrate how the WW2 subject is often treated reverence. To brazenly fly in the face of this antistatic convention and craft a World War film with such a definite pulp edge creates a production that truly shocks. <br /><br />If that wasn't not enough, Christoph Waltz's recent Best Actor win at Cannes suggests that Basterds delivers this year's defining villain along the lines of Joker or Anton Chigurh (This is one award the festival got right - Waltz gives a phenomenal performance).Fareed Ben-Youssefhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01339796495762741967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3406509183596335885.post-4327898204049240582009-05-24T15:23:39.114-04:002009-05-24T15:23:39.114-04:00Five eurasians living in America on a falsified vi...Five eurasians living in America on a falsified visa, most likely in hollywood/new york as they always do, have to go back home to kill one of their leaders.
