Inglourious Basterds

dar512 · 08-24-2009, 03:28 PM

It has a really good story, some really good dialog, and some gore that I didn't think was necessary. I had to turn my head for a few things.

Definitely worth seeing if you don't mind the violence or don't mind turning your head.

I suspect this movie will be considered oscar-worthy for many facets.

I am curious about this film. My step MIL said it was a comedy which makes me a bit hesitant considering subject matter...

But then... Flint and I just saw Sector 9 which is basically a SF ploy to get folks to sit through a movie about Apartheid... so there you go. It was really well done ... just FYI.

I generally like Tarentino.... so I'll probably see it eventually... did you feel it is a big screen must see or acceptable on DVD in the privacy of your living room?

It's not really a comedy per se. Certainly there are some very funny moments, but I wouldn't call it a comedy. Tarentino is hard to pigeon-hole. It's one of the things that make his movies good.

I think you would still enjoy on your tv at home. But I didn't feel cheated to have seen it at the theatre.

Tell them about the group of small children that were brought to see District 9. Pooka was wondering, if your kid was at a sleepover etc. and the parents took them to a gory, violent, mind-warping film--could you press charges against them somehow? Because that's just ƒucked up.

Pooka · 08-24-2009, 05:14 PM

Yeah... what was up with that... two or three adults came waddling in with a trail of toddlers and young children behind... I counted 7... Seriously. I wonder... could you press charges... or would it just be on you for LETTING your kid stay with these folks in the first place...

I kept thinking surely G Force was sold out and they thought "Hey we could see Sector 9 ... its about aliens". Surely an adult wouldn't intentially take a kid to an R rated movie... or am I wrong.

Well... there was the couple that had their infant in the theater when we saw The Devils Rejects so...

You are wrong. Some folks just don't have much sense.

And there's nothing stopping them from making kids that don't have much sense.

Olde Obsservation: You need a permit to have a dog, but they let anyone have a human child.

but, don't you need some kind of permit to run a movie theater? And don't they have to prevent underage people seeing adult movies? I guess the classification wasn't quite strict enough, but

very little interest in seeing this movie--don't like comedies much, and weird comedies even less

Clodfobble · 08-25-2009, 07:46 AM

If they're accompanied by a parent, kids can walk into anything except NC-17 (x-rated.) I've known several people who felt that their not-infant kids were young enough that R-rated movies were "over their head" anyway and thus completely safe.

DanaC · 08-25-2009, 07:51 AM

I've watched r-rated movies with my nieces. The eldest was just about old enough (her parents are very liberal: as long as there is no sexual violence, or realistic violence they let her watch what she likes) and the youngest it really did just go over her head. They were 9 and 6 respectively when they watched Kill Bill. Two more well adjusted kids you cuoldn't hope to meet.

Clodfobble · 08-25-2009, 07:57 AM

It does depend on the kid as well. My 11-year-old stepdaughter couldn't watch that movie (Kill Bill, not Inglourious Basterds) without crying and having nightmares for weeks.

DanaC · 08-25-2009, 09:59 AM

*nods* yah. Most parents know what films their little-uns will be freaked out by and what they will take in their stride.

The only thing I ever recall freaking my eldest niece out was actually a nature documentary. Though she loves anything to do with nature; this showed a spider hunting and catching its prey. She had spider nightmares for weeks. Kill Bill, however, did nothing :P

smoothmoniker · 08-25-2009, 11:31 AM

There was a 6-year-old kid next to me when I went to see District 9.

I don't care who you are, there's no way that kid should have been seeing that movie.

skysidhe · 08-25-2009, 11:51 AM

For some reason I was confusing Valkrie with this one.

Seems like I keep telling myself I am going to see it.

wow I'm behind.

Flint · 08-25-2009, 12:34 PM

There are different kinds of R...

i.e. the difference between jiggling boobies for three seconds, and things like psychological torture and graphic medical experiments, etc.
