My favorite part of Inglorious Basterds is on the DVD. You can watch the entire movie that the german's made. It's like 10 minutes long with 4 minutes of credit. So it's 6 minutes of Americans running to their deaths and over acting. It's so ridiculous and hysterical.
My least favorite part of Inglorious Basterds was Mike Myers because all I saw and heard was Austin Powers.
The idea of someone telling me I shouldn't/can't eat bread enrages me more than any facebook political opinion to be honest.
“Bread is the king of the table and all else is merely the court that surrounds the king. The countries are the soup, the meat, the vegetables, the salad but bread is king.”
Louis Bromfield, American novelist (1896-1956)
I know, celiac and glutten allergies (I have a mild one myself) are the saddest things.
Domesticated wheat and bread are the foundations of civilization. It's like being told that some 10,000 years of human history aren't for you.
I saw Inglourious Basterds last night. Somehow I missed it at the cinema, possibly because an utterly scathing review I read destroyed my enthusiasm for it. I should know better, but hey.
Anyway. It was pretty good. Some great scenes and some brilliant performances, but a) Mike Myers was distractingly rubbish b) Brad Pitt's gurn face is just silly and c) it just felt like sort of a mismash of stuff rather than the epic WWII movie I wanted.
Lots of fun, though.
your criticisms are reasonable
but the framing of the movie and use of dialogue really made it work for me.
i love the way that tarantino reaches back for directorial technique
I admit to giggling aloud when the 'Hugo Stiglitz' title splashed on to the screen and then we got his potted history. Also, Pitt and Myers aside, he gets great performances out of his actors.
I had a lot of fun picking out the soundtrack steals he made while the missus ground her teeth at my enviable command of movie trivia.

There is a lot of archeological evidence that early agriculturists were very malnourished because they depended entirely on their wheat and bread
i have heard a lot about this from my prewife who is VERY interested in early subsistence patterns
Frankie's dad is quite adamant that Sicialians aren't really Italians
I understand that sicily basically exists to make it look like the rest of italy has their shit together.
The rest of italy can suck my fat sicillian cock.
Man, having been in Florence and Milan, it's hard for me to imagine how much of a dysfunctional shithole Sicily must be in order to be actually looked-down-upon by Italy proper.
also abdhy and mojo CLEARLY are not american as they don't participate in our tradition of "find a country you like that one of your ancestors MAY have come from and claim it as your own"
Yeah, it doesn't work if the country already was your own.

Mike Myers was in Inglorious Bastards? I didn't even notice. Also, Arch. If you can't defriend someone on facebook that you actually know without making it awkward to be around them in person then that really speaks to their emotional instability.

I do this!
Before this moment it has not been clear to me why Frankie hates watching movies with me.

Yeah, I've heard that before. When people went from being hunter-gatherers to farmers their overall health and welfare actually decreased since they had a less varied diet and were now toiling away and losing part of their crop to kings/warlords/priests/etc.
Interesting theory I read was that the divide between the new farmers and those who resisted "domestication" and remained as nomadic pastoralists was so stark that the latter barely regarded the former as human.

it's not like it should surprise you, at all
That's after a hard day of roughing up the local shopkeeps for protection money and going for a drink at the speakeasy right

i saw your name and was jealous
does it have to do with garlic?
I guess I should find some right-wingers to befriend so I can have political dramas too.
I know plenty of left-wingers, but them I mostly agree with. :P

but yes the cereal are evil people are crazy
common sentiment amongst italians. the relatively recent strong city states led to every region insisting that they are the 'real' italy.
the case against sicilians is generally that they are actually africans. cism and all that.
Coeliac disease is a bitch. And somewhat hereditary too, as I've found out to my dismay. Fortunately there is gluten-free bread, pasta and beer.
kind of ok with this

I'm only two generations out.
My dad just had to marry an Irish woman and I just had to get Irish skin though.
Yeah, it doesn't work if the country already was your own.
have you had the sorghum beer?
i actually love it a lot and am not coeliac
much more to do with mascarpone.
and this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaban
While I shall call you Goodfella!
That way you remind me of two favourite pizzas.
you can have it then?
i dont care imma eat spaghetti for dinner tonight and like it
and then for lunch tomorrow
DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME?
there is a thing called the cosa nostra
3 and a half inches yesterday.
3 and a half more today.
5 feet of water in my basement.
I do this!

oh...i saw the "aglio" in it and was just like...garlic garlic garlic
I'm sure you've said that here before, because I read this and my brain was like, "That's true, ta for the reminder"
even though I've never seen either of you. Stupid internet...
and all my great-great-great-grandparents for that matter
yes i do
and i agree with you
but that doesn't make bread healthy
its like how beer isn't healthy really
but you would literally have to kill me before i stopped drinking it
