THe next time someone wants to have a conversation about the great deals they found on things that they purchased I am going to just flat-out turn around and walk away.
It was pretty great. The way the Tarantino uses long dialogue sessions to build tension with rather percussive action strikes me as something kind of old-fashioned in terms of movies. Like, you don't see it much anymore.
Also he has a great gift for scoring his movies.
Tarantino takes entirely too much shit from people, he's a good director. That first scene in Basterds is incredibly powerful and no scrub director is going to get that same level of tension.

I don't see what's wrong with wanting to have sex with someone for the pure physical pleasure of it.
I guess that makes me "sad".
That you want it so desperately as to deal with someone you rather not be around at all is a little sad, yeah.
I think you went to the extreme there.
If I can't stand to be around someone at all, then the shit I have to put up with is too much for the reward.
If they have a lot of annoying qualities, but a couple redeeming ones (like, they're dumb and vapid, but overall a nice person, or a complete bitch but fun to talk to) then I don't mind putting up with some of their shit.
It's all a matter of degree.

Tarintino gets shit because he's basically girl talk who acts as if he were beethoven.
Don't get me wrong, I'm all for casual encounters. But I like it to be with someone I have a good time with, not some sort of meat hole cost benefit analysis.
that is simultaneously the worst and best description i've ever heard
A girl I was sorta interested in told me I had problems with commitment because when asked about tattoos I said I didn't like their permanence.
Did you tell her she had a problem with logic?
That's not an illogical claim.
It might be an unreasonable one, but it is not an illogical claim.
I think it's illogical to say just because you don't like the permanence of a tattoo, you have problems with commitment in all forms. I mean that's a blanket judgement based on a single example.
Just because you don't want to try escargot doesn't necessarily mean you have a problem trying new things.
But it could also be that case that you don't want to try escargot because you have a problem trying new things. It does not necessarily infer it, but proposing that you do not like to try escargot because you do not like to try new things is not contradictory, either.
A tattoo is, by definition, an an indelible, long lasting thing. Commitment is a binding relationship with a long lasting thing. It's not unreasonable, although it is not logically inferred, to argue that if one has a problem with on commitment the one has a problem with the idea of commitment in general. However, to assume such a thing in itself is rather unreasonable while nevertheless not being illogical.
I spent way to long trying to respond to this so I'm just going to chalk it up to a difference of terms, and the colloquial definition of "illogical" being pretty much the same as "unreasonable."

yeah the Tarantino is pretty good at that. The dialogue was that much sharper and more focused in this to make, in my opinion, the best use of it yet which is saying something. also the use of language and respect to the real effect of communication in a place and time like that was .
THe next time someone wants to have a conversation about the great deals they found on things that they purchased I am going to just flat-out turn around and walk away.
So how about those Steam sales, eh?

Seriously. I really enjoyed Inglourious Basterds.

Exactly. I mean, I have no experience in this matter, but it seems to me that sex is about the people involved. That you just wanna stick your dick somewhere, even if that somewhere is a somewhere you can't stand, is totally up to you. Maybe it's not pathetic, but it is sad.

bar and the parlour game
was just fantastic
The scene with
Shosanna and Landa eating strudel and drinking milk was just as awesome to watch as anything else in the movie. I about shit my pants when he ordered the milk for her.

Also, while Brad Pitt pretty much played a cartoon in that movie, he is always fun to watch in a role. Who would have thought that he would have been the actor from that period of actors who really had staying power and acting ability beside just being a dreamboat?
Well, him and Johnny Depp I guess.

I love a good deal I'll admit it. I am not interested to read about good deals on what I don't care about, but someone finding a rare game or movie for cheap is fun to me.

podly you don't really think that do you?
I think he's a self-aggrandizing, pompous prick who gets most of his inspiration directly from your standard postmodern blend of auter-homage and low-culture kitschery. Don't get me wrong, I greatly enjoy Tarintino flicks. But I personally can't stand the man, and I get annoyed by the praise that he gets for blatantly using shots and devices of other directors.

It's all a matter of degree.
There are certain qualities I find irredeemable, which is where I suppose you and I differ.
I guess a big part of where I'm coming from is also that there can be serious consequences with sex, and so if I'm going to do it I'm going to do it with people I'm actually interested in. Really, if your only option is someone you're not into, but she has a vagina, why not just go home and masturbate? The safest, simplest solution.

I just saw Burn After Reading the other day.
That movie had a great cast, but I think I loved Pitt the most.
I hope my new roommates, whoever they are, prove to be people I can watch movies with. That is to say, I hope they have similar tastes to myself and don't interject with comments like, "I knew that was going to happen."

if you have the disc, watch the roudtable feature. it's pitt and tarantino and an interviewer (not really a roundtable but I think the disc calls it a roundtable). there are a couple of parts where it seems like tarantino knows more, or thinks more, about Pitt's acting than Pitt does. which is awesome because he also describes it as being a natural thing he falls into, so it makes sense he has less precise things to say about it.
but anyway, it's funny and informative besides that, if you get around to it.
