There seems to be a division in the opinions of people I talk to about IB. Some, like me, really like it, and some to think that it's a big step back from Kill Bill. I don't know. I think it's fantastic. It's entertaining, it's exciting, it's beautifully shot, it has Christoph Waltz playing one of the creepiest villains I've ever seen in the role that basically introduced him to America (thanks for that Tarantino!), it's just stuffed wall to wall with cool/fun cameos but also with great performances (WHY does Eli Roth not do more comedic performances?? Missing your calling!) and perhaps most importantly, it is the movie that put the honoree of Fassbruary, Michael Fassbender, on the map.
For that alone it would be a great movie. Perhaps it's because of all those reasons that people don't like it, perhaps they see the bursting-at-the-seams quality of the movie as a detriment, but I think it's great. I mean, look at this cast: Christoph Waltz, Daniel Bruhl, Brad Pitt, BJ Novak, Melanie Laurent (who still is not super famous but is doing such great stuff in indies these days, I love her!), MIKE MYERS!!!, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth, Til Schweiger (who I'll love forever for his character in SLC Punk), Lea Seydoux, Samm Levine, August Diehl, plus you can definitely hear Samuel L. Jackson doing some narration. It's just insane. Insanely great.
Did this happen anywhere else in the movie? It seemed like this was the only character that got this introduction. Which made me love it even more. This was probably a reference to something that I am too ignorant to pick up on.
Heeee's here!
War paint. Loved that shot.
