Inglourious Basterds

Maybe Pitt’s worst performance in a popular film. He could’ve shared whatever Shrill Dumb Bitch Juice he was sipping on set with BJ Novak who looks fully dissociated the entire movie (you’ll never be great if you're terrified of looking uncool, BJ). Other performances all solid to exceptional though. Don’t think this is QT’s masterpiece, maybe if he’d retooled the Basterds part a bit. Also, the big finale is not as cathartic or violent as the movie spends its runtime teasing. Still absolutely love the rhythms. Kruger & Fassbender & cast really stood out. Waltz in career ruining perfection. worth it.

the only thing more terrifying than being stuck in a cycle of abuse is watching the same thing happen to your best friend. thank you mary nighy for making this thoughtful movie.

I don't know much about Jonathan Glazer but it was clear to me he understands the fundamental German pathology when colleagues visiting the Commandant early on say they traveled through Prague instead of Vienna because “it’s 56 minutes faster!” 

The discourse around ZoI so far has favored a lot of abstract discussion and theory which of course Holocaust/atrocity cinema begets, but there are SO many remarkable blink and you miss it moments in this film. It’s not plotty by any…

I’m convinced festival audiences go through some sort of collective psychosis
