Inglorious Basterds - I can't help but think there are some parts of it which aren't entirely historically accurate

But loved the whole feel of the film, and of course Tanrantino's wonderful dialogue.

District 9 is a very very good film. But god I really do hate the South African accent.

Also, finally got round to watching 'The three Burials of Melquides Estrada. Been meaning to for ages. Got a real Cormac McCarthy feel to it. Which for me is a good thing.

And yes, soneone who hasn't been living in a cave making it to 2009 and not knowing the ending to Sixth Sense is pretty bloody amazing

Put your money on the actor playing the "Jew Hunter" (Christoph Waltz) for the Best Supporting Actor award at next years Academy Awards. Performing in 4 languages?!?! GTFOH!!!! He was utterly incredible in every way.

I've never seen anyone make drinking a glass of milk look menacing.

And I thought Pitt's character was hilarious. I was just about in the isles laughing we he came out with his

It-alien accent

.

"BON GERNO."

Totally agree about the milk.

Do you think theres any significance in him ordering a glass of milk for the girl the second time they met? I thought that was fantastic from QT.

I enjoyed it too but not the ending, unless I'm missing something.

I loved that film, but then I always was a Clough fan. Far more sympathetic towards the great man than the book, anyhow.

Hurt Locker for me this week-end I think. I seem to watch films at the cinema one week after they come out.

And get yourself down the flicks for Inglorious. Brilliant, no messing and I think some of the scenes work better on the big screen.

I loved the hurt locker, although two of us out of 4 didn't. Moaned it was just a guy doing his job for two hours.

A good Jarhead is how I would describe it.

What a crap way to describe a film you could say that about a lot of films really

I just watched 'Strangers with Candy' and I only just found out it was a series before the film, and the film is a prequel.

It's about a 47 year old ex junkie/prostitute/prisoner who goes back to school to try and get her dad out of a coma.

It was quite odd, and certainly different, with Amy Sedaris as the main character Jerri Blank.

I really want to see the series now.

[ralph250]

I thought it was quite lovely. Good music too although the music got slightly annoying when played over the top of people speaking. I liked how it was done, although it was quite confusing at first!!

One thing I don't really understand though (sorry, can't get spoilers to work so have opted for white text!!)......when the newbie arrived and Tony got him in the showers, why was that? For any actual reason in particular or just because he was the newbie?? Seemed as though it was something to do with that guy chopping his thumb off, but I didn't really understand that either?!
