Third
Quentin Tarantino post in a day, can you tell I'm a big fan? Officially the embargo contract that I signed
July 22nd with Universal has been lifted as we have now entered the week of release for
Inglourious Basterds. But rather than review it today as I had initially planned, instead I'm heading out to see the movie for a second time tonight but the first with an audience of Joe Popcorns. Sometimes it takes two goes with Quentin to fully digest what's going on, and you get all caught up with the Quentin dialogue. Trying to figure out just where in the blazers the movie is headed takes up most of your concentration, and although I was prepared with a script reading before hand (though granted some 12 months earlier so it was a little hazy), the big changes meant I was still surprised by the direction the movie went in at times. Having said that, I adored
Inglourious Basterds at the press screening I was at last month and it got cheers all around once the credits rolled. Will it be the same with a regular paying audience tonight - the average movie-goer, the ones who went in their droves to see
G.I. Joe and
Transformers 2? I shall let you know in two shakes of a lamb's tail...
