Thanks, Raiks. Will keep an eye out for it. Haven't seen the sequels and, thankfully, the remake. :D

Firstly, he being a devil himself makes deal with devil of other kind (American Nazi-to-Nazi's). It had this sense of irony. I see you agree with this. But the problem is for Landa to confiscate his arms & hand himself over to Basterds just like that. But that is the protocol to 'surrender'. As per the superior's orders (with whom Landa made the deal), The basterds had no authority to kill him. But they being ugly basterds, do like to serve the Nazis they spare - a memorabilia on forehead. And Landa shouldn't be knowing this. At the very end of Chapter two, we see Pitt addressing a Nazi soldier on how they would remain to live after the wars. the soldier replies they could burn their uniforms and live in some hideout village. So, he plants a swastika in his head. The soldier reveals this to Hitler, who commands to keep that discreet as it would only cause anxiety. Hence why Landa is not to have known this. He is a clever, and cunning thief. He describes so himself. In the first part, he reveals how he is different from other Nazis, to hunt Jews as one would hunt Rats. And the key being the fact that he could think and act like a Rat himself. Not so subtlety but evidently Landa ratted the Nazis out in the end. Staying true to the character's sketch. He takes a calculative and measured risk, but he didn't have the details of Basterds methods. Or else, he would have twice thought this over. :)Quote:

good exblanesan. Even good avatar. Wendy, I'm home :lol:.
IIRC, Hitler asks the Nazi soldier, "Did they do *that* to you" or something like that. Hitler (and probably a bunch of others) knew about the swastika thingi. Or am I hallucinating :DQuote:

Great avtar, btw :clap:
Thanks Feddy and Nerd.
Nerd,
The soldier removes the cap and shows it to Hilter. Hitler orders him to hold Basterds attack & other details to himself. And pretend they were ambushed. Other details to be kept discreet including removing scalps of dead Nazis and forehead swastika to ones alive. When he goes berserk about "Bear Jew" (:lol:), he is pretty concerned about Nazi's morale more than anything.
Pitt's character is an interesting one.
I love the long dialogue which pretty much sets his character.
This is explained well in wiki,Quote:
I'm the direct descendent of the mountain man Jim Bridger. That means I got a little Indian in me.
Besides, it also works in my own theory of this been Good, Bad and Ugly of spaghetti WWII. Ugly part fits well with Lt. Raine and Basterds. Tuco's rope marks (one in the end which Blondie relieves from distance) has some bearing to Raine's own. 8-)Quote:
Brad Pitt as 1st Lieutenant Aldo Raine, aka "Aldo the Apache":[10] A thickly accented, vengeance-driven 1st Special Service Force officer from Maynardville, Tennessee, who puts together a team of eight soldiers for the OSS. He claims to be a descendant of mountain man Jim Bridger and bears a rope burn on his neck, which is never mentioned in the film (the script implies that he might have survived a lynching once). One of the film's protagonists, the character has been described as "a voluble, freewheeling outlaw" similar to Jules Winnfield from Tarantino's Pulp Fiction.[11] The character's name is a tribute to the character actor Aldo Ray, who appeared as a tough soldier in many war films such as Men in War, Battle Cry, and What Did You Do in the War, Daddy?
And also,
Hitler fears of this. Hence why he doesn't want the news and other details to be spread. Landa, especially, is unaware of this.Quote:
And our battle plan will be that of an Apache resistance. We will be cruel to the Germans. And through our cruelty, they will know who we are. And they will find the evidence of our cruelty in the disemboweled, dismembered and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us
And the German won't be able to help themselves but imagine the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heels and the edge of our knives. And the German will be sickened by us. And the German will talk about us. And the German
will fear us. And when the German closes their eyes at night and they're tortured by their subconscious for the evil they have done, it will be with thoughts of us that they are tortured with.
The Thin Blue Lines (series)
Reason why I can no longer stomach US sitcoms. Every episode is a gem, not as great as the Blackadder series, but can stand on their own. To have Rowan Atkinson known only for Mr. Bean is a crime punishable by death :evil: Sad that there are only few more episodes left in the DVD collection :(
First 45 minutes of Dr. Strangelove

Thanks to one of the fellow hubbers. Saw Run Lola Run and was just stunned the way the screenplay was written
A short movie of 1.21 hrs, with 20 minutes for each story and as usual happy ending :) .. Viewer's choice is the director's choice in the climax.
Technically well made !
LM,success.... one more feather to the cap :mrgreen:Quote:

Maybe the ghost of Batman & Robin (Schumacher directed it, remember?).
The Hangover!
Total riot! Logic dont really help you. Who cares, movie wins as it makes u sit and wonder what have they gotten themselves into. I dont know the rating but safer not to watch it when kids are around.
There was a short story n play telecasted in vijay tv (long ago) featuring almost a similar circumstances and the end was tragic.
Bradley cooper reminds me of handsome n young Imran khan !
Psycho II 8-)
hey that was really good.. defienetely very underrated. last 20 mins were just awesome
Vertigo :)
felt the same when i finished watching Psycho , but i could understand the time hitchcock directed these masterpieces, should be a innovative.. :thumbsup:

Dizzy from watching a succession of "daring" foreign films made by shoestring producers, a movie critic in New York was heard to mumble, "I'm beginning to realize what a great service is being performed by all those new schools that teach you to read faster. After a short course, you can often read the foreign subtitles before the heroine gets her clothes back on"
- Sound of Laughter by Bennet Cerf
First published in 1970
:lol:
The accompanying cartoon has shows a film screen (some heads in the foreground watching in the cinema). The scene shows a close up of a couple in an intimate moment as the screenfilling subtitle reads:
But by working within the system to change the system don't you think that we are simply playing into the hands of the capitalist pigs who are exploiting the downtrodden masses whose lot, we as fellow members of the human race <text trails off in the cartoon>

I have got no idea of why I went to this movie.. Maybe a trendsetter with the entire movie taken on handycam (yes, the hero shoots for the film). They say its a horror movie but ended up being a humour one and especiallly where the heroine is dragged by her legs :lol:
Please dont watch 8-)
"I don't know if Charlie's silence here today is right or wrong; I'm not a judge or jury. But I can tell you this: he won't sell anybody out to buy his future!"
what a movie it is ! one of the best memorable drama I have ever seen. that too with the brilliant performances from Al Pacino and Chris O'Donnell.
Its a film where music also along with the script takes you to different level of enlightenment.
Salutes to Mr Thomas Newman for providing such a wonderful scores.
Psycho III
Brilliant. Actually stuck to the original concept unlike the 2nd (a brilliant standalone movie i should add).
