Damn, we're on the same wavelength today, Bass. What, you like Twilight too? *head about to explode* WTF is going on here!? Who are you people and what did you do with my HPotD brethren?!

What, you like Twilight too? *head about to explode*

[LouCipherr]

Hey man, I'm dumb as a brick - if I couldn't understand and comprehend what you typed, what do you think a graphic like that is going to do to my brain? It's cool Aces, I got it. You and bass secretly love Twilight. It's ok. We understand, and we promise we won't tell anyone else about your penchant for sparkly, doe-eyed, teenage vampires in love.

Now Lou, we must not judge. Just because....wait!, What tha'! *GEORGE LUCAS!!!* *WHATTA YOU DOIN' HERE!!! *I..... *NO!!!! BAD GEORGE LUCAS!!! BAD!!!*

Watched it last night and really enjoyed it. However, I thought Tarantino's cameo was uncharacteristically quite poor!

However, I thought Tarantino's cameo was uncharacteristically quite poor! His one-off stuff usually is. He's a pretty wooden guy. Best role I've seen him in, which he was great for, was Jimmie in Pulp Fiction and that was because his 'woodeness' helped with the deadpan delivery.

[Neil]

Jimmie in Pulp Fiction When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? Classic line! He was good in "From Dusk Till Dawn!"

When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of my house that said "Dead Nigger Storage"? "You know why you didn't see that sign? Because storing dead niggers ain't my fu*king business, that's why!" Loved his part in Pulp Fiction, but yeah, his "cameos" (if we wanna call 'em that) in Django really weren't anything to write home about.

Still to see Django Unchained - but want to. I re-watched Death Proof (in the Grindhouse cut) and Inglourious Basterds this week though. He's alright in Death Proof as he doesn't have much to do in the bit of the movie he's in, he's really only got one proper scene (the Chartreuse bit). Fine with him in Pulp Fiction - fine with him in Reservoir Dogs - also very much fine with him in From Dusk Till Dawn (good point, Neil) ... perhaps not great performances as he's not a professional actor, but I've never been bothered by his cameos/bit parts as some folks out there have been. Not seen his cameo in Django yet, mind you ... so we'll see how I feel about that in due course. Back to IB - I still think 15 minutes could have been trimmed out of it at the script state, and perhaps with some clever editing even at the edit suite stage, but it's a damned good movie that. I haven't watched it since 2009, and this was my third viewing - a damn good flick. A bit too talky in places, yes, but damn good and it feels appropriately epic. I will concede that, yes, a lot of dialogue in Death Proof ultimately doesn't 'go anywhere', but on the other hand it's what I consider to be a "hang out" movie - I hang out with these characters and shoot the shit - kind of like with Dazed & Confused. I'm not comparing them as movies etc, so don't get your panties in a bunch, but just in the general vibe of hanging out with the characters like a fly on the wall. DP is a relaxed sort of flick - until the petrol starts pumping - and I've said it before and I'll say it again. Kurt Russell kicks flippin' arse as Stuntman Mike. Mysterious, then charming, then downright creepy, then flat-out dangerous, then sort of a charming rogue, then a wailing pussy who gets what he's owed - a crackin' performance.

[MinionZombie]

MZ - you're a closet masochist, aren't you? Admit it. It's ok, you're among friends... My enjoyment of Death Proof is entirely unconnected from my time with Mistress Olga and her dungeon of sauciness ... ... wait! I've said too much... Hell yeah Top banana.
