With the exception of Death Proof, I've seen EVERY Quentin Tarantino movie in the theater.  In 1992, my old LA gf, the last white girl I ever dated, took me to see Reservoir Dogs.  My LA pal and I saw Pulp Fiction in 1994 in Century City,  In 1998 while home for vacation from the ROK I saw Jackie Brown with my brother and ex-wife (they snuck in beers, and as is commonly the case when beers are snuck into a movie house, they left early to smoke cigs and drink more.  I abstained and enjoyed).  The first Kill Bill I saw in LA, again on vacation, this time with my 11 year old nephew, their son -- its release coincideded with another vacation in LA from the ROK.  The second Kill Bill I saw in Fukuoka, Japan. 

And Inglorious Basterds I just saw last night in Seoul at Technomart.  I got out the East Seoul bus terminal and went straight up to see what was playing.  I haven't been in a 'city' with a real cinema for 5 months.  What luck.  I'm back in the ROK for a few days before continuing my journey which will lead me back to LA, where I shall reside permanently, until something better comes along.

I first heard of this movie, Inglorious Basterds, when Showbiz Tharp posted the trailer on his blogsite many months ago.  I'd known that QT had been working on a WW II film.  I'd heard in an interview that he started writing it before the Kill Bill series but I had no idea that it was coming out, nor that it starred Brad Pitt as Lieutenant Aldo Raines.

A lot of people are going to bash this movie.  Perhaps they already have.  I've heard lots of negativtiy about it, and all's I can say to these people is -- Try and make a better movie!

I loved it.  I could go into why but I won't.  The man has never made a bad movie.  And he never will.  And me, I'm going to have endure another day of Seoul.  Think I'll go see it again.
