Trying To Defend Inglourious Basterds Is Ridoucuolouus • Just to follow up on yesterday's post about the Inglourious Basterds trailer, which obviously is just a trailer and therefore not evidence enough for anything like a review of the film but is certainly, despite many Tarantino-apologists' claims, sufficient for a declaration of whether or not a film looks good (or, as in the case of this film, like one of the worst movies ever made). Have you guys actually looked at the IMDB page for this thing? Mike Myers as General Ed Fenech? Samuel L. Jackson as the narrator? WE WILL TAKE OUR APOLOGY IN WRITING, THANK YOU.

Not the correct forum, but I'd like to make a pitch for "Death Proof" as WMOAT candidate. Here it goes: It's directed by Quentin Tarantino and it sucks. Also, any Robert Rodriguez movie ever ("Sin City" or even better, "Once Upon A Time In Mexico") should be a prime candidate.
Score = -7
I disagree. For the Carla Gugino nudity alone, Sin City should be in the AFI 100. This same principle also applies to Desperado and the Hayek nudity.
Score = 4
i second the nomination of death proof for worst movie of all time. there will probably be a lot of fat dudes whining and writing long winded boring explanations about why its great... and i can not read them, but think to myself, "hah, that guy is lame. its funny that this matters to him.... haha."
Score = -9
i did look on the imdb page and there's a character in the film named "Pvt. Butz." how long has Tarantino been working on this "epic" script? jeez...
Score = 1
A NARRATOR?!? Well now I've seen EVERYTHING!
Score = 13
this is definitely the post of the month.
Score = 0
Note to self: Increase commenting / traffic by innocently ripping a Tarantino trailer
Score = -4
Samuel L. Jackson as the narrator still makes it better than every film ever made (excluding the ones featuring Samuel L. Jackson acting, of course. The Incredibles falls somewhere in between. Farce of the Penguins doesn't exist).
Score = 0
Why don't you just marry Samuel L. Jackson?
Score = 6
Cloris Leachman!
Score = 6
hahaha
you can not say any movie, let alone one by qt is gonna be bad by trailer alone. the only thing that makes me think that movie is gonna be bad is the music. other than that, who knows. and as long as mike myers isnt telling jokes im cool with it, he'll probably die pretty quickly
Score = -5
There will be no apologies until Gabe apologizes for his LAME comedy videos! Truly they are The Worst Internet Videos of All Time.
Score = -6
Samuel Jackson vs Morgan Freeman in a narrating contest.
GO
Score = 4
Alex Bolden as Military Attaché?!? ARE THEY SERIOUS?!?
Score = 8
wubdub, you are becoming my favorite.
Score = 2
Hey, with a title with a gratuitous mis-spelling in the title alone, plus "I WANT MY SCALPS", it's going to be utterly over-the-top ridiculous.
It's like reviewing Snakes on a Plane on its dramatic performances and completely missing the part where an assassin tries to kill a witness by releasing 300 deadly snakes on an airplane. You're missing the point.
(And I'm no Tarantino fanboy- I skipped the second half of Grindhouse because I had no interest in Death Proof, especially after the awesome that was Planet Terror.)
Score = 2
I really don't understand why there's so much hate for this trailer. I mean, I can see people being annoyed by the now-stale "This stuff is in the movie soley because this stuff is fucking cool to thirteen year olds" Tarantinoisms, but at the same time, that shit usually fills up about 95% of Tarantino movies, so if you weren't turned off after Kill Bill, what's really changed?
Score = 2
