Well, today was the first of two snow days this week. (Assuming weather.com isn't totally fuaking with my mind)
So I popped the old flash drive into my PS3 and had myself a movie marathon.
I often find that in order to be captivating, a film these days needs to be stressfully suspenseful or have a complicated story line. This film had neither, and yet I found myself hoping it wouldn't end while at the same time, anxiously awaiting its conclusion. Definitely give it a watch sometime!
Then I made myself some hot chocolate and pancakes!
Next, (with the hot chocolate and pancakes in hand) I re watched Inglorious Basterds. I was kind of worried because I didn't really love Grindhouse or Death Proof; not saying they weren't good! I guess they just weren't my type of movie. Yet throughout watching Tarentino's films over the years, I have come to discover his magic in setting up a scene. The Film is set in an alternate universe of Tarentino's creation; his version effectively rewritting history. This bothered people, but not me. I sat down to watch this Tarentino movie to be entertained; not for a history lesson!
The Film opens to a serene scene set in Nazi occupied France. A simple farmer and his three daughters are hiding a neighboring Jewish family from the "The Jew Hunter". But, I'll stop there. Don't want to type a 3 page review, haha. Just wanted to get those people who didn't see the movie intrigued!
Oh and I know 2 isn't really a marathon; but I didn't get to my next movie: Downfall.
Thanks for reading!
Saw "Snow Day" in my dashboard and had to comment haha. Here at UNL, no matter what the weather it seems, we still have school.
ReplyDeleteAnd I just wanted to say that I too enjoyed Inglorious Basterds and that the first time I saw it, my parents were in the room with me and they didn't find it nearly as funny as I did haha
I saw Inglorious Basterds in theaters three times because I enjoyed it so much. Tarantino's films seem to have the oddest pacing but they never fail to keep you enthralled through great atmosphere and compelling characters.
ReplyDeleteBig Fish is always a great choice. Haven't seen Inglorious Bastards yet but I need to check it out some time.
ReplyDeletefollowing and supporting!
is it weird that I havent seen Big Fish?
ReplyDeleteFollowed.
The image you put up for Big Fish looks ~fabulous~, might try to see if I can get my hands on it.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't seen Inglorious Basterds yet but Big Fish is always fun. I love Steve Buscemi as Norther Winslow. "Roses are red. Violets are blue. I love Spectre..." He's the man.
ReplyDeleteyou watched some good movies on your day off haha
ReplyDeleteI love 'em both, great choices.
ReplyDeleteHave fun watching downfall dude. Its a great movie
ReplyDeleteIs Inglorious Bastards and alternate timeline? I'm sold, that's the way they should have promoted that film. I love time travels and alternate universes.
ReplyDeleteIt's one of the better alternate timeline stories out there.
ReplyDeleteInglorious Basters = <3.
ReplyDeleteGo check out Hostel.
Big Fish is a great movie. Good for a rainy day when your maybe a little bit hungover. I find it kind of reminds me of being a kid.
ReplyDeleteI saw inglorious basterds at the movies but I wasn't greatly impressed...I think that might be because I forgot my glasses and couldnt read the subtitles for any of the german bits so I started to get a bit bored...maybe I should give it another go.
i wish it would snow here-mixtapes
ReplyDeleteYAY SNOW DAY!
