trixtahAlbeit half an hour later than planned, which was already late enough. I went to see Inglourious Basterds while I was at a loose end in Goulburn. What an odd movie, and it didn't help that it's quite long, and I had to run out before it finished. Ah, 150 minute running time, and I thought it'd be over in 2 hours. Even if the train hadn't arrived 25 minutes late, I wouldn't have been able to see all of it (and it looks like the ending is crap, anyway). Still, Mélanie Laurent, the female lead, is very nice to look at, plays a kick-arse role, and doesn't end up anywhere near Brad Pitt. And it passed the time.
Certainly not one of Tarantino's best, although chunks of acting and dialogue were excellent. It's the premise and plotting that were kind of bizarre, and not in a good way, and stupid mucking around with facts (leaving aside the ending, which I'm not going to spoil, but, Jewish dairy farmers in France pre-WWII?). 6/10, mainly for the first scene, which was excellent, Mélanie Laurent and Christoph Waltz.
