Inglorious Basterds Review [SPOILERS] - and hair update!


I'll post the hair update first, so that people don't have to skim through my spoilers for that. As of not washing day 2, my hair feels a little greasy, but not as bad as I though it would be. I didn't get the flyaways that I usually get in my face at the gym, and my body feels cleaner after showering than it does when I use shampoo and conditioner. Weird, right?

So yesterday I went to go see Inglorious Basterds with my friend Jenny, who is back in town (hooray!). The movie was FREAKING AWESOME for a lot of reasons, but mostly because it was real interesting and made me feel real uncomfortable? I'm going to say up front that I'm kind of a die-hard Quentin Tarantino fan, so I would've loved this movie unless he seriously effed it up.

Reasons why this movie was awesome:
1. A guy being beaten to death with a baseball bat. This was my favorite moment in the movie, and the only way it could've been cooler is if he'd been beaten to death with his own arm, Mortal Kombat style.
2. A giant smoke-projected head laughing as people burn to death
3. Brad Pitt. He's so attractive it's difficult to remember he really acts sometimes, but I've been watching "Interview with the Vampire" in pieces in addition to this movie and he's actually a little talented or something!
4. The actor who played the Jew Hunter guy. PERFECT.
5. All the foreign languages in the movie! Luckily they were mostly speaking singing languages so I understood some of it!

Ways this movie could've been better:
1. Mike Myers. Seriously, why was he there? He added nothing and he didn't fit at all.
2. Actually that whole british guy scene in general. What the heck was going on there? Was Tarantino on vacation for that part?
3. That woman who played Helen of Troy playing the movie star. What a bitch.
4. EVERYONE dying. Who do you think you are, Shakespeare? That's like when Kanye West called himself Jesus.

Ways this movie made me SERIOUSLY uncomfortable:
1. The scalping noise. That noise will live in my brain forever, and I'm pretty sure it was accurate and have no desire to find out how they found out what scalping sounds like.
2. All the noises, really. The cutting into the forehead noise was a grapefruit I think.
3. The scene with Shoshanah in the restaurant with the Jew Hunter. I'VE NEVER FELT SO SQUIRMY IN MY LIFE.
4. Jews vs. Nazis where everyone looks like the bad guy, only the Nazis are way worse.

This is one of those movies that I think I won't be able to watch again for a really long time, if ever. I'm not even sure 3 lists makes a review. I LOVED IT THOUGH
