but to answer that in scotties absense:
A damn good job. Amazing acting by alot of the less known actors, Christoph Waltz in particular. A couple of cameos here and there in various forms, for anyone alert enough to catch them.
A friend called it a WW2-spaghetti-western, and it kind of fits if you think of it. Everyone gets their roles beautifully done, and the result is awesome.
Over the top, consistent and funny throughout all two and a half hours of the movie, I don't really want to add anything else in fear of ruining it for the people that haven't seen it. Not to put any great expectations on people but goddammit just go see it. More "historical fiction" movies need to be made, if they can be pulled off like this one was.

sometimes I don't like his screenwriting..his direction is always good, but in this one his writing really stands out...and if that guy does not win an oscar I will be really pissed off..you know who I am talking about if you have seen it...and I never thought I would say this ..Brad Pitt was great in this movie..about halfway in I thought he kinda sucked but it all came together at the very, very end

As you command.
I like it. I agree with the comment you made earlier insomuch as I don't always like his screenwriting. I think some of it is irreverent bullshit, and he's just furthering some elite Geek agenda (Kevin Smith is guilty of this too), but he has a gift for narrative, and he's definitely an excellent director.
I think the casting was excellent (Pitt is genuinely a great actor), and it's a real attempt by Tarantino to avoid falling into a rut. It's not especially orginal, but then again Tarantino's real talent was always in bringing together his myriad of influences into a pretty entertaining motion picture.
It reminded me quite a bit of Verhoeven's Black Book (which I also liked) but it's also incredibly funny, even when what's happening is pretty bleak. In that respect it reminded me of True Romance, which to my mind is the best movie Tarantino has ever been involved in.
In short, it's good, and I like it.
If you have any free time (which you seem to, Mr ratemypuke.com) and you haven't seen it yet, I recommend the hell out of The Hurt Locker. I finally got round to seeing it and it's brilliant. Really brilliant.

I dunno, I guess some of the stuff written might have been better without, but some of it was at the same time also recognizable for Tarantino himself, sort of like in Drag Me to Hell, where a few things out of place stuck in there is stuck in and it's reminiscent of Raimi's earlier stuff. I didn't really mind it, and the few parts that kind of slowed down and weren't as good usually got outshined by the great ones following or preceding them. Altogether I think it worked very well.

Very much want to see that. Heard it's the best film made about the Middle East conflict(s) of late. I liked In The Valley of Elah a fair bit but it wasn't so much about the war itself.
did you think the last line in the film was an arrogant thing for a director to script for his actor? I thought it was pretentious, yet brilliantly cheesy/funny/and maybe slightly accurate...

Hubris doesn't really bother me too much, if it's justified. It's probably a pretty fair statement, plus it's bizarrely subtle, despite being the very last line.

Fuc what a response - is this an effective way to share info or search. Tarantino is the shit's he lost the plot years ago, nothing has deeper meaning to any of his filmz now.

I can never hate Brad Pitt. Even when he blows (which he does more often than I like to admit) he's still alright by me. Like, uh, Ben Affleck, or.. Matthew McConaughey.
