help me pick a movie for this afternoon

[chaz]

I'm going to see either inglorious basterds or district 9.  Anyone who's seen both, can you rec one over the other?

[thatguy]

tough choice.  i think those are the two best movies i've seen so far this summer.  i highly recommend them both.

what are you looking for?  district 9 has some action, but it actually a lot smarter than the previews make it look.  it's definitely not what i would consider your standard summer popcorn movie.  IG has what you would expect from tarantino: great dialogue and story, plus violence.  it had the crowd cheering by the end.

why not do a double feature?

Seen Inglorious Basterds, it's entertaining. It drags, at points, a lot less than Kill Bill Vol. 2 and he wraps you back up in it when he needs to. It's entertaining, I wouldn't say it's his best. I've heard nothing but positive things for District 9.

Go see something that requires an IQ above 72: The Cove or Adam.

Both are worth seeing. I really liked District 9, but I loved Inglourious Basterds, possibly the best movie of 2009. But not everyone likes Tarantino, so YMMV.

If you're in the mood for a smart SF/action movie, see District 9.

Inglourious Basterds has very little action. It's very talky with occasional and brief violence. If you love well-written, well-acted dialogue, see Inglourious Basterds.

i notice a michal jackson man in the mirror with your posts as of late . . . are you going for the  ______ forumer of the year or something?

[chaz]

Went to see IG.  It dragged just a bit in the middle, but overall was quite good and really funny.

uh, the cove spoon feeds you throughout the entire film.

inglorious basterds was fantastic... great jewish porn, i saw a lot of semitic-looking brethren walking out of the theater with smiles

and i always wondered what scalping actually entailed

District 9 was real good. Inglorious Bastards is peaking my interest now. Hearing alot about that movie.....
