To my surprise many people in the audience seemed to love it. The laughed throughout and even applauded at the end. IMO Tarantino is hugely talented, but either he lacks taste or a moral compass. There's great acting by Christoph Waltz and Milanie Laurent is incredibly beautiful (I think she acts well too, but I can't trust myself there), but there are few other reasons to watch this movie. - -- Sebastian Hagedorn Am alten Stellwerk 22, 50733 Kvln, Germany http://www.uni-koeln.de/~a0620/ "Being just contaminates the void" - Robyn Hitchcock ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 8 Sep 2009 20:42:47 -0400 From: lep Subject: Re: topher, yay!
