I love Quentin Tarantinos films. This one have good story and very good actors.
Ahem... Thanks for announcing that after all tickets are sold... ;)
First off, I find the original kind of myeh. Second, I am not a huge fan of Tarantino's. Third, surprisingly to me, I quite enjoyed the BASTERDS script (typos and all!)
Being the narcissistic buttface I am, I'm most curious as to what my own reaction is going to be when I view this film. :)
I'd be there if I was in the area, fo' sho'.
