I just heard Quentin Tarintino on Charlie Rose say that he wants to make a movie on the life of abolitionist John Brown.

It was entertaining but every time Eli Roth opened his mouth I wanted to kick him to death. What was that accent supposed to be? I believe it was supposed to be a Boston accent, since he referenced Ted Williams as he beat the hell out of the Nazi Sergeant with a baseball bat. Though it was worse than Kevin Costner's Boston accent in Thirteen Days, Joe Pesci's in With Honors and Robin Williams' in Good Will Hunting combined.Yeah, I'm not basebally enough to know who Ted Williams is but I now recall him making a referance to Fenway which I'm just basebally enough to know. Awful, just awful. Eli Roth must be a blast to do coke with for him to keep getting handouts from Tarantino.

It's funny to me that we're all bitching about a film that we all went to see. Tarantino sucks.

I was expecting to hate it, but I actually liked it quite a bit. Eli Roth is just the worst, though. The Worst.
I'm also not a huge Brad Pitt fan, Still, enjoyed it.
I'm with the person on the AV Club podcast who said he likes Brad Pitt the character actor but not Brad Pitt the movie star.
With the exception of Eli Roth and the fact that there really was no reason for the film to be segmented or narrated except that he wanted to remind the audience that they're watching a Tarantino flick I was entertained.
