I heard the storyline described in a radio review at the weekend and immediately thought of that succession of Roger Moore films from the 70s where, when he wasn't James Bond, he was a "real" army soldier shooting hundreds of bad men in every film usually with the same cast of goodies and baddies in each film - about as believeable as Alan Carr playing the lead role in a Steven Segal film.

Tarantino & Guy Ritchie are two of the most over-rated film producers/directors of all time, both are lucky to have hit on a cheap and popular format early in their career and now know nothing else.

Pulp celluloid for young boys who don't want to think too hard.

Don't want to or can't?

Probably both.

By the way, I've lost those dvd's you lent me two years ago, got any more ?

Well, not so much lost, its just that I've had them for so long that I can't remember which ones are yours and which are mine now.

I liked Pulp Fiction a lot and most of Tarantino other stuff is OK, not too fussed about Ritchie's stuff but it's watchable.

To say they are lucky and one trick ponies sounds a bit bitter to me, how many genres of music did Bob Dylan/The Stones/The Beatles cover?, anyone can spot a Santana song from the first 3 chords but it doesn't mean they are not the very best at what they do.

For the record here is someone who agrees with You & G1 and just about the only critic that doesn't think the sun shines out of Tarantinos @rse.

I'm not a massive Tarantino fan really, Pulp Fiction is the most over rated piece of garbage in cinema history IMO.

However I thought IB was fantastic, and certainly the best film this year. That being said, I thought Brad Pitt was awful in it on reflection. His part was over acted. The Jew Hunter steals the show in this one.

About 15 on the White Album alone.

Ok, so the scousers were not the best example.

So the fact that the story opens with nazis shooting a Jewish family, and then moves onto one of the family members trying to get revenge on the said soldier is not serious??

The dark humour adds to the storyline aswel I think.

The holocaust is serious. Very serious.

Do you think this film portrays the subject matter seriously?

I dont think the film really touches the holocaust. It is more about a jew living under a hidden identity in occupied France.

And do you think it treats that subject matter seriously?

You're forgetting this is a Tarantino film we're on about Gareth, he doesn't do serious.

I know. I think Emma thought she was watching "Schindler's list 2 - revenge of the Jews".
