Wow, another rave for Inglourious Basterds. And Berardinelli does not hand out four-star reviews willy-nilly (in a good year, three or four films get four stars from him). The review does go into some detail about aspects of the plot, but not much more than most reviews would.
Can I mop your brow? I am at the ready with the fearsome brow-mop.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

I correctly guessed who no. 1 would be.
The person who made the list had to be from our generation, and therefore an impressionable kid when that character was in multiplexes, no?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Ryan Reynolds, but I don't know if I like him this much. How interesting can they make that?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
So if someone tells me that he just saw District 9 and loved it, thought it was the best film of the year, and then says "and it turns out to be a comedy! I laughed my ass off!"...should I worry?
Raq - worry.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

Yah, that interests me about as much as that abandoned diver flick, Open Water I think it was called.
On the other hand, My Dinner With Andre was just a couple of dudes and a table and I loved it.

If I'm going to pay to watch an actor be alone onscreen not interacting with anyone for two hours, it better be Ben Browder, and he'd better be naked during a good portion of it.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

On the plus side, I get the impression that Ben Browder would be ok with that.

Matt,
you are SO demanding.
This is the Tom Hanks Cast Away problem, yes?

Oh, if that were the only Cast Away problem...
