I am excited for this movie anyway, but a lot of movie sites are saying the ads for this are the biggest bait and switch in movie history. The movie is supposedly a super talky pic with only a little action and Brad pit in a small part.
The ads are filled with Pitt and guys firing machine guns.
This is also the movie that will decide The Weinstein Co.'s(Miramax) fate. They have to promote it this way because they are hurting for money. They need a big opening weekend. Counting on word of mouth, like in the Pulp Fiction case is too big a risk.

I've been turning the channel for all previews to this. I did it for the Hangover and enjoyed it a million times more than everyone else. On the downside, I was the guy laughing super hard at Mike Tyson doing the Phil Collins drums.
Quentin is not steering us wrong. The studio is hurting. This is prob. the last stand for the fatty brothers if they don't get a hit here.

Buddy of mine went to Cannes and saw it. He said it's his favorite Tarantino since Pulp Fiction. Then again, my friend has a penchant for gore and nazi killing, not to mention a strange obsession with Eli Roth. So take that for what it's worth.

How do you go to Cannes? Can I go? Is it expensive? I can fake hella credentials and shit if necessary.
edit: i'm the only one out of my core group of friends that think it looks meh.

My friend went with an internship program where he had to pay like 3k up front, plus plane ticket. He had a good time, but would not do the program again. Once you get in, you can see whatever films you want. The big ones are harder to get into. There were two screenings of Inglorious Bastards, he got into the 2nd one that Tarantino wasn't at. Basically for the big movies, you get in line and however many seats are left after all the stars/critics/filmmakers are in, they fill it up. However, he got fucked out of seeing Up! as Disney didn't want it to look like they couldn't fill up a theater.
If you want to go and see all of the movies, from my understanding the easiest way to do it is to make a short film and submit it. Sounds hard, but my friend said there were hundreds of horrible, $50 budget, 3 minute shorts there. They accept a lot of them and only have one screening each usually. And I hear renting a villa with a group of people is the best way to go about staying. I've been wanting to go for awhile, might make the trip sometime in the next couple of years. My friend saw 19 feature-length movies while he was there and got drunk on $3/bottle french wine every night. And his time was partially limited because he was in the internship program. Would love to just go out there and degen it up for a couple weeks.
Oh, and regarding the expense, my friend lived semi-cheaply while he was there and dropped $1500 (excluding program/rooming cost and plane ticket), if that helps. I'd guess you'd want between 3.5-5k to do it right, factoring in the villa, plane ticket, food, booze, and $6 cans of coke.
So these so called swear words or curse words that are so taboo. I dont get it. So because this word describes something to the foulest it cannot be topped, it should never be used. So these words...
So I'm blissfully done with the poker on my trip - good god am I sick of cards. At this very moment, I'm sitting in a bar in downtown Champaign, Illinois, drinking:
