[...] weeks, we’ve gone from hearing that Inglourious Basterds would be 40 minutes shorter (a rumor Harvey Weinstein forcefully dismissed saying “There’s no fu**ing way“) to the possibility of a whole new Inglourious [...]

“After Death Proof I don’t know if I can handle more Tarrentino dialog.”

I have said it MANY times before but I’ll say it once again – Death Proof was awesome. Oh shiza, is Vic around?

After Death Proof I don’t know if I can handle more Tarrentino dialog.

And everytime I see the “Hurt Locker” trailer I have less interest in seeing it.

I was referring to Tarantino’s previous films, his other films like Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs (and even Kill Bill) have done fairly well at the Box Office and have garnered mostly decent reviews. Death Proof/Planet Terror was a mistake and a glitch in his otherwise decent track record.

And it’s Tarantino, I’d expect a lot of dialogue, that’s why I go see his films. If I wanted action, I’d watch something like The Hurt Locker.

Golden Child? Weinstein lost millions on the Death Proof/Planet Terror film.

I’ve read that this film has more dialog then action. Be warned.

Yeah, it’s a fact that the majority of audiences out there prefer shorter movies to exceedingly long ones (and I just know that someone out there is going to start naming films like the Lord of the Rings Trilogy or Titanic as films with long runtimes that did well, but for every one you name I can name two more that did badly at the box office and a dozen more shorter films that did very well).

That’s not really an indication of the quality of the film, just that it’s more appealing.

Nice to see Weinstein sticking to his guns on this one and allowing for a longer cut of Bastards, Tarentino has proven to be their Golden Child so it’s not surprising that they’re trying to help him instead of hinder him.

@Larry Rocha,

I didn’t say it would BETTER, I said it would do better at the box office is all.

How can you know a shorter movie will be better if you haven’t ecven seen it?

Reorganisaing = change the chronology?
Anyway, Quentin’s been making his movies longer and longer every time. Like 100 minutes for Dogs, over 2 hours for Pulp, almost 3 hours for Jackie, and Kill Bill had to be cut in two separate films. Nevermind Death Proof, that was an hommage and therefor under 2 hours again. I don’t mind a long Tarantino movie, as long it’s Pulp or Jackie, not Kill Bill quality.
I wasn’t that excited after seeing Brad Pitt play a tough WWII captain/general or whatever, but still looking forward to the Bastards. 2, 3, 3,5 hours, the more the better.

“Even if The Wrap report may not have sounded like 100% the truth, the fact that the Weinstein’s are currently in some financial deep waters gave it a lot of believability.”

So guilty until ONLY refuted by the target, right? The point is there are a lot of sh*t lies in the bloggersphere (and “News” channels). Maybe Harvey Weinstein “earned” the infamous moniker “Harvey Sissorhands,” but let’s just take one movie at a time, shall we. Fortunately, there are a few SANE information gatherers (readers) out there, somewhere
