why is it not cool to think heath ledger is massively overrated! as for the gay part, i was merely pointing out that broke back mountain was his only other good role the rest of his career was dross! I aint saying he was bad actor but if all jack nicholson had done was batman he wouldnt really have the acclaim he has but hey jack nicholson is a damn fine actor with resume to prove it. The joker, who cares, yes heath owned dark knight true but is it really such a good movie? sorry but i am on the no side of this. finally before you cut a large “h” into my forehead for homophobe, was you actually able to sit through the entire broke back mountain movie? I couldnt because although i dont hate gay ppl i really dont want to know what they get up to in a tent when it gets cold! Likewise i tend to dislike any movie that resorts to hetro love scenes too!

ok…hudson hawk!?!?!? lmfao dude! nice wit!

excuse me but really was heath ledger really that good did you like his gay boy oops i mean cowboy movie too or is that too gay not enough underpants over tights and gregarious costumes in that huh!? and before that what did heath do that movie about being a junkie, ok and that movie about being a medieval knight and getting the girl and killing the baddy!! Get over Heath, already!

although i have been sucked into the dark knight vs inglourious basterds debate, i am still not quite sure why?

So tarrentino isnt perfect and nor is IB, but it entertained me…

one more comment, the nazi guy not psychologically insidious enough for ya? … you do realise the nazis actually did kill 6 million jews and the joker didnt kill anyone… you do actually get that dont you?

Tarantino seems to suffer from a cult backlash. Just because people loved Pulp Fiction others feel the nÃ©ed to shit on it. Just like with comic book movies, some people seem to hate them before ever seeing anything about it. Calling it a bad film is just stupid because it isn’t one. If you say you don’t like it, ok, fine. But, saying it sucks and it’s overrated simply means you’re an idiot.

Hmmâ€¦Tom, you do realize that in your statement, you claim that you like Death Proof, Kill Bill, Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs. That leaves 2 out of 6 films that you might not have liked, Jackie Brown and Inglourious Basterds. That sounds like a pretty good ratio to me.

His name is attached to a lot more than that other than directing. I’m talking about the fanboys that jizz themselves when his name is mentioned. Even worse when they anticipate a new film of his as that “masterpiece” without seeing it.

I still say my favourite is Reservoir Dogs with Death Proof maybe a distant second.

What the hell does the IB and the DK have to do with each other? This whole thread is random and insensible. They are two completely different kinds of movies handled in completely different fashions. It makes about as much sense to compare DK with Lost in Translation. If you want to compare DK compare it to other comic book films. If you want to compare IB than compare it to “Hudson Hawk” like any rational thinking person would…

What was there to wonder about? There was nothing to this movie besides the fact that people are trying to kill Hitler. Sure you wanted to catch the joker but you didn’t know what the joker was going to do next. Or what twist was going to be made. And yes it was a comic book movie. But the best one ever. There was nothing cool in inglorious bastards. Just a bunch of talking and plotting till at the end everything blows up. What waltz did for you, is what heath did for me. The only difference is that the joker is not just a physically insane creepy physical villain. But he is psychologically terrifying. Waltz there wasn’t much to it then just trying to come off superior and intimidating.

I’d say it was more glorious than inglourious!

I’d put Waltz’s performance up against Ledger’s. Ledger was great, no doubt, put everytime Waltz came on the screen I was on the edge of my seat. He owns this movie.

I also found DK much more predictable than IB, aside from the Two-Face bit, you kind of know where things are going in DK. I mean it’s still a comic book movie and it feels like one, while IB had a lot more interesting elements to it and things I was still discussing and trying to figure out after the movie ended. That did not really happen for me with DK aside from wondering what villains were going to be in the next sequel.

the bastards was an over all predictable movie albeit great script. the dark knight you had no idea what was going to happen. Not to mention perhaps one of the greatest performances ever to grace the screen (heath ledgers portrail of the joker). i will admit that first scene was awesome but after that what’s memorable about this movie? what will make it last? what will make this movie resognate for years to come? the only thing said about this movie will be in regards to QT next film and is it better or worse then inglorious bastards?

i’m sorry but this movie was all inglorious and no bastards.
