I hate the band Eyebrows. Yet I dont analyze all their songs, compare them to each other, find typical trademarks in their songs, check out unreleased meterial from before they became famous, read interviews with the band to learn what Noel did before he formed the band, and who his musical inspirations are, and then do research on the inspirations, etc etc...
Nah man, my time is precious. If I dont like something, I stay away from it.
There's always those times when you get sucked in unwillingly, out of human curiousity.

infestation .
whacky comedy "horror" . fun watch . some folks are under the impression it was a scifi original , it was NOT . kinda goofy , but had some pretty top notch shock scenes . dont miss it , i was under the impression it was really bad , (trailer) not the case . ray wise was exceptionally funny , had some great genuine LOL lines (rare for me) .

I didn't know Bowie performed during WWII. This is what all those Spielberg circle-jerk movies don't show.

What about "Let's Dance" over the D-Day scene in Saving Private Ryan?

As long as it isn't "Heroes" being used in the wrong context again. I'm looking at you, 9/11.

Right, I forgot... Tarantino is too smug and douchebaggy to be bothered with little things like historical accuracy.

Weird timing, saw this over the weekend on DVD at my friends in Dublin.
Great dialogue, interesting hearing Tarantino's distracted anecdotal style said in foreign tongue, but the chat/ultraviolence/exposition repeat formula dulled any effect aimed for. A 3 out of 5, a 6 out of 10 for me.
"ok"
