How unexpected your guys' responses! I hope no one went on my recommendation and then was disappointed. Perhaps this film is for certain type of film fans. Like I said in a previous post, if you're looking for a bang-bang blown 'em up-every-second-of-the-movie-movie, then go see something like GIJOE. Don't expect to see silly jokes about "Pussy Wagons" & "Royales with Cheese." This is for people who appreciate the art of well-delivered suspense and dramatic flare (a dying art in a world of the short-attention span). Please don't take this thread wrong and assume I'm encouraging anybody and everybody. I'm blown away that people can find this dialogue boring. This film's dialogue wasn't even the random, pointless expletive-filled banter that Tarantino includes in his film to make the kiddies laugh. The Basterd's dialogue was all geared toward delivering suspense while completely fabricating and revising history! What studios have the balls to do that? I could understand someboy being bored in a true story movie - where you knew how the film would end. I was enthralled by this dialogue because NO ONE knew where the dialogue led to and subsequently how this story would end.I'm really surprised that people found anything in this movie boring.Then again, I'm always surprised on this board when people talk about how much they love Freddy Vs. Jason, Hostel, My Bloody Valentine, and 90% of the other crap that Hollywood regurgitates for 12-16 year old crowd.
