I typically don't care what mainstream critics think, but I have a lot of respect for Roger Ebert. I went to his site today to check out his review of IB and to my amazement, he gave it 4 out of 4 stars!!! :|

JFI He gave 4/4 to knowing too. :D

Did anyone notice the references to the Sergio Leone's stylized directing in parts of the movie?

Leone is one of QT's favorite directors. He was in an interview recently and stated that, but I can't remember which interview it was. He's been on like every channel :p

He's very much a fan of both Leone and Morricone, which explains why most of his movies have the Leone Western vibe to it, and why he has chosen Morricone to be the first composer to score any of his films.

PosterWire got their hands on an unused poster for Inglourious Basterds, and having seen the film I can appreciate how cool this is. It?s a shame it wasn?t used.

Illustrator James Goodridge spoke to them about the process behind i I came up with 6 designs one of which became the favourite of all concerned. However at this time the movie studio decided they?d like to try building it in photoshop. A few weeks later I was asked to produce an illustrated comp. I should mention how important it is to have a creative director who believes in the illustration option and I was so fortunate that this was the case. The comp was approved with only minor changes but we heard nothing more. I never met with anyone at the studio or the filmmakers so I don?t know what took place but the decision was made not to pursue the illustration.

This was the one project this year I thought I?d never get the opportunity to work on after seeing the early teasers so I was really excited to work on it. Yes, I wish the image had been used but I?ve been working in this arena long enough to know that, until it?s printed, nothing is certain.s certain.

I'm not that impressed at all. All the rave reviews on online sites and high acclaims it received at Cannes don't seem to match up with the movie. It's a violent piece of fiction with a very dark sense of humor with interesting characters. Nothing more, nothing less.

I like it but I don't think I could watch it more than once or twice a year, if I do get it on DVD. I like Kill Bill more but still think it's a good film and would give it five stars. :)

I think that's funny considering I have seen this film about 10 times :p And can't wait to get the Blu-ray to watch it again.

Doesn't the novelty wear out after the second watch? How does one manage to watch a movie more than two?! Don't you feel like you're wasting time?

No, because some movies are so detailed and offers so much in each scene you can't absorb everything the first time.

I love the film. It is one of my absolutely favorites. The dialog, the beautiful scenery, the fantastic acting, the directing. Everything about this film screams "WATCH ME AGAIN AND AGAIN" to me.

I personally don't get why people wouldn't like this film. Of course, I'm a QT fanboy from the word go though. I love his style.

Exactly.

If there weren't such long stretches of dialogue. Think about Kill Bill, mostly action. :)

See, I love QT's dialog though. That's what made me fall in love with his movies to begin with. Pulp Fiction was great because of the dialog and this film far outdoes what PF did for me.

Kill Bill went against everything QT though. It was different than any of his other films because of that action. Could be why Death Proof failed so bad, it was his first film after KB and his newly acquired fans expected more action and what they got was classic Tarantino. This time he made, IMO, a perfect blend of the two.

I actually only watched it this weekend, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!

It was definitely a QT classic, it just had that feel throughout the movie that he always gives it. Although I don't think I could watch more than maybe twice a year saying that it is 2 and a half hours long :rofl:

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram

      By ad47uk · Posted

      I have a TV, but it is not used for normal linear TV, only streaming and it is not a Samsung and the best bit is, I don;'t and never have had a Instagram account. The only thing I have to do with Meta is Faceache and I only keep that just for the messaging part.

      But building your own.. what? You can't build anything like the Steam Machine yourself. Even trying to get close costs a good deal more. Even just the CPU cooler in their price comparison is as big as the entire Steam Machine. If you want a regular gaming PC, then by all means, build that. If you want a a small console-like PC for the living room that is good for gaming, I'm not sure what else is a better deal. In the GN review, they only mentioned a small form factor Dell, which is like twice the size and hundreds of dollars more expensive.

      Those are some popular multiplayer games. But hardly "all". Just those that don't work on Linux currently due to specific anti-cheat implementations. I think it's also fair to point out the literally thousands of games that don't work on the PS5. And it's not locked at 1080p. That's the default, which you can change.
    • Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates

      By zikalify · Posted

      Ubuntu Livepatch arrives on Arm64 to eliminate system reboots for kernel updates by Paul Hill Canonical has just announced that its Livepatch service now supports computers with Arm64 processors. For those who are not familiar, Livepatch allows users to apply important kernel updates without any service interruption or rebooting. While home users will benefit from this, it’s even more important for critical machines that absolutely should not be going offline at all. The feature is available as part of Ubuntu Core 26 for Arm64 and Ubuntu Core 20 and onwards for AMD64. According to Canonical, this will improve the security of systems that aren’t security-maintained daily or weekly, and it helps organizations work towards Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) compliance. If you are familiar with Ubuntu, you probably know that most packages can be updated without having to restart the system. There is one big exception to this, and that’s the kernel; it typically requires you to reload the system to boot into the new kernel. With Livepatch, Canonical has done something so that you don’t need to restart to begin using the new kernel. Aside from Ubuntu Core 26, users with Arm64 chips running Ubuntu 26.04 LTS can also use Livepatch. If you want to learn more about Livepatch, check out its product page. There, you can also find a button to join Ubuntu Pro (it’s free for several home devices) so that you can enable Livepatch. By linking your computer to Ubuntu Pro, you will also extend the life of your Ubuntu install from five years to ten years. If you are running Ubuntu, let us know in the comments if you have been looking forward to this feature on your ARM-based computer. If you’ve had a compatible AMD64 machine for a while and never used this feature, let us know why in the comments!
