1. Tarantino.
2. BJ Novak.
3. Samm Levine.
Just seeing Ryan and Neil play big boys is enough for me.

I might reconsider my first statement after I read that August Diehl and Daniel Brühl are also in the movie.

It really irritates me that Tarantino, a "master" of stylized violence, would choose a topic like WWII (an era with so much actual bloodshed and suffering) as the backdrop to his fantasy violence. Completely disregarding the ACTUAL atrocities of the time in favor of some equally gory fantasy version seems so arrogant and disrespectful to me.

However, I agree. He is not a basic flavor. For some reason, I find I enjoy his films more often than not.

Anyway, I always feel like I shouldn't like Tarantino becausee of his violence. As if I'm acting barbaric. I don't play GTA. I hate straight-torture movies like Hostel and Saw... But Tarantino just has something extra that puts his violence into an artistic expression that I understand. He puts the ballet into violence, as it were.

I think my Tarantino Line, much like the Maginot Line, is that I find his musings to be about film rather than about actual violence. He glorifies fiction and very obviously fiction. It is a fine distinction but one I find that Tarantino is capable of pulling off. Which is a testament to his talent. As a watcher of war movies that glorify the Allies, I'm really interested in how this one is going to work.

I also loved Death Proof. I liked that one a lot.

Note: this right also extends to Samuel L. Jackson.
