Inglourious Basterds (among other rants)One thing I enjoy a lot is going to the theater to watch a film. The smell of popcorn, the Sour Patch Kids, and the annoying workers there. I just got home from the midnight premiere of Inglourious Basterds (yes that is how it's spelled). Instead of coming out and telling you how I felt about the movie, I need to say a few things about what happened before the movie.

First off, the theater I went to would ID everyone. Not just the marginal looking viewers. You walk up with a cane, wrinkly skin, and a Vietnam veteran hat on, you better make sure you have your ID with you. It was absolutely ridiculous. One person who came with me does not have an ID. They don't drive, and don't travel, and have never needed to get one. They are 18 years old, and look plenty old enough to watch an R rated film. The person at the front counter would not let them in. After that fiasco, they got a ride home and a few of us proceeded to the theater. At the door is a person checking tickets...understandable. He then asks for our ID's. Everyone had their ID checked twice. I just bought the ticket, why the fuck do I have to show the ID again. I voiced my anger to him and he said it was the policy, then buried his face in his chest in shame.

Next, the previews come on. I saw the same Friday's BYOB(uddy) ad three times. That just made me not want to go there. Then comes the actual previews and to make the night even shittier, it is for Halloween 2 - Rob Zombie Style. Can people please leave classic horror films alone. The unaware populous today will only watch these newer movies and think they are original. I had the girl next to me say, "I didn't realize Michael Myers had a sister."

WHAT? That is the whole point of the movie, and they failed to understand that. Then there is the Friday the 13th remakes that are just plain garbage. It's like people say, "That movie was so awesome back then, lets try to redo it for now. It totally wont suck!" Shitty movies piss me off, but shitty remakes of great movies just bother me to no end. It's like a modern artist trying to repaint the Mona Lisa. It can't be done.

Then comes the movie, and it was amazing. It had an old west type of feeling, only placed in Nazi-controlled France. The acting was great, and Quentin Tarantino did an outstanding job creating this story. Some people wont like it cause the viewer doesn't feel like part of the movie. It plays out more like a book with chapters breaking apart sections of the plot. I found that to be the part that made the movie work so well. It has humor in it that takes place in the situations, rather than trying to pound comedy into the viewers face like most movies. I highly recommend watching this movie.
