Now, Greg might not like Ricky Gervais, but based on his comments in this show, I think he would like this video quite a bit, especially if he watches untill the end with Ian Wright:

Another Reed fan here, the more cantankerous and FJP-appearances the better.

I am a Reed fan also. I’m happy when he “Guest Stars” on the show. I’d be content with once a month though more cantankerous would be appreciated.

This movie had an awesome use of the Battle of Algiers score.

Thx Scott H.! Maybe a “comments” and “e-mail” campaign will get me back on the show.

Reed should be on every show with you guys. Has great rapport with you all and makes the show much funnier and enjoyable. Even if he is the antithesis of your, for the most part, similar views.

Great podcast, thanks. The suicide part was weird. Also, roth and the other guy didn’t seem to notice that the cinema was on fire. They didn’t know about Dreyfuss’ plot, so didn;t they wonder what the hell was going on??

I have seen all the Jacques Tati except Traffic. Where did you find it? Playtime was originally screened on a special screen that included your peripheral vision. they showed it a few year ago in Paris with the original screen.

Dang. I totally forgot to bring up the “Terrorist/Suicide Bomber” angle on the R3 Cinecast. I think it is just a one-off by Tarantino, it is not seriously considered in the film. A more thorough consideration in a genre-medium would be the Last half of S2 and First half of S3 in Battlestar Galatica.

Still, I like that it is thrown in there, as the Nazi’s wrote the ‘counter-terrorism’ playbook (later adopted and re-written by the CIA and others) and yea, the Basterds are totally the terrorists of their day. Of course all terrorists think they have noble aims, ends justify the means and all that, and the Basterds are no different, only that IB has these guys framed as heroes and worth cheering and that the Nazi’s are worse, collectively than a few crazy guys running around scalping.

I thought it was a little odd too, but I didnt consider it any sort of dealbreaker.

One thing that I was hoping you guys would discuss about the end of IB is (slight spoiler)…

So they were essentially suicide bombers? Am I the only one that found that odd?
