Well, I have to say,regardless of drugs, that I like most of Tarantino's films, but IB was awful.  He should avoid historical movies.

I actually don't care much about "rivets". Although I think they got this aspect about 99% right. I strongly dislike "Fury" for other reasons. Not the visuals either.

As to "Inglourious Basterds" - This was a farcical revenge fantasy clad in a tragedy. Actually two movies in one. very much like "Kill Bill" or "Django Unchained". In fact a fresh approach to movie storytelling.  And had a better message than the tank movie. It played feelings better. But it wasn't necessarily "made" better.

Well, the worst of these type of films, that I never finished watching, was Inglorious Bastards.  After they murdered the sergeant, I started rooting for the Germans, then it got so awful that I had to turn it off.......

I felt exactly the same way. Very poor movie. Though, the opening scene was really quite good and I did not mind the charades scene (I was a fan of Pulp fiction and Reservoir Dogs...) the rest was total unwatchable rubbish.

I have to chime in and say I haven't big much of a fan of anything Tarantino's done since Pulp Fiction. I've seen all of them out of a sense of hopefulness (though I only watched about a third or half or so of Basterds, in bits here and there), but they've actually been getting worse and worse for me over time. Django was downright excruciating to watch and not in a "This is supposed to be uncomfortable, because that's the director's intention" sort of way. I probably won't bother at all with the next one.

I actually sort of suspect that Tarantino has been secretly making personal fetish movies all along and is just really good at creating plots that give him a very roundabout excuse to, er, indulge himself.

I Remember that film, it had chow yun fat in it I beleive having seen both though they are very different films but with a very similar central theme. City on fire I think it was called. I would say it was heavily inspired by rather than a rip off.

Bit like avatar and the story of pocohontus. Very similar in theme and story but different enough to be not considered a rip off.

I'm not kidding when I say that watching recent Tarantino movies feels like this:
