So everyone read this in the Paul F Tompkins as Garry Marshall voice right?

My favorite scene this year was the opening party (forget if it was a funeral or holiday) in Beasts of the Southern Wild, the music and images when the title pops on the screen were perfect to set the tone for that film.
 
Other notables:
The German speaking scene in Django Unchained

I saw it last night and do think that Tasha is absolutely correct about the narrow alpha fantasy.  However, the film seems VERY intentional about the ridiculousness of it.  Tom Cruise delivers most of the performance with a nod and a wink to the audience.  There's even a scene of dialogue that becomes almost old…

@avclub-1f2ebe8704ceb37f24405d68cd0b9d04:disqus That's fine. I'm not afraid to say if you didn't like Inglorious than you probably won't like this.  Also safe to say if you don't like QT you won't like this.
