Speaking of Nazis such as Flower, Inglourious Basterds was ridiculous, but highly entertaining. The dialogue in the movie is Tarantino's best since Pulp Fiction. Only where PF was mostly amusing, well written gibberish (outside Sam Jackson's character, who made a few points), the dialogue in IB is used to create extreme discomfort and tension that keeps you on the edge of the seat. And it's not hype - the guy who plays the head villain deserves an award.

My only problem with it was Tarantino's use of Western, Disco and dissonant orchestral waves reminiscent of There Will be Blood all in one movie. Too many disparate styles there at once, IMO.

Well, I was trying to keep that one on the dl, but now that the proverbial cat is proverbially out of the proverbial bag, here is a list of all my New Year's Resolutions:

1. Be more gratuitously and excessively hostile.

2. Devote time to reminisce about the heyday of the chillwave movement.

3. Debunk the "Back to Sleep" movement and/or expose the myth of lactose intolerance.

4. The whole master race thing.

Yeah, good luck with that. The soy lobby owns mainstream media.

Any recommendations will be greatly appreciated!

Try the Nordstrom house brand. They wear well and aren't too expensive. If you're tall, buy the next size up.

You must have heard my high school marching band play the theme from Rocky. Or was it the Pops Concert version of the Superman them that killed it for you?

I am going to assume that, unless otherwise stated, all opinions contained in your posts are yours. So that should save you a little typing.

I am also going to assume that about the "facts" in your posts.

the virile get what flower meant. like an arrow that misses its target one aiming for the moon might "miss" and move beyond into the surrounding stars.

of course we all understand why you read it to imply a lack of thrust and an early fall back limply to earth.

simple loss in translation is all.

You see a little girl and you think about thrusting with your virility? I think you've taken Wonk's place.
