the rat/squirrel thing was off, i'll grant you.
but that scene actually had acting in it. it actually conveyed feelings. you had suspsense. those were actual people in those scenes. not that stick-figured caracitures Quentin usually has in his scenes/movies. thats the realist scene Tarantino has made since his Resevoir Dog work.

i was expecting (not really) the same thing in the next 4 chapters.
the next 4 chapters went back to Tarantino bullsh*t. especially Brad Pitt's character. Here you got a serious/acting job done by Landa vs. Pitt's Mad tv/SNL sketch comedy routine. Its hard to take the movie seriously. just didn't work.
