"Mr. Tarantino, please learn to edit. "Basterds" over 2 and a half hours."

"The big info is that Quentin Tarantino’s newest film “Inglourious Basterds” is 2 hours and 40 minutes! While some might think this is too long, I say fucking awesome! This is the film I’m most excited to see, and I love that it’s going to be an extended and wild ride."

Um, I'm not excited for that. Kill Bill, for all its plot and action, could have been whittled down to one movie. Death Proof could have been edited down to 90 minutes (and still would have felt like an eternity).

To the guy from the Collider: this won't be 160 minutes of action, gore, and mayhem. It'll be about 60 or so minutes of action, gore, and mayhem, and 100 minutes of the trademark "Tarantino dialogue." Let's hope Brad Pitt's performance isn't in quotation marks the way the trailer seems to indicate. Tarantino's shown he can stage action and mayhem beautifully... it's the other stuff that gets in his way.
