The Hurt Locker on DVD.

What surprised me the most was the Capri Sun pouches. I never knew that sickly sweet stuff existed outside Germany.

Tropa de Elite 2.

Django. (Almost sold out on a wednesday night, btw.)

Eh. Quentin's the master in his own little genre, Campy Violence. I liked it a lot, better than the uneven Basterds. (Though here too, I'd wish the basics the story sets out from were accurate. The plot itself can remain as unrealistic as it needs to be, that's not a problem at all.)

I just realized that every part was no doubt subtitled EXCEPT the part when Schultz and the slave talk in German...the only part subtitled in my theater. Makes sense but still haha.

No... since those subtitles are part of the film artwork (they were in yellow and in some special font) and also a little higher up, further towards the middle of the screen than subtitles usually are...
these parts were doubly subtitled. which was indeed "makes sense but still haha".
I mean, there were a few subtitles elsewhere in the movie (like "1858, two years before the Civil War") that were doubly subtitled as well.

 (It was also unavoidable to note the actress doesn't speak German but did a pretty good job with the pronounciation guide they gave her. A normal second-language speaker accent sounds different.)

One thing about the subtitles that was definitely strange was her name, of course. Brunhilde / "Broomhilda". Because they did indeed render it as Brunhilde when Waltz said it and Broomhilda when Foxx did.

No one told QT the Civil War didn't start until 1861? Unless I'm having a complete mental breakdown . . .

I suppose it's possible that in the Tarantino universe the Civil War started a year earlier (much like Hitler dying early in a crowded theater) but I'm not sure how that happens.

I was thinking the same thing as I read it; but it's late in the year and the main part of the movie is in the next year, and of course the secession crisis also begun in late 1860, so with hindsight it's correct.

Still, I've always considered Fort Sumter in April 1861 the start of the Civil War, not the secession.

"Correct" in the sense of "right", not in the sense of "accurate".

I assumed the first part had to be in early 1858, it usually doesn't snow before Christmas anywhere that far south. Really having snow on the ground in Texas at all is pretty odd, maybe that scene was supposed to be in the panhandle. The later scenes were clearly spring. But who knows when the Civil War started in the Tarantino universe. Mind you there are plenty of other anachronisms, I'm pretty sure dynamite hadn't been invented yet at that time and a lot of the clothes people at Candie's plantation were wearing were obviously from the 20th century (knowing Tarantino it could've just been some tribute to other films.) And of course at the time Schultz would not speak of "Germany".

Dynamite was invented in 1867. But I think the concept of Germany was well established at that time.

Quite.

The trailer looks like pc kitsch of the very worst imaginable order.
