IT WAS VILE. Christoph Waltz got a supporting actor award, though, so that was a tiny piece of comfort. And later during a Q&A someone asked him if he felt his career would be suffer at all since he'd played such a diabolical villain that would undoubtedly cast some kind of shadow over his future roles, and his reply was basically "It would if that were true, but it isn't, so it won't." BLESS.
And he pays attention to continuity in ways Joss doesn't. One of the things I love about Tarantino movies is how insanely LAYERED they are. Like they're not overtly "intellectual" or pretentious, but there are all these little things a viewer doesn't pick up on until later fridge brilliance. The first time I saw Death Proof I liked a couple of moments but overall felt it was pretty mediocre, and then I read this super awesome, detailed review of all the little things in the movie's structure and its characters that were totally brilliant, and I was all, "omg. Forgive me, Mr. Tarantino, for not seeing how unbelievably EXCELLENT this movie is." It's still not totally to my taste, but I appreciate it a whole lot more.
(...You know what happens when I try to keep my fangirling over movies I know people haven't seen yet + want to see spoiler-free? That. That kind of huge vague paragraph is what happens.)
And you have a Connor icon! *is excited* I HAVE TWO. ♥
