nonionayJust watched Inglourious Basterds, which I liked a lot, but holy smokes was that movie padded out. I read the Tarantino slaved and agonized over this script for years, and that it just grew and grew. Yeah, it shows. I know he's capable of good pacing. I mean, it's been a while since I've seen Reservoir Dogs, but I don't ever remember thinking, "yes, there's a guy bleeding on the floor. Moving on now!" But this movie had an awful lot of "yes, there's Nazis and they know what the good guys* are up to. Moving on now!"
*Using the term, "good guy" very loosely.
Anyway, I watched it at this particular moment to get general inspiration to work on the Mistworld stories (my own alternate WWII world). I've got a long printout of WWII dates to go over and determine how my timeline differs. Somewhere in my room is a book about female war correspondents back then. I even set it out so I could read it. It's an omen, but does it say to put off this novel, or to get off my ass and clean my room?
