I think your site is broken. It looked super broken when I followed this link just now.

OK, apparently it's just the login screen that's broken. I finally found the login button and got in and now it looks ok.

It was so wild seeing this in the theater with absolutely no idea from anyone that it was an alternate history about the entire Nazi high command being wiped out in one night. And in the center of it all is the magnificent, Oscar-winning Christoph Waltz, the perfect fit for a role that Tarantino feared for a while he'd made impossible for anyone to actually play, given the requirement to act in four languages across the film (Waltz actually isn't fluent in Italian to the same level as English, French, and his native German, but still is able to do it well enough that only native Italians can tell anything's off).

I’m sorry to hear that filming a reaction to this movie was an uphill battle for you, Jess, especially after you said that you got no sleep the night prior. Likewise, I'm sorry to see you had technical difficulties. I wouldn’t have blamed you in the slightest if you did scream, and I don’t mind you venting about it. You mentioned you had a beer ready to go with the film, I said, “You enjoy that beer, Jess. Ah, and I see it’s Glenn on the glass. Good drinking buddy.” I wouldn’t have begrudged you if you had a six pack after hearing how stress-inducing this reaction proved to be. I am glad to see that you enjoyed it. I missed the chance to see this in the theater, though I caught it shortly after it hit home video as I rented it from Blockbuster. Might actually be, probably is now I think about it, the last film I rented from Blockbuster as the locations where I live shut down shortly after. I'm going to be perfectly honest, and this may be a controversial opinion, this ranks on the lower end of my ranking of Tarantino’s films, and I'm not entirely clear as to why as I maintain that it is great. You bring up the tone, which yes, the tone is great; feels very Where Eagles Dare by way of The Dirty Dozen. I know one point of contention is my thought of the opening scene being too good that the rest of the film falls under the opening scene’s shadow. Speaking of said opening scene, I quite liked that you expressed appreciation for the performance of Denis Ménochet as Monsieur LaPadite as it often feels like that performance gets overlooked. The film was my introduction to some of the cast such as Michael Fassbender and Daniel Brühl. Mélanie Laurent, likewise, was unknown to me prior to this, and she was fan-fucking-tastic as Shoshanna. She was a close second in terms of favorite characters in this. Lovely to see her have her revenge, even if sadly, she does not live to see it. Christoph Waltz was also a revelation, and Colonel Hans Landa is my favorite character of the film. Yes, he won the first of his two Oscars for this. Probably one of the bigger surprises of the cast was Rod Taylor cameoing as Churchill. As you observed, there was plenty of violence in this. The one scene when you said the baseball bat scene was triggering, took a sec, but it clicked what you were referring to, and I nodded and said, “Right. Yup. Yeah, I know what you’re talking about.” Another moment I enjoyed of the reaction was your observation of Stiglitz’s piss-poor poker face. In fairness, that would be a secondary concern to the fact that he’s well known amongst the German army, thus it’s somewhat puzzling that he’s part of the mission, even if his poker face was up to snuff. One thing that’s interesting watching this again is my perspective of Zoller’s plotline. When I first saw it at eighteen, and subsequent rewatches in the immediate years following, I had a thought, one, like you said, he never really had a shot, and two, setting that fact aside, I kept thinking, “I’m sure he mean’s well, his heart is in the right place, but he really needs to take a hint and realize she’s just not interested in him.” Then he reveals his more entitled side which caused the sympathy to dry up. Seeing this more recently for your reaction, and I'm now in my thirties, my initial thought that persisted in all of Zoller’s scenes, was that “Yeah, buddy, you’re just an entitled creep. Creep.” Yeah, a big highlight of the film is how the film diverges from the history books. I like how you had the sneaking suspicion it was going to go that route. All in all, a great reaction. Again, I'm happy you enjoyed it, and I'm sorry that it was such a difficult time filming it. Thank you for the fun reaction. Take care of yourself, Jess.

There's now a popular theory among Tarantino fans that this movie is in a shared setting with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, and Rick Dalton is going to have the biggest hit of his career playing Raine once the mission is declassified in the '70s.

So, true story, I had technical difficulties trying to watch this with you. Then we had a windstorm and the power went out before I could even finish. Just got power back today, this all happened last Friday.
