when Kathryn Bigelow won for Best Director. They couldn't even feign neutrality! Interesting.

Well, you can't win an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay when most of the the script isn't original. I'm the type of guy who mainly watches movies of rather poor quality, but I do know when something is original and when something isn't, and this movie is far from original.
An original screenplay means a new and fresh idea. "Inglourious Basterds" was just another typical Tarantino movie reference/tribute-fest. If none of you can accept that, just look at the main evidence:
He basically remade a movie with a similar plot and stole the title
http://www.imdb.com/board/10076584/
Now don't give me any excuses like "what about the Jew Hunter?" or any of that other Tarintino supporting beep ("Oh, such great dialogue"; "The spelling of the title was different"; "He supposedly spent 10 years writing this"). Also, this isn't the only Jewish revenge movie, there were plenty of others made before this one (Defiance rings a bell), and killing Hitler at the end doesn't change the fact that it's still a REMAKE of a foreign film. I'm sick of hearing that Tarantino was robbedhell, he shouldn't have been nominated in the first place.
Yeah, bring on the criticism -

Pfffyeah I'm ignorant for not thinking there's anything original about Inlgourious Basterds, just like your ignorant for thinking there isn't anything original about the Hurt Locker. And there are plenty of other reasons why Inglourious Basterds doesn't deserve any praise other than the story being unoriginal. I just hated the movie and it's so overrated. I would like to write ten pages explaining why, but I have better things to do with my time than talking about overrated Tarrantinto schlock, so here's a movie reviews that's on youtube that took the words right from my mouth as to why Inglourious Basterds sucks.

You had better things to do with your time so you went and specifically looked up two videos on youtube to explain yourself? We get it, you didn't like the movie.
Also, this sorta begs the question, why am I posting? Honestly, I don't even know. None of us are going to change anyone else's opinions so lets quit bitching and enjoy our own movies. -

These
are valid reasons why the movie doesn't deserve praise?
