"Inglorious Basterds"

I was told going into Inglorious Basterds to not expect much plot. That was a fairly accurate assessment, although there certainly was a loosely stretched arc of storyline. But what made Basterds fabulous--like most Tarantino movies I suppose--was the characters. Interesting characters wrapped in even more interesting dialogue drenched with violence and sprinkled with humor. Their personalities and quirks were plots in and of themselves, and made the slow pace so, so savory. In fact, after about 20 hours of letting the movie seep in, I think I might prefer Basterds over Pulp Fiction (that's right, Tarantino fans, come get me).
