We're interested to see Inglorious Bastards for many reasons, but one of them has to be how Tarantino manages to tell a story where his characters can't just sit down and yabber.
More so than other Tarantino's movies, Reservoir Dogs is about talking. We concede that a few flashback sequences and some gun play breaks up the dialogue, but we'd hardly complain if they weren't included. Thanks to Tarantino's sharp pen, the need for anything other than gangster gossip and Madonna metaphors are superfluous.

Most Richard Linklater movies are renowned by being free and easy with plot, but at least most of them are based around something. By comparison, once the characters step off the train in Before Sunset, you could be anywhere.
Linklater focuses on dialogue, but it hardly hits the giddy stratospheres of Tarantino territory. Instead, laid back and easy going musings sprout forth like the characters were two freshman art students on a first date.
It sounds like a pretentious movie for people (read: students) who have time to pine for sleepless nights full of conversation and connecting with a special someone, but Ethan Hawk and Julie Delpby manage to steer it into a believable romantic tale.
