Controversial take: The real animal violence shown in Italian cannibal movies from the '70s and '80s always seems to be the subject of outrage and hand-wringing these days, with a lot of people - even genre fans - refusing to watch the movies if those scenes are in them. But, personally, I have always liked these scenes and appreciated their inclusion, and I think it makes the films feel even rougher and more uncomfortable (which is kind of the point). The moral discomfort of exploitation cinema is a huge reason I have always found it so appealing.

Thing is. When you watch a film like inglorious bastards. You realise how little thought went into it.

Every soldiers uniform is pristine and clean. Spotless. Pitts is ironed within an inch of its life

It totally takes you outta the film.

Not in the field. Ever. I shouldn’t have to bridge that small mental leap for you. Do it yourself.

Stop watching wank and start watching something approximating reality maybe?

What solider in any battlefield would have a pristine uniform?

If you’ve missed that level of basic detail what else have you missed?

Burn your lame criterion collection right now and start again.

At gremlins.
