The more I see of this film the more I am certain it is going to be the film of the year. It just looks awsome. QT ,hopefully, is going to be making a few people eat their words.
I'm also looking forward to this but only because I hope QT will repay me the nearly 2 hours he stole from my life with the Death Proof debacle, that basterd.

Don't know if anyone's seen this or not, but the reviews are pouring in across the internet for IB.
It's kind of hard to read them because there's spoilers everywhere, but the basic consensus is kind of mixed right now.
The people who don't like it have complained about the over-abundance of dialogue, the lack of screen time for the Basterds (that one surprised me), the pacing, and the overall runtime.
I'll still be there opening day (even though I hated Death Proof with a passion).

It is weird how this movie has seemed to have split people, there are 1 star reviews and 5 star reviews all over the place. Like you say, the biggest complaints are too much talking and not enough running around shooting. Haha, I would take that everyday thank you.
QT films are an odd one, they are essentially "proper" art-house films but have mainstream appeal, that means that your hack critics are going to be reviewing them and comparing them to Transformers and The Dark Knight. The reviews by critics who know what they are talking about on the whole seem good.
I am not worried, although very, very weird that nobody seems to care about giving the end away
It was good I thought. Brilliant in parts, a bit OTT in others.
It's very aware of itself and it isn't a film that tries to hide the fact it's just a movie if you know what I mean. Not as much as Death proof, but it grated on me at times.
I think it's probably a film that will get better the more times you see it. At times it did bore me. I'm not a fan of long rambling speeches that lack conflict and tension, particularly if there isn't anything deep to learn. It seems to ask you to expend energy on something when there's nothing to gain from it and that's something I never really enjoy.
So, overall, well worth seeing, as most of his films usually are in some way or another.
Not being familiar with Cannes protocol, how does one go about getting tickets to a premier?
There are several ways.
1 is a Production invite. Ie you were responsible for making the film in some way, or have been invited by those people.
The more usual ways are through the festival accreditation. There are several levels. The lowest is through the short film corner. You put your film in there and get accreditation. You can then book tickets on a first come first served basis. You get a certain amount of credits and book the seats on a computer terminal, online or through your phone.
The next level is festival accreditation. My girlfriend is an actress and had this (You've got to have been in recognised feature film in the last 3 years), so she could get tickets for any Premier in the morning for two people. Actors and their escorts get to go down the Red Carpet and do the whole thing properly. You get seats in front or behind the Production team (Directors and Producers of the film being Premiered have a section with more leg room in the centre).
Then there is market accreditation. This means you are a producer, or a film company or an offical rep. They have priority entrance over the previous two. They have red badges.
Then there are the buyers who have purple badges and are allowed into every event.
You can also get press accreditation. (They show the films to the press the night before the Premier). Anyone with a badge can attend these if there is room.
It's a pretty good system. You don't really need to know anyone to get in, you just have to be a filmmaker of some kind. Your badge has a different code to show what your profession is, whether you are a Producer, or a tech etc
All writers should attend the festivals with film markets. Deals are happening on every table and you get a book with the names and addresses of everyone there, so you can book meetings in advance.
The badge system is great as well, as you can spot the players and make sure you happen to sit next to them in a restaurant.
