Tarm: I got that with his Inglorious Basterds. That film bored me to tears. Not even alcohol made it fun. All it was was endless amounts of bla bla bla blaaa and very short moments far between where something actually happened and then back to bla bla bla milk bla bla...
After that one I decided he's lost his touch and won't watch a film from him again if it doesn't say everywhere that it's filled with action. He thinks he's the wittiest man on earth or something. Bah!
Matruchus: Yep, exactly the same in Hateful Eight. Maybe five minutes of shooting all together with the movie ending in total bloodbath. And 2 and half hours of blablabla, waiting for something to happen, a lot of swearing, a lot of racist remarks and tones of cliches. I really don't know what happened with this movie but the guys who rated it with 8.1 at imdb must be on drugs or something.

I particularly remember one exceptionally drawn out scene in Inglorious Basterds *SPOILER*
A group sit at a bar and talk for what feels like hours where the only suspense is a badly done version of a undercover police being at risk of getting his cover blown. After a while you'll start to doze of and will most probably miss the three seconds of action that concludes the teeth pulling experience.
I bought The Expendables 2, Inglorious Basterds and beer and pizza for a lazy friday. The first was a circle jerk that constantly broke the fourth wall and the second one of the most boring films I've ever watched. Dang that was a wasted potential.
Edit: Changed to The Expendables 2. The first is a great film.
