I have the same feeling when I see Argentinian actors in Spanish movies. It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying. I think it's underestimate the public.

Excellent point XT!

I have a 720p version of Inglorious Basterds,which i watched last night.
Superb vintage Tarantino 10/10

I guess Im the only then.......I didnt really think Inglorious Basterds was any good. Hhhhmmm.....I mean it was quirky and all that but far from a "10" for me personally. I wonder why?

I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds yet (not sure if I will).  I'm not a big Tarantino fan, mostly because I think his acting is poo and his "homages" in Kill Bill seemed more like rip-offs, but I digress.

I wouldn't exactly call his homages rip offs.
  His acting's ok,but as a director,my opinoion is that he's original with his movies,there's no other director quite like him.
  He's the best of recent times......well i think so anyway. ;D

Well, the fact that Tarantino directed this was the main motivation for watching it in the first place. But alas.  His bit part was pretty freakin funny though.

I believe a little of both of those to ideas. It bugs me that his 'homages' are so over appreciated because so many people haven't done the work and sought out what he was inspired by. But, he is pretty good at what he does. He's one of those people that I take for what he is.

But most Argentinians have Italian or Spanish roots anyway don't they?

That is quite true.
But someone from Dublin doesn't have the same accent as someone born in Chicago even when that city had a big Irish inmigration.

Btw, I'm not a big Tarantino fan.  :-\

Inglourious Basterds was a homage to Sergio Leone's westerns, starting with "Once upon a time in..." and the opening scene was almost exactly the same as the opening to The Good, The Bad and The Ugly with Angel Eyes.
I really liked Kill Bill, and IB is my fav of the year (gonna see Avatar later so maybe not) but then I didn't really like Reservoir Dogs. Haven't seen Pulp Fiction :-\

What was his part? He usually is in his movies, but this time I did not see him.

Wiki Sez :
Quentin Tarantino as an unnamed Nazi footman (the first to be depicted being scalped),
and also as an American sergeant in the German propaganda film-within-a-film,
"Nation's Pride", with a single spoken line: "I implore you, we must destroy that tower!".
It is a recurring feature of Tarantino's movies for the director himself to appear in a cameo role.

I need to see that movie.
 You got to understand the movies he was influenced by,, things like the 70s exploitation films,, the Italian westerns from the 70s etc.
 Robert Rodriguez ( sp) is almost the same,, I have Planet Terror ( of course,, zombies) and the El Mariachi movies ( Tarrantino played in number 2,, Desperado)
 I like Reservoir Dogs because it was a throwback to the single set films of the early 70s.

I went to see Resovoir Dogs twice at the cinema.
  Pulp Fiction was a VHS affair as i was in prison when it hit the big screen.
Probably his best work.
