Good flick.

One thing always bothered me about this particular scene: if these guys know each other well enough to laugh and joke around with each other (so much that Joe's gotta straighten them out), then how could they not know anyone's names yet? How often do you joke around with perfect strangers without giving them your name?

I mean, it's not a showstopper for me, I still enjoy the movie very much but I think this scene should have been split into two entirely different scenes: 1) assigning their names and 2) yelling at them for joking too much. Chonologically-in-the-story, they need to occur in that order but thru editing, they can be switched around, as Tarantino likes to do.

Just a thought.

Actually, I quite often joke around with strangers. I believe it's called social skills...

Yeah Tarantino's "chatty" style can get old sometimes but i thought it was really well done in this one. I joke around with people i dont know all the time and i rarely ask their names unless i see them again or interested in them(im talkin to you ladies). What irritates me are the movies where people who know each other are using their names while talking to each other. I mean if i have already initiated conversation then why the hell are you calling me by name since we both already know who we are talking to lol

@shuac, it's actually a reference to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.

What I don't understand is that so far nobody has "greenscreened" this with McCain for the Colbert Nation (if I were a geek, I'd do it myself).

I always figured they were instructed not to give each out their names by whoever brought them all together for the job. Also, Joe tells them not to refer to each other by their christian names, which shows a couple of them might know each other's name already.

You're on Videosift commenting on a Tarantino video. That doesn't qualify sufficiently in the realm of geekery?

The fact you're on Videosift alone qualifies for Geekism.

The fact that I'm going to use an invocation to declare this to be *comedy without adding anything else of value to the conversation is the epitome of geekism.
