Maybe it's because the cold mountain scenes, etc... remind me so much of Django, but the casting on this one just doesn't seem up to par with other Tarantino flicks. Granted, it does have about 1/2 of the usual Tarantino suspects, but based on an admittedly short snippet, they just don't seem to work as well.

At some point he's going to disappointment me so I shouldn't hold these movies to such a high standard, but that teaser didn't get me nearly as ginned up to see it as most of his have.
I'm kind of like you, but a little optimistic that I'll be surprised. My problem is, I can't for the life of me picture in my mind what about this premise, and the little snippets I've seen in trailers, turns into a Tarantino extravaganza I've come to expect.

Nazi killing elite American Jews - I can see that
One of the world's elite assassins exacting revenge on her squad who double crossed her - Yes please!!
A freed slave wreaking havoc on the landed gentry through will and cunning - surefire!!

etc.

But a 'Dinner with Andre' talkie with a bunch of scruffy dudes and a female criminal cooped up in a winter cabin??

I'm at a loss. But my optimism views this as a plus, as I hope to be blindsided by brilliance.
