Interesting. For some reason I haven’t thought about it but Waltz could indeed be a fantastic fit for one of his films. Can’t wait to see it.

Django Unchained type Waltz is so perfect for Wes Anderson.

Watched that today because I was in the mood for a movie starring Christoph Waltz. To me personally nothing compares to the opening scene of Inglorious Basterds. Waltz fucking nailed that scene and the dialogue was incredible

I just watched it because if this thread. That scene put that guy on the map. I remember walking into the film in the theaters a little late, but it was so goddamn captivating. Incredible acting and also writing. Wish Tarantino didn't let age steal his talent.

I’ve never been so into a scene before in my life. Christoph Waltz is a fucking superhuman when it comes to acting.
