trailer break: ‘Inglourious Basterds’

Fri, Aug 07, 2009

Take a break from work: watch a trailer…

Will “We in da killin’ Nat-see bidness, and bidness is boomin’” be this year’s “I drink your milkshake, I drink it up”? I hope so. Nazis: the last people it’s safe to hate on.

Is it too much of a spoiler to say that I’m guessing they don’t succeed in killing Hitler? Or should we trust that Tarantino may divert us into a parallel universe where a buncha Jewish American grunts succeeded in offing the most evil man of the 20th century?

That would be quite an ending, actually.

I’m loving Brad Pitt more and more all the time, and I expect to ramp it up some more after this one. And my love-hate relationship with Quentin Tarantino may swing back to the love side of things.

Inglourious Basterds opens in the U.K. on August 19, and in the U.S. on August 21.

It looks like it wants to be “The Dirty Dozen” or “Kelly’s Heroes” but Brad Pitt, for all his good qualities, isn’t Lee Marvin or or Clint Eastwood. And the script … hard to know from two minutes, but if those are the best lines, then, … not so much.

Be curious to see how it turns out.

Brad Pitt is playing a Jewish American soldier? Brad Pitt? Well, I guess I can understand that. I mean, there are so few Jewish actors in Hollywood. Must have been tough for Tarantino.
