Inglourious Basterds

[Dadapass]

I'm not feelin it

[somnambulating]

Yeah, these character-breaking the fourth wall adverts are not so different from Kill Bill and yet something seems very standard about it.

I'm looking forward to that Superman Returns review, though. Not because I think it's an interesting film but there's a snowflake's chance he might touch on Grant Morrison's glorious All-Star Superman run whilst putting the character in perspective... yes? No? Maybe.

Not so different from the Jackie Brown posters either.

Mélanie Laurent is a basterd too

I get it already, bottles get produced.

Hahaha! Catch phrase of the year!

It's pretty telling that the only cinephile making decent references in that article is the actor playing a supporting role

[Antoine Doinel]

Like 70 percent of “Inglourious Basterds” this scene was being performed in French and German.....

And also the one person in that article to drop hints that the film should be seen as a comedy! (among all the talk of 12 hour miniseries, trying to justify poor spelling and shaming Spielberg into using German speaking actors if he were making Schindler's List now. It actually sounds as if there should be bad English dubbing for all the actors like all those 70s Italian exploitation films! It would seem to be more fitting!)

This is apparently from "The Bear Jew" himself:

This movie has the intensity of 'Reservoir Dogs,' the style of 'Pulp Fiction,' the violence of 'Kill Bill,' the adrenaline of 'Death Proof' and the characters of 'Jackie Brown.' It's really the greatest of Quentin's talents, all culminating in this film.

Hitler refers to Roth's character in the film as a "Golem." I hope they take the mythic reference to epic proportions.

Also, "Adrenaline" is an interesting word to associate with Death Proof. I would have maybe pointed-out how the two scripts play with audience expectations of genre.

[Binker]

But all of those things are the same in all of those films

[domino harvey]

It's like, ask any idiot outside a McDonalds getting a movie from the RedBox why he's renting a Tarantino film and you'd get a better response than "The violence" for Kill Bill or "the style" of Pulp Fiction. And that idiot would be a further one-up on Roth because most likely they will not be the director of Hostel and Cabin Fever.

from cannes, the biggest basterd of them all...



somehow the "violence" description applied to Kill Bill doesn't seem as jarring nor the kind of neanderthalic observation it might appear to be at first glance. violence is not only integral to that film but also the means by which it continually reaches a resolution. "The Whole Bloody Affair" is the result of a lover's quarrel and not unlike "Breathless," the characteristic genre violence resolves the argument that would reach its conclusion with a melodramatic speech in say, an Ibsen play or Bergman film.

[domino harvey]

It's an idiotic quote not because it isn't in some part true but because the descriptors he lobbed at each Tarantino film could simplistically summarize, as Binker pointed out, any Tarantino film.

[swo17]

Well, except that I can only think of one of them that has "the characters of Jackie Brown."

According to Eli Roth, there's at least one other

[Tom Hagen]

So there's a bailbondsman, an arms dealer, a flight attendant-cum-drug smuggler, an ex con, and a stoner surfer girlfriend in this movie too?

So there's [...] a stoner surfer girlfriend in this movie too?

Maybe Roth got his nouvelle vagues mixed up

If I'm not mistaken, this is our first look at this movies Bill/Stuntman Mike, Hans Landa:



and 37 other pics, including Shoshanna's movie theatre and Churchill posing in front of a couple of movie adverts... (not really):

Along with the Press Kit we now have the Soundtrack listing:

After The Verdict: Ennio Morricone (from the film The Big Gundown
L'incontro Con La Figlia: Ennio Morricone (from the film The Return of Ringo)
Il Mercenario (Reprisa): Ennio Morricone (from the film Il Mercenario)
Algiers, November 1954 (from the film The Battle of Algiers)
The Surrender (La resa): Ennio Morricone (from the film The Big Gundown)
Mystic and Severe: Ennio Morricone (from the film Death Rides A Horse)
Un Amico: Ennio Morricone (from the film Revolver)
Eastern Condors: Rabbia e Tarantella: Ennio Morricone (from the film Allonsanfan)

So he got a Morricone score for it after all.
