Tarantino Can’t Spell
The trailer for the next Tarantino directed tittle is now available on Yahoo Movies. Not only does Inglourious Basterds appear to have little respect for historical accuracy but the tittle isn’t even spelled right. Funny thing is I remember Tarantino stating in an interview the only two classes he consistently passed in school were History and English. LOL
The upcoming movie is about a covert group of U.S. soldiers known as the Bastards who are sent in to Nazi occupied France under the command of Brad Pitt. Their sole purpose is to well, fuck up some Nazis. There is a second storyline that focuses on a young Jewish woman (Melanie Laurent) who is seeking revenge against the Germans after her fathers death.
Even though this isn’t a faithful depiction of the war (something that really irks about many Hollywood war movies) I’m willing to give ol’ Quentin a shot. I’ve liked all of his previous movies. I know this one looks weird and a little corny but so did Kill Bill which I consider a masterpiece and Reservoir Dogs will always be one of my favorite films.
I got to give the man credit for being one of the few remaining people in Hollywood that are constantly trying to come up with new stuff instead of just rehashing the same old ideas. From just watching the trailer it’s hard to tell what this movie is really going to be about but it is definitely something different.
So will Basterds just be a bloody hack and slash shoot ‘em up that delivers the guilty pleasure of watching Nazis die (seriously, they make great villains because no one with half a brain likes them and we like to see them die. I know I’m not the only sick mo-fo who enjoys gunning down Krauts in WWII video games or watching Nazi heads melt in Raiders of the Lost Arc ) or will it be a deeper film that makes some kind of statement about war? With QT at the helm, I’m betting on the former.
August 21 is a long time away but I’m hoping this movie will be good enough to wash the bad taste of the Bayformer sequel and G.I. Joe movies out of my mouth since their also slated for late Summer. Seriously, those pieces of shit are going to suck.
