Inglourious Basterds

Inglorious Bastards Looks like Quentin Tarantino finally put down the bong and got around to making a feature length movie (or maybe he just swapped the pot in the bong for meth). The tripped-out trailer for Inglourious Basterds promises loads of action, which should be refreshing after the painful talkyness of Death Proof (face it, the action in that movie ruled, but the gab… a real snoozer).

World War II — or rather, World War II movies — should give Tarantino all the building blocks he needs to create a magnificent symphony of destruction. Judging by trailer, Inglourious Basterds is using movies like the Dirty Dozen as source material, and will bear little resemblance to reality. Good for us, since we already have magnificent “serious” World War II movies in the form of Downfall and the Thin Red Line. This promises to be exploitation trash of the highest order, and while Basterd actors like Brad Pitt and Eli Roth are jumping out of planes, audiences will find out once and for all whether Tarantino has jumped the shark.
