A 'Bleep-load' of Nazis Die in Quentin Tarantino and Brad Pitt's New Flick

QUENTIN'S GIFT TO NAZI HATERS

Quentin Tarantino's new war movie, the strangely spelled "Inglourious Basterds," is shaping up to be the blood-spattered antidote for anyone who's depressed by the recent torrent of Holocaust movies - it's one big slaughterfest in which hundreds of Nazis are gleefully executed in the most gruesome ways possible.

"If you thought Nazis died in 'The Dirty Dozen,' brother, you ain't seen nothing yet," film critic Harry Knowles - who visited the German set of the Harvey Weinstein-produced picture - writes on Ain't It Cool News. "There are a [bleep]load of Nazis dying. Seriously."

In the movie, Brad Pitt heads up a team of "Bowery Boy Jews seemingly right from the heart of Hell's Kitchen" who are out to collect 100 Nazi scalps each, according to Knowles. The plot goes from broad comedy to outright horror. In one scene, a soldier played by Eli Roth takes a bat to one Nazi, which ended up "splattering Nazi-brain blood all over me and my script, even though I was a good 15 to 20 feet away," Knowles says. (Roth's casting is a bit of an inside joke as he's also the director who grossed out audiences with the torture-porn shocker "Hostel.")

In another scene, actor Omar Doom, who's described as looking like a "young Al Pacino," effortlessly scalps some Germans while machine-gunning others.

An insider said: "The Nazis really get their comeuppance. It's a big change from all the downbeat Holocaust films over the holidays," referring to "The Reader," "Valkyrie," "Defiance," "Good," "Adam Resurrected" and "The Boy in the Striped Pajamas."

Tarantino told Empire magazine that one Scene, set in a basement bar, will resemble " 'Reservoir Dogs' but with Nazis and in German." He adds: "The Basterds are acting like the Apaches in a no-win situation."

The flick - which co-stars Mike Myers, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Kruger, Cloris Leachman and Rod Taylor - is set to debut at the Cannes Film Festival this spring.

Nope I just thought that it was pretty terrible the only decent bit was for the car chase - even thou it was also really stupid

Do you understand the point of a Grindhouse film? Out of the two, QT's Death Proof was a lot more realistic to a traditional grindhouse film than what Planet Terror is.

I was watching some news outlet today and they had a critic on talking about this film. Apparently he had recently been invited to the set and he's saying this will be the goriest film ever hands down :laugh:

Awesome :p I can't wait for the gore :p

:woot:

Wow. Finally caught the trailer for this (a month late!) in IMDB's main page. This is going to be awesome. I cannot imagine BJ Novak (Ryan The Temp from the US Office) splitting Nazi heads...I completely forgot he was going to be in this movie until I saw him in the trailer!

Also, all of those posters are excellent! Must have them in high res! :D

Probably this will be Pitt's best performance. " We'll be doing one thing and one thing only..... Killin' Nazis. " I hope he is badass.

Yeah this is going to be sooo epic its unreal!

    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
