did anyone notice in the trailer.. that there is a scar on Pitt's throat?

I read the first 2 chapters of the script (didn't want to read it all and spoil it :p) but the scene from the trailer is in it, and in the script it says:

"The scar will never once be mentioned"

That is great! A good catch on both accounts; observing the scar, and revealing its (lack of) nature. :D

I probably shouldn't have put quotation marks around it, as those words aren't actually said by anyone!

It's just mentioned in the script, showing that the scar will remain a mystery throughout and just adds a bit of edge to that character I guess.

I hope they have those posters for the other Basterds as well. I doubt they will though, because Pitt is the most recognizable among them; but it would make for a ****ing awesome set of wall/door posters if they had them all.

I hope so to, or at least release a big poster I loved the first poster with the baseball bat so epic.

The war genre has been done to death, there are at least 3 BIG movies each year that about the same stuff, and about another 7 based on the time period, so I was kind of reluctant to follow this, but looking and how cool Kill Bill ended and that Brad Pitt is it, it's must be ****in awesome.

Ok, I though you were being sarcastic at the end of your post, so I was harsh, but if you weren't I will say (in defense of the film; )

This is not just another "Brad Pitt" movie. You will be sorely mistaken if you expect this to be "Ocean's Fifteen" This is not even "Kill Bill meets WWII"...if you don't get it, you don't get it....and nobody can someone for that at this point as the movie is not out yet. I just say, even with preconceptions, wouldn't quite count it out just yet.

Edit: this is mostly a bad post because I caught what I said wrong at the wrong time. So; Pick it is as you will!

but then I will always question why . Everything I do see on screen should be significant. Especially something as big as the scar. Like he should be dead? but he's not? like WTF? lol.

    • If you don't care to read what I said, then you prove my point. Maybe written media is beyond your attention span. Titles are not summaries my friend.
    • Nobody asked... in fact, I said "I don't care about political leanings"  
    • TLDR. Here is a far better title (just a basic example): Windows 11 26H2 to allow disabling Web search results
    • Restore will get my vote, only if to see if things are any different, doubt it though but Labour and Conservatives too out of touch and same thing over and over and over…, Lib Dem who?
    • There is nothing wrong with this title. You have completely missed the plot when it comes to "clickbait." The issue was never that a title tries to entice you to click, that is how titles have worked for over 100 years. The issue is when the title subverts expectations, getting you to click expecting something that isn't there. The classic clickbait example is "Boyfriend caught cheating, what happens next will shock you," then what happened next is the girlfriend was upset...which is probably the least shocking outcome imaginable. If sounds like what you want is for the titles to be a collection of 10-word summaries that you can skim, get the just of the story, and only click if you want more details. That is not, never has been, and never will be what titles are. You can go all the way back to print newspapers during the great depression and see the same thing. The newspaper was locked in a vending machine, all you can see is the headline, you choose to put in 5¢ to buy the paper and read the rest if you want. Those headlines were written in a way to sell the paper, not just to provide a summery. Here are two actual headlines from that time, "Wall Street Lays an Egg," or "Stocks Hit Bottom?" Maybe you'd say something like "it was wrong then and it's still wrong now." Okay, fine opinion to have, but it isn't like Neowin is doing something unjurnalistic, they are just following the age-old standards for written media.
