THANKS, QUENTIN. You really are going to get this movie out right on time, aren’t you?
A few notes:
I do not know how I feel about that accent of Brad Pitt’s or his line delivery. This may be something where it’s better in the context of the film than ripped out in a trailer, but my emotions seem to be on a teeter-totter regarding Pitt at the moment.
Also, this looks different from what I imagined but nonetheless cool. I still want to see it.
What I’m dreading is the numbing feeling that I may have to issue a certified Internet apology to Eli Roth. That man is fucking creepy in that trailer, man. Between the baseball bat, the smirk and the lurking behind Pitt, I’m kind of afraid that I’m going to have to admit that um…Eli Roth might have been a good fit for this film.
And now my dearests, I turn it over to you – what do you think? Does QT practically have $10 of your money already or what?
1416 and Counting 
I’m sooo there.
I’m sooo there.
I might take off work, I’m SO there. YEAH. Whee, I feel like I should throw a party or something.
I’d give him my $10 right now. I’m so in. I cannot wait.
1. Seeing Ryan from The Office completely took me out of the film (trailer).
2. Where’s Mike Myers? Maybe I just missed him.
3. Brad Pitt, huh? Didn’t love him, didn’t hate him. Kinda wish he had cast someone who wasn’t nominated for Best Actor for a Forrest Gump prequel a month ago.
4. 100 Nazi scalps? Methinks I’m gonna love this movie.
5. Hitler at the end was amazing.
Ah… huh. Okay. Because I didn’t just spend Thursday with back to back Tarantino movies. This is really like a cherry on top for me.
I think, whenever faced with Tarantino, I will never be fully able to accept them at face value. I will always need a day of breathing and thinking over time to decide about them.
Same kind of deal with this trailer.
And Brad Pitt sounds Southeasterly to me, if that’s any help.
2. Where’s Mike Myers? Maybe I just missed him.
Scott, I didn’t see him either. You’d think he would’ve popped up in the trailer somewhere…
4. 100 Nazi scalps? Methinks I’m gonna love this movie.
Have you read the script? It is going to be awesome. I will say that I don’t remember reading the “100 Nazi Scalps” part in the script, but you know Tarantino – he adds shit all the time while he’s shooting.
5. Hitler at the end was amazing.
I wasn’t really sure on Hitler at the end, but now he’s kind of grown on me. I don’t know what the hell that cape thing is that he’s rocking.
I will always need a day of breathing and thinking over time to decide about them.
Yeah, I can see that. My first instinct is always that I want to give the movie a hug, but it’s nice because almost every time I rewatch something like Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs, I find something new about the movie to love.
And Brad Pitt sounds Southeasterly to me, if that’s any help.
Yeah, he does to me too, but his accent slips a bit. I guess it just jarred me a bit out of the Tarantino amazingness. :D
I actually just saw Reservoir Dogs for the first time (uncut. It took a surprisingly long amount of time to find someone I knew who owned the movie) and I realized that the farther away I got from it, the more I was able to appreciate what happened. Immediately afterwards was a lot of “Whoa…” And watching Four Rooms clips on youtube after that didn’t help much. (I’m counting that as a Tarantino film because… because. He did direct the last chapter bit, after all).
I love the trailer, and I’ll definitely see this in theaters. I don’t know why Quentin decided to use the title of a great 70’s movie with Fred Williamson and Bo Svenson, I guess he watched it as a kid too. I also don’t know why he misspelled it, though going by the script that was leaked, perhaps he doesn’t know that he did.
I’m glad we’ll be getting a good FUN World War 2 movie again.
Dude, Tommy, Bo Svenson will be IN THIS ONE. He’s in the Nazi propaganda film that will be the film within the firm.
I know he got the basic idea from the ’70’s film – and I read the script and holy cow, Tarantino cannot write a grammatically correct, well punctuated sentence with proper spellings to save his life. I believe the “Inglourious Basterds” misspelling was brought to his attention and he refused to change it or something like that.
I’m glad we’ll be getting a good FUN World War 2 movie again.
Dude. DUDE. I’m just so excited to see a new Tarantino movie that I hadn’t even thought about that angle…
