Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Bastards – The Trailer Arrives

Tarantino's latest starts the Motherless PR push
A new film from the Pulp Fiction bad-ass Director of Jackie Brown is a geek event par excellence. Today the first look teaser parachuted in to heighten the fever. Remaking the 1970’s original, expectations are high for genre hopping exploitation and cartridge in cheek tension.
As usual actors were climbing over themselves in hopes of becoming immortalized as a QT character. The cast of Inglorious Bastard, an eclectic bunch assembled for a Dirty Dozen style WWII Combat adventure. Leading the cutthroat posse of Reservoir Dogs is a heavily accented Brad Pitt, whose sole purpose is “Killin’ Nazi’s” (Nat-s-ies).
Included in this blood thirsty rampage against German forces is Mike Meyers (So I Married an Axe Murderer) , Eli Roth (Hostel Director) , Diane Krueger, Samuel L Jackson (Pulp Fiction), Cloris Leachman (High Anxiety), Julie Dreyfuss (Kill Bill), Maggie Cheung (Kill Bill) and Rod Taylor (The Time Machine).
Removing the deeper hypocrisies and contemplation on the futility of war, Tarantino promises a rollicking yarn that romps through sex, violence and mayhem.
The throwback “boys-own” style war film has been out of fashion ever since Hollywood developed a conscious. Personally the anti war film is very satisfying but there is certainly a place for exploitation and gratuitous propaganda too. The romanticized image of war left us long ago, it will be an interesting social experiment to see how audiences behave in what could be called an extinct genre.

I'm not really sure about this.
Eli Roth swinging the baseball to the head looks promising.
The performance of the guy playing Hitler looks amusing.
Brad doesn't cut it for me.
And what's with the weird spelling of the title ...??
I'll still see the movie of course, and it'll probably be a lot of fun, but with each passing movie of Tarantino I kinda grow a little colder ... if you get my drift.
