It’s that time again for TGITDNMAR, which (obviously) stands for Thank God It’s The Day New Movies Are Released.

Inglorious Basterds
By all accounts, I should be anticipating this much more than I currently am. Tarantino? Check. Pitt? Check. ???

Perhaps it’s those question marks that are leaving me wanting more. Eli Roth is annoying. Diane Kruger can’t act her way out of a plastic bag. There’s pretty much no one else of note involved. The plot…let’s just say I’m finding it a bit thin. And I’m no fan of torture porn, even when the torture is being performed on Nazis.

So basically, what we’re left with is a case of STYLE vs. substance. Like 300, only without the CGI effects and homoeroticism. I’m sure I’ll see it, but it’ll be done moreso out of loyalty to QT than anything else.

I’d barely heard of this prior to today.

I’d like to keep it that way. You probably would, too.
