That's probably the best review of Inglorious Basterds that I've read yet. Furthermore I really want to read that Hitler biography, like, yesterday. Man that was a really great post.

It means a lot. Jon, I was STUNNED to read at Jog's place that people don't like Eli Roth in this movie! But I think that's because I'd been avoiding all reviews and only reading about him in the context of people posting pictures of him from the movie and saying "holy jesus christ is he hot." Which he IS! Thank you, everyone. It means a lot.

This review has made me totally rethink Inglourious Basterds. At the time I sort of thought the violence was too lifelike to be funny (maybe it could've used a dose of Bad Taste/Dead-Alive-like effects for levity?) I'm way more squeamish than my work would suggest, haha. Wow, Sean. This review has made me totally rethink Inglourious Basterds.

And Inglourious Basterds was magnificent. I didn't sit down and give it that level of in-depth analysis (I believe my rationale behind every decision Tarantino made was because he's motherfucking Tarantino, and he feels like putting a big 70s logo up on the screen while Sam Jackson provides narration about a German officer-killer, thank you very much), but it was a damn good time at the movies. And I love Brad Pitt in broad comedy mode. That was a fucking magnum opus.
