Inglorious Basterds trailer...

So here's the first glimpse of a film that has been eagerly anticipated since first mentioned a decade ago. Inglorious Basterds. Tarantino and World War 2. Sounds like a dream combo. But me, I dunno what to make of the trailer. Some moments look badass. Some look comical. We get a tone of the film from one shot and then a completely different feeling off another. This a worrying indication of inconsistency? I'm sure Tarantino knows exactly where the film's going. Let's just hope he refrains from disintigrating into a sess-pit of obscure 1940's pop-culture dialogue. Enjoy.

First look at 'Inglorious Basterds'

Well, it's been a long, LONG time coming, but Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Basterds (and that's not a misspelling) is finally going ahead. And here is the first image of Brad Pitt as Lt. Aldo Raine, the leader of the titular Basterds. Personally, I think Tarantino needs to return to the form he last showed with Jackie Brown. His last few films have been more self-indulgent than entertaining. But with a World War II backdrop, perhaps Inglorious Basterds could be a really great flick. Provided the pop culture references and foot fetish is kept to a minimum.
