Eight Jewish-American soljers invade Notzi France to do to the Notzis the same thing Quenten Tarrantino did to the English language: butcher it.

Written by Quentin Tarantino the day his spell check broke, this has all the schlock he loves. Macho posturing. Ultra violence. And monologs that go on way too long. Like you know when you're watching Family Guy, and Peter's fighting a chicken for five minutes? That long.

It's supposed to be a comedy, right? Tarantino writes movies like Mike Myers (who is also in this movie). It's just a stream of words that are trying desperately to be quotable. Guys are going to sit around their dorm room and shout “Each and every man under my command owes me one hunnert Nazi scalps...and I want my scalps!” And they'll do it the same way Brad Pitt does, with that ameteur hour at the Improv accent. I don't know what kind of situation where this line could be relevant. Playing Halo, maybe?

The next movie Tarantino's going to make is about a group of film school geeks who get revenge on their high school bullies, by ranting at them for 20 minutes about pop culture then hitting them with farm equipment.

The special features seem to be more about “Nation's Pride,” the film within the film, than about “Inglourious Basterds.” There is a roundtable discussion between Tarantino, Pitt, and some film critic. It probably begins with everyone introducing themselves. Then Tarantino starts talking about himself and his ultimate vision. Pitt wanders off after 13 minutes. Returns 3 days later with two Namibian children. Looks in, sees he's still talking, and leaves.

Since it takes forever to get any good special edition DVD of his movies, you might want to grab this one if you don't want to wait
