Looks like a comedic take on Valkyrie (even though I know that's not intended). Even the poster looks similar. I like Pitt in weird roles, but I think this'll bomb.

I think it simplifies very complex issues that some people are still sensitive toward. Granted, that's Tarantino's style, and the Indiana Jones series has done the same... but from what I've seen, this film looks like it's a stupid action flick made to appeal to anti-Nazi hypocrites who think it's cool to say "Nazis ain't got no humanity" and to kill them as such.

Since not all German soldiers in WWII were necessarily supporters of the Nazi party, this movie sort of disturbs me with its 'mindless killing' attitude.
But its Quentin Tarantino, so I'll hopefully like it.

That's the one thing that really kills me. So soon after Valkyrie, you'd think that they'd have a better idea than merely "Hey, let's try to blow up Hitler...again"sandiegojones said:
Nah. It's Tarantino, plus Pitt. It will be a box-office success, I think, for at least the first weekend. Whether or not it is actually worth watching is another thing entirely, though.sandiegojones said:

Hope that it is not over produced, as he has a tendency to do.

I'd take that challenge too. I definitely recall QT talking about Basterds back when he was finishing up From Dusk Til Dawn. In that release they were supposed to be Israelis hunting down Nazis in post-WWII South America.

Yes, it was in his head a long time, all I'm saying is that it wasn't in "development hell" per se.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, "two story lines converge: One follows a group of Jewish-American soldiers whose mission is to take down as many Nazis as they can get, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her family at the hands of the sinister SS colonel known as 'The Jew Hunter'".
does this second storyline still because i didnt see any part of it in the trailer.

I say stop reading about it now; you'll only end up irritated by the time it does hit screens. But, yes, I can see that in the trailer -- the blonde.

Sadly, this sounds a lot cooler than what is being served up. Why don't we get more South America in films? I thought Motorcyle Diaries and the recent Che flic would blow things wide open -- but as is often the case -- I was wrong. Evidently people would rather film in Spain and Lake Coumo.

[jokingly]Spare me your per se. All I'm saying is that when you write/produce/direct and act in your own movies, kicking various versions of your own scripts around for years is development Hell. Plus I never said it was in H*ll.

Trailer #4 is up at Apple's Movie Trailer site.
Why am I now thinking that this is going to be a cross between The Dirty Dozen & Ocean's 11? Dramatic tension: out the window!
