Inglourious Basterds Nurmbar Won At Weekend Borx Orifice
You can say a lot of things about Quentin Tarantino - mainly about his great big stupid chin if you like - but don't say he never learns. Remember Valkerie, the movie where Tom Cruise tries to kill Hitler but bollocks it all up? Not a great big hit at the weekend box office. But Inglourious Basterds, the movie where Brad Pitt tries to kill Hitler and then does, is a super duper number one hit at the weekend box office. Or maybe it's because everyone really wanted to see what Eli Roth is like as an actor. No? No, we didn't think so either.

American Idol: Quentin Tarantino? Guh?
Last night American Idol sang songs from the movies - specifically the movies with dreadful power ballads in them. Honestly American Idol, Songs From The Movies? Be more broad next time, we dare you. Why not have a Songs That Exist night? Or, if you feel that's too constricting for your audience, why not have an Arbitrarily-Chosen Ambient Sounds night? Would you watch Lil Rounds give a heartbreaking performance of Dot Matrix Printer Paper Jam? Because we bloody would. Anyway, because last night's American Idol was about films, the show booked Quentin Tarantino to be the guest mentor. Which was weird.

Mike Myers is an Inglorious Bastard…And He Isn’t Funny
Mike Myers has gone from a childhood hero of hecklerspray to being one of the worst 'comedians' on this planet we call Earth. So what does any actor do when they realise their popularity is at an all-time low - even lower than it was when nobody even knew who Mike Myers was? That's right - they sign up for a role in a Quentin Tarantino movie. Works every time. So it comes as no surprise that Wayne Campbell has joined the increasing ranks for Tarantino's newest hype-machine, Inglorious Bastards. It's a war film and it's by Quentin Tarantino, so expect it to be quite insane and bring about countless complaints from idiots, while other idiots just talk as if it's the greatest film that's ever happened. When it's clear to anyone with sense that it isn't offensive, it is good, but it isn't the second coming. It's the Tarantino formula.
