		<description><![CDATA[Better late than never&#8230; Tarantino did it. With promises of splattery, wet violence he lured the cap askew, &#8220;F&#8221;-dude lunk into seeing a layered and character-centric foreign language film. I&#8217;m not sure what percentage that mob of lowest common denominators makes up by way of the roughly 4,250,000 people who saw Inglourious Basterds this last weekend, but if the crowd I saw it with was a sample, shaggy energy drink swilling douchebags were at least 60% of it. Which goes to say Tarantino tricked me, too. I went into Basterds with a healthy dose of trepidation at the grue most of the audience was salivating for. Compounded by Eli Roth&#8217;s incessant pre-release blather about gore, slaughter and violence, combined with the childish glee so many had about it&#8217;s promise of debraining by baseball bat, I&#8217;d written it off as cheap and tawdry. Big mistake. Inglourious Basterds is neither. In fact, it&#8217;s one of the most engrossing, rich and satisfying films I&#8217;ve seen in years. Not to say it&#8217;s a masterpiece on the same scale as The Godfather or Saving Private Ryan&#8211; right now Basterds feels a little too confectionery&#8211; but if it&#8217;s very, very close. Like so many masterpieces before it, Basterds contains the essential elements of what makes great films great: tactile characters, engrossing narrative and cinematic heft that carries you from open to close with the same immersion and smile-inducing satisfaction experienced after savoring a great meal. Kicking off in Nazi-occupied France, Inglorious Basterds quickly introduces us &#8211;via a masterfully orchestrated conversation of slow burn&#8211;to the beating heart of the film: its primary characters Colonel Hans &#8220;The Jew Hunter&#8221; Landa and Jewish refugee Shoshanna Dreyfus. It&#8217;s only after this relished introduction that we&#8217;re introduced to the Basterds of title as lead by Lieutenant Aldo Ranes (as played with enthusiastic ham by Brad Pitt).  A squad of Jewish avengers, The Basterds are sent into Europe ahead of Operation Overlord to scalp, carve, ballistically aerate and bludgeon righteous Jewish fear into some goose-stepping Nazis. While perforating the French countryside on their 100 Scalps Tour of &#8217;44, the Basterds are given a heads up&#8211; by way of German movie-star informant Bridgette Von Hammersmark (as played by National Treasure&#8217;s Diane Kruger)&#8211; that Hitler and all his Nazi Yes-Men will be viewing the latest propaganda film from Joesph Goebbels in the same theater on the same night. What no one knows is the screening will be occurring in a theater covertly run by Shoshanna&#8211; the Jewish woman who escaped from Landa in the opening scenes four years earlier. Of course, Shoshanna has plans of her own. In fact, everyone has plans&#8211; plans which all go down in a fantasy serving of hard-boiled revisionist history. Despite holding the film&#8217;s title, the Inglourious Basterds are background characters (only three are even mentioned by name)&#8211; the American component needed to inject some good ol&#8217; rootin&#8217; tootin action and chest-thumping bravado into the proceedings. The Basterds do their job, but after viewing Inglourious Basterds and reflecting on...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[While Inglorious Basterds delights and revels in things I think most human beings should find repugnant, I&#8217;m going all apologist after viewing the &#8220;Jail Break&#8221; clip below. Between the irreverent entry and playful zing of Brad Pitt&#8217;s introduction of the Basterds to the legendary Ennio Marricone&#8217;s bouncy score, it&#8217;s hard not to feel a little twinge of fun, film-geek anticipation at Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s deft play for attention. Tarantino&#8211; you bastalonie. Fire Roth as your spokesperson, because now I&#8217;m listening. For the dependably animated and peppy introduction of the following clip by Tarantino himself, head over to Yahoo! Movies right here and view a few more clips released a few days ago.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you tuned into KVNU&#8217;s &#8220;Andy at the Movies&#8221; segment yesterday, you got to hear Mr. Dan Vinton go all Anakin Skywalker on Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s new late summer release, &#8220;Inglourious Basterds.&#8221; Dan says it&#8217;s a must miss, I wholeheartedly disagree. I think the movie looks fresh, original and darkly funny &#8211; all elements that have made Tarantino&#8217;s previous work golden. But I digress. Really, all I wanted to show you were three new-ish posters I stumbled upon this morning on the web. The Brad Pitt one is spot-on and I&#8217;m sure Jennifer Aniston would agree. What say ye? Do you like the posters and is this a must-see or miss? Click the poster to the left for a full-sized version, as well as the thumbnails below.     ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On Friday&#8217;s AATM show on KVNU, we received a call asking about the insanely anticipated Quentin Tarantino film that will have non-cussers in a real pickle when trying to name the title. No, it&#8217;s not Inglorious Bast&#8230;ages. It&#8217;s Inglorious Basterds (that&#8217;s not a misspell). Eli Roth, man about town and gore/torture porn purveyor extraordinaire (Cabin Fever, Hostel, Hostel 2) has been speaking mightily about the film in recent weeks. He has a starring role, as a Jewish GI who loves baseball and uses Nazi cranium to practice his swing. Earlier, MTV had quoted the self-assured Mr. Roth as stating: This movie has the intensity of &#8216;Reservoir Dogs,&#8217; the style of &#8216;Pulp Fiction,&#8217; the violence of &#8216;Kill Bill,&#8217; the adrenaline of &#8216;Death Proof&#8217; and the characters of &#8216;Jackie Brown.&#8217; It&#8217;s really the greatest of Quentin&#8217;s talents, all culminating in this film. That&#8217;s cool&#8230; but take it as you will- it&#8217;s Eli Roth, who not only stars in Basterds, but also shot a mini Nazi propaganda film for the movie, The Nation&#8217;s Pride, which will be featured prominently in the final cut.  Roth spoke again, which I wish he didn&#8217;t: &#8220;&#8230;In 2 days we did like 130 shots and Quentin was so happy he gave me a third day&#8230; I was thinking ‘God, I didn’t think I could be more offensive after ‘Hostel 2,’ but how can I upset people more than that?’ &#8230;I was going, ‘More swastikas! More swastikas!’&#8230; the Germans were screaming ‘Heil Hitler!’ and ‘Kill the Jews!’ and it was terrifying&#8230; We watched it over and over&#8230; but there was still something very powerful about that. I looked at Quentin and said, ‘What have I done?’&#8230; I’m going to, like, resurrect the Nazi party. They are going to make me their Sarah Palin. They will be like, ‘We love his movie. But he’s a Jew! But it’s such a good movie. But a Jew made it! It’s going to really throw off all the neo-Nazi’s. I can’t wait.” This quote singlehandedly put its own baseball bat to the head of my already weak desire to see this film. I know I&#8217;m in the suspiciously eyed minority thanks to my lack of Basterds anticipation, but the to-date emphasis on all the gleeful and brutal killing with which Basterds is being sold doesn&#8217;t sit well with me, be it Nazi punishment or not. I may have a change of heart as more details emerge before its release in August, but from everything I&#8217;ve seen and heard&#8211; and despite Basterds reinvention as an over-the-top topping of 1978&#8242;s Inglorious Bastards&#8211; the intention feels wrong, as if Basterds is wrapping itself in the justification of the Holocaust as a cheap excuse to exact the same debasement in proxy. Killing scores of Nazis may be intended as feel-good violence, but I&#8217;m not sure violence for the sake of violence should ever feel good&#8211; particularly when used for cavalier laughs and &#8220;Hey man, check THIS out&#8221; entertainment and weighted against the incredibly real suffering and sacrifice...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m pining for Quentin Tarantino&#8217;s &#8220;Inglorious Bastards&#8221; August 21, 2009 release date like I&#8217;m pining for Old Man Winter to stop douching snowstorms on Cache Valley (that&#8217;s a pristine chunk of Northern Utah for all you non-Utah readers).  Get on with Spring already, damnit! However, this brief &#8220;inside&#8221; look at &#8220;Inglorious Bastards&#8221; shown during &#8220;American Idol&#8221; last night is absolutely, unequivocally, 100% lame. So, if you&#8217;re into lame teasers that give you nothing of value, check it out. Loser.]]></description>
