Quentin The Comedian

Just watched Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds (hard to spell), and guess I thought it was a so-so movie. Great acting, and also very funny to see Wayne from Wayne's world (Mike Myers) as a stiff-lipped British officer. Brad Pitt is okay as the redneck leader of the basterds.

The whole concept, with a bunch of jewish sadists going medieval on nazis is a bit ridiculous, but works okay for entertainment. The fact that the movie changes the outcome of WW2 entirely is quite banal, letting the nazi party leaders including Hitler get killed trapped in a burning movie theater in Paris.

Tarantino is a bit of a comedian, and his films are usually filled with little cool details and jokes. When he on the premiere night in Berlin has an after party including a female black singer from Sweden, makes you wonder if the Germans have given him bad reviews previously? (In the end a full movie theatre of Nazis/Germans gets massacred).

Here's a clip from CNN where the killing of Nazis is called "fun":

Here's a clip from the Berlin premiere, with a different focus:
