Inglorious Basterds Teaser

Three Words: Tear And Tino / Dustin Rowles

Trailers | February 11, 2009 | Comments (31)

For reasons that escape me, the teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s Inglorious Basterds (sp), which aired during last night’s Entertainment Tonight was pulled from YouTube (why? Why wouldn’t a movie studio want something it put out aired as many times, in as many places as possible?), so all we have here is a bootleg copy. Feh. Still: You get a damn good feel for Brad Pitt’s awesomely bad accent, and in a matter of 20 seconds, all of that Benjamin Button ill will just washes over you. Bootleg or not, I’m digging the hell out of this:

Hoo man, that accent is so awesomely bad. As little regard as I have for Pitt, that is one faux detail that makes this thing all the more irresistable. Plus, I want to see the guy from the Office covered in blood and weeping.

I had to watch with the sound off, which may have turned out to be a good thing, what with that uber-douche Mark whats-his-face talking.

And holy shit, is that neil schwieber? Fuck yeah!

Orgasm.

Was that BJ Novak from The Office I glimpsed briefly??

If that was supposed to be an intense drama...ancient Brad Pitt killed it...and not in a good way.

Well, I get the feeling it's supposed to be a little goofy.

I thought this was an interesting appraisal:

Yeah, I think it's a sort of Grindhouse-level take on war movies, with a little Reservoir Dogs thrown in to keep from getting too campy. /shiver

Yeah right, Quentin Tarentino doing an 'intense drama'. If he wasn't born with his tongue firmly in cheek, he's definitely had the surgery by now.

Posted by: twig at February 11, 2009 11:07 AM

You say Tarrantino is involved with this? Don't his movies usually you know involve him writing a script that could serve as a missing testament to the freaking bible? Where are the wordy monologues about pop culture? The obnoxiously self congratulatory drivel the man is known for... THE RANDOM INDIE MUSIC!?!

All I see is a horrible Movie... With Brad Pitt putting on yet another stupid accent

*hiss*

Eli Roth! Booo!

Oh dear, I have a bad feeling about this. I'm not sure it was a good idea to give Quentin Tarantino permission to set another of his fantasies in a war that actually happened.

Plus, has this film got enough chicks 'n' guns? Could've done with more, I reckon.

I'm not sure what you mean by "indie music", besides April March the one time. That article I mentioned says it's using songs and not score, but I don't know where that information's coming from. It's apparently a fact that Ennio Morricone was invited to score it but couldn't do it.

Putting a Tarantino pop culture monologue into 1943 would be a feat, but probably a pretty pointless one, and I think he'd avoid it.

I pushed play and I jizzed in my pants!

Posted by: bucslim at February 11, 2009 11:42 AM

Right now - this isn't looking all that great to me. Brad Pitt is not very engaging and most of this teaser was just him standing around talking about Germans with that awful accent.

I might change my mind when I see a full trailer.

Wait, they couldn't get Morricone so they said "Eh, let's just do pop songs instead."?

Posted by: Optimus Rhyme at February 11, 2009 11:58 AM

Take the "Like a Virgin" monologue from Reservoir Dogs and rework it with Marlene Deitrich and/or Betty Grable instead of Madonna...I'll be the tits.

Wait, they couldn't get Morricone so they said "Eh, let's just do pop songs instead."?

I don't know. The only real story I found was that Morricone isn't doing it. No one seems to really know what the music'll be.

rework it with Marlene Deitrich and/or Betty Grable

Yeah, I really hope not.

Posted by: Jay at February 11, 2009 12:11 PM

Yeah, um, that looks like shit. Drippy, mustard colored, can't keep it from seeping out of your ass shit.

Posted by: Cindy at February 11, 2009 12:30 PM

Meh. Doesn't look that cool. I agree with kayla, maybe a full trailer would make a difference.

Posted by: tt_marie at February 11, 2009 12:40 PM

YES! Samm Levine!!!!!!
i am so ready to see Neil Schweiber kick some nazi skulls in.

Posted by: gross at February 11, 2009 12:42 PM

Say, that reminds me... what ever happened to that guy who directed "Jackie Brown"?

Posted by: JrFanBoy at February 11, 2009 12:46 PM

arrrgggghh...that would be Marlene Dietrich.

Posted by: hugeinjapan at February 11, 2009 12:47 PM

Pitt's character is supposed to be from Tennessee. Yes, it's awful, but it's also the tits.

Posted by: hugeinjapan at February 11, 2009 12:50 PM

This looks like a Monty Python sketch with the humor & intellect surgically amputated and stretched to to feature length.

So we have Nazis reduced to the stereotypical, anonymous, cannon fodder villains, Adolph Hitler into a cartoon character, and plot that neither respects its historical setting nor has yet to offer anything for a plot beyond, "We're gonna kill Germans in many horrible ways...'cuz they're bad guys." I'm all for mindless entertainment, but as of right now it just looks farcical. No wonder the trailer was pulled.

Mainstream trailers, we should all know, can't do a Tarantino film justice.

Withholding judgment.

Posted by: Recondite at February 11, 2009 2:18 PM

Other descriptors that come to mind: freewheeling and irreverent.

If you are going into this expecting historical fidelity, you are setting yourself up for disappointment.

Instead, expect demented creative deviations set in a historical period.

Posted by: Recondite at February 11, 2009 2:40 PM

Finally another movie that that has me itching to go see. The full trailor is out now it looks over the top and fucking awesome.
