Inglourious Basterds Trailer 2

I Want My Nazi Scalps

By Dustin Rowles | Posted Under Trailers | Comments (28)

There’s is a brand-spanking new trailer of Inglourious Basterds out today, and in addition to showing something more than the killing Nahtzees speech in the first trailer, we learn three things about the movie in this one: 1) That Brad Pitt may very well be the coolest motherfucker on the planet; 2) that Mike Myers might just redeem the last few years of his career; and 3) Eli Roth is a worse actor than he is a director.

Other than that, all I can say about the trailer is that it really makes me want to see the movie, but aside from the fact that it’s about killing Nazis, I don’t know much about it. And that’s the way a trailer should work.

Actually. The more I see the less I want to see it. The acting looks terrible. The plot is beginning to border on just being plain stupid. The accents are driving me fucking nuts. Tarantino...you're pissing me off.

So Mike Myers was just a dare right? Somebody bet Tarantino $50 that he couldn't bring back his career.

I'm sorry, WHAT? What is The Sloth doing showing up on screen. Eli Roth? It's - But - What - Why? There are no words.

Ah, finally. A place for Mike Myers' potential for understated mockery to be beautifully realized. FINALLY IT'S NOT LIKE YOU'RE NOT TALENTED MYERS OMG.

1. BJ Novak! Ryan! Ryan's in this? ALRIGHT. FIRE GUY!

2. The only times I can stand Brad Pitt is when he's being Batshit Insane Pitt.

3. WHY is Eli Roth in this, exactly?

Because Quentin Tarantino is a nice person who does favors for his friends. Even if they are no good at the whole acting thing. Or the whole directing thing, come to think of it.

Eli agreed to do the gore effects for free if he could get a part

God, what a whore.

Valkyrie proved that plotting to kill natzis could be boring. This looks not boring and more smashy/stabby. I am fucking in.

At least:

1. It's not some goddamned re-imagining (no, it is NOT a remake of that other Italian flick)

2. No CW/WB/Disney/Nickelodeon trash are in the cast.

3. Cloris fucking Leachman.

This IS the movie of the year as far as I'm concerned.

Not that this will change anyone's opinion, but I'm loving that in the cast list:

Samuel L. Jackson - Narrator

Well, I didn't expect that. So when does Cleese come bursting through the wall in a cassock?

Yanno, it's funny. I generally enjoy Tarantino films (I probably misspelled that, but I've been drinking and frankly don't give a flying fuck), but I could care less about this one. Maybe I'll rent it?

On the other hand, every time I see Brad Pitt in Acting Mode, I'm reminded that I actually do like him, and that he probably isn't the ginormous douche I usually think he is.

I'm geeking the shit out with this. It's showing at the Melbourne International Film Festival in July; I'm thinking of flying the thousand kilometres there just to see it a month early.

Also, in defense of Eli Roth:

...I like Eli Roth.

Say what you will about the content of his films - and you have to admit, they're infinitely better than the fucking Saw series - the dude knows how to point a camera.

1. "bidness"
2. "Naaazi"
3. "sannich"

Sold.

Pretentious nerd watch: He referenced The Great Escape. I'm in.

It is embarrassing how on board with this I am. I mean, I thought Pitt was hot when he was playing a violent anarchist hallucination (Fight Club) when he was playing a gypsy bare knuckles boxer who didn't bathe (Snatch) and I can only assume that this will be a continuation of the "hot in a way that makes me kind of uncomfortable" series of films.

So, I'll be seeing this opening weekend. And I'll probably own the DVD, at some point.

1) That Brad Pitt may very well be the coolest motherfucker on the planet

Don't agree. That. accent. sucks.

Bring back Tyler Durden or The Pikey, and we'll talk about Brad Pitt being the coolest motherfucker.

Posted by: krza at June 22, 2009 11:37 PM

Brad Pitt = cool?

Anyway, this trailer is way better than the other one. It makes the movie seem less stupid. But I'm still not all that sold on it.

Although hearing Sam Jackson is narrating brings it up a couple notches. (Because he IS fucking cool)

I'll just wait for the Pajiba review to decide if I'll spend money on this.

Much as I like Tarantino's work (usually, anyway) this does give me a bad feeling it will be strong with the suck. Maybe wait for Netflix.

I can only hope we're into a trend of condensing world-famous wars into two-hour whirlwinds of abs and gore. Previously: 300 and Troy. At present: this offering. Next: Punic wars? maybe? please? Can we get some Hannibal up in here?

Or Actium. Yes, more of a battle than a war, but how badly do you want to see Marc Antony Tarzan-ing aboard Octavian's ship and pounding the shit out of him? Or perhaps Cleopatra impaling one of the Romans with a historically-inaccurate stiletto heel?

Posted by: Ling at June 23, 2009 9:09 AM

Obliiiiige him.

Still geeking out, hours later.

Posted by: Simon A at June 23, 2009 9:17 AM

i am totally missing where mike meyers appears in this trailer. some help?

Posted by: gem at June 23, 2009 10:25 AM

Gem - I didn't see myers at first either. Check the 1:30 point on the trailer.

Posted by: Handel at June 23, 2009 12:34 PM

Agreed, Genny. Pitt really is hottest when he's beating the shit out of people and dirty. Mmm mm mm mm mmmm.

Meanwhile, I wasn't really all that interested in this until I saw this trailer. It actually looks pretty damn good, and I include Roth in that. I love Tarantino, I think he makes a damn good flick, and what's more, I don't care what any of you think of me for it.

So there.

mmmmmm.....dirty Brad Pitt beating the shit out of Natzees then coming over to point his weinerschnitzel at me....mmmmmmm

I'll be under my desk...

Posted by: dammitjanet at June 23, 2009 12:54 PM

I also like Pitt's dirty thug genre best. I even had unclean thoughts about him when he was in Kalifornia. Also, his honey-bear stoner in True Romance was a golden moment in cinema.

"Mike Myers might just redeem the last few years of his career."

This is snark, right? It's supposed to be hi-fucking-lariously ironic, right?

Myers sounds AWFUL, I mean puke all over yourself awful. It's that same puketastically shitty faux scottish accent he used to pull during that awful SNL sketches about the store that only sold shit that was Scottish or made in Scotland.

Nice to know that Sam Levine finally got some work.
