You Basterd!

Quentin Tarantino is back and he’s aiming his movie making crosshairs at the always entertaining subject of World War II. His new movie “Inglorious Basterds” is about a select group of Jewish-American soldiers in Nazi occupied France during World War II. This specialized unit is meant to spread fear throughout the Third Reich by brutally killing Nazi soldiers via dismemberment and scalping. The film, which stars Brad Pitt, Eli Roth, Sam Levine (Freaks and Geeks) and B.J. Novak (The Office), looks like it is going to be another classic Tarantino bloodbath with a whole lot of dead Nazis and a little Mel Brooks Nazi parody (Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein Nein!)

However, I’m most excited about the cast. You don’t really see a lot of movies with badass Jewish characters, so I’m looking forward to some cinematic retribution for all the Sol Nazermans and Rabbi Loews we’ve seen in the past. Of course with a bunch of Jews running around disfiguring Nazis, it could also totally play into the evil conniving Jewish stereotype. Either way, I just want to see someone get their face smashed in with a baseball bat. Here’s the trailer!
