My friend Sonic Charmer sent this comment over to me in an email a little earlier today. I thought I'd post it in light of all the other commentary thus far. (I was going to see it tonight, but I cracked a tooth, and I'm not in a very good mood right now):
- Buy Culturist John's Latest Book !!
In dramatic fiction Prison Wars illustrates the death of society when it contradicts culturist principles. Watch as charismatic pop spiritualists become social terrorists. Thrill as men’s desires drive society off the cliff. Scream...
- Tarantino's Anti-semitic Inglorious Basterds
Joy o' Joy. This post should anger some of you!!! Enjoy, but know that some plot twists get given away herein. Quentin Tarantino’s new film, Inglorious Basterds, has been hailed for helping to improve the image of Jews. Instead of being victims,...
- Basterds
Um. . . Hmm. . . Ok. It's a film by Tarantino. And although I have not seen a great many of his movies maybe I should have kept that in mind. Or maybe, having seen both Defiance and Valkyrie in the very recent past, I should have altered my expectations....
- Inglourius Basterds
I've always enjoyed WW2 films. I never tire of watching the Nazis get defeated at the hands of freedom. But this film takes that idea to the hilt. The first trailer of Quentin Tarantino's latest film, which stars Brad Pitt as a Nazi-killing commander,...
- Infidel Hunk Of The Week
I have searched and searched my mind for an appropriate hunk to go along with the early 80s Phoebe Cates Babe, and I can't think of a thing in terms of guys I liked at that time that wouldn't earn me some BIG laughs nowadays. So unless you guys...

A Comment From A Friend of Mine Who Has Seen Inglorious Basterds
My friend Sonic Charmer sent this comment over to me in an email a little earlier today. I thought I'd post it in light of all the other commentary thus far. (I was going to see it tonight, but I cracked a tooth, and I'm not in a very good mood right now):
I think we had talked briefly about Inglorious Basterds and that you were looking forward to see it. (more so than I, in fact)
Do. It is fucking awesome. I think you will like it (if you haven't already seen it of course).
Actually I was almost crying at the end (not really but there was welling). It was mind-blowing.
I had this, like, 68 year old Jewish couple sitting next to me. In fact, the theater was packed with older gray-haired couples. And this old dude, who was hacking up phlegm half the movie, he and his wife were cheering and going "woo yeah!" at the climactic Nazi-blowing-up scene.
Just unbelievable. Quentin Tarantino did that. I don't even know what else to say about it.
To me the only way to illustrate it is that it's like Tarantino's "Star Wars". That's the vibe I got from it. I can't even explain why except in little tidbits (like, Star Wars rewrote history too, in a sense; Tarantino's bad-guy entries are reminiscent of Darth Vader, etc). But it's also obviously got bits and chunks of every other cool movie.
I just wanted to get on the record as seeing a Star Wars connection. You know, in case that catches on in Film Schools or something. Then I could possibly be the first to have said it.
