Aldo and Hans discuss Tarantino's latest masterpiece


KK:  WOW!  Talk about reinvention!  How ‘bout the movie Inglorious Basterds?  We don’t want to give away the ending, but it takes guts to tell a factual story and just end it the way you want to, doesn’t it, Sal?  But, then again, that’s what James Frey did with the book, “A Million Little Pieces.”  And, I loved that book almost as much as Inglorious Basterds.

SalGal: This may sound really bad….but, I wish there was a gang of inglorious basterds right now who could go into Afganistan and Pakistan and just clean out the Taliban - once and for all!!  I think that’s what it would take.  And they could do it, too.  They could infiltrate the caves dressed as women covered in burkas.  Nyuck, nyuck…what irony.

KK: And, how much do we love Quentin Tarantino’s use of female protagonistas in his movies.  He must have had one strong-ass mother whom he adored, because he gives GREAT woman on film!  Look at all the Kill Bill films.  Uma Thurman was an AMAZING woman.  Okay, so she was a killer, but hey…she was AWESOME at her job, and so were the women in Inglorious Basterds.

SalGal: His women characters rock.  I want to be in one of his movies where I can plan conspiracies and do murder and stuff.  I’m inspired.

KK:  Quentin Tarantino is crazy brilliant, is he not? 

SalGal: Quentin Tarantino is a f@#*king MONSTER!  And I mean that in a good way.

KK:  And, to look like that!  He could use a few acting lessons himself, which is why we were thrilled to see that he wisely chose to give the lead to Brad Pitt instead of taking it for himself, which was his original intention.  I don’t see ANYone else as Aldo Raine.  Well, you all just have to RUN right out and see this movie.  It’s a skosh on the bloody, violent side, but it wouldn’t be a Quentin Tarantino movie were there no bloody messes.

SalGal: Well, you know me, KK, I sort of like bloody messes.   Give me that flashy trash where good guys and inglorious bitches mercilessly humiliate and pulverize the evil guys.  I love it.  I don’t  know why I’m like this.  Maybe I should try to reinvent myself and be the kind, gentle, forgiving and sheepish SalGal.

Naaah.

Why did Quentin Tarantino cast Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine

  • Because he was smart enough to have taken himself out of the running
  • Because Brad IS Aldo Raine!
