Inglorious Basterds: a "colossal armour-plated turkey from hell".

Wow. I thought it would at least be entertaining.

It's funny too because this has been Quentin's dream project for years, and he's often mentioned in interviews that most director's careers wreck on their dream project.

Most of the reviews I've seen about it have been lukewarm. That was the first overtly hostile review I've seen.

I thought the previews looked absolutely godawful, but that's the first review I've seen.

I found the trailer perplexing. And damn, does Brad Pitt look old. He deages pretty well, for things like Benjamin Button. But he's had those lines forever.

But he's had those lines forever.

That's what he gets for walking around Africa saving little kids. Hey, Guero! SPF a thousand!

Also Jujitsu. And after someone showed off strength by tying a Poker into a knot, Holmes demonstrated his own stregnth by UNknotting it. So not just athletic, but freakishly strong. In short, a superhero.

Pedantry: Baritsu (or bartitsu). And there wasn't any knot-tying. Roylott bent the poker; Holmes straightened it out.

He had a little help there.

In any case, "baritsu" was considered to be too esoteric by Conan Doyle’s American editors, who further added to the confusion by substituting the word "jiujitsu" in the American editions of the story.

Loves my pedantic Holmes brethren and sistren.

So they're remaking Footloose. I bet they don't come back to Utah. For one thing, the mill they used is now smack dab in the middle of a strip mall, and the small town of Lehi has been suburbanized like whoa.

Still, it feels like a snub. I wonder if they'll recreate Hubby's role of Man Sleeping in Council Meeting/Man Sleeping in Church.
