Here, courtesy of a grab posted this morning by New York/"Vulture", is the official logo for Quentin Tarantino's absurdist-mannerist-ironic hip cheeseball war dramedy, debuting in Cannes in May and opening in the U.S. on 8.21.

From my Basterds script review that ran on 7.11.08: "It is absolutely the most inauthetic, bullshit-spewing World War II movie that anyone's ever written. And I love it, love it, love it for that. Every other line is a howl or a chortle. It almost could have been written by some 15 year-old suburban kid who used to play pretend WWII games with his friends when they were 10 or 11. Four or five times I literally laughed out loud, and that's rare for me. And every scene is pure popcorn, pure shit-kickin' Quentin, pure movie poontang."

Note: Apologies for the disappearance of this and other stories earlier today.

Looks like a deleted scene you'd find on the Benjamin Button director's cut.

That doesn't even make any sense.

What does make sense is that DZ was first to post on this thread.

You really are an idiot. But I'll give you credit, you always find a way to top yourself.

Maybe I'm in the minority but I'm just not looking forward to this film. While I think the action scenes will be good I think Tarantino has regressed as a screenwriter. He's actually a better director now than he is a writer.
