Inglorious all right

Inglorious Basterds -- Plot and Duck watched it last night and -- well, it's entertaining for the most part but is this the best Tarantino can do at the end?

Plot knows how difficult it is to write good endings, but with the best people in Hollywood at his disposal, and all the money in the world -- this is the best he can come up with?

And nominated for Best Picture of the Year?

People claim I.B. is the very best Tarantino movie since Pulp Fiction, and maybe that's true, but Pulp Fiction is one of the best films of the decade, of any decade, and this one is so light it is already flying away.

Brad Pitt is good and Christoph Waltz is a Nazi whose forehead will look great with a swastika carved into it and you can't wait to watch him get it. Great, tense opening scene at the farmhouse.

Is Plotnik missing something? Was there some message going on that went right over his and Duck's heads?

Maybe it's just Nazis. Hollywood loves to keep killing Nazis. Nazis are the last enemies it's still politically correct to dismember. Maybe that's it.
