QT's Glourious 'Inglourious Basterds' Posters

I think that, for the most part, people were stoked by what they saw in the trailer for Quentin Tarantino's new war movie, Inglourious Basterds last week. My only concern is Brad Pitt's preposterous southern accent, which is way too thick to take seriously. Maybe he doesn't have that much dialogue. Outside of that, it looks like video game level violence crashing down on a bunch of Nazis, and who isn't down for that, frankly? There's are two brand new posters for Basterds; the first is probably the most placid thing we'll see associated with the film, but it's very cool in its simplicity: This next poster is...uh...not as peaceful:

Brad Pitt only appears in 3 out of the 5 chapters of "...Basterds" and he's actually playing a hillbilly (that's how you spell it?) from southern USA, and as far as I know he was born and raised in that neck of the woods. So I don't think there's much accent there, maybe it was that particular scene where his character talks to the rest of his squad.

I was born maybe 90 miles from where Brad Pitt was born, grew up in either the same state or a bordering state, depending on when he moved to Missouri, and A) I have no regional accent, and B) Even if I did or he did, it wouldn't be that one.

If memory serves, the character Aldo Raine is from Tennessee, which is also not that accent. Pitt's dialect is just a put-on; there's nothing authentic about it at all.

Well, I think Pitt is turning in an over the top, Sam-Jackson-like performance. The kind QT goes into the bathroom and tugs over between takes.

This looks pretty good, but I wonder if Jackie Brown will always live as 'Tino's finest hour since the Resovoir Dogs/Pulp Fiction Beatles broke up.

...(or, finest 2.56 hrs to be literal).

Its an exploitation flick, who cares what the accents are like... its all in good fun.
