I really don't want to open up this can of worms again--although it is fun--but I found a fascinating NPR interview.

And yes, it's going to be a source in my paper.

Really interesting listen, although it doesn't have anything to do with the movie.

That is really fascinating. Thanks for the link.

I think it has some parallels (at least as far as my paper is concerned). I mean at one point they almost optioned her father's book so I'd say it was fairly relevant to the subject of the film.

It parallels for sure. I just mean that the fact that IB is not historical is not a problem with the film as has been said before. It is in no way trying to be historical.

I just bought the bluray and am going through some of the extra features.  It's a power house of bonus features.

I just picked up the bluray too. I wish the Alliance wasn't so stupid and just used the same cover art as the American release.

trying to get this via Netflix.... but that whole program has sucked the last 3 months... you can't get ANY new release for atleast 2 months.... they need to increase movie volume or offer more streaming

I picked up the DVD today.  I'm a little disappointed.  I appreciate the "round table discussion" with Tarantino and Pitt, but I think an audio commentary would have been better.

Inglourious Basterds is a great looking movie.  "Beauty" isn't a word that comes to mind when I think about Tarantino. Usually I think about dialogue, music, and of course, violence.  But I'm watching this DVD right now, and my overall impression is that each scene is beautiful to just look at.

I feel the same way re: wanting a commentary. Definitely would have been a bonus.  Tarantino won't do commentaries for his own films.  I don't know why not.  However,  he will do them for other film makers/friends' films (i.e. Hot Fuzz).   He did do one for True Romance though (not his since Tony Scott directed).  His commentaries are a treat.  They come off as  mini-film classes.  His breadth of film knowledge is awesome.

Really?  I did not know that.  I would totally rent a DVD just to listen to Tarantino's commentary.
