Some people (might I add, no one in particular) would find it odd that a “scary” guy like Eli Roth actually has parents and wasn’t created by some mad scientist seeking to create the ultimate writer/director/actor/fruit-humping/hair-product-abusing hybrid. To put that little rumour to rest, Eli does in fact have two parents, Cora and Sheldon Roth, who visited the Inglourious Basterds set last year and got to hang a bit with those two righteous dudes, Adolf Hitler (Martin Wuttke) and Joseph Goebbels (Sylvester Groth). Although, I’m not sure whether this photo (from Twitpic) was taken before or after Quentin Tarantino jokingly announced that it was Cora and Sheldon’s birthday, which just happened to lead to a bizarre rendition of “Happy Birthday” by the Nazi regime. Regardless of that little detail, Eli has been warming up his Twitter page (slightly too much at times) and, of late, engaged in some lovely Nazi-bashing, including a bit about sharing a trailer with Hitler: “Every time I heard his toilet flush I’d bang the wall and yell “Hitler, quit gassing the Jews already!’” Oh, such levity.
