Hey, motherfuckers. I might look like a bitch, and, yes, I’m a few days late on this one, but I hesitated to launch into Tarantino fangirl mode until much later in the game because the whine & cheese crowd always complains when I do so. At the moment, however, I just don’t give a rat’s ass. So, here we go, motherfuckers. The Weinstein Co. sent out a press release that I’ve excerpted below:

Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds (sic) began principal photography last week on location in Germany. The ensemble cast of Inglourious Basterds includes Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Mélanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz, Daniel Brühl, Eli Roth, Samm Levine, B.J. Novak, Til Schweiger [slurp!], Gedeon Burkhard, Paul Rust, Michael Bacall, Omar Doom, Sylvester Groth, Julie Dreyfus, Jacky Ido, August Diehl, Martin Wuttke, Richard Sammel, Christian Berkel, Sönke Möhring, Michael Fassbender, Mike Myers, Rod Taylor, Denis Menochet and Cloris Leachman.

Let that last name sink in a few moments, if you will. Also, do notice that Tarantino has intentionally left his so-called “misspellings” intact, which his publicists attribute to “one of those Tarantino-esque things.” Oh, that’s just lovely. More than enough smartass film “critics” just had to make a big deal out of these spelling “errors,” and now QT has to make his point well known. Didn’t I warn you motherfuckers of this? One day, you’ll actually listen, but on with a refreshed plot summary:

Inglourious Basterds begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus (Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema.

Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich. Fates converge under a cinema marquee, where Shosanna is poised to carry out a revenge plan of her own…

Any Tarantino fans probably already know this stuff, but since there really isn’t any real news (other than a handful of set piccies) to report as of yet, motherfuckers, you can just deal with it.
