Quentin Tarantino and Diane Kruger in the latest issue of New York Times Magazine. Photographes by Jean-Baptiste Mondino."If Quentin Tarantino’s latest cinematic opus has a direct inspiration, it’s surely Enzo G Castellari’s 1978 Italian war pic Quel Maledetto Treno Blindato (AKA That Damned Armoured Train), and released in America as – guess what? – Inglorious Bastards.
The film, along with other movies like The Dirty Dozen and Five For Hell, inspired a young Quentin Tarantino to make a men-on-a-mission pic back in the days when he was still just a video store employee.
The plot finds five American soldiers in World War Two being carted off to answer for various war crimes.
"This will be our “Inglorious Bastards!” he and his friends would laugh as they plotted fantasy versions of the film".Source: www.totalfilm.com

The Americans will never see this, so I don't know who will. It has no appeal, interest or connection to them. It was an unbankable money-loser investment from the beginning and shouldn't have been made from the start. Just plain dumb junk. Hollywood is such dead junk.
Welcome to Weirdland, Bulboda!
well, I don't know if you are American (American public use to express animadversion to Hollywood the most, curiously).
I think Tarantino can be a bit overrated, and I confess I haven't watched any of his Kill Bill saga yet, but I have to forgive his excesses thanks to gems as Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Natural Born Killers & True Romance's scripts, so I say please give "Inglorious Bastards" a chance :)
