Have you read the script White.
It is actually possible that the film may be seperated into 2 parts, because the script actually is seperated into 2 parts as well, but i guess we will have to wait and see.
The script is very graphic, the family of Shosanna are executed via firing squad while hiding under the floorboards.

Actually Gumperman, the film is actually titled and spelt
'Inglorious Basterds'
It's the poster that has it spelt wrong, not the websites.
Well that's the way it is also spelt on the final script draft.

it was after everything had gone off the screen. Then it came up. I had to try real hard to keep her in there, cause she was getting a little restless.

Also QT stated in 2008 that he had finsihed 'Inglorious Basterds' and that the movie would be coming out by the time Cannes Film Festival 2009 comes around.
Well the film is primerering at Cannes 2009

I'm surprised this is even coming out in '09. It seems like his movie spans are like several years apart, but his last movie, Death Proof, was just two years ago. I hope by directing a movie this soon, he'll still be on top of his game. And i hope he is, for being my 2nd best director in the world.

Well, friend i went with my, now pronounced fiance. It was a little set up to propose. She really wanted to see the movie, and my father is the manager there. I asked him after the credits to put up the sign,"Will you marry me?" I worked out wonderfully by the way. but i hated the film though and almost felt like asking her before the movie went off because i just hated it. But J.A. i never said i hated any genre's others than action and horror. Those two are just the real ones i mess with and keep and my collection. I rented the Notebook and enjoyed, but i wouldn't keep it as a collection. Just not my thing. Also, i enjoyed Forrest Gump too, and i did see some similarities, but i still disliked the movie.

Erm Killerman are you talking about Brad Pitt having a terrible performance in 'The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button.'
Truthfully and honestly your only simply-minded to the genre of horror, i can hardly see yourself giving a drama like 'CCoBB' a positive review.
Both the director (David Fincher) and screenwriter (Eric Roth) have good previous films directed and written and the original story is pretty neat considering it was written in 1921.
But people have stated that it is very similar to that of 'Forrest Gump,' well so a few friends have told me, little do they know the same screenwriter that wrote 'Forrest Gump' wrote the script to 'CCoBB' as well.
And well Rotten Tomatoes also differs from your opinion as well, it got a 73% fresh rating, maybe you don't like the technicalls of David Fincher's auteurism or that it's just not your genre.
But i doubt Pitt's performance is so bad that he has been nominated for 4 awards including a Golden Globe.
But to each their own perspective

SWEET
This film is awesome, well the script is awesome, and well i have high expectations for this film since QT has been writing it since he worked on Pulp Fiction.
HAHA the script is funny though, the only problemo is that there is dialogue in German with no subtitles for approx 3 mins, well that is according to the script.
But its pretty aced up dialogue lol especially when Col. Landa aka 'The Jew Hunter' compares a jew to a rat through a metaphor, haha.
"We're gonna be dropped into France, dressed as civillians.
And once we're in the enemy territory, as a bushwhackin,
guerrilla army, we're gonna be doing one thing and one thing only.
KILLING NAZIS!"

glad to hear. But having second thoughts about Pitt. I think he will ruin this movie. I just saw CCoBB. Terrible performance. Really, the only good performances were Interview with the Vampire and Fight club. They should have brought in John Travolta. He would've been a great addition.
