It's a GQ Motherfuckers party game.

Everyone is utterly brilliant in this scene. Spoiler-free, so if you've not seen Inglourious Basterds yet, you can still watch it. And I suggest you do:


Wicki's card reads Brigitte Helm; she was a talented German actress well-known for her role as Maria in Fritz Lang's masterpiece Metropolis.

Keep in mind that Hitler was a fan of Fritz Lang's work and King Kong was one of his other favorites, as well. It must also be noted that Giorgio Moroder made his own tribute to Metropolis by adding color tinting, previously missing scenes, and a score which included the likes of Freddie Mercuruy (the video for Radio GaGa is based off of Metropolis) and Adam Ant, amongst others. Moroder was also the composer of the soundtrack for Cat People, and its theme sung by David Bowie was used to great effect in Inglourious Basterds.

August was just wonderful as Major Hellstrom, wasn't he? I love how he drags out the 't' at the end of 'orient'.

I'm terribly in love all of the cast, primarily Mélanie, Diane (not even Matthew could make me change my layout), Daniel, and Fassbender (who needs to gay it up with Matthew). I know that many critics have analyzed Tarantino's meaning behind the film, but he said point-blank, that it's about killing Nazis and cannot understand how his film is cruel to them. He purposely made some of them sympathetic, to point out that German =/= Nazi and made the rest of them 3-dimensional which is practically unheard of in the majority of war films. QT was just tired of WWII and Holocaust films having someone else bravely come in to rescue the Jews and he's knows it's historically inaccurate, but he wanted to change the general concept/structure of war films.

I've been a fan of QT for years, and I LOVE how he writes women; he and James Cameron are the only modern male directors to write powerful women who are also both human and relatable. And IB turned me into an idiot, as I've joined nearly every IB community on LJ, started one of my own, and now write fan fiction (which is okay, as Eli has come out and said that he and QT read the IB fan fiction on LJ).

Matthew's mere presence in that bar would've caused Hellstrom to have a stroke due to the fact that the finest specimen in human history is non-Aryan and British.

Oh, I think the problem was more that people feel he didn't take it seriously. And I'm like "ahem... for QT... this is very serious. And also bonkers. But he can't help that."

There are two (or more) sides to all these points, though, and I've had fun arguing with detractors of the film.

They read the fanfiction? How... terrifying.

Matthew's mere presence in that bar would've caused Hellstrom to have a stroke due to the fact that the finest specimen in human history is non-Aryan and British.

Oh dear god I now really, really want to watch his head explode as he realises not only that but also that this fine specimen is spending most nights tied to the bed of a Mr Fassbender. Rawr.

Ahem... sorry about that last bit...

I can see how people would think that, but reading interviews with QT, he had the best of intentions; he even went to Passover at Eli's house as a part of his research and writing process.

More than that, they read the fanfiction porn. QT replied with, "Donny is not a bottom!"

Do not apologize for that last bit, as it is beautiful. Have some Fassy for it:

See? He's considering it.

When I was in the hospital waiting for my surgery, my parents brought by August's GQ, which had a fashion spread featuring Fassbender in a variety of suits. It was quite nice, to say the least.

I don't doubt it. I rather love QT, mad bastard that he is.

"Donny is not a bottom!" = best reaction to slash fiction since... ever.

Oooh, he looks nice.

Eli is pretty much QT's life-partner these days, so he'd know his preferences. Seriously though, I love that they're enthusiastic about the fan response to their film and characters, as most actors and directors would probably start crying.

Hellstrom needs some action too:

I... I read that first sentence, about being life partners and knowing each others preferences, and my first thought was... "that could be hot."

Kill me. Do it now.

Preferably while I stand here hypnotised by your gif. Where is that from? And hell yes, Hellstrom needs some loving. That boy is made of unsatisfied sexual tension.

Love In Thoughts (Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken), starring August Diehl, Daniel, andThure Lindhardt (the blonde August is sucking face with). August and Daniel are friends and Daniel is in love with August's sister and August is in love with Thure, who plays the boyfriend of August's sister.
It's an unhappy situation, but so very beautiful to watch and listen to.

QT and Roth as a doddering old couple have old people arguments and owning a bunch of cats amuses me.

Was nutzt die liebe in gedanken!!!=D

Aw, I find Thure's tooth-gap charming ♥

Was nützt die Liebe in Gedanken was such a beautiful, heartbreaking film. Daniel was lovely, but I found August to be particularly gorgeous. I know the film was based on fact, thus they wanted to stay true to reality, but I wanted Günther to be happy and Paul to realize that there were women out there who were better than Hilde (especially Elli, I loved her, too!).
