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 just remember thinking "OMG! Hellstrom is going to ruin everything, and they're all going to die!" Hee, and I was right.

I've still only seen the movie once. :|

That scene had me entirely on edge. I also took my parents to see it as they had an interest and are both QT fans; my mom gasped in the theater and got upset when Archie ordered the whiskey. She also yelled out, "Kick him with your cast!" when Landa was choking Bridget. Then she cringed and covered her eyes when he got his forehead carved up.

To be fair, I didn't have medical bills to pay off at that point, so I gladly threw my money at Tarantino. Films in general are my one indulgence.

I'd gladly spend the $ to see it again and again, it's just not a movie my kids can see and I've had trouble finding a sitter. :) It's still in town, so I'm hoping maybe in the next few days I can find a way.

Well, if you don't want to psychologically damage your children...

One of my aunts used to look after my brother and I when were little and she had the brilliant idea of putting on Child's Play. I hid under the coffee table and cried the entire time.

It'll be fun when they're old enough to both watch and appreciate films such as IB so you can then watch them together (or at least that's what happened with my dad and I)
