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 am so happy for his big-time success at the age of 52, as it's not entirely common. He's already flying out to Hollywood to play the villain in The Green Hornet, which I will see solely for him. Waltz is also surprisingly relaxed and level-headed about it all, too. We need more actors like him.

He was amazing. Like, it is ridiculously impossible to find the right balance between charming and truly evil. But he did. OH HE DID.

I haven't seen such a charismatic, fleshed-out villain like Landa in years. Heath Ledger's Joker comes close, but even then, I found him more exciting and appealing. Landa, however, disgusts me, yet makes me smile. I think it's due to the fact that Landa has basis in reality and didn't ever come off as over-the-top or campy; most actors substitute camp for charisma which prevents them from being truly terrifying.

I second every word you just said.
