Inglourious Basterds

With respect to The Secret In Their Eyes, Quentin Tarantino's masterpiece (?) was the best foreign-language film of 2009. It was probably the best film of 2009, period. This 158th helping of Next 100 Project talkiness is a thorough dive into this weirdly excellent movie, but we sure didn’t cover everything. The layers! Brad Pitt, Melanie Laurent, Christoph Waltz (we had trouble pronouncing his name properly) and a wonderful supporting cast elevate QT's one-of-a-kind screenplay. He's been called a rip-off artist, but his talent for creating satisfying revisionist history (not to mention revenge…always revenge with this guy) is something that no rip-off artist could do on their best day. The man is such an original. So enjoy his newest, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, later this week, but first make sure to devour all 67 minutes of this episode. Also, there are several corrections on www.top100project.com, so check those out if you're fuming about our foul-ups. Sparkplug Coffee, anyone? You need it, you want it.
