It came as no surprise to us, that none other than Bo Svenson had a cameo appearance in Quentin Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds. Not only was Bo Svenson the star of Enzo Castellari‘s Inglorious Bastards, he’s also a living legend and has had a cameo appearance in Kill Bill as Reverend Harmony. We talked to Bo a few years back (read our interview here) and over the years I from time to time tried to …

What an evening. Hopes were high, excitement big. Inglourious Basterds was nominated for 8 Academy Awards, and each of them well deserved. The evening started out with no surprise neither: Christoph Waltz took home the golden statuette for his role as Col Hans Landa of the SS. A great speech. But the rest of the evening was a series of disappointments, when it turned out that Christoph’s would be the only Oscar the Basterds …

Did you place your bets? Inglourious Basterds WILL WIN tonight, fact. And if it’s only to cement the mash-up revival in popular culture (read an article here). But let me give you a rundown on some things that might interest you:
There are some rumors about a possible fake trailer Quentin will direct this month called Agent Orange, which will be attached to Robert Rodriguez‘ Machete. Read more here. RUMORS only, if you know something, …

Inglourious Basterds (read 10 facts about the films here) winning big at the Academy Awards is still little over a week away (read here why it will win), but Monsieur Tarantino is making some space on his bookshelf for the little Oscar fella (even though in an interview he says he things Ms Bigelow should win the best director award), I’m very sure. Christoph Waltz has so many awards for his role as Hans …

Have you ever wondered what it would look like if Quentin Tarantino directed the Super Bowl (which the Saints so glouriously won yesterday; for the record: The Who rocked the fucking house)? Probably not! But still, check out this video (link).
If you’re in Hollywood, always be on the look out for really nice stuff  like this down at the Egyptian theater…
Iconoclastic filmmaker Quentin Tarantino, hot off earning Oscar nominations Tuesday for best director …

The Oscar nominations have been announced, and Inglourious Basterds got 8 Academy Award nominations! Congratulations you Basterds! And the nominees are….  Best Picture; Best Director (QT); Best Supporting Actor (Christoph Waltz); Best Original Screenplay; Best Sound Editing (Wylie Stateman); Best Sound Mixing (Michael Minkler, Tony Lamberti and Mark Ulano); Best Cinematography (Robert Richardson); Best Film Editing (Sally Menke)! What do you think will it take home all eight? Post below! And did you know …

We’re not sure where this rumor came from just now, but it’s all over the net and it sais Quentin wants Hellen Mirren (remember herr in Caligula?) to star in a movie of his. I have zero ideas what that might be (via MC). But on to more factual news. Inglourious Basterds took home two SAG (Screen Actor’s Guild) awards last night, one goes to – whoe else – Chris Waltz for outstanding supporting …

But it goes to the Jewhunter. Christoph Walz continues his amazing series of awards and takes home the trophy. Basterds lost out in the director, movie and screenplay categories. We think Avatar should have only allowed to compete in the animated film category. Yes the lines are blurred as technology advances, but as impressive and entertaining Avatar was, with that amount of money and that technology, it’s pretty much not surprising or exceptional. There’s …

Auszug der Rezension: George Seeßlen ist ein mit-Autor des wohl Tarantino Standardwerks (deutscher Sprache wohlgemerkt), das schon mehrere Neuauflagen hinter sich hat, und im Moment vergriffen ist. Mit “QT gegen die Nazis” wagt er einen Taschenbuch-Rundumschlag. “Alles über Inglourious Basterds” verspricht das Büchlein, das fast zeitgleich mit dem Film in die deutschen Kinos kommt. Quentin Tarantinos lange erwartetes Werk das im Zweiten Weltkrieg spielt (aber nicht von ihm handelt), ist wie alle anderen Filme …

Recently, I’ve come to realize that unless I post a tiny news entry about everything that comes into my inbox, I end up with posts like this one. But I can’t help it, a blog isn’t a Twitter feed. Check out this article where Tarantino talks about violence (article), this one where he wants to be like Howard Hawks (article), or this one where he talks about Vinnie Jones who is with Celebrity Big …

(Instructions on how to win a copy of the Inglourious Basterds screenplay on paperback at the end of this article.)
Inglourious Basterds is being talked up more and more as THE oscar contender (source and here), and the LA Times seems to be on a real campaign to convince the readers of that (here and here). My prediction is that the movie will win a few awards, I’m just not sure if it will be …

So it’s almost christmas, you Inglourious Basterds out there, and this glourious year is coming to an end. I’ve been a bit slow in my news posting, so here’s another round-up of things that happened since the last one. This will be the last post before the new year probably, so make sure you follow us closely on Twitter (www.twitter.com/QTArchives) as I will update that more regularly than the Frontpage here. Also join our …

The Weinstein Company rocked the Golden Globe Awards with no less than 12 nominations (Variety), four of them for Inglourious Basterds, including best movie, best director, best screenplay and best supporting actor (you know who). Additionally, the already mentioned 10 nominations at the Critic’s Choice awards (see Guardian), with best picture, best supporting Waltz, best ensemble, best director, best screenplay, best cinematography (Robert Richardson), best art direction, editing (Sally Menke) and costume design. And …

As we’re deep into the Oscars season, speculation heats about about Inglourious Basterds‘ chances of taking home one or more of the shiny little golden oscar statues. The Academy has increased the number of nominees from 5 to 10, which makes things a little more complicated, and absent a blockbuster that would unanimously be considered “the thing” (think a movie along the lines of Forrest Gump, which snatched it from Pulp Fiction in ’95, …

That’s a bingo! Ladies and gents, the year is coming to an end faster than some poor Nazi that you would put in front of the Bear Jew. It’s December dear readers and as if Inglourious Basterds only came out yesterday, there’s tons of shit to check out. I’ll run through the goodies with you really quick to get to the main topic of today’s discussion, which is the release of that movie on …

Life keeps me busy, but here’s a little rundown in case you missed out on a few stories. We’ll also do a few cool things pretty soon that involve giving away some DVDs and all that, so make sure you check back daily. Also don’t forget to dive into our Archive or/and Community and exchange ideas with fans from all over the globe!
MTV has an interview with Quentin Tarantino looking back on this great …

No end in sight, my friends, Basterds is going wild in Japan. Check out this article, Tarantino returns to grind up Nazis in the Japan Times and a 3-star  review in the same paper. What’s even more interesting, is Quentin’s role in a Japanese commercial for the SoftBank cellular company (Examiner). Quentin plays Uncle Tara-Chan in what is actually a commercial-series called the “White Family”. Preview clips have already surfaced on the net and …

Inglourious Basterds has finally hit Japan, and it hit hard. Here are a few pictures from the premiere. Click here also for posters. The film premiered in the capital Tokyo with Quentin Tarantino, Melanie Laurent, Julie Dreyfus and a raggedy-bearded Brad Pitt in attendance. According to Boxofficemojo.com, the movie has made quite an enormous amount of box-office box internationally, yet their tally of numbers seems far from complete. The Weinstein Company and Universal Pictures …

To make this really quick, Inglourious Basterds will hit BluRay and DVD (as stated a few times already) before christmas (and after christmas in some countries). We have started compiling a list of all BluRay releases and a separate list of all DVD releases. Please note that these lists are still subject to change, as various Amazons correct the cover image and different version they get from the distributors. The movie will mostly be …

Now is the time! To celebrate the visual relaunch of our Frontpage (please post your comments), and the impending relaunches of our Community and Archives (which will yet take a while), we are giving away TWO of the Original Quentin Tarantino Inglourious Basterds Crew Jackets! These are the winter jackets exlusively made for the Inglourious Basterds crew by the Studio Babelsberg and fashion label s.Oliver, complete with Inglourious Basterds stiching and Quentin Tarantino’s name …

I was surprised to see not one, not two, but three Tarantino-related entries at Variety. The first is about classic Tarantino quotes, the second is a tiny one about how lots of projects that are being tagged with Tarantino’s name never get made (or in a different way), if you ask me, not a Variety highlight. The third is about how many have tried to be Tarantino, which is a great companion piece to …

Basterds is still making money like crazy (Source: ABC) and it’s still keeping columnists busy (this one: click; still gets the name wrong and some other things, but it’s a good read). At the same time, the BluRay and DVD release definitely seems to be going down before christmas (Source), so we are now trying to keep our Basterds DVD and BluRay overview page updated as much as possible. Stay tuned!
UPDATE: Yes, to the …

It’s link friday! While I’m freezing my butt off here, people elsewhere may still be enjoying Inglourious Basterds in theaters, can that be true? Anyway, here are a few links that caught my eye recently, for you to read to bridge the time until we’ll give away some of those official Basterds crew jackets. Hush! Did I say something?

Short piece in the Hollywood Reporter about what might be …

Just when I tried to calm things down in me previous post, which some might’ve considered as some sort of a rant against those Kill Bill Vol3 stories, more “new Tarantino movie” rumors are popping up. By way of our friend Rama at Rama’s Screen (a movie blog you can’t not read daily!), we heard that Quentin mentioned to Variety, that whatever he does between now and Kill Bill Volume 3 (if he does …
