Inglorious Basterds

Still chewing over whether to see this or not. On one hand, it looks like a ton of fun and ultraviolence set in my favourite historical period. On the other hand, it sounds like Tarantino is doing with his Jewish characters what I like doing with my Nazis characters: dropping them in the middle of their enemies and standing back to watch them fuck shit up. And unlike Tarantino I don't think they are worth writing up, and only partially because they are morally bankrupt and usually degenerate into bloody orgies with Mengele, Kroenen and OC Elena drenched head to foot in blood and giggling like maniacs, it's fun, it calms me down, but I doubt it would be much fun for anyone else. And Tarantino seems to have done basically that only with Jewish protagonists.

Which brings me onto my next point, which is that if I see it, my nazi characters will be out of their seats and violently attacking the screen before you can say Kristalnacht. There's been an onrunning fued between the nazi contingent and Erik, Charles, Mirek (with Johannes reluctantly roped in because even he's scared of them, despite being a nazi himself) over basic breathing rights, and since then have been banished to opposite ends of my brain and told that the first one to break that damn barrier is going to get fried. I am not having the Holocaust re-inacted with Mutant victims and Demonic perpretrators in my head, thank you. Last time it took down a lot of scenery and the other characters are getting sick of patching it up. WW3 in your own time please. Both sides are still stubbornly tring to break into each others enclosures, and if I watch IB, it's pretty much inevitable. I have far too many headaches before I decided to separate them, no more thank you. I don't like the idea of sitting in my cinema seat and having to grip the arms of the chair in order to keep from violently attacking myself and both sides take violent offence at what is happening on screen.

So yeah, maybe, cause I like Tarantino and and those buggers need to be taught to behave, goddam it, and I'm not letting some figments of my imagination take over. On the other, this may end up like another 'Man with the Iron Heart' that everyone else hates, and which I could do without.
