Brad Pitt is Officially an Inglorious Bastard

i’ve just read everything you wrote but what has all of it got to do with brad pitt, quentin tarantino, and the film they are doing?? while it was interesting and all that i have to tell you that i thought the main focus of this forum would be on brad pitt. but thank you anyway; now i dont have to bother going on line to read the sunday times, the new york times or whatever.

Too funny. I glad you read the articles. I try to bring something extra to the threads. Make it Right is BP’s project in New Orleans. I like to keep the fans updated on its progress. Not on Our watch is also an organization founded by BP and Clooney. I like to emphasis their humanitarian work. However, keep reading, because I will keep updating. Diversify is good. It is not always about hair and casual style. Peace to ya.

….brad - might be good… but the movie…uh, probably wont.
==-=-=–=

I think it’s funny that people think he’s a good actor. He plays brad pitt every time. He makes a lot of hand gestures to distract from the horrible acting.

Speak of the devil…whew!…while I was away at lunch, I saw a lady who was the spittin image of Sam Jackson in pulp fiction…hahaha…wtf!…hahaha…from now and forevah, anybody with a bad wig will be called pulp fiction…hahahahahaha

good morning to all of the BAMPZSKV fans. I hope everyone is enjoying their Friday. So much good news from the JP camp. Trolls and haters no know peace.

Hey Nelah, you are sweet.

dragonfly, ITAWY. And piper with a low you were thinking the samething I was thinking. I said the View has been off all week therefore we haven’t heard any comments from them.

But this morning on CNN’ American Morning they had some man who called himself a comic and was there to comment on the week in pop. This man was so gross, stupidly vulgar he made DL Hugly look refreshingly smart. He had a really gross comment about Paris Hilton.

Then he was asked about Brad and Angie. He was insulting to the children and not funny. You know you are not funny when the only person laughing at your jokes is you. He wasn’t laughing as much as looking for approval from the anchors. He has shot his wad and will probably never be invited back. I was embarrassed. Not for him just embarrassed.

Piper, I never really watched the View that much. All of that talking over each other drove me crazy. I sort of watch it just for the hot topics. But Elizebeth drives me crazy. And Meredith Viera when she was on always seemed to be rather cold. Even on the Today Show she seems like a rather cold and distant person. Of course she would not care for AJ. AJ is everything she isn’t. X would be more her cup of tea.

When some people are confronted with beauty that is natural, no make up, no plastic surgery, no props it is difficult for them to comprehend and accept. Especially in HW where most things are artificial and false.

It is the same with love. When confronted with love that is not contrived or based on some false pr gimmik, and it just leaps out at you this can be rather disconcerting. This is not what was expected. The mind wants to deny that it is real. And the senses try not to feel what they are feeling.

To deal with this confluence of unexpected emotions one becomes cynical and supposes that it is not real. Because that much naturalness, warmth, joy and beauty couldn’t exist in one family. But he doesn’t understand is that he is talking about the joliepitt family. Joy to the joliepitts. Peace

So tonight I sat down and finally watched a film I’d been meaning to get to for some time — Paul Verhoeven’s superior 2006 WWII drama BLACK BOOK. It’s the best work Verhoeven has done in years and hearkens back to the beginnings of his career, when he made the exceptional SOLDIER OF ORANGE.

But as I watched, I began to see some strangely familiar things, and I found myself unsettled. Having read QT’s INGLORIOUS ******** script a while back, I realized that QT has not only seen this film, but that’s he’s blatantly stolen nearly all of its major plot points and central characters. While QT’s always been known to borrow, this edges on outright plagiarism.

Here are the highlights (and there are plenty more):

• Jewish girl on the run from the Nazis escapes by the skin of her teeth after witnessing her family’s brutal murders.

• Her family machine gunned down by Nazis led by an evil Jew Hunter named Günther (Landa).

• She accidentally gets entangled with an SS Officer who is connected with higher up Nazis and, coincidentally, Günther…

• She uses her relationship with the SS Officer to help plan a sabotage with her gang of resistance fighters.

• She attends a big party with the very man who killed her family.

• She throws up after seeing Günther the man who killed her family. (Shoshana pisses herself)

• She has her true love Hans (Marcel), but finds a strange affinity for the SS Officer Müntz…

• Günther (Landa) plans his selfish escape, deserting the Nazis. His plan is ruined by the resistance. (Just like Landa’s gift from Aldo.)

As shown, the similarities are too striking to be ignored — the specifics speak for themselves. BLACK BOOK was released in 2006, a full two years before QT’s IB script hit the market, and though he’s become fond of saying that he’s had the script in mind for over a decade, it’s perfectly clear that the bulk of it was written after seeing Verhoeven’s exceptional film.

I really hope someone somewhere someday calls him on this.

:lol: Oh I forgot you’re gay for Tom and Brad.

yeah, Brad’s Tree of Life and IB will go to Cannes Film Festival next year. We will see them rock the red carpet of Cannes.

I’m sure he going to be great in that character, does anyone know how much they’re paying him?

DEAD CENTRAL, you need to get your information to the press all over! Send it to lots of papers, if it is true, this is a scandal! But you better have this accusation backed up!

Plagiarism in films is nothing new; the movies are full of it. Take a look at “The Magnificent Seven” sometime, which is a blatant rip-off of Akira Kurosawa’s “The Seven Samurai”. Kurosawa’s film is a bajillion times better than Mag 7. There was another western (I forget the name) that was also a bad rip-off of Kurosawa’s film “Rashomon”. And that Bridget Fonda movie “Point of No Return” that was a crummy rip-off of “La Femme Nikita”.

American directors are always plagiarizing foreign films and the copycats are never as good as the originals.

LOL! I should have kept reading. I should have realized someone else here had seen the story, too, and would post it.
