I thought the movie dragged. I probably would have passed if the Brad Pitt character Lt. Aldo Raine was not from Maynardville. Anybody from this area has no problem believing a boy from Union County would want 100 scalps from his charges. As in all QT movies the one liners make the experience.
Lt. Aldo Raine: You probably heard we ain't in the prisoner-takin' business; we in the killin' Nazi business. And cousin, Business is a-boomin'.
Lt. Aldo Raine: Actually, Werner, we're all tickled to here you say that. Frankly, watchin' Donny beat Nazis to death is is the closest we ever get to goin' to the movies.
Lt. Aldo Raine: DONNY!
Sgt. Donny Donowitz: [From offscreen] Yeah?
Lt. Aldo Raine: We got a German here who wants to die for his country! Oblige him!
Lt. Aldo Raine: I'm gonna give you a little somethin' you can't take off.
Lt. Aldo Raine: [the Basterds are breaking Sgt. Stiglitz out of jail] Sgt. Hugo Stiglitz?
[Sgt. Stiglitz nods]
Lt. Aldo Raine: Lt. Aldo Raine. These are the Basterds, ever heard of us?
[Sgt. Stiglitz nods]
Lt. Aldo Raine: We just wanted to say we're a big fan of your work. When it comes to killing Nazis...
Nazi Guard: Uggghhhhaahhh...
[one of the Basterds shoots him]
Lt. Aldo Raine: ...I think you show great talent. And I pride myself on having an eye for that kind of talent. But your status as a Nazi killer is still amateur. We all come here to see if you wanna go pro.
Plus the names of the characters such as the Jew Bear and his ball bat.....
This thing is a little over the top with gore, typical QT. But hell anybody that can come up with a plot that includes a Maynardville Boy in it deserves a watch
