Ah, Congress, Congress, Congress… Why do you amuse me with your continual antics? Is there something in the oath of office that says, “I must give comedians fodder for jokes.”

This week, the new Quentin Tarantino movie opened #1 at the box office, raking in $37.6M, which isn’t blockbuster numbers, but I was surprised. For those who haven’t read the storyline, here’s the synopsis:
“Inglourious Basterds” begins in German-occupied France, where Shosanna Dreyfus(Mélanie Laurent) witnesses the execution of her family at the hand of Nazi Colonel Hans Landa (Christoph Waltz). Shosanna narrowly escapes and flees to Paris, where she forges a new identity as the owner and operator of a cinema. Elsewhere in Europe, Lieutenant Aldo Raine (Brad Pitt) organizes a group of Jewish soldiers to engage in targeted acts of retribution. Known to their enemy as “The Basterds,” Raine’s squad joins German actress and undercover agent Bridget Von Hammersmark (Diane Kruger) on a mission to take down the leaders of The Third Reich.
So, I’m thinking, is it:
a) World War II – Nazi evil, die suckah!
b) Brad Pitt
c) Quentin Tarantino
d) everything else sucked and people really wanted to see a movie
I really did love Pulp Fiction, but I’m thinking d) on this one. We watched Defiance a couple of weeks ago, and I’m sorry, but I’ll take Daniel Craig and Liev Schreiber over Brad Pitt any day. Feel free to debate and discuss the artistic merits of BP vs DC and LS.
And also watched Sum of All Fears a couple of days ago, and I realized how energy Liev Schreiber brings to a role. Absolutely nothing to do with anything, but I noted it.
