Los Angeles Area Geeks! INGLORIOUS BASTARDS Is Screening On Wednesday Night! With The Director!

Published at:  Jul 30, 2008 1:23:49 AM CDT

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

"Holy crap! I didn't even know he was done casting it yet!"

No, no. We are, of course, speaking of the original. Which is about to get the Nerd Boner 3-Disc Edition treatment (cannot wait to pick one up), hence the scheduling at the always great, genuinely grindhouse New Beverly Cinema.

Here’s what shows up in the inbox through official channels after an unofficial nudge had been sent in:



SEVERIN FILMS PRESENTS

SCREENING OF BRAND NEW PRINT OF 'INGLORIOUS BASTARDS'

PLUS 'BATTLE SQUADRAN'

Q & A WITH LEGENDARY DIRECTOR ENZO G. CASTELLARI BETWEEN FILMS

AND, SCHEDULES PERMITTING, STARS BO SVENSON AND FRED WILLIAMSON

ON THE OCCASION OF ENZO'S 70th BIRTHDAY & TO CELEBRATE THE RELEASE OF SEVERIN'S 3 DISC EXPLOSIVE EDITION OF 'INGLORIOUS BASTARDS'

At The New Beverly Cinema, 7.30 p.m on Wednesday July 30th

and an encore of both films on Thursday July 31st.

7165 West Beverly Blvd.
Los Angeles, CA 90036
one block west of La Brea
(323) 938-4038


Okay, first of all... YES, I WILL BE THERE.

Second of all, everyone who was giggling at QT's misspelling of the title page of his new script, check out the way Enzo's title is spelled on that second film there. Hmmmmm...

I haven’t seen the film. I love the fact that it’s a double-feature of someone whose work I haven’t seen, someone who’s going to be there, because some of the screenings like that I’ve gone to in Austin or here in LA in the past have turned out to be some of the best evenings of my filmgoing life. I remember the first double-feature of Fernando Di Leo films I saw, and the sudden recognition of this filmmaker’s voice that I had been totally unaware of. I know many people whose opinion of cult cinema I trust... and, yeah, QT would be one of those people I trust, considering the films he’s turned me onto at his fests... who really dig this movie, and if Bo Svenson and Fred Williamson are going to be there...

Look, either that excites you already, or this just isn’t going to be an evening for you. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this one sell out, and since Quint and Kraken are here in LA after their suicide run to San Diego, I’m hoping all of us will be there to check this one out. Sounds like a great evening, whether you see it on Wednesday or Thursday, with the Q&A or without.

Hope to see you guys out there.

Check out more details here.

    Which Torrent script?

    The one where the Transformers make an appearance, or the one with all the hardcore sex? Or one of the other twenty versions?

    QT's spelling.

    by geteveryone

    "Inglourious Basterds" - I'd have taken his title page as a nod to castalleri if that had been the only case, but his grammar and spelling was atrocious throughout; never-the-less, a good script it is. More on topic: I've never seen the original and look forward to hunting it down. Weeeee!

    I got the DVD....

    by tinseltown terror

    ....Last week at Bestbuy(yes the 3 disc version). And this was the 1st time i watched it. It was a pretty good film. I was surprised by the fact at how normal it was. By that I mean it did not seem like a B-movie. It had no gore, very little nudity and it was not really over-the top. And even the acting was half way decent. It seems that Enzo was trying to make a legit war movie. So this is definitely a film for those who love The dirty dozen, force 10 and other war film from that era. The ending was a bit of a surprise as well.

    If I was in L.A.

    by genre_baby

    I'd go.

    I've known Enzo for years, really enjoy a lot of his work. I wish Severin would hold something like this in NYC.

    Gotta thank Bill Lustig for turning me onto Castellari's awesome action films.

    And if QT's variant means that Enzo gets work back home or here, I'll be happier still.

    by montag666

    I heard he's at a bar. But be careful. I hear he surrounds himself with bikers and a dude that can fight you with a cue stick, so watch out. Say hi to uncle Pino for me if you see him.

    Anyone see Quentin on TCM last night

    by skimn

    with Elvis Mitchell on an interview program Under The Influence? Strange to see QT speak lovingly of old Judy Garland musicals.Good program also, with the late Sydney Pollack and Bill Murray as recent guests.

    geteveryone *SPOILER ALERT*

    by thebigwasted

    i know? he had spelling and grammatical mistakes all throughout the script. you'd think he'd have that stuff fixed up before he sent it out to studios. not saying i'm perfect...just that it was sorta distracting at times to have to puzzle over the errors while i was reading. sorta took me out of it on occasion. nonetheless i enjoyed reading the script, it was a quick read. on first read, i didn't really notice a great place to break if he's still planning on doing 2 films ala KILL BILL, i actually thought the script could have been longer. you don't really get to see much of the "basterds" in action before most of them are killed. i suppose you could pretty much imagine what they're up to based off of their first scene together but there is zero character development going on here. not that QT's known for a ton of character development but just sayin'. anyway, i'm looking forward to the movie, although i'm not a big fan of ultra-graphic violence on screen, i think QT is a pretty entertaining visual director. plus i love the fact that ****** is blown to smithereens at the end, thus ****** the ***. and the final scene isn't so bad either. it should be interesting to say the least.

    Brush up on your german

    by charlesv

    Saw presumably this same print at the drafthouse here in Austin... From what I could tell, this was a print of the restored version made for the DVD release. It looks like they didn't print english subs on here (since they're overlaid using the DVD features), so about 10% of the dialog is in unsubbed german... Most of it's pretty easy to figure out, but the last sequence on the train features a lot of "....oh i guess he means..." [spoiler]i think the light's for the photo lab entry/exit, but everything else was pretty easy to figure out[/spoiler]

    Inglorious Bastards @ Universal...

    by audaabutayi

    ...apparently (source: Nikki Finke). Weinstein couldn't convince Quentin to do otherwise. I know I shouldn't -considering the fond memories everyone seems to have of him- but I feel sorry for Harvey. He commited some bold, interesting films to celluloid but it seems that fortune is indeed a blind harlot - or a very perspicacious one, if one is to believe all the trash-talk directed at him and his poor, dwindling karma.

    The Title Page is Amusing

    by hostileorganismx

    Literally hand scrawled, "'INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS' - written and directed by QUENTIN TARANTINO - Last Draft July 2nd, 2008."

    As far as the typed pages, the script is full of blatant, gleeful misspelling.

    It's also very tough on Germans. Even low-ranking German soldiers get beaten to death with a baseball bat. Compared to QT's script, the Bald Mechanic in "Raiders" got off easy.

    by jaguart

    He's just gotta have Rutger Hauer. Roy Batty thirty years later. He's just gotta. And I'd love to see waht QT could do with a "Girl Next Door"-Kelly Timothy Olyphant.

    Inglorious Bastards was a Cinemax favorite

    by gonzo keinz

    when I was a kid. I bet I saw it at least five times. Even as a sixth grader or so, I knew that it was "so bad it's good." For years I've been interested in seeing it again to see what it's "really" like. I'm kind of annoyed QT's using the title. Does he do anything on his own? Well, Kill Bill was his title. Wonder how long it took for him to conjour up that one. Casting Rutger Hauer AND Paul Reubens would be nice.
