| Brad Pitt puts foot in mouth In an interview, Brad Pitt has said that Quentin Tarantino's film Inglorious Basterds "put a cover on that pot" referring to the genre of WW2 films. Maybe it is just me, but it is hard to take any moviemaker seriously whose main goal is to have the highest body count in every film. Pitt calls Cruise?s Nazi film ?ridiculous?- msnbc.com |

| Pitt is a joke. I saw a few promo's of his new movie, didnt like it. There will always be WW2 movies, as there are way to many stories yet to be told.

| First I want to state that I can't STAND Brad Pitt! That said, he may have been commenting on Tarantino's take on WWII movies. Most of Tarantinos movies are based on old genres of movies from the 70's such as blacksploytation films and such. "Pulp Fiction" was based on the pulp fictions books of that time. As such, this new Tarantino film is an upgrade of the 60s and 70s war 'B' movies - hence the over-the-top action and blood and guts and goofy storyline. That may have been what Pitt was commenting on, not so much that its the last great war movie. Pitt is still an idiot, though.

| He may be an idiot, but I still think he's a better actor and overall human being than Tom Cruise. I'm wanting to see this movie just as a mindless blood-letting action flick, with no relationship whatsoever to actual history except for the names "Hitler" and "World War Two".

| Pitt has only had a few decent films, this doesn't look like it'll be one of them. This is just another "splat" flick... Anymore, "actors" like Pitt, Cruise and the like are just a bunch of prima donna douchebags competing for the spotlight. I sure miss the days of real actors...

| I agree...and you notice that the vast majority of the great actors were also combat vets?

See if you can find "Helen of Troy" (2003)...it follows the historical epic much much closer, has far more credible battle sequences and there's actually a lead-in with the storyline, as well as the movie following historical events at the end. And most importantly: Good acting!
