Masochism, Thy Name Is Germany

Frankly, I say you’ve got it coming.

And no, not because of the whole World War II nastiness–I think we’re all kind of at peace with that.  No, I’m talking about your latest crime against filmgoers everywhere…Herr Doktor Uwe Boll.  But I won’t be talking about the horrible, horrible misery that is the career of Herr Doktor, I’ll be talk about the payback Hollywood will be getting on you for inflicting that godawful waste on us.

Namely, we’ll be giving you QUENTIN TARANTINO.

Quentin’s current plot, Inglorious Bastards, is a movie all about a collection of Jewish-American Nazi hunters set loose upon German soil to bash, shoot, stab and strangle German soldiers.  Now, this might be bad enough–watching one of our cheesiest directors openly savage your countrymen can’t be an easy thing so I’m sympathizing with Germany here–but this by itself is not the end. Not only are the German people about to watch their countrymen be savaged in every form imaginable by a basket case like Quentin Tarantino, they’re going to PAY FOR IT!

See, Tarantino, for filming this movie on German soil, almost certainly qualifies for something called DFFF, otherwise known as German state film financing.  Since he’s planning to shoot almost entirely in Studio Babelsberg outside Berlin, Tarantino is sure to qualify for the state cash given to all local shoots.  This cash, if I remember correctly, is one of the elements responsible for Herr Doktor’s ENTIRE CAREER.

The irony, of course, is as thick as German beer.
