I Guess He Almost Cost Me But Promptly Turned Around And Saved Me $10

Posted on August 11, 2009 by andrew

So I didn’t really know what Inglourious Basterds was about, beyond it being “Quentin Tarantino’s World War II flick with Brad Pitt.”

Then I read the first page of Jeffrey Goldberg’s Atlantic article on the film and thought, “Well, that sounds like a pretty cool concept (despite Goldberg’s creepy lede and my concern regarding the involvement of Eli “Torture Porn” Roth); I really want to see the movie and find out whether Tarantino pulled it off.”

Then I read the second page of Goldberg’s article and thought, “Why did this jackass just describe, in enough detail to ruin the punchline, the final scene of a movie that hasn’t been released yet without the courtesy of any sort of spoiler warning?”

Fuck you, Jeffrey Goldberg. Fuck you, The Atlantic.

(And yes, I remember the last time I wrote a post like this, but I think this time I’m on much more solid ground.)
