Possibly not, he'd have to get more scars to hide it. When I say "an unrecognisable mess", I mean his swastika, not his whole face. He's not going to win any beauty contests but it's better than what would have happened to him if the Basterds hadn't intervened, getting blown up in a theatre or if he's lucky, spending his life running from Nazi hunters.

(What's up with quotes? Videosift seems to be mucking them up.)

Were skin grafts that great back in the 40s? If he had to scar his whole face up, that'd still be terrible for a character like him

I watched this film again recently, having absolutely loved it the first time, and found myself enjoying it less than I expected. Mainly because of the excessive use of the 'person is dead / no they're not not they're really just pretending' trick, which I thought was a bit cheap. It happens at least twice at key points in the film (the woman in the bar fight scene, and then the German war hero in the cinema scene).
Don't get me wrong - Tarantino is a God, and the suspense he creates in scenes is brilliant, and the Jew Hunter was pure awesome - but there were a few bits that I found a bit cheap on second viewing. I don't think it hangs together as a film as well as Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs.
So there.

This bugged me but what really annoyed me is this: what did the Basterds actually achieve? The only difference they made to the big ending is that they helped the main baddie! Landa (Christoph Waltz, in a superb performance) to survived, and got a nice life in the U.S. because of them screwing up the assassination attempt, at the cost of some plastic surgery. They were counter productive!

Survive with a fat swastika on his head

That could be fixed with plastic surgery, or if that wasn't available, he could get more slices in his face to change it into an unrecognisable mess. Claim he was hit by shrapnel while saving children from Nazis.

I don't think it's eligible after 3 days in any case, but that definitely deserves more attention. Hopefully Sunday will be a good time for it - any one visiting today ought to have enough time to watch more than just a couple brief videos.

Ok, I didn't see the breasts of a beautiful eastern European woman, but this is in every other way superior to the Hungarian Weather report!

>> ^tymebendit:

onward to top 15!!!
this is almost as good as the hungarian weather girl!!!

I was hoping for a triple Marvin, Pulp Fiction style.

@doogle, that may have been a joke, and it is funny, but it is also deeply profound.

No. That simple.

Not hell no. Not I'll beat your face to a pulp no.

Just ... no.

Things I learned about Melbourne:
-- if you're an American don't pull the bell on the tram. But if you do - say g'day and exit immediately.
-- the best pubs are on the roof up six floors of stairs - and no fair taking the lift
-- best place for the Pulp Fiction soundtrack played on sitar.
-- smartest, nicest most fun people South of the equator - and equal to the North ;-)

John should have stopped the song, walked over, bash her head in with his guitar until she was a bloody pulp on the floor, walked cooly back to the mic and restarted the song.

haha

Yep. I put it in the tags.

(Thanks for the promote. I was surprised this was languishing. I suspect I should be not such a weenie with the title.... that NSFW thing though.... )

Is that Pulp or Jarvis Cocker?
