‘Inglourious Basterds’ Premieres In Hollywood

Brangelina hold court in Tinsel Town
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

Last night Brad Pitt, Diane Kruger, Eli Roth and others were joined by family and friends at the Los Angeles premiere of their new film Inglourious Basterds at Grauman’s Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA. Angelina Jolie held court with Pitt and managed to show-off a few new tattoos on her person. Here are a few pics from last night’s movie premiere:


Angelina Jolie is never anything but slim and toned. But she looked impossibly slender as she joined partner Brad Pitt on the red carpet for the premiere of his new film Inglourious Basterds last night. The 34-year-old actress wore an unforgiving leather mini dress, which clung to her fragile frame as she stood alongside tanned and healthy-looking Brad. Angelina also showed off new additions to her tattoo collection – swirls around the existing body art on her arms. Last night was Brad and Angelina’s first public appearance since they walked the red carpet at Cannes in May. The couple, whose relationship has been the subject of repeated rumours in recent months, made a show of togetherness as they embraced on the red carpet. But while Angelina was greeting everyone with a large Hollywood smile, Brad looked less comfortable. Of course, it may well have been the stress of weeks of heavy promotional duties for his new movie, which have seen him repeatedly away from his family. While Brad was promoting the film Angelina remained at home with Maddox, 8, Pax, 5, Zahara, 4, Shiloh, 3, and twins Knox and Vivienne, 1. But, ever the professional, Brad patiently signed autographs for the huge crowds of fans waiting for him and Angelina. He then led the mother of his six children through the crowd by her arm, his teeth set as he negotiated the busy red carpet.

As you may already be well aware, Inglourious Basterds is the American-Hunting-Nazi film that was directed by Quentin Tarantino and opens in theaters on August 21. Hollywood is really having a field day with all that WWII era Nazi films these days so hopefully this one will be the last … at least for a while. To be honest, my interest level in this film was much higher when it was first announced last October but it has since waned in the past few months. I think the trailers that feature Brad Pitt speaking in that horrid Southern drawl is what has been turning me off. David has mentioned that he is very much interested in seeing this film so we’ll prolly end up seeing it after all. I can’t remember the last Brad Pitt movie that I liked … mebbe this will be the one.

‘Inglourious Basterds’ Releases Another New Poster

Apparently women can be basterds, too
Thursday, May 7th, 2009

Previously we’ve learned that Brad Pitt is a basterd. Then we learned that Eli Roth is a basterd. Today we find out that basterdism is not relegated to the male sex as Diane Kruger has been found out to be a basterd as well. Brad, Eli and Diane will be appearing in the new Quentin Tarantino film Inglourious Basterds and Diane is featured in the film’s latest movie poster:


Basterds, as you may recall, were Jewish-American Nazi hunters who sought out and punished WWII war criminals in their own bloody way (scalping, decapitating, etc.). It looks like Diane is not really dressed for bloody decapitating but I’m sure she figures in the tale in some important way. She’s deffo the prettiest of the basterds that we’ve seen thus far.
