...at least if he was going to be consistent. This new analysis, which comes from Europe and uses DNA from 39 living Hitler relatives, suggests that the infamous German dictator and all-around sleazewad had both Jewish and African roots! (No pun intended). So much for the ol' Aryan theory!I only wish that scuzbucket (perhaps the most evil man in the history of the civilized world) could somehow still be alive today to get the good news! Instead, I guess we'll just have to settle for watching him being torn apart by machine gun fire in Inglorious Basterds. [BTW, I didn't see that film in a theater and have wondered what the reaction was to that scene from live audiences. I would hope there was at least some cheering!]

Oh, that's too much irony, how awesome!! I didn't see it in theaters either, so I can't help you there, but I know we cheered here at home =)
ReplyDeleteThe only unfortunate thing: He was shot down as the theater was burning and about to explode. Therefore, there was no opportunity for the basterds to take his greaseball, crumwad scalp. That would have been classic!
ReplyDelete[I generally turned away from the scalpings in the film -- not exactly my cup of tea. But I would've definitely watched a good Hitler scalpin'!]
Another observation: Pitt was hilarious in his role! He was constantly in this weird pose jetting out his chin like Sgt. Slaughter in a circa 1984 death match with the Iron Shiek! Great stuff. Sorry to sound like I just saw Inglorious Basterds for the first time, but I did, in fact, Just See Inglorious Basterds for the first time! I'm not much for movie theaters. Too costly anymore (unless you go to the matinee), and even worse, way too many Gen Y (the people who don't know whom we fought in the Revolutionary War) and teenybopper folks. So I typically wait for films to come out on the premium movie channels, which Basterds just did. So that's my excuse.
