American Idol Inglourious Basterds Footage

Last night the only exciting part of American Idol was Quentin Tarantino showing a behind-the-scenes clip and footage from his new film Inglourious Basterds. The Weinstein Company was nice enough to send us the clip, I couldn't figure out how to get the clip to work, so our wonderful PR contact uploaded it to YouTube. She is obviously a genius, and I'm obviously still a drunk who can't do anything right.

Inglourious Basterds stars Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Diane Kruger and Mike Myers and should be in theaters August 21, 2009.

Synopsis from IMDB:

When a Jewish girl's family is exterminated by the Nazis, she flees to Paris and meets a kindly woman who takes her in. Working for this woman at her movie theatre, the girl finds herself in a unique situation when an infatuated German war hero persuades his superiors to screen their latest propaganda film at her theatre. Will she seek revenge?

Meanwhile, aware of the plans for the movie premiere, a group of Jewish-American soldiers, working deep behind enemy lines enact their own plans to throw a wrench in the German war machine.
