If you were to offer me a Scotch and plain water then I would drink a Scotch and plain water.

So I saw Inglorious Basterds last night.
If ever there was a time to throw nacho cheese at the screen, it was during the huge Blackberry ad featuring a prolonged shot of Bono's smug bastard face.
(For those not in the know, cinema nacho cheese contains something that really damages cinema screens)
And there was a trailer for Dorian Gray, which looked kinda cool, until tormented Mr. Gray was seen shagging women. Egged on by Lord Henry. It's been a while since I read it, but I don't remember any women involved in that particular love triangle. (yes, I know it's Sybil, but really) I've read that they've stuck faithfully to the book, but the way they've edited the trailer just seems to ignore the whole 'shagging men too' thing, as if they don't want Daily Mail readers to be offended until they've paid.

Anyway, the film was great. I won't spoil it and I don't feel like reviewing, but there are some amazing lines in it. My favourite being the title of this post. I've been saying it all day when being offered a cuppa. I think I'm annoying people.
Still, go see it. It's hilarious, violent, creepy and has lots of BSU. And a multitude of European languages. I even managed to follow some of the French, go me. Look out for the awesome Eli Roth (he's the guy that looks a bit like Sylar) in a rare but superb acting role.
It was so good I'd consider paying to see it.
