you go Quentin Tarantino!
can’t spell it correctly thanks to that fascist basterd Jack Valenti
Hope it’s not just more talky schlocky crap…
Mike Myers and Eli Roth? WHY?!? What have we done to deserve this?
Wait for Stallone’s “The Expendables” It has him,Forrest Whitaker, Jet Li, Jason Statham and Doplh Lundgren so far. If I’m going to watch an action/Dirty Dozen for fun flick, I want action stars–not the crew that Tarantino has assmbled here. Pitt’s the only legit actioner there and the only legit actor at all.
