I thought he was a genius

So Quentin Tanantino finished his script for Inglorious Bastards. Or maybe it's Inglorious Basterds. Cause that's how he spells it. I read on his IMDb page that he has an IQ of like 160, which would put him at the genius level. But after reading what few snippets that have leaked from the script, it just seems... like his IQ isn't 160.

Here's a bit of the script that has leaked, written by QT himself.

"My name is Lt. Aldo Raine, and I’m putting together a special team. And I need me eight soldiers. Eight – Jewish – American – Soldiers. Now y’all might have heard rumors about the armada happening soon. Well, we’ll be leavin a little earlier. We’re gonna be dropped into France, dressed as civilians. And once we’re in enemy territory, as a bushwackin’ guerilla army, we’re gonna be doin one thing, and thing only, Killin Nazi’s. The members of the Nationalist Socialist Party, have conquered Europe through murder, torture, intimidation, and terror. And that’s exactly what we’re gonna do to them. Now I don’t know about y’all. But I sure as hell, didn’t come down from the goddamn smoky mountains, cross five thousand miles of water, fight my way through half Sicily, and then jump out of a fuckin air-o-plane, to teach the Nazi’s lessons in humanity. Nazi ain’t got no humanity. There the foot soldiers of a Jew hatin, mass murderin manic, and they need to be destroyed. That’s why any and every son-of-a-bitch we find wearin a Nazi uniform, there gonna die. We will be cruel to the Germans, and through our cruelty, they will know who we are. They will find the evidence of our cruelty, in the disemboweled, dismembered, and disfigured bodies of their brothers we leave behind us. And the German will not be able to help themselves from imagining the cruelty their brothers endured at our hands, and our boot heals, and the edge of our knives. And the Germans, will be sickened by us. And the Germans, will talk about us. And the Germans, will fear us. And when the Germans close their eyes at night, and their subconscious tortures them for the evil they’ve done, it will be with thoughts of us, that it tortures them with. But I got a word of warning to all would be warriors. When you join my command, you take on debit. A debit you owe me, personally. Every man under my command, owes me, one hundred Nazi scalps. And I want my scalps. And all y’all will git me, one hundred Nazi scalps, taken from the heads of one hundred Nazi’s or you will die trying. -Lt. Aldo Raine aka Aldo the Apache"

Yeah. I think he means "they're", not "there." Plus all the comma's and shit like that... c'mon man, you won an Oscar.

My brother in law, Frankie Teardrop, told me just the other day that Tarantino isn't all there. He told me this cause he hated Oldboy and I love Oldboy. I told him Tarantino loved Oldboy as well. Then he suggested Tarantino is a drug addict. And this script pretty much proves him right.

Point is, Frankie Teardrop needs to start liking cooler movies.

Back to Inglorious Basterds... Tarantino wants Brad Pitt to play the guy who gave that little speech. Cause whenever you think of Jewish WW2 vets, you think Brad Pitt.

Anywho, this sounds like it'll be another Kill Bill like movie. Meaning it'll be entertaining but it won't be the Pulp Fiction like masterpiece we're all hoping Tarantino can give us once more before he OD's.

Here's hoping it'll be better than it sounds.
