The rabid proof-reader in me is appalled (not appauled as I saw written somewhere today) at the deliberate mis-spelling of Quentin Tarantino’s latest film.
Everytime I see Inglourious Basterds I want to punch a ‘u’ and rearrange the face of an ‘e’. Violent though that may be, it’s hardly worthy of a cameo in Tarantino’s next film. Somehow word geek gone mad doesn’t conjure up epic “I must see” status, although if it was directed by Tarantino, that would surely be enough to get a few gore-seeking fans through the double-doors.
Creating a deliberately mis-spelled name for a movie may not be the smartest thing in the world, although there may just be some merit in the idea.
Regardless, the movie was great, so go and see it without the red pen.
