Recently, word got out from Cannes that Quentin Tarantino was finally going to begin production on his LONG-discussed World War II drama, Inglorious Bastards. As with most people, I was very skeptical of this news, so I held off on writing about it; but now, even more news has rained down from this topic, and it might just be enough to start getting excited again.
