Quentin Tarantino's 'Inglourious Basterds' Trailer Released

I didn't really know anything about this movie so here's a quick blurb from Wikipedia:

Inglourious Basterds [sic] is an upcoming ensemble war film/spaghetti western written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It has the largest cast of characters (with speaking roles) of any Tarantino film to date and is currently in production with several locations, among them Germany and France. Tarantino plans to complete production of Inglourious Basterds in time for release at the Cannes Film Festival in May 2009. Filming began in October 2008. The title (and partial premise) of the upcoming film is inspired by Italian director Enzo Castellari's 1978 movie Inglorious Bastards. The Weinstein Company has slated August 21, 2009 as the tentative U.S. release date.

Premise:
According to The Hollywood Reporter, "two story lines converge: One follows a group of prisoners-turned-soldiers whose mission is to take down a group of Nazis, and the other follows a young Jewish woman who seeks to avenge the death of her parents by this Nazi group."

The film will be divided into five chapters:

* Chapter One: Once Upon a Time in Nazi Occupied France
* Chapter Two: Inglourious Basterds
* Chapter Three: German Night in Paris (filmed in "French New Wave Black and White")
* Chapter Four: Operation Kino
* Chapter Five: Revenge of the Giant Face

Junior the Human Slinky


Watching some the tricks and stunts on the current MTV show "America's Best Dance Crew" prompted me to do some Googling of breakdancing and b-boy videos. Some of the results were mediocre and mildly entertaining but then I came across a few videos of a b-boy named Junior.

From what I gather Junior aka Buana is a b-boy from France and is part of the Wanted Posse Krew. He has won various championships including the World Breakdancing Championships 'Battle of the Year.'

Most would quickly say that there is no way breakdancing is a sport or that its top competitors are in the same league as NBA, NFL, or MLB superstars but after watching these videos its hard to say that Junior is not one of most gifted athletes I've ever seen.

Watch for the no-footed push ups, they are kind of his signature.....yes I did say no-footed push ups.
