It’s no secret around here that the past 10 years have passed us by. While we’ve been obsessed with recollecting the best moments of the 2000s, it doesn’t hurt to take a look back at the craziness that was the final year of the ’90s.
Thinking about 1999, it seems like the cult classic, Fight Club, was just as culturally relevant as events like the Y2K scare or introduction of Eminem. That’s why special midnight screenings are being held in New York and Los Angeles on November 18 (Tuesday night, but technically Wednesday morning) to celebrate the film’s 10th anniversary. RSVP information is behind the link on each city. If you can’t make it or don’t live on the coasts, cop it on Blu-ray next Tuesday.

If you live in another country, a) you’re already bankrupt, and b) seeing American movies probably means that everything has been overdubbed into another language. If you’re one of these dub specialists (word to King Jammy), you pull down some nice coin to stand in a studio and make people believe that the cast has suddenly learned French or Mexican or whatever. Well, in Brazil, the guy who usually delivers Sean Penn’s lines in Portuguese backed out of doing the gig for Milk'because he’s also a pastor and didn’t feel comfortable playing a gay character who does all kinds of gay stuff for gay causes and whatnot.
We’re not saying Marco Ribeiro is right or wrong, but we did take the opportunity to pull back the curtain and show you some of the many people who are responsible for making you laugh when you’re drunk in your hotel room watching Three Men and a Little Lady in Dutch…
With their big bank accounts, bad bitches, and good looks, there’s no doubt that Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio are bastards…but are they inglorious? Well, director Quentin Tarantinowants to cast the two stars in his reworking of Enzo Castellari’s 1978 WWII film The Inglorious Bastards.
Neither actor has worked directly with Tarantino before, although Pitt played a stoner in Ridley Scott’s True Romance and spoke dialogue Q had written. On Tuesday, Tarantino met Pitt in France to talk about the key role of Aldo Raine. On Thursday he’s meeting with DiCaprio, who he sees playing villain Hans Landa. Watch a video of Tarantino talking to the director of the original Bastards below.
