INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS Fits Perfectly into Quentin Tarantino’s Movie Universe and Influences the Entire Filmography

By now, most Quentin Tarantino fans are aware of the connections interlaced throughout all of his films. John Travolta’s Vincent Vega in Pulp Fiction is the brother of Michael Madsen’s Vic Vega in Reservoir Dogs, Harvey Keitel’s Mr. White worked with Alabama from True Romance, the plot basis for Kill Bill is described as the synopsis for a TV series in Pulp Fiction, etc.

Now the epiphany that Eli Roth’s character of Donny Donowitz aka “The Bear Jew” in Inglourious Basterds is the father of the movie producer Lee Donowitz in True Romance has inspired a truly mind-blowing theory that the rest of the films (chronologically speaking) in Tarantino’s filmography take place in a world where [Inglorious Basterds spoiler] World War II came to an end when Adolf Hitler was brutally murdered in a movie theater by the Basterds.

This initial connection was brought up in an article on Cracked, but a poster on Reddit (via David Chen’s Twitter) has more eloquently summed up what this means for Tarantino’s movieverse:

As it turns out, Donny Donowitz, ‘The Bear Jew’, is the father of movie producer Lee Donowitz from True Romance – which means that, in Tarantino’s universe, everybody grew up learning about how a bunch of commando Jews machine gunned Hitler to death in a burning movie theater, as opposed to quietly killing himself in a bunker. Because World War 2 ended in a movie theater, everybody lends greater significance to pop culture, hence why seemingly everybody has Abed-level knowledge of movies and TV. Likewise, because America won World War 2 in one concentrated act of hyperviolent slaughter, Americans as a whole are more desensitized to that sort of thing. Hence why Butch is unfazed by killing two people, Mr. White and Mr. Pink take a pragmatic approach to killing in their line of work, Esmerelda the cab driver is obsessed with death, etc. You can extrapolate this further when you realize that Tarantino’s movies are technically two universes – he’s gone on record as saying that Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn take place in a ‘movie movie universe’; that is, they’re movies that characters from the Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Death Proof universe would go to see in theaters. (Kill Bill, after all, is basically Fox Force Five, right on down to Mia Wallace playing the title role.) What immediately springs to mind about Kill Bill and From Dusk ‘Til Dawn? That they’re crazy violent, even by Tarantino standards. These are the movies produced in a world where America’s crowning victory was locking a bunch of people in a movie theater and blowing it to bits – and keep in mind, Lee Donowitz, son of one of the people on the suicide mission to kill Hitler, is a very successful movie producer. Basically, it turns every Tarantino movie into alternate reality sci fi. I love it so hard.

fuckkk.

This is pretty awesome.

Wow.

My mind hurts. This is crazy.

SNL Says Goodbye to Kristen Wiig // Featuring Arcade Fire & Mick Jagger

I know it’s everywhere this morning, but it’s hard not to be a little moved and impressed that Saturday Night Live took a special moment to say goodbye to their MVP of the last seven seasons, Kristen Wiig. Doing so by providing a faux graduation ceremony and farewell dance soudtracked by Arcade Fire performing covers “She’s a Rainbow” and “Ruby Tuesday”. It’s an incredibly sweet moment, made all the sweeter by seeing the differentiating interactions between the cast members; Wiig starting to cry upon hugging Hader, Armisen staring directly into her eyes with a huge smile before saying what appears to be “I love you”, Samberg coming in off the wrong side with a big swinging hug like saying “fuck it” to the tears, but maybe saddest of all, Jason Sudeikis who from the opening of the skit appears to be dealing with some heavy emotions, nearly bringing the dancing to a stop when he gives her an extended hug before slipping off into the back. By the time “Ruby Tuesday” kicked in and everyone stormed the stage, it was a big party and Amy Poehler’s provided the best template for the celebration, just jumping around having a great time with a smile as big as the stage, because in the end, it’s not fun to lose some of the best cast members that have ever graced the SNL stage, but it’s exciting as all hell to thinking of what can come next from Wiig (and apparently Samberg and Sudeikis, who are also exiting). So, it appears we’re back to rebuilding years on SNL, but atleast we got to see a fantastic send off for one of the best that has ever been. 

I’m gonna cry……

Ugh. Definitely teary eyed.

:((((((

Late night rose work.

Oh my dear Tumblr. 

I’m not sure when or how you’ve turned into my graveyard of health food posts, but mark my word- times are changing. Although I cannot fully commit to no re-posts of silly little things that catch my eye, I can however, make a greater effort to pay more attention to you. 

My latest obsession has been the lovely monogram. I made a few letters for some lovely friends and commission pieces. These beauties will keep your eyes movin’. Oh how I love the little details- in these letters- as well as my world around me. 

P is for Paul.

Health benefits of coconut oil.

I hadn’t heard much about coconut oil until recently, and as it’s a part of my new diet I thought I’d do a bit of research to find out why.
