The new Who: Have you seen only the first episode or all three that aired so far? I'll stick to the first one to be sure not to spoil you.
I like the new actors, though I could really do with the doctor finally changing sex. Moffat was my favorite writer of the show, his eps always stuck out as special, but somehow the second ep of the season, which was same as the first written by him, did not really work for me. For issues I usually had with RTD. We'll see, I hope it picks up again.
On inglorious basterds: I loved all the languages. It was so awesome because every bit of accent fits. Even that brit who pretends to be german. He opens his mouth and thinks he has no accent but every native hears it instantly.
And the scene, where they speak italian, bwahahahaha.
Christoph Waltz, the guy who played Hans Landa was amazing. Landa was a most intriguing figure and he was also so very austrian. Usually movie nazis are german and they are very straightforward evil. But Landa was no Nazi of conviction, he's an opportunist galore. He's a sadist too and will look only after his own interests. Nothing fits a backstabber better than a viennese accent. It fits the history of the nation that always tries to enforce it's status as the first victim of the nazis, which is bending the truth very strongly.
