Quentin Tarantino Puts Brad Pitt's Penchant for Bad Accents to Good Use

If you've ever seen Seven Years in Tibet, then you know that fake accents are not one of Brad Pitt's strong points when it comes to acting. His Austrian accent was downright laughable.

But luckily, that cheesy over-the-top quality fit his character perfectly in Quentin Tarantino's new film, Inglourious Basterds. In the film he plays an American who has rounded up a posse of bad-ass Jews out for revenge during the Third Reich. His Tennessee accent is hilarious, as well as his complete inability to speak in an Italian accent while undercover.

I have to admit, I was a little wary about seeing this film -- mostly because of Pitt. I am glad I went and saw it anyway, because it was pretty damn entertaining, and, amazingly, Pitt didn't annoy me once during the whole thing.

Oh, and did I mention that Mike Meyers is in it? Random much?
