Brad Pitt was interviewed about Inglorious Basterds by a German magazine, and apparently he thinks so highly of it that no other Nazi movies ever need to be made again, because it is that good. Now, I'm sure Basterds, which opens today, is without a doubt going to be amazing -- but still, kind of an assy thing to say. I'll forgive him though, because in the same interview he also makes a potshot at Tom Cruise. Hee!

"The second World War could still deliver more stories and films, but I believe that Quentin [Tarantino, director] put a cover on that pot. With Basterds, everything than can be said to this genre has been said," Pitt tells the German magazine Stern. "The film destroys every symbol. The work is done, end of story."

As for another WWII Hitler assassination movie with a famous Hollywood star, he says there is no comparison. When the Stern reporter mentioned Tom Cruise's recent turn in a film about a real plot to kill Hitler, Pitt simply said, "It was a ridiculous movie." (Source)

It's a shame the interviewer, while he was at it, didn't ask Brad what he thought about other high-profile celebrity babies, such as ... Oh, Suri Cruise for example. Brad would have surely scoffed and said that while Shiloh, Vivienne and Knox were all carved by the gods from gold and precious gems, Suri Cruise was probably carved from much more inferior material, like marble for instance.
