Inglourious Basterds Behind-the-Scenes Clip Still Won’t Convince me to Watch American Idol

The clip features our first look at Toronto native-son Mike Myers as British General Ed Fenech. Thanks to the internet—and Dork Shelf—you don’t have to sit through the low-brow schlock that is American Idol, you can watch the clip right here!
Tarantino debuted the Basterds footage during Fox’s American Idol of all places. I guess 40 million viewers is a pretty effective way to build buzz for your movie, but I don’t really think Inglourious Basterds target demographic watches American Idol. Only time will tell if teenage girls turn out in droves to see a crack team of Jewish soldiers stick it to Hitler and company. Oh, and I think some guy named Brad Pitt is in it too.
Thanks to Raj for the heads up.
Mike Myers? Tarantino? Bad spelling? Man, that’s three strikes right there.
But it has BJ Novak from The Office, the kid from Freaks and Geeks AND Brad Pitt… so dreamy.
