The Guardian: "Shooting on the film, which has the working title Inglorious Bastards and which Tarantino has described as an "in-your-face movie", is due to start in the Potsdam Babelsberg studios west of Berlin on October 13.

But the film project by the US director of Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs, which is a remake of a 70s war film by Enzo Castellaris, has already created a furious response from German critics. One said the effects of the "collision" between pulp fiction and Nazi barbarity were "completely unpredictable"."

Times Online: "The controversial director is already in the German capital making his final casting decisions. The star role is to be played by Brad Pitt. His character, Lieutenant Aldo Raine, leads a group of American-Jewish soldiers who are dropped into Nazi-occupied Europe to wreak revenge on the Germans and destroy their morale."

• Why does the English press claim that Germany or the German media has a problem with this movie "before the production has even begone"? Where do you find that "furious response"? That's bullshit. I can't find a single article on Google News Germany, guys. It's the other way around. The German press has welcomed Tarantino in Berlin and they can't get enough exclusive pictures of him eating soup at some restaurant.

Also, it's not true that "Mission Impossible 2 or 3" wasn't allowed to film inside the Reichstag because Tom Cruise is a scientologist. Well, ask the White House whether they would shut it down for three weeks and you would get the same answer, Scientology or not.

Also, a lot of Americans seem to be convinced that there was free beer and free Bratwurst at the Obama event in Berlin. That's not true either. If they would have served free beer, millions of people would have been there.

And if you want pictures of Tarantino drinking beer in Berlin, try Bar 25!
