'scheisse' and 'kaiser' are the words you're looking for.

interesting. It would be interesting to see what Leo DiCaprio does under Tarintino's direction, considering his past few have been with Scorsese, a much different and recognized as one of the best directors in the industry.

I hope he makes this one more drama oriented like his icon Martin Scorese did "Gangs in New York". I love Quentin's style but I don't know if that style will translate well in a WW2 film. He should take the conventional route on this one.

I think the bigger question is how Samuel L. Jackson will end up in this? Funny about the foot fetish thing I wrote that on a board when they said he met with Pitt, hahaha.
