BRIDGET von Hammersmark? Bridget is not a German name.

Sounds like one of the names Mike Myers usually comes up with for his Austin-Powers-movies.

"BRIDGET von Hammersmark? Bridget is not a German name."

The character is also an actress. It could easily be a stage name.

Some people just go out of their way to find things to hate about something they don't want to like. Play it safe and bash the confusing casting choices next time.

So, I guess it's alright to call Pitt and Myers bastards now? *g*

The German blonde looks nice, but iirc, she's a bit too much on the skinny side.

Waltz is really a good choice. Not a too well known face, but a terrific actor.

Btw: Bridget is a german name, its usually just spelled "Brigitte". And "von Hammersmark" is pure Tarantino, guess he is making von of "Florian von Donnersmark", last years foreign oscar winner.

Nay, Bridget is NOT a German name. Not at all. Yes, there is "Brigitte" and there's even "Birgit", which is closer to "Bridget". Nevertheless, both are not "Bridget". "Bridget" is not a German name.

Maybe one of Bridget's parents is American or British? Or it's really just a stage name, like Steve wrote.
