Not good enough to be satire, not bad enough to be good

Rating: 1/10 (31 December 2015)

The film seems to have a couple of false starts complete with chapter headings. When we meet the the basterds they come straight out of cartoon territory. One even has a baseball bat which he uses to kill Nazi's. Which much to my amazement he does.
Clearly there is some kind of bad joke stunt being set up but it is not clever enough to be satire. Brad Pitt is pretending to be a bad actor but not quite bad enough to be entertaining. He is ponderous and stupid in every scene.
Just when you think it can't get more ridiculous there is a fantasy music sequence with the song from 1982's Cat People movie complete with close up's on the actresses green eyes. An obviously out of period song was there for what reason?
None of the characters are more than sketches. Maybe the point is that war is some kind of absurdist nightmare but surely there was a better way to do all of this.
