Eli Roth "Viva Bombolo"

Eli wanted to mention his favorite actors and actresses who are not generally respected in Italian cinema (with the exception of Edwige Fenech - the Mike Meyers character in Inglourious Barterds, general Ed Fenech is named after her by the way) so that journalists would then write about them and fans discover and re-discover their movies. These actors inspired Eli Roth for one of the best scenes in Inglourious Basterds, so get on google, search out these great actors and track down their movies! Go!

The audio is a little hard to understand so here is a transcript:

I can say that I studied in a very exclusive academy and that would be The School of Bombolo. I watched every movie, I watched every movie Cicero, Viva La Foca, I studied the great, the most important actors in the history of Italian cinema: Bombolo, Alvaro Vitali, Lino Banfi, Lando Buzzanca.
Really, I think Viva La Foca by Nando Cicero is the definitive masterpiece of Italian cinema. I think its the greatest film ever made. Lori del Santo, Michela Miti. I watched every Edwige Fenech, every Gloria Guida film, every Barbara Bouchet. So, so I really wanted to fully channel the spirit of Bombolo into that one gesture. Viva Bombolo!

Cutie pie :) I'm never gonna find a guy just because I pictured Eli as the perfect dude, which is sick, I don't know the guy, but because of that, I'm gonna compare every dude I meet and go "No... He's not funny, cute, jewish, rough, old (etc.) enough.." In other words: He is nothing like the Eli I have in my mind... It's fucked... I'm fucked..

You know, that is so true! I actually made this clip, with a little direction from Eli himself! I sent him my first draft, he replied with some pointers and help with the names!

[peroniization]

questi hanno una cultura cinematografica che fa spavento comunque!

Se penso che in quel periodo avevamo ANCHE Monicelli, Elio Petri, Damiani, Lattuada, Rosi, Risi e tanti altri non credo ci sia da essere molto allegri, fermo restando che mi piace la commedia sexy del periodo o i Poliziotteschi...
