...characters contribute, the small details and Tarantino’s directorial vision are what make “Inglourious Basterds” so enjoyable. Samuel L. Jackson’s voiceover on the flammability of nitrate films, the brash and always entertaining soundtrack—highlighted by David Bowie??s “Cat People (Putting Out Fire)”—the numerous nods to film history, and many other minor but entertaining additions help make the film feel more vibrant and imaginative than any Tarantino flick since “Pulp Fiction...

But for every beat-jacker, there exist producers like the Wu-Tang’s RZA, who compares his use of a wide variety of short samples...
