...just possible that Tarantino, having played a trick on history, is also fooling his fans. They think they're in for a Hollywood-style war movie starring Brad Pitt. What they're really getting is the cagiest, craziest, grandest European film of the year...

On Tuesday, July 28, executives from firms such as Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase and Wells Fargo were invited to a meeting at the Treasury Department for a little pep talk about increasing the number of loan modifications. Officials at Treasury, along with the Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD; co-host of the head-knocking session), have been underwhelmed by the rewrites.
