TODAY’S BLOCKBUSTER QUOTE

Inglourious Basterds

4 October 2026 2009
Square soft-grey editorial card for Inglourious Basterds (2009), featuring Colonel Hans Landa’s quote ‘Oooh, that’s a bingo!’, a monochrome cross-hatched vintage field-radio illustration, birthday context for Christoph Waltz on 4 October, and the kicker ‘Fluency still has its edge cases.’

“Oooh, that’s a bingo!”

Colonel Hans Landa · Christoph Waltz

Why today

4 October is Christoph Waltz’s birthday. In Inglourious Basterds, Waltz plays Colonel Hans Landa. While negotiating his surrender with Aldo Raine, Landa correctly guesses that the Americans are working for the OSS. Delighted with himself, he reaches for an English expression and lands on the slightly wrong version: “Oooh, that’s a bingo!”

Fluency still has its edge cases.
