Upon first viewing, I thought it was definitely Pitt imagining a confrontation with Lee, which would result in him getting kicked off the set, which led to him ruefully saying, “that’s about right”, owning that he’d deserve to be fired. But that doesn’t wash with the actual movie:

There is literally no space within the film for this to have actually happened.

these articles should clarify that this takes place in a dream sequence and is meant to show Pitt’s egotistical character in a bad light

I’ve said it before, and I’ll say a thousand more times: the real MVP of the Pat’s dynasty is Gisele Bundchen. 

“Hi, I’d like to report a murder.

It took me a minute to realize those were two photos side by side, and not one photo showing one Thunder player doubled over in ball pain while a rampaging Green kicks another one in the balls right next to him.

See to me all Basterds does is turn one notch up on the fictional ww2 dial to reflect the unheathiness of the revenge as moral good line most hollywood war movies take. Applying this self seving mythologising to Hollywood as a whole itself works brilliantly for me.
