I dont see how you can say that the scenes are 'tenously linked'. There are a number of different storie lines an character arcs that weave through all of the different parts. There is Shosana's story, Landa's Story, and The Basterds plot, and they all fit together perfectly.
I agree that the film is pretty much a serise of long dialouge scenes, but I didnt find any of them to be baggy, in fact I was hanging on every worrd, especially in during the scene in the basement bar.
As I said before Nos: I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on this one.
:edit: Oh yeah and I loved Brad Pitts performance too, utterly hilarious and perfectly fitting imho:edit:
