What was so bad about 2012? There were some shootings in the states, but aren't those an accepted fact of life in these days? Also Obama got re-elected so it not like the year was a complete fuck-up for U.S.

OT: Eeeh. I'm skipping this one. I was told Inglorious bastards was the sh*t to watch, and I ended up watching a revenge fantasy porn, all the while having the queasy feeling that someone, somewhere, is jerking off to this. Not really tempted to relive the experience, and this review pretty much confirmed that Django is similar to Bastards. Still, I guess we all have itches that need to be scratched.

Interesting how every single white reviewer I've seen loves this movie (Jeremy Jahns, MovieBob, etc.) while a lot of black reviewers despise it (the guys over at Spill.com, for instance).
Interesting how this observation adds nothing to the discussion.
I'm pretty sure it added something, he was talking about the same movie that this thread is named after.

I've always liked how Tarantino's movies in the past have incorporated some elements of Spaghetti Westerns (setting, character, music, whatever), but now that he finally caved in and made one I'm not sure how I feel about it. I'm not sure if this film is the one he always wanted to make or a sign of him running out of ideas. Maybe it's neither. I don't know.

I just saw it, meh. The overuse of the n word was just bad. I understand it was depicting a time where "African-American", didn't exist, but they did have other terms for slaves (negro would be a prime example. Somebody needs to put Tarentino on a leash. This one felt schizophrenic. FIrst hour good, went downhill, end kinda redeemed itself. Leo was good though.Also, some dumb kid talked through the whole movie, and he was analyzing it too, badly.
Well, yes there were other terms for slaves other than the the N word, but you have to remember, that the people they were dealing with were the lowest of the scumbags who delt in slavery. Why would they use other words when they can be as insulting as they want to be?

And
During Candis speech on the structure of the brain after dinner he did use negro instead of the N word because he was being 'scientific' until he flew into a rage about them wasting his time and trying to trick him.

I really enjoyed the movie, particularly
Johnah Hill and the birth of the KKK was really entertaining

I probably would have thrown my drink at the idiot trying to over analyze the movie too loudly.

Why can't you just -ing say ******? Especially in this conext where you aren't even using it offensively?

You really need to add some words to that before the mods see it bromigo, dont wanna get hit with their hammer for low content
Updated it. I was referencing the first minute or two of that video. I wouldn't insult someone by using it, but it's not like it's in "can only be referenced by it's first letter" territory. I wasn't really that surprised by how much it was used, considering how much of the characters worked directly with slavery.

Eeeeh I thought I would like Tarantino movies but I real don't not one of them real sticks with me. I personally don't dig revenge fantasy type movies. inglorious bastards wasn't even all that funny except for a few parts. I don't know maybe I'm missing something here.

1. Does this Django carry a coffin with a minigun hidden in it?
2. Does this Django use solar-powered weaponry to hunt vampires?

THat's what I thought at first as well. But after a while, I felt like Tarentino was acting like a 12 year old kid that just found out about the word. If you want them to portray them as scum, don't just desensitize me to something horrible. I wasn't feeling like they were horrible people (I did at first), but instead I felt it was like a crutch for us to feel that.

Captain America's Red Skeleton was a good villain? I saw the movie in theaters and can't even remember a damn scene he was in that was interesting to watch. The character was about as one dimensional and flat as a Scooby Doo villain, and not even in a fun Saturday Morning cartoon sorta-a-way. The movie itself was pretty bland 2/3s of the way in, and if it wasn't for the first act and the Captain's origins story being done pretty decently, I would have written it off as being just as bad as the Fantastic Five movies.

But anyways, even though Tarantino's movies (except for Pulp) have always ended up falling flat for me, Django seems like it might be a change. Maybe...?

How come most posts look like:

"BOB DID NOT LOVE EVERYTHING IN BATMAN 3!!!!!!!


"

I mean really a five second comment and people rant and rave like Bob wiped his ass with a mint condition New Hope poster.

Personally I cant wait to see Django in a week or so.

Yesssssss!!!

Delighted to hear the positive review. I love my westerns, and I was concerned that Tarantino's shtick might have worn too thin to pull it off. Can't wait to see this one.

The problem with Red Skull is that he is utterly impotent. After getting the magic cube at the beginning, he doesn't have a single damn victory throughout the movie. He perpetually gets his ass handed to him by Cpt America and his troops, undermining any threat or superiority he might have had. There is even a scene in which he fecklessly shakes his fist at the Captain, unable to do anything as the guy blows up his factory, except for shouting something like "Garrr! I'll get you next time!"

In these flights of fantasy, its the villain that makes the movie. The protagonist was fine, but the movie wasn't going to be anything above average without a Hans Gruber or a Darth Vader.

So it's a good movie with a deep protagonist and an antagonist whose motivations are clear that happens to involve unflinching depictions of slavery and appropriate and liberal use of the word "******".

No wonder Spike Lee is whining about this, he wishes he could have made such a good movie that involves race. At least no one is really paying attention to his calls of boycott

not really just the few behind spike lee and his crazy ass most everyone in the theatre where I was was an even mix and the whole theatre LOVED IT! Like it actually felt like we came together in a sincere way instead of that ass kiss way that salon.com and there ilk are known for.
