The guys over at Spill.com are still banging on about how this movie was "just an excuse for Tarantino to use the N-word" so I doubt this controversy is going away anytime soon.
Liked the movie just fine, myself. Would like to see Samuel L. Jackson get some very deserved props for infusing so much sheer hate into his character.
I wonder if some of those guys have ever seen an un-censored episode of the Boondocks. I would be very surprised if the average episode wasn't as dense with the N-word as Django is, if not more so.
Yes, actually. Main Spill guy Korey Coleman has said that he could never get into
The Boondocks, because the show seriously overuses the N-word.
The Spill Crew also called the film a cartoon, like Bob suggested that some people might find it to be. Furthermore, they said it was "irredeemably uneven, way too long and not nearly as funny as it thinks it is", in the words of Spill Crew member Martin "Leon" Thomas. Leon - who, like Korey, is black - also said regarding Tarantino's statements about wanting to create a hero for black people in Django: "Hey, man; next time,
ask me when you wanna do something for me, so I can tell you early on, 'That's stupid and stop, because you're making things worse'."
