Dunno, Tarentino's luster wore off awhile ago, but I am a sucker for the 'Ol West setting and Christoph Waltz.

Trailer looked better than the Inglorious Bastards trailer. Still won't see it in the theater.

But does it have your attention?

I saw this yesterday and thought it was great.  Decaprio and Christoph Waltz were both fantastic.  Jamie Fox was good but honestly I could have pictured a few others playing that role that would have done just as good or better.  Lots of violence, swearing, VERY liberal use of the "N" word and of course Samuel L. Jackson calling people motherfuckers.  I highly recommend it if you're a Tarantino fan and enjoy this type of movie but be prepared to get comfortable as its 2h 45 min long.

I liked A.O. Scott's comparison to "Lincoln"--pointing out that the cinema of vengeance has never really ever allowed black vengeance against white wrongdoing, just a bunch of white guys kicking ass on whoever's done them wrong. (There's a few weird exceptions, but I think his point is basically right.) So I think I'll see this--I'm curious.

They hate it because people get to say "nigger" in it while they can't and they don't think it's fair. Also, the black guy getting revenge on white people makes them uneasy too. Might give the darkies ideas now that whites are in the minority.

I really don't know any of Williams stuff, other than he was in one of the Friday movies and he does stand up.  He's just one of the people I saw jumping on the Spike Lee bandwagon. 

Either way, I was just trying to point out that neither political side is condemning Djanog more than the other.

I liked this a lot.  I think it will probably take #2 in my Tarantino rankings (after Jackie Brown and above Pulp Fiction/Basterds tie), and there is a lot more going on in this movie than a lot of people (apparently) think.  (Not here, I mean, on the internet/media at large.)

It's easy to miss the plot/character subtleties with some of the silly stuff that happens - I really hem and haw about those things a lot with Tarantino.  'If he would stop doing that he would be a great filmmaker vs. if he stopped doing that he wouldn't be Tarantino' is a debate I have never really decided on.

Drudge/Breitbart and conservative newspapers have been basically attacking the movie, and frequently quoting Spike Lee (who hasn't made a good movie in over a decade and has a personal beef with Tarantino).

I saw this Sat. night.  I consider it also close to as good as Pulp Fiction, and definitely Tarantino's most impactful film.  To give an idea, just about every showing was sold out where I went and this is the 2nd week out.  So the buzz is on with this one.  Great, great film.  One of those must-sees even if you're not interested.

Anyways, I do somewhat agree about the hip-hop distraction in the film but I thought it had artistic significance so I give it a pass.  There's a reason it was there.  Also, Tarantino does what he likes, and he LOVES hip-hop and music in general. (him and RZA from Wu Tang have a bromance)  I daresay he's the "blackest" caucasian producer/director in Hollywood.  Some would laugh at that, but Quentin would likely also laugh and say "go fuck yourself. So what." (he was raised in mostly black and hispanic schools)

So that in essence is why Spike hates him.  He looks at him like the white boy using urban-ish black entertainment as a pawn.  Spike's an ass though.  And this film had more meaningful impact for black america then all of Spike's angsty shit put together, ironically.

I loved Pulp Fiction but haven't really enjoyed anything else by Tarantino as much, Django Unchained has changed that, absolutely brilliant.  I loved the German being the good guy for a change as well.

I think Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction are the best movies Tarantino has directed (+ he did write the story for Natural Born Killers). Django ranks (imho) around third with some others but clearly below the top two.

Spike hates this movie because he can never make a movie about a black man butchering scores of dumb white people and make tarantino dollars. There is plenty of black people that hate the Django because they don't believe tarantino should be allowed to say nigga period cause he is white. And there is plenty of black people that think their retarded, me included.

The movie was fun and a bit long on the tooth. It made no one save our star characters look good, a trend that had few exceptions. Which if anyone should find offensive it should be that, but meh get butt hurt over the n word. Can't say I'm big on the ending but hey it was fun ride.

Dont fall into that trap of "if Quentin was black he wouldn't have made dollars."  That's bullshit.  The problem is African American Hollywood enjoys pandering to pop culture as much as the next douche with money does (singleton, lee, and perry are prime examples).  Quentin could give two shits, which gives him way more freedom to make great films.

Also, fact is there just isnt a decent crop of black directors/producers to begin with in an industry that's already pretty nepotistic against them.  It's lose lose.  So why not just make good films instead of essentially eating on scraps?

Riddle me this... guys like Perry, Lee, and many others in entertainment (diddy and so forth) have enough money to pretty much finance whatever the fuck they want.  But they still feed us shite.  What does this tell you? 

Nah, I dont believe those fools deserve a racial excuse.  They just lack the talent and the ability to separate greed from an artform.  So fuck em I say.  I'll watch the movie color blind.

I agree with Lamaros.

But just to humor you, I'll take your example of Diddy. Why does he not make amazing shit? He's got no goddamn taste. I've met Spike a few times and he's kinda still stuck in the last century.

Kinda hard to say as that term is sorta ambiguous, but I'd say:

F. Gary Gray.
Hughes brothers.
Antoine Fuqua


A couple of TV directors whose episodes you've seen a million times but probably have never heard of:

Michael Shultz.
Ivan Dixon (although you probably know him as the cool dude on Hogan's Heroes)
