'I kill white people': Dozens of racial slurs... Quentin Tarantino film criticized as excessive
Daily Mail ^ | Dec. 12, 2012 | Meghan Keneally

Django Unchained set in pre-Civil War Texas and pits a former slave against his tormentors when he becomes a bounty hunter

Early reviews of the film claim the n-word is used frequently by black and white characters, but the level of violence is even more disturbing

Not the first time that Tarantino has gotten in trouble for use of racial slur In his 1997 film Jackie Brown, the n-word was used 38 times

FWIW I think all Tarantino movies suck. Now tell me again that there haven’t been any westerns before that deviate from historical reality.

Uh...if the story is set in 1850’s Texas, the use of the word ‘nigger’ is not a racial slur, but simply a descriptive phase. As in Mark Twain's “Huckleberry Finn.” At that time and place, it was merely one of the alternative pronunciations and spellings of Negro, i.e. ‘black person.’

To be sure, to describe another as black was negative enough.

I ain't! lol

Although a sequel to The Wild Wild West with Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones called Cowboys In Black might be pretty good.

MIB 3 was good. I can look past Smith’s and Fox’s poor political sense.
They both have man-crushes on president Cipher, golfer-in-chief.

“I’ve several of his films and cannot figure what is the appeal. I think they all suck”

I disagree. While his films are violent (it's a movie!) Sometimes weird. They are actually quite good.

Pulp Fiction is an iconic film. Great acting. Fantastic characters. I never get tired of watching it. If I run across it on the tube, I have to watch.

Kill Bill 1 & 2, again are masterpieces.

Sin City had to grow on me, but it too is great.

Inglourious Basterds was a fantastic movie also.

Reservoir Dogs and Grindhouse weren't my favs.

I can't wait to see Django Unchained.

He is one of my favorite directors, and Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies.

******

Tarentino stole the movie idea from a foreign film with sub-titles. The original was really good. Google and rent. You will love it!

Three words: John Wesley Hardin.

******

Interestingly, my g-Uncle shot and killed Jeff Hardin, the brother of John Wesley Hardin and was never tried for the crime. He was married to a Hardin at the time. Funny how things work out.

Ah, very interesting, I did not know this. I just did google it and I see that it indeed was a remake.

Sadly, this seems to be the way of things in Hollwierd these days, out of fresh ideas, so redo what’s been done.

Still, I loved the movie, has to be one of the better remakes I’ve seen. What I loved about it was the use of language and that the movie was comprised of actors acting as opposed to wiz bang special effects that don’t have any meaning.

I know Tartantino is a filthy leftist, no doubt, but he is also a director who has a unique style which I do appreciate in today’s movies about nothing starring no one. I think he is a fan of film, old school style, and I am too, so I respect him in that regard.

Listen, I appreciate the heads up on the older film, didn’t know, so now I’ve got one to watch.

Bump.

I love Pulp Fiction. We took my in-laws to see it. My father-in-law hated it because “it never reveals what’s in the briefcase!” He also didn’t do well with the changing chronology. “That’s not right; he’s already dead.”

All the way home he pondered out loud about what was in the briefcase. “It must have been gold. I think it was gold. What do you think? The Holy Grail maybe?” Weeks later he was still trying to figure out “what was in that briefcase.”

God bless him, if he had been alive to see Inglorious Basterds, he’d have been going on about how Hitler didn’t die in a movie theater.

Personally, I think Tarantino is an evil genius.

He is one of my favorite directors, and Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies.

However, I think I am going to pass on this one. I cannot stomach Jamie Foxx.


You’d probably like Michael Madsen’s “The Killing Jar.” If you haven’t seen it already, that is. There is one person standing by the end...

I suspect Madsen was trying to out “tarantino” Tarantino.

I did actually like that movie.

I thought it was one of the better madsen movies I’ve seen recently, because most of the time he just sucks.

But what really made me like that movie was the ending.

Check out CHARLEY VARRICK. It's an obscure Walter Matthau movie from 1973 that influenced Tarrantino greatly. It used to be free on youtube, but got pulled.

“...most of the time he [Madsen] just sucks.”

Ever seen “Vengeance Unlimited”? Television series that ran ONCE, never released on DVD, VHS, or any other medium. (It can be had as bootleg, but you’d have a fan to pay for it.)

Madsen plays a kind of a Paladin and the whole darned series was a tribute to “Have Gun - Will Travel” No violence (well VERY little); lots of black humor, tho...

I kinda wonder how many lovelaces[1] you’d give it?

Peet

[1] Lovelace = measure of — well, you get it, huh?
