Don't blame Quentin Tarantino for Friday's tragic Newtown, Conn., shooting.
The Django Unchained director is tired of having to defend his use of violence in film.
"I just think, you know, there's violence in the world, tragedies happen, blame the playmakers," he said Saturday at a press junket, per the BBC. "It's a Western. Give me a break."

This is so disgusting, and to think it is being released on Christmas. God surely is sad that this great experiment called America, has gone the same way as the Roman Empire.
The fact is that a segment of out population, and probably a large segment if you consider youngsters in their formidable years, that ARE susceptible.
So, should Hollywood only make PG family-friendly movies?

so quentin you pathetic little wanker, i guess advertising doesn’t work either.

they will also ban the Frito Bandito and Speedy Gonzales too. Racist and all. Yet it will be OK to kill whitey.
Tarantino is detestable
But adored by under 45 freepers
A little penis white man
I might check out this movie if only because I'm a history buff and would love to see his portrayal of pre-Civil War America in the South.
Overly violent films repulse me but I am not affected by them. I can watch "The Sopranos" without having the desire to become a mobster and whatnot. Remember that there was violent crime back when wholesome shows like "The Waltons" and "Little House On The Prairie" ruled the airwaves and you had Al Capone, Jesse James and John Dillinger before there was even TV or video games.
Blame the NRA, ya hear me now?!
It’s not the movie’s fault or the video game or even the shooter’s.
The problem is racist hatefilled teabaggers from fly over country.
Their backwards values are what is leading to shootings like these.
But don’t worry - their punishment is coming. :)
Now go pay your taxes, your government is broke.
We’re boycotting Hollywood, so we don’t know this _ucker, right?!
Quentin, give US a break from your moronic movies. Your no better than the ghoulish media.
Well said. Focusing on gun control allows Hollywood and others to deflect criticism.
Reservoir Dogs:
It’s never movie or video game violence, nor the sick puppies that everyone around them knows is twisted and ready to go over the edge. It is only the inanimate gun that is to blame! When I was a kid and we had TV shows with clear cut Good Guys, Heroes and Bad Guys, when we played Army and Cowboys and Indians we did not have this extreme violence! I miss the days when children were disciplined in schools, before the experts told parents it was WRONG to say no to their kids and spanking became a crime! Now we are reaping the bounty of their stupidity with people that believe they are entitled to act out and behave any way that makes them feel good. Why is that liberals never want to blame the person for their foul deeds and only want to diminish the freedoms of the rest of us?
Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs were better films but made violence attractive and "cool," which movies like "Kill Bill" couldn't really do.
I don’t see your point. People rationalize violence, just like we rationalize every bad thing that we do. Every person that commits an act of premeditated violence has already rationalized it themselves. So what do the movies have to do with it?
This movie should be protested because it promotes gratuitous violence and racial hatred. It is also an insult against Christianity because it opens on Christmas day.
Hollywood adores the Dems and just loves to throw millions of dollars in donations at the Dems but it makes you wonder if there is not a quid pro quo going on? Does Hollywood get tax benefits or some other form of benefits from the Dems?
