Well, putting one of any Soderbergh's Ocean's movies on that list may have made your same point.

Looks more like you're always dying to know what others think of Tarantino so you can defend him, like that was your cause in life.Thanks for the advice. I was dying to know what you thought of me.Well, putting one of any Soderbergh's Ocean's movies on that list may have made your same point.

Agree with this. Just saw Django on Friday and re-watched IB on Sunday. IB was a better film in every way.

The tavern scene in IB is pure greatness. There isn't a single scene in Django in my opinion which comes close to it. There are other reasons I like IB more but that scene alone would be enough.

"The Girlfriend Experience" was turrible. I like some of Sasha Grey's "other" work but that was a really bad film. I'll give "Death Proof" the nod over it but that's hardly a rousing endorsement.

No worries. You and I have talked about Death Proof in the "Recently viewed..." thread. My comment illustrates the 'different strokes for different folks" factor that comes with things like movie appreciation.
In this case you're wrong and I'm right but that's okay.

Yes, different strokes. In this case, "different" being you, and "strokes" being how wrong you are

Finally got a chance to watch this. I was underwhelmed. I thought it dragged and dragged and dragged some more. IMO, QT could have cut 45 minutes to an hour and left the core of the movie the same. The set up to each scene, the scenery, the travel by horseback, etc. did not add all that much and just made the movie longer not better. I also think they could have shaved off some of the dialogue to tighten up scenes.
The build up to the shoot out at the plantation was fine, but to continue on after that didn't make much sense to me. They could have modified the shootout scene and ended it there. The scenes after that and the return back to the house seemed anticlimactic, especially given that two of the main characters were already dead.

This movie finally hit Cinemax. I gotta say, I think it was great. Jamie Foxx and Christopher Waltz were excellent. I think more of Don Johnson would have helped. DiCaprio, who I usually think is great, was just OK. Sam Jackson didn't make sense in his role. But overall this was a totally enjoyable flick. I didn't mind all the violence, racial slurs and other stuff many seemed too. While it is overplayed, I'm sure there were patches of the country were it wasn't too far from the truth. 4.2 stars.
I have a love/hate relationship with QT movies. I loved Resevoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. Not so much on Kill Bill or Natural Born Killers. Django Unchained goes in the good category.

NBK isn't a Tarantino movie, Oliver Stone directed it (QT wrote the story but not the screenplay).

Finally saw this.
Pretty awesome. The first scene with SLJ had me in stitches - so horrible, yet so funny. Waltz was fantastic, and the early scene where he killed the sheriff was awesome ("You can get the marshall now."
). DiCaprio was also great as always, and Foxx did a good job with the Django character. I can't say this is as good as Pulp Fiction or the Basterds, but it's a mark of how great QT is when his non-best films are still this great.

I gues everyone is finally seeing this on cable.
Waltz is awesome, he makes the movie, Foxx too.
DiCaprio - this is a guy who it totally depends on the role. Sometimes he's believable, sometimes he's not. He never seemed believable to me in this role, seemed absurd and the accent was horrible.
Sam L. Jackson - the man just chews scenes. Can't quite decide if what his character did made sense or not. Fascinating seeing him in such a turncoat role.

I think it was already said in this thread, but it's amazing how QT always gets the best performances out of Jackson.
Also, I chuckled at Waltz's character using the expression "no worries" once near the beginning of the film. Isn't that a phrase that was non-existent until the last 15 years or so?

I suppose. Good job at finding such an obscure reference, too.

Don't know if you're aware or not but DiCaprio actually cut his hand wide open in the dining room scene,kept filming, and ad libbed the smeared blood on Kerry Washington's face so that he could stay in character

More recently it also came from Aussie culture. I remember hearing "no worries" 25 years ago there.I suppose. Good job at finding such an obscure reference, too.
