Re: Django Unchained Discussion
Finally saw this recently, and I thought it was fantastic.
Well, except for the pointless Tarantino cameo, with the REALLY bad Australian accent.
I'm not sure if he was trying to make a point of Australian's being just as racist back then as American's with their use of the word nigger, but I've never heard an Aussie refer to an Aboriginal as a "blacky"...

Luke duke in it!!!!!!! Nice!!!
I spotted that too. Very cool!
Re: Django Unchained Discussion
The "scheme" of Waltz character was pretty cool, the first time. When they go through the exact same diatribe 5 minutes later the punch is all but gone. Something happened to him during Kill Bill (which were good films). Now his trademark "coolness" feels very tacked on. Almost every minute you have a character saying something in a very stilted, artificial way.
And I know this is a film about slavery, but I gotta say Tarantino (and Scorsese) have an odd fascination and habit of creating characters who love to say "nigger".

Love this movie and I was pleasantly surprised to see Tarantino/Waltz both win Oscars last night.

Yeah, I feel the same way about the modern Tarentino films. I think they're still watchable but I have no desire to rewatch them a second or third time. I think part of it is pacing. I find portions of the film interesting while the other parts just sit there and kill the flow for me. Pulp Fiction is 154 minutes long yet it flies by when I'm watching it. The last few films have been a damn chore to get through.
He's moved away from the crime genre which has hurt him. It's nice that he's trying to branch out but at this point it seems like he's recycled the revenge film to death (Kill Bill films, Inglorious Basterds, Django Unchained).
