HOLY SHIT way too slow. A good dozen scenes needed to be cut completely in half. Good film but QT cannot restrain himself, too excessive. In no way could I see Will Smith as Django, I thought Foxx was great, as was DiCaprio, Waltz, and SAMUEL L. JACKSON! But...the hand shake scene. The dinner scene. The opening scene. The mask joke. Django convincing the men he was a bounty hunter. So many scenes needed to be trimmed significantly. The film feels as bloated as Sherman Klump. Way too self indulgent. The entire film felt like the final 30 minutes of 'Return of the King'.

Part of me really wishes they had given the cast & premise to Gore Verbinski or JJ Abrams or OMG Michael Bay. I think I would have enjoyed it a lot more. This movie doesnt know if it is a crowd pleaser or artsy gore flick. It tries and fails miserably at walking the line.

wondered the same thing clearly fake, unless jamie foxx is like 5 feet tall?

actually upon google, dick pics of Foxx already exist.

yes it was a prosthetic.

But was it Zoe, and who was she, She had a couple closeups of her eyes and her bandanna. Just curious. Did she die and I missed it

ewwww

Apparently it was her. She seemed to be killed in the shack when Django came back to attack the plantation. She was in the shack with the dog owners and the guy in the bath tub that got his dick shot off.

Yes, everyone in that shack got shot up.

What's so great about that character? It wasn't Boba Fett. It's just another masked person to be killed. Nothing special 'bout that.

So if a filmmaker (and I don't mean Tarantino here, just a random Somebody) used to make incredible films, and now he only makes excellent ones, he should then retire?



Question, Excel: Do you think the tavern scene in Inglourious Basterds is too slow?

I love the tavern scene.

It has been a bit since I saw In glorious Bastards, but I like thatd more than Django. I thought it was slow at times too, but cant recall any specific scenes.

Since it was Zoe, I first agreed with you, but now realize it was just him hiding her face, and it's more of a cool Easter Egg like Peter Jackson and Cate Blanchett in Hot Fuzz

I hope so because it was pretty......white?

Yeah, it was pretty great, dragged a little too much in the middle, and should have ended a little sooner. However, Dr. King Shultz is right up there with my all time favorite characters who, I'm sorry, is quite different than Hans Landa, and the handshake scene is one of my all time favorite Tarantino scenes, so epic.

"100 Black Coffins" is one of my favorite original songs of the year.

The film will grow on you Magnus

Yeah, it isn't one of my favorites because it didn't wow me and leave me walking on air like some of his other films, but it also has his best character bond between Schultz and Django.

That one was funny, and the two had fantastic chemistry, no doubt about it, but it did not have the same emotional appeal.

That being said, Pulp Fiction, I liked more.

But I will say, ironically, Django was kinda flat when compared to films like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, and Inglorious Basterds, so yeah I was a little underwhelmed, and yeah, the last twenty minutes or should have not been there as the final battle should have happened right after the handshake scene.

The scene where he tells Django the German legend by the fire is told is so moving.

You are so fucking glib, lol.

Magnus' heart is a rocky place where cinema's magic can find no purchase.

I am grateful for the compliment.

Nobody in my theater got that. I laughed while everybody else

And I found Waltz to be nothing special. Foxx, Dicaprio, and Jackson were all better.

Calvins sister even.

they need to do a remake of this in like 3 years with the same cast but a more commercial director.

I would much rather be the way I am, soft and enthusiastic, than regard everything through ten layers of ironic air quotes, entitlement, self-conscious disdain, etc.

So jog on.
