Mayhem of the Black Underclass		2012-04-27 08:50:04 AM

Have you seen Sukiyaki Western Django? Very hard to engage with the story. But the acting is awesome and so are the visuals. I don't know why you'd force your non-english speaking cast to speak english. I'd say it was a movie poster, like you could put that on a flat screen and let it play on your wall all day (with the sound off) and it would actually be a worthwhile piece of art. With the sound on you'd have to listen to quentin tarantino imitate the non-english speakers cadence and intonation, which was just barely easier to understand, but how the cooking eggs thing fit into the entire story? I got no clue.

Time Traveling Bunnies		2012-04-27 08:52:00 AM

Add me to the list of people who still like Tarantino. I don't care if he is influenced by preceding artists. That's how even better art is made. From his story in Four Rooms to Inglourious Basterds, I've loved every minute.

"Say what one more time. I dare ya, I double dare you mother farker!"

I love QT, and I love the first Django movie (the one directed by Sergio Corbucci).
This will be good.

Tarantino smoked hash with Brad Pitt.

Seems like it has potential, good actors and story.

Calmamity: Mugato: 9beers: Yes, because QT isn't known for anything else. He writes better dialogue when he's drunk than other screenwriters are capable of.

Except for Death Proof. The dialog scenes in that film were brutal to sit through.

What do you expect? He was drunk.

No... wait.

He also wrote True Romance, which was a pretty good movie.

RyansPrivates		2012-04-27 09:39:52 AM

Nogrhi: Mugato: If Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't say too much or shows he can play it straight.

I thought he did a good job in Sweeny Todd. I hate him in pretty much everything else though.

He was fantastic in Hugo, IMHO. Kinda of a pathetic/pitiful type character, but he pulled it off.

devilEther		2012-04-27 09:48:23 AM

vudukungfu: devilEther: Tarantino smoked hash with Brad Pitt.

He also hung out at Lars Ulrich's place and they drank beer late into the night. That's probably not as appealing to most.

Your headline had me hoping for a midget western, subby.

WHERE IS MY TARANTINO MIDGET WESTERN.

Mugato: Looks like a good cast. If Sacha Baron Cohen doesn't say too much or shows he can play it straight.

I saw Samuel L. Jackson in an iPhone commercial. He must have just wrapped a movie and had a half hour before he started the next one so he shot a commercial.

He was great in Hugo.

Hebalo		2012-04-27 10:08:52 AM

I don't get the haters. Inglorious Basterds was easily his best. He's matured a LOT as a director, though he still lacks a good editor or someone to convince him to cut the chaff from his films. He has the potential to be one the greats, is often sunk by his ego.

Sultan Of Herf		2012-04-27 10:11:23 AM

Dwight_Yeast: wildcardjack: Or a James Bond.

He actually wrote a long memo and sent it to EON Productions on how they should reboot the Bond franchise. They won't admit it, but some of the ideas made it into Casino Royale.

/I'd prefer to see him create his own spy movie series, as I believe one of his points was that Bond HAS to be set during the Cold War. It's why he doesn't work so well any more.

I agree completely. Not saying they cant make any more Bond films, they just need to return to the proper setting.

A current spy series would almost have to be based in the Middle East or CHina/Korea.

do people really think that? Death Proof is farking AWESOME. Tarantino's dialog always feels pretty real. none of the scenes in Death Proof drag at all. Hell, probably the best scene in the film (that isn't the final chase scene) is Zoe Bell and the other girls just shootin' the shiat in the diner.

do people just want to be spoon fed violence? the girls talking in Death Proof feels every bit as authentic as, say Travolta's scene in Pulp Fiction when he is just buying product at his dealer's house. The final chase scene is arguably one of the best chase scenes ever filmed.

Death Proof rules.

I like how the dialogue in the diner scene is seemingly trivial at the time, but what is said factors into events that occur later in the film.

I like all the dialogue with the second group of girls. It's the first group of girls that bored the shiat out of me. Fortunately, Rosario Dawson, Zoe Bell and Tracie Thoms kicking the shiat out of a sobbing Kurt Russell made up for everything.

I don't even want to think about what happened to Mary Elizabeth Winstead.

He's right. It was a chick flick, mixed in with some grind house exploitation.

There are two types of people in the world: Those who Love Tarantino's work, and those who want to punch him in the head for it. Count me as one who LOVES this guy's work!

I never liked Kung Foo movies: Kill Bill 1 & 2 are my favorites of all time. I don't care for WW2 movies, yet IB is the farking shiat! (We got a Nzai here who wants to die for his country. Oblige HIM!) Tarantino takes the most obscure shiat into the most played out genres, and makes it sing!

I think Cohen is going to surprise the hell outta people in this one, and should pave the way nicely for folks going to see him in the Freddie Murcury Biopic. I remember thinking 'Jim Carrey can't pull off drama' because all I could visualize was Ace Ventura, and damn if I'm not still pissed he never got a nod for 'Eternal Sunshine'.

And Death Proof. Zoe Bell riding on the hood of that Charger is the shiat!!!!!!

/I *heart* you, QT..tee hee...call me!

"I love Tarantino's films. I don't care if it's not cool any more.

His films are consistently fun. He has his own world, his own style. You can argue that his style is nothing more than a mishmash of elements of other people's style, but there is no one else out there turning out films that look and feel like his."

Big yep. If it's QT, I'll watch it at least once. Usually I wind up watching more than once. QT is the farkin' man.

SpoilerAlert		2012-04-27 12:01:20 PM

Seems like there's more love than hate for him in this thread. As someone who is also a fan of cheesy older exploitation movies and kung-fu I love his work. To me his movies are visual love letters to genres he enjoys. His influence led to working with the Wienstiens on releasing high quality DVD/Blu Ray transfers of some of the best kung fu movies through the Dragon Dynasty label. I really like Western movies, so I'm looking forward to seeing Django.

dougfm		2012-04-27 12:01:52 PM

I've enjoyed every QT film except for one, Kill Bill Part 1. I thought Uma Thurman handled that sword with all the finess of a baseball player aiming for the fence. Nobody writes dialogue like Tarantino however and he is more well-known for that than violence in his movies. And the whole foot fetish thing as well.

Inaditch		2012-04-27 12:08:12 PM

Also, there isn't a director working today who uses music more effectively than Tarantino.

XMark		2012-04-27 12:09:32 PM

Long on violence, short on everything else? Has subby ever watched a Tarantino movie? Sure there will be violence, but QT's known for writing lots of long dialogue scenes building up to the violent parts.

Why is everyone coming out like its some ground-breaking discovery that he takes ideas and themes from other movies????

He must have said in 1,001 different interviews that he is constantly watching old movies, then he goes out and films one of his own in whatever styles floats his boat that week (Samurai, WW2, now western, etc)

Mattevil		2012-04-27 01:52:10 PM

I just hope he uses an actual score this time. Inglorious Bastards I think suffered from not waiting for that original Ennio Morricone score they were going to do.

Tarantino flims are required by law to contain 50% violence, 25% inane chatter and 25% close-ups of women's feet.

(Loved Kill Bill and IB. Death Proof...not so much)

He's like in that 1% of directors who seems to completely ignore modern movie-making trends. Yes, you can say some of his stuff is derivative but he mashes them up in a way that hasn't been seen before.

Some of his stuff is derivative? Some? There were maybe five shots in Inglourious Basterds that weren't derivative of Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah, or the director of the Dirty Dozen.

Not that that's a bad thing. It's still a good movie, but Tarantino is more of a cinematic mix tape DJ than some trend defying auteur.

Also, who cares about how much violence is in this movie? As long as it has the requisite foot fetish photography and lots of racial slurs, I'll be just fine.

Don't forget the shot looking up from inside the trunk of a car.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2012-04-27 03:33:16 PM

Live Tarantino films, but I hated Inglorious Basterds... To be fair, it was my own fault. My expectations were tainted because of the initial rumors that it was going to be a Saving Private Ryan style bloodbath starring Stallone, Willis, Arnold, Adam Sandler and Eddie Murphy.

Open Range
Red Hill (modern day Australian)
The 3:10 to Yuma remake

Death Proof rules.

Death Proof is the, um, proof that Taratino is the most successful feminist director ever. See also Kill Bill and Jackie Brown.

Discuss.

(Inglorious Basterds also had a little tiny bit of that, but that was mostly a "Jewish revenge flick". Note that two seperate groups of Jews (well, one group had one Jew and one black guy) kill Hitler-at the same time-and neither even notices the other group even exists.)

oh - I see now that this was mentioned. Yes, it's not a shoot-em-up, but I loved the character dynamics and the cinematography and, indeed, the pace... Not to mention that I am a sucker for films that make every effort to stay true to the known historical facts, which this one did in spades. cheers
