Re: I Like The Way You Die Boy - Django Unchained Movie Discussion
well if everybody is doing it, top:
1. Death Proof. Tarantino at his best, the movie stilistically is the best thing he has ever do
2. Inglorious Basterds A step up about the things that made amazing Death Proof, but the movie seems to take himself to seriously for moments.
3. Kill Bill. The begining of the new Tarantino, a beautiful collage of references transformed in something new with a more personal aproach

Re: I Like The Way You Die Boy - Django Unchained Movie Discussion
I saw this movie Christmas day and I enjoyed it a ton. Ive liked Waltz ever since I saw him in Inglorious Basterds and Leo was fucking amazing in the movie but Samuel Jackson stole the spotlight for me from the moment he hit the screen I had a smile on my face while watching.
There were a few tough seens to watch since I could probably guess shit like that happened way back when but overall movie was awesome. Right up there with Lawless,DKR, and Avengers as my fav movies of 2012.

Great movie! Everyone did a fantastic job but Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson stole the show for me. The dinner scene where Candie flips out is one of the best scenes I have ever seen in recent memory. My personal film of the year.
Plus, this song:
When this played during the big shootout near the end, SO BADASS

You mean Death Proof? I haven't seen that one. I saw Rodriguez's Planet Terror and enjoyed it.
I enjoyed Django too, but I didn’t think it was that great. DiCaprio, Waltz and Jackson were really good though and I’d watch it again just for them.
Some things annoyed me a little, like Django being a great marksman with his first ever try and Steven completely sussing them out just by noticing a couple of glances they shared. A little more could have been done here, like have something in Django’s past where he learned to shoot, or maybe a montage of him learning.
As for them getting sprung during the dinner, it all seemed a bit forced. Steven really had no right to be bang on with his observations with what he saw.
Favourite scene is probably the one where Tarantino got exploded. Proper cracked me up.
Re: I Like The Way You Die Boy - Django Unchained Movie Discussion
As soon as I saw that Samuel L. Jackson was playing the head house negro, I knew I had to see it. Him, Leo, and Waltz were so good. I saw it the day it came out. I did not even mind that it was 3 hours long because I was laughing so hard.
Re: I Like The Way You Die Boy - Django Unchained Movie Discussion
I really enjoyed this.
I thought Di Caprio, Jackson, Waltz and Foxx all acted brilliantly, and they all deserve all of the merit they get.
I don't know if I can spoil anything here? I'm not familiar with using spoiler tags, so don't read ahead if you don't want it spoiled....

The only thing I thought wasn't great was when Django was captured at the end, sold and then bartered with Tarantino and other Australians. The final shoot out scene and shoot out scene before then was fantastically over the top, but I just didn't enjoy that scene. It seemed to me like that didn't fit. I mean, it obviously fitttt, I just didn't accept it. Sure enough they could have killed him but thought this was worse, but I just thought the ending went WILD with the dinner scene, IMMENSE with the shoot out involving Di Caprio and Waltz's chraracter, DULL with the Australians, then WILD again for the final shoot out. Anybody else feel that way? I downloaded it so I honestly feel like I downloaded a cut of it that wasn't necessarily shown in cinemas because that bit, especially because it was Tarantino, was a joke.
I also read a lot of film websites and magazines and time and time again it came up about how Walt Goggins was to blow everyone away in this film and it was to make him a star. I never read reviews because I didn't want to spoil it, but anyone have any idea why his role seemed so lackluster after reading so much about him? He was good, but he was just a bit part player and had been built and built.
I've also read the scene about the blood, and we as wrestling fans know better than anyone that real blood can improve something massively but also needs to be used safely, and as much as I believe it's real I can only think that Di Caprio and Washington were as close as can be because I can't really accept that anyone would have someone wipe blood on them without them expecting it.
Don Johnson was classic in this, too, and his scene and scenes involving his farm were amazing. "Are you positive it is him?" "Iunno," "You're not positive?" "I dunno what positive mean..." haha, I legit at that moment thought this film was one of the best I had ever seen. Waltz's acting in this was amazing.
Did anyone else see the man fall off his horse when they were all running down the hill and get trampled? And how James Ramar randomly played two parts?
