McBackup Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I thought his character developed enough, and I wouldn't necessarily say he was out acted, but out of the main characters he was by far the least interesting. In fairness to him Christpoh Waltz out acts pretty much everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Humble Rodent Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't know, for me each character had their own distinct personality and mannerisms. They were all memorable, they all seemed like Tarantino characters. Except for Django, he was just another one of those generic 'badass' action movie protagonists.

McBackup Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Look maan, CDC actually has a pretty good thread going on it for once, we don't need you coming in here and just being all condescending and stuff. Normally I'm not opposed to stirring crap up, but you could at least add a little more to the discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TOMapleLaughs Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Not sure why i saw 'Killer Joe' in this thread. That movie was horrible. Luna Lovegood from Harry Potter? She's 24 now, but looked like jailbait in the movie. So... Full frontal? M'kay. What saves the movie from a total loss (besides jailbait nudity) is Thomas Haden Church's hilarious performance as a total numbskull. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:D Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I don't get the oscar nominations for Silver Linings Playbook. I had dismissed it as stupid as soon as I saw the trailer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgillnuck Posted January 11, 2013 Author Share Posted January 11, 2013 I'm totally shocked that Beasts of the Southern Wild was nominated for best picture, but I'm sure glad it was. Between the best picture nomination and the youngest best actress nomination in history for Quvenzhane Wallis, it's going to get a whole lot more exposure now. I really can't recommend it highly enough. I'm equally shocked that The Master wasn't nominated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tortorella's Rant Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Pffft. Wet blankets are upset about Django Unchained. Every film involving violence and or profanity and or racism should have a warning: This film is not suited for the easily offended and cry babies.

Armada Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 uhm, people aren't really crying about the violence or F-word, they're crying about Tarantino's continued insistence on using the N-word and his bizarre treatment of black people in his movies not saying I agree with the criticism, but let's not soften it by saying it's simply a matter of people being offended by 'violence and profanity,' when Tarantino's shtick is like 40% shock value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GLASSJAW Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Well, it's a Tarantino movie. Maybe people aren't familiar with his work, that's fine. But you're going to be in for a surprise. And when you understand the central theme of the movie and you're upset because of the content that is in the movie and you still decided to see it anyway, well, who's fault is that? And if you didn't know what the movie was about, decided to see it anyway and was offended by the content, again, who's fault is that? Maybe I'm sounding like a dick but I'm tired of people complaining about crap that is totally avoidable in the first place. A film involving slavery and violence might offend black people. Really?! I don't like watching Game 7 of the 2011 SCF but I don't go to youtube, watch it, then complain publicly about it afterwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armada Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 If people are concerned with the old chestnut of "race" they should avoid things that are racially controversial? The n word is famously used in Tarantino's own scene in Pulp Fiction, and used frequently throughout Jackie Brown as well (38 times). Some critics are concerned with his commitment to the word, not his recent thematic interest in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
