Django Unchained or Another Thread to Ignore

[IdolEyes787]

So I read the script for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming film Django Unchained (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1853728/) and I have a hard time believing that DiCaprio signed onto it without a family member held hostage or gun being held to his head or that a film studio considers something with a slave freeing German bounty hunter named Dr. King Schultz (what wit:mellow:)as a thing to be taken seriously.
Anyway Tarantino has always flown in the face of convention but a homage to Mandingo has to set the bar for stupid ideas.I can only suppose that the whole thing is suppose to be some edgy yukfest that I lack the coolness to get so basically Inglourious Basterds with more racism.

Also I am so over his required inclusion of fashionable has-beens in key roles that it isn't funny.I might be wrong but these past their prime actors are has-beens specifically because no one is really interested in seeing them anymore.
Oh course the same could be said of Jamie Foxx and he's still gets work.

Anything to do with Sukiyaki Western Django, like perhaps a sequel?

They are both movies.

They are both movies starring minorities as opposed to your preferred type of film which star minors.

Other than that I suppose Tarantino couldn't come up with an appropriately period name for a Black person as "Coffey" wouldn't work and Ordell he already used so he stole Django from that movie who in turn stole it from this (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060315/). Black,Asian ,Mexican ,Italian who really cares as long as it's sounds ethnic and makes as little sense as possible.

That's live action theatre, not film.

I think I was just forgetting that Tarantino only acted in Sukiyaki and had nothing to do with the production or writing.

Anyways, this is what we seem to be getting to:

I would happily pay $10.50 to see a movie that featured everybody vs. everybody.More if it was in 3D.

OK maybe not with Adam Sandler.

You know Johnny Depp could have made a movie based on his blind gunslinger from Once Upon a Time in Mexico but made The Tourist instead .:mellow:

Also why is it called a Mexican standoff even though Mexicans are hardly ever involved?

Bad news, that was the whole thing and not just the trailer. Or maybe that's good news, guess it depends.

I'm sorry Wikipedia is down for you today, but if you start slamming Escape button the instant the page loads, you'll still be able to read it. It's obviously 100 % legitimate since it's on Wikipedia, and they say to ask Australia since Cambridge says it originated there. But I'm guessing it's just veiled racism.

At least until the inevitable unrated director's cut.

Yeah, I know the one you're talking about... his Mexican Standoff with Dane Cook.

Dane Cook, I don't think there has been a comedian that went faster from people loving to people hating since Andrew Dice Clay. Most like Mike Myers or Jim Carey take years for that to happen or they simply tumble into irrelevance like Joe Piscopo.
