The screenplay's a good read.

He's remaking the same movie over and over in different settings, though. Shosanna vs. Nazis in general and Landa in particular; Django vs. slaveholders in general and Calvin Candie in particular.

It does read an awful lot like Bastards--makes me wonder what the third in a rescue trilogy would be.
― the hairy office thing (Eazy), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:37 (fourteen years ago)
(er, make that Basterds)
― the hairy office thing (Eazy), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:40 (fourteen years ago)
I was thinking of Django as part 3 of a revenge trilogy with Kill Bill and IB. I'd rather he made an entirely new film than play around in formal exercises.

So what's next, his science fiction epic?
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:45 (fourteen years ago)
^^ otm, i was hoping this was the last of his revenge fantasies too. i mean, once you've done the Holocaust revenge fantasy and the slavery revenge fantast, how exactly do you go bigger?
(xpost)
but i am still looking forward to this. i realize its no longer trendy to say so, but i really love pretty much every movie he's done on some level.

Baldo vs Minuvaxxians in general and BleepBorp in particular.

lol, would watch

Can't wait to see who plays BleepBorp

john connor vs. machines in general and skynet in particular

Early money is on Leif Garrett.

i really love pretty much every movie he's done on some level.
i can honestly say that i like pretty much every movie he's done, but the drop-off after kill bill 1 has been pretty severe.
― preternatural concepts concerning variances in sound and texture (contenderizer), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:52 (fourteen years ago)
i don't know if i would go with "severe", but noticeable, sure. but i think Death Proof is underrated and i thought Basterds was a bounce back up in quality.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 19:53 (fourteen years ago)
agree w all that. death proof has some pretty major flaws, but is better than its rep suggests. basterds is almost there, but the pieces don't quite fit together and pitt's performance is horrible. still pretty enthused abt django unchained.

not excited about presence of Sweaty Bigface

pretty excited about everything else tho
Foxx'll likely do fine, but the screenplay really does read perfectly for Will Smith.
― the hairy office thing (Eazy), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:08 (fourteen years ago)
yeah, still kinda disappointed that he wouldn't do this. lol @ Tom Wopat being in this tho.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:12 (fourteen years ago)
absolutely hate Will Smith, glad he's not in this
― Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
also lol @ Tarantino starring in a Takashi Miike movie in 2007 called Sukiyaki Western Django
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:14 (fourteen years ago)
i really can't stand most of Smith's work either, but for some reason this felt perfect for him.
― heated debate over derpy hooves (jon /via/ chi 2.0), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:15 (fourteen years ago)
I think he's only gotten better since KB1 frankly.
― Fig On A Plate Cart (Alex in SF), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:18 (fourteen years ago)
for those who've read the script: any signature tarantino dialogue?
"dick dick dick..." *bang* *cue morricone theme*"how many dicks was that?""three.""THANK YOU"
― HE HATES THESE CANS (Austerity Ponies), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 20:33 (fourteen years ago)
3 1/2 pages of dialogue by masked raiders complaining that they can't see through the eyeholes that Willard's wife cut into the bags they're wearing.
...too spoilery?
― improvised explosive advice (WmC), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 21:32 (fourteen years ago)
for some reason i don't really ever consider death proof as "A Quentin Tarantino Film"
― ♆ (gr8080), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:09 (fourteen years ago)
I loved Death Proof in the theater, slightly less in the DVD director's cut (though the scene w/ Mary Elizabeth Winstead singing is <3), it's probably my #2 Tarantino behind KB1.
― Kiarostami bag (milo z), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:11 (fourteen years ago)
Director's Cut is totally worse. was much funnier when the lapdance scene was cut out.
― Jilly Boel and the Eltones (Shakey Mo Collier), Wednesday, 11 April 2012 22:14 (fourteen years ago)
i love that googling any random female celebrity these days, auto-fill brings up "___________ feet" as one of the top results. (noticed yet again when googling MEW to remember which character she was)

cool poster. the blocky, woodcut-style chain reminds me very strongly of ... something, but i can't remember what. it's on the tip of my mind.

thanks for making it creepy Phil :)

It doesn't have to be creepy. I'd be very quiet.

bleah
anyway, yeah it is very saul bass-like. but i think there's a famous book cover or film poster illustration of a chain that looks almost exactly like that. wish my brain wasn't hash.
