Quentin Tarantino's Western movie "Django Unchained"

I'll admit there was a time ILX was "real life" for me

Nothing is real, etc.

xpost yes but Buster Keaton is #1 in your tiny black heart Morbs, and isn't all that really matters

tbh this is all that matters to me; Morbs #1

You'll have to get through a lot of #2 to get there.

morbs doesn't anger me; i would characterize it as irritation.

i mean, i don't care if he likes or doesn't like tarantino, or whoever. i can't stand p.t. anderson's films, and i've had interesting conversations with people who love them. at a certain point, we just agree to disagree (maybe one of us has caused the other to rethink things in a way that might pay off months or years later). so this isn't about taste (although, it is irksome that morbius thinks that by announcing his distaste for something he seems to feel like he's upsetting the ILX hivemind or something, when in fact lots and lots of people--even on this site!--share this or that opinion with him). it's a question of how you argue, how you interact with other people--whether you show any respect for them by acknowledging a difference of opinion and then exchange the feelings and/or reasoning behind those opinions. or just needle them over and over and over and etc. about how they are wrong/stupid/predictable and you are not.

or at least if you are just gonna say "yeah, i don't really like back to the future," you can do it in a straightforward --not nasty, not judgmental--way that doesn't imply a total lack of respect for those of a different opinion.

in other words, suggest ban.

I have made my peace with QT. ultimately, we just get off on different things. but i do admire the seeming sincerity he has for his material (there always seems to be an emotional core to his movies, and you get the feeling that this stuff, this way of interpreting the world, really resonates for him). I am anticipating this!

yes, anticipating this!

i sort of doubt it will blow open the windows of my mind but i can't imagine it will be less than entertaining.

xxpost if that's the grounds for banning morbs, it's grounds for banning a whole bunch of other posters who are also generally cool people.

...is my feeling, anyway.

he's totally disrespectful on ILX, which is why I don't mind mocking him here even though I enjoy the guy's presence when we're both at glamorous NY gatherings. But I don't get the point of being po-faced about it; it's pretty clear he doesn't give a fuck so Flag Post, zing or ignore.

I think the grounds for banning morbs are that he triggers constant derails that are focused on morbs.

Don't feed the troll.

I'll take zings for $100 alex

derailing a quentin tarantino thread with gratuitous chatter feels appropriate

I'd like some nachos please.

what do they call The Hunger Games in France?

Battle Royale with Cheese

...i think i've also managed to not really condescend to QT anymore...like, he does, in my opinion, take the themes and emotions of his films seriously. and maybe my predilection for the po-faced philosophical engagement of a Kubrick or a Malick is simply that and doesn't mean that QT can't find life lessons in kung fu films. i mean, shit, that's practically what kung fu films are always hitting you over the head with!

so is sweaty bigface the villain here...?

has to be

totally hate him, look forward to him being killed

that's some p sweet costuming!

everybody looks so clean

Is that green suede?

everybody looks so clean

my secret shame is that i really do prefer clean people

When was the last time Leo wasn't all serious Oscar actor? Catch Me If You Can?

Anyway, I hope he has a hilariously bad southern accent.

catch me was a pretty serious performance! also i doubt he was expecting a statue for Body Of Lies

he looks so much like kenneth branagh in Wild Wild West there, suddenly tarantino writing the lead role for will smith makes so much sense now

OK, when was the last time Leo was silly on purpose, then?

j edgar

he didn't smile once in the J. Edgar Hoover, not even when he put on a dress.

i have been anticipating dicaprio's choice of accent in this since it was announced.

i'm guessing foghorn leghorn crossed with paul lynde, but i might be hoping for too much here.

thank you for helplessly posting giant mandingo

Cannes report from Deadline.com:

And for Christmas Day Weinstein is promising Tarantino’s provocative western starring Jamie Foxx as an ex-slave out for revenge and Oscar winner Christoph Waltz as a diabolical travelling dentist who has a giant tooth atop his covered wagon. Leonardo DiCaprio, Don Johnson, Kerry Washington and Samuel L. Jackson co-star.

...a generous never-before-seen 10 minutes was unveiled from Django and judging from the unconventional footage and politically incorrect dialogue it should prove to be a wild and typically-Quentin ride for the Weinsteins, as is usually the case with Tarantino. (Weinstein) said Django still is in production for another month and may be adding a couple of “surprise” co-stars. At one time Sacha Baron Cohen was slated to participate but had to drop out and Kurt Russell’s schedule also became problematic for the production as he was committed elsewhere and they fell behind.

LOL at Waltz tooth wagon.
