I've seen the trailer for this at the theater a few times.

Right now, I have no plans to see this movie.  I was ..tempted by Inglorous Basterds despite having some...I'll say concerns..and I went to see it at the theater.  I hated it...though I did think the one guy did a good job - the one who played the Nazi..just can't remember his name.  I just don't like his movies and don't think he is that great or talented.  I have seen some of his other movies and I really didn't care much for them either.  So I don't care to fork over money to see another of his movies in the theaters again.  I'm not even sure I'd want to rent it either..maybe if it turned up one of my cable channels some day and I had nothing else to watch.

Christoph Waltz


I watched Django in the theatre the day before yesterday. I couple of friends and I went into a local small theatre that plays smaller or arthouse movie or - more importantly - movies in "O-Ton" (not dubbed).

The room was sold out to the last seat in the first row and as usual there were a lot of foreign students who watched the movie in their native tongue.

We had a great time. I enjoyed the movie from the very beginning (you know, where Dr. Schultz explained the slave their options) to the final song. I immediately recognized Tom Wopat (Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard) and Don Johnson but I almost actually missed Samuel L. Jackson until he opened his mouth.

Actually, Jackson was the hardest-to-understand person in the film. The easiest person to understand was Waltz when he was speaking German.  :tease:


I'd say this movie was a typical Tarrantino, from the bloody deaths to the problems the KKClan members were having with their masks. You either like or you don't. I do. Immensly.


I don't know if the final song actually was from the original Django but I knew it from my favourite Western heroes:

Nothing like watching My Name is Nobody (not the one you were talking about but it is my favorite out of the trilogy  :) )
Thank you

I finally got round to seeing this yesterday, and while I really enjoyed it I don't think it's a great film. I felt the middle section (the bit between them finding the Brittle bothers and arriving at Candie Land) dragged on for too long, and there was a sharp change of tone at the end which just confused me.

I've heard of some criticism over setting the film during the slave period, and while I understand their concerns I don't agree with them. I certainly don't think he trivialised the treatment of the slaves or made light of them (although there were some darkly funny moments).
