  I think you guys are great...BUT,  you are allowing the use of the N-word seem worse than people getting killed or raped in movies....give me a break.  Django is a very good movie and you know it.  Sounds like one of the guys got mad and you totally wimped out on what you really think...you guys are better than that.

  Good film but it did feel uneven to me, I was more interested in the second half of the film then I was with the first; which had me somewhat bored. However The character of King Shultz was highly entertaining to me, overall I give it a rental.

  HOLY SHIT! I don't want to sound mean, since I like you guys, but I have no idea what you're talking about. Seriously; I think your reasons for disliking this film are all bullshit, and it's made me question your film knowledge. This film is Better than Sex, and is up there with Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. It's a masterpiece; best film of the year.

  Sorry Spill crew but as much as I love you reviews normally, and I even respect your negative ones, I find myself questioning your reviews for this. I can see where you're coming from in regards to the tone being uneven but judging from this video review, I can't help think that you're issue is more to do with Tarantino's heavy use of the N word. Tarantino is what Tarantino is and I loved Django Unchained for it and I think it's way too late for people to start questioning his taste especially if you've liked his films in the past.

  Too bad Leon dislikes Quentin Tarantino.  Sounds like he has a personal vendetta against Tarantino.  I did not find the use of the "N" word offensive but to each their own.  The spill crew can use racial and homosexual words in an entertaining way but when Tarantino uses it for entertainment it's wrong?  Double standard fellas. I thought the movie was good but not great. Hopefully better reviews to come.  I use the word "review" very lightly.

  Frankly, GINORMOUS ANUS, I love Spill.com because I love what it represents--even the theme song--because I'm very poor. No shit--I love the lyric "Cinema, matinee, haven't got $7.50 to pay", because I find myself not being to afford matinee prices (at $6.50) so much that I can't even enjoy movies much any more; and if I have some 'BIIIIG' problem NOT being an asshole, I'd guess that'd be one of the least of my worries (and NONE of anybody else's, jack-o).
  What's more, "People like you are why people hate the United States", and "9-11", and "you're why there's war in the middle east".
  Did I go far enough?
  Sorry, just didn't feel like coaching you through puberty.

  Microshock, you're an idiotic asshole. I'm giving you a 'by' only because your profile shows you live in Brooklyn, so there's nothing you can do about that, or me. Otherwise, of course everybody has to deal with energetic little anuses like you online all the time, regardless of whether they're like me and use their actual, REAL photo, as a matter of honesty, or some trolling little bragging idiot like yourself. Try not to piss me off too bad--I can type faster and better than you could even punch me.
  I'm hoping you come through my hometown now, find me in a crowd, and tap me lovingly on the shoulder in order to punch me in the face, now, jerkoff. I'd really like that.

  How provocative, you little pussy.

  Gee, I can say that word--plus I don't have 'Jesus as Kenny Loggins' as my pic here.

  I guess my notion was, 'watch what you say online'--even more so now, since I'm always easily provoked. To me, in fact, what you have to say is a 'little shocking', frankly (get it--'micro'...'shock'? Cuz, you need one).

  Black or white, you need a hot peck on the head, Dinozzio-style, for being such as asshooooooole (and I hope you get the reference there, too, pally).

  I'm sure this will 'settle' you down, and 'cure ya' of your...ummm, dilemma (you're an asshole, if you missed my point). Keep calling ME a pussy online, and you never know what might happen--however, I assure you it won't be good for you...

  But, then, neither are YOU, good for you.  Shut the fuck up (fuck being 'you').

  Wow, didn't know I had it in me. And, while you're at it, quit calling up old memories for me, asshole--I may have been black in a former life, and you're harshing my 'white-buzz'.

  ike, are you such a pussy that you can't even WRITE the word nigger? You're clearly trying very hard to be politically correct, probably because you feel guilty about being white. Grow a pair of balls.

  If you're so weak that you can't watch these movies, don't watch them. They're not for you. Quentin doesn't make movies to satisfy everyone (clearly). 

  It's like if i hated Michael Bay and continued to go to every one of his movies just so i can complain on a comment thread about it being a 'bad' movie. Just don't go, and don't whine. There's thousands upon thousands of other movies that never use the word nigger and don't portray slavery in any way.

  as for 'the word'--I don't consider it 'whiny' to at least try and respect a culture, race, and/or creed, especially seeing as how I don't have a nest egg saved up to begin anonymously paying them reparations. Me, I'm dumb and hopeless enough to sit here hoping blindly 'my government' has already started doing that through college scholarships (I also hope to win the lottery someday--and not the $4 ticket, either).

  I will say that I won't be citing 'the word', nor will I be 'rubbing' ANY body's nose in their cowardice for not 'being able to say it', until I am visited by the Cocoon aliens and receive 'my new race' to match my 'inherent right'.  While I am still caucasian I'm never saying 'it' unless I lose my marbles, no matter the situation...probably not trolling the 'net to show how 'big' I am for being able to fork that one out.

  Nick put it better--one reason I initially hated 'Basterds' was his fantasy of 'The Bear Jew'--I might be 'torn' over whether to like that character, were I Jewish, though. Keeping in the perspective that Tarantino exploits race issues for his own ends, it's pretty obvious--but that really is his oeuvre. It's his--currently, until somebody else makes a voodoo pact and steals his mojo, anyway--not impossible to emulate, at all; but he really does own it, along with a whole package of skilled directorial techniques that make his version unique--again, for now.

  BTW, my favorite WWF 'actor' is still Bill Goldberg (I tolerated his schlock more because his signature move, the spear, was so awesomely decisive and dramatic--like a charging bull)...BUT, I don't know if I could sit through 'Basterds' for 5 minutes if my great-aunt-or-uncle, grammy/pappaw, or anybody I'd ever heard of, had died during the holocaust...in fact, pretty sure I'd be really incensed.

  Tarantino does this to every race, and his work is his signature move, as well--it's gonna be quintessentially controversial, and I'm happy sitting directly on the fence (like I had no balls), because--again--I'm no film student (paying or otherwise); his films are charged with a brutally effective technique that grabs moviegoers, and maybe helps so many justify paying the high ticket prices we have these days.

  His movies could not be made without this technique, that's certain, and each one is a hallmark to his style.

  What a bunch of shitty whiny bullshit. 
  The word nigger is just that: a word. Grow a thicker fucking skin before you go into a QUENTIN TARANTINO movie.

  Well actually I wasn't really up for seeing it but I went with a friend, after like the first conflict movie grabbed my attention.

  Just as a follow up, Huck Finn, written by white Mark Twain, was published in 1885, 20 years after slavery was banned. Mark Twain lived during the slave era, so he kind of knew what he was talking about. there are 217 uses of the word nigger in that book.

  I think you guys are doing this film a disservice by giving it such a poor review over the use of a word. Bitch all you want, this is reflective of the time period. Dont believe me? read Huck Finn and count the niggers in there.Yeah, Tarantino used slavery as a vehicle for the movie he wanted to make, and it is exploitative, but I did not hear a peep out of you when he did the same thing to the Holocaust in Basterds. In fact, I didn;t hear a peep out of anyone. The fact is that most people don't care and they accept it for what it is: a brilliant film and one of the best of the year. Anything lower than a Full price is inexcusable.

  I will say this, though--Jamie Foxx is a talented, talented actor, and likely the only one who could possibly have portrayed Ray Charles soon enough after his death to immemorialize the man the way he did, beyond compare. I hope to see Foxx in more movies in the future, and I certainly think he's a much greater actor (with even morepotential) than Will Smith (whose movies have played off his impeccable, incomparable, style).

  I think Foxx could do any genre he wanted--Sci-Fi, Adventure, definitely Comedy, even more Historic Bio's like 'Ray'; and I hope to see at least 3 more good movies starring him over the next decade--maybe that's what this is about, BTW.

  Think: 'how many actors' careers have capsized after starring in Tarantino flicks--not many, by my count'.

  Foxx is definitely smart enough to make at least one film himself, featuring himself, in the next 2 or 3 years, that will be a true blockbuster, maybe even make more history. He and Smith have made some of my favorite movies covering several genres already...

  HOWEVER, I enjoy comedies so disproportionately that I'd like to see them make more of them.  Comedies are our way to spoil ourselves, and I think they're great to get through rough economic times, such as I've personally seen in my life.

  and 'no', I likely will be 'one white guy' who'd be the one peeling the armrests off his seat during this movie, so I'll be watching it at home, 'someday', maybe even a 'Redbox' rental, looooooong after the supposed 'heat' dies down.

  Then I'll likely cringe at home, wishing I could take up heavy drinking again--and 'no', I won't be inviting any of my buds--at all--over to watch it, just like I failed to with 'KB', every other QT flick, even Pulp Fiction.  I'm the idiot who 'made' my GF watch 'Inglourious Basterds' with me (she was already 'over'), as part of a 'deal' where 'I watch one of your silly chick-flicks...'.

  and I meant to say 'buffs'--in my comment--no idea why that came out 'buss', anyway.

• January 12, 2013 at 12:41 AM, said ...

  I kept thinking, OMYGOD LEON--just kill 'em while they're fresh!

  Tarantino is the 'token lunatic'/genius among directors anyway--I still hate Kill Bill, but now I understand 'why'.  He makes movies for film fanatics--not for 'consumers' like myself.  I admit it--I'll go nuts for every Marvel Comic hero movie that comes out, but I stray away from Tarantino flicks like a 40-year-old virgin who knows his buds are planning on taking him to a Red Light district--in Amsterdam, no less!

  It took me THREE viewings of 'Basterds' to 'get' that film, and then I 'got it'--he's an exploitation artist.  He's currently the 'best' at it--and there's definitely a place for him (outside of Hell, too!), because he's still making films that exploit some genre to a ridiculous, violent, degree, and if we weren't watching them, we'd be talking about the genre as if it were lost (probably with him as a film history teacher 'somewhere').

  It's his 2nd pairing with Waltz, who 'made' the movie 'Basterds' as real as it was--certainly, every other player, fun as they were, were merely supporting him--especially Pitt. Skeery-evil, on par with the most evil German film villains ever.

  If I were black, one thing's for sure, though--I would put one thing on my IMMEDIATE bucket list--before this film's first week was over, I'd be dragging every single white buddy out to make 'em watch this movie, and I'd be picking them out based on how backwards they acted at some 'interesting' jokes I'd be telling them, just to watch 'em cringe.  It'd be worth every cent, and I'm pretty sure I'd be out shoveling snow (or whatever) to save the magnanimous full-price movie ticket dollar amount, just to watch it happen.  I might even be set to stream my 'buddy's reaction live to Youtube, too.  Because after that 1st viewing, I'd have every 'hot-spot' memorized to make sure I got 'dude's genuine reaction uploaded faithfully, for prosperity, and maybe even get him to drive ('cause I'd make sure I was drunk, to enhance the pleasure').

  Then I'd have to go home and realize Tarantino gets away with all sorts of crazy, idiotic, stupid shit every movie he makes, and that he probably needs to hire more security than Salman Rushdie, Obama, and Britney Spears put together--BECAUSE, if every director made movies like Tarantino does, we'd have a lot more public killings in movie theaters and parking lots--his shit is over-the-top, ridiculously, vile, contemptible, and way too provocative to even be called 'provocative'--it's like 'QT' would really enjoy watching the news if every one of his films inspired mass murders here.

  It's pure Love/Hate for me, with Tarantino, and if I weren't so sure that 'true film buss' populate Spill.com's comment pages, I sure as hell wouldn't ever say a word, because commenting on his films is always to 'play with fire'.

  In fact, you could easily make the argument that Tarantino is the serial arsonist of making films that 'inspire' (or more like 'cause') social-commentary--and rarely as positive a running commentary than, say, Spike Lee. (hell, even Ang Lee!)

  The language was unnecessary. Historical accuracy isn't an excuse since the movie took liberties in other areas, and as a device to portray the antagonists, it failed to develop them further. The excess was compounded by extended dialog that wasn't suspenseful, poor editing and a choppy pace. I don't know how offensive the result was, but it was probably in poor taste (which is usually a Tarantino strength).
