QT's Django Unchained

[GA Russell]

Some of the old Django movies are being spruced up with good masters, if that's the word, and last week I picked up four:

A Man Called Django

Django and Sartana's Showdown in the West

Django Kills Silently

Django's Cut Price Corpses

A year ago I gave a friend a box of Spaghetti Western DVDs, and it included what some fans feel is the best Django movie, Django Kill. But not everyone believe that it is the best.

I'd like to see the original with Franco Nero, but right now it is priced high because of the popularity of Django Unchained. I'll wait till the price comes down a few bucks.

Finally saw it

Pretty solid especially the first 90 minutes

I'd give it 4 out of 5 stars

Soulstation, you've got two-dollar second-run movie theaters in your area? That's pretty awesome.

We have 3 second run theaters in Tucson

plus 2 others that are always showing old classics

Inglorious Basterds was worth watching for Cristoph Waltz's performance alone.

I agree. Overall, I liked Django more than Inglorious Basterds. One thing irks me, though - Waltz is clearly the central character for most of Django, yet he was nominated for Best Supporting Actor in the Academy Awards. I guess it was felt that he couldn't have beaten Daniel Day Lewis. I know, the Oscars are all hype, anyway.

Out on video

Remember back in the day it would take a year for a movie to have a home video release?

Django was released on Dec 25th

I find it weird how with quite a few movies you can pre-order the DVD while it's still in the theater. I guess they're more willing to have the media ready to sell sooner as with many there's an additional waiting period for rental or streaming, so all the better to make more money.

I still get a kick out of how hard it is to predict if a friend will like this movie or not.

[Chuck Nessa]

Actually half way thru the dvd at the moment. We stopped to pop some corn - it's a long sucker. I am still involved at this point but it did drag a while back.

Kinda surprised my sister liked Django

Our father looks like Django/Foxx with that scruffy ass beard

Django is still in the 2nd run theaters in town

[T.D.]

I'll be receiving it from Netflix tomorrow...

[Soulstation1]

IMO

Movie should be seen on BIG screen

[T.D.]

True enough (I actually saw Inglourious Basterds in a theater on its opening weekend), but I live in a very rural area, and cinema expeditions require big planning and a measure of luck...

[Added] Watched it...Photography and (technical) direction QT's best to date IMO, acting generally very good...However, the violence became excessive to me, and some of the pop music on the soundtrack was not to my taste (par for the course with Tarantino). Enjoyed it for the most part, but didn't want to watch a second time. (I like to replay Netflix discs with director's commentary when available, but this release is too new for that feature.)

Going to see Django one more time on the BIG screen Thursday

[Chuck Nessa]

It's a big cartoon dealing with serious issues. No negative comments from me.

[Soulstation1]

Django Unchained is QTs biggest box office release with over $400mil

[T.D.]

Even my local public library got a copy! (They have IB, too.)

Getting my mind right for Django tonight @ 9pm!!!

My friend is bringing some Jack Daniels

$1.50 admission!!!!

Anyone think that the paperwork Waltz carries could be fake and never challenged because the people can't read?
