Watched Django unchained last night

[Buckshot Bear]

Watched Django unchained again last night for our Sunday night movie, there's a few tough parts that I fast forward through.

 

Always amazes me the ending with the Aussie's and Tarantino.

One of, if not the worst cowboy movie made, jmho

[Buckshot Bear]

Actually.....it amazes me just how many Aussie actors there are in Hollywood Westerns with leading roles.

Sunday night.....the one night a week I'm unleashed

Horrible movie !

[Pat Riot]

I watched this a few months ago and to be honest, I really do not remember much at all about it. 

[Badlands Bob #61228]

Political correctness meets blood and guts wrapped up in a antebellum theme.  Not one of my favorites.

[Silver Creek Jack]

Made it about half way through and remembered I needed to change the air in my truck tires.

Have you seen (or attempted to watch) “The Harder They Fall”?

 

Ghetto crap!

[ORNERY OAF]

Ya, no....I heard it sucks,..but if I get bored, ya never know

[Buckshot Bear]

I just watch movies for the entertainment and escapism..... I don't get uptight and caught up in the whatevers......its got guns, leather, horses, rifles, shotguns and lots of blood and gore..... It's a Western!

Like Robert Taylor as Walt Longmire. The quintessential American: a Wyoming sheriff.

 

The thing that amazes me is that he, and many other examples, completely lose the Oz accent. Even a hint or echo of it would wreck the effect, but it never happens (unless in the outtakes....) Very impressive.

I can't pick up even the slightest of slightest Aussie accent. I've often wondered if they do a lot of voice coaching.

I looked up some scenes. Now I remember. Another typical Tarantino fantasy bloodfest with magic guns that hit everything they are generally pointed at and protagonists that apparently have magical life powers that repel lead. 
 

Yawn…

Pat, what would be the absolutely perfect Western for you that got every detail 100% correct and error free?

Well, THAT sounds like a lot of the "traditional" Westerns from the 40's, 50's and 60's to me 

 

Tarantino movies: Either you love them or do not care about them at all. If something got his own adjective with entry in the Oxford dictionary (tarantinoesque), it must be special somehow.

[Cholla]

I'm guessing some of you didn't watch it until the end to see that Samuel Jackson was really the biggest villain in the movie. I found many parts of the movie comical, such as the part were Django dresses up like little boy blue and the slave girl questions why he would want to dress that way. Not my favorite movie but not the worst I have seen. You want a stinker, watch Cry Onion. I used to think it was the best movie until my wife bought an overseas copy for me. I must have been media deprived when I watched it the first time to think it was good.

I liked his first couple of movies and the they just became TarantinoCliche` 

I doubt my word will end up in any dictionary, but you never know. All words are "made up".

You have to look at this one as a comedy.   

 

I particularly liked the scene where they're escaping from the soldiers on the train.   They're drilling all the soldiers with their revolvers, and empty brass is falling all around their feet like they're shooting semi-autos.

I watched the TALL MEN Saturday Nite excellent movie.

I know Colt 73s 92 Winchesters. Get past that still a Good Watch.

[Utah Bob #35998]

I found it entertaining. You must suspend disbelief. Not always easy.

Good example of how "ignorance is bliss".   Before I knew when guns were produced, it never bothered me that movies used Peacemakers in Civil War movies (and the like).

 

Until I got my own Henry Rifle for SASS shoots, it never bothered me when they were shooting a Henry with the follower all the way back (magazine empty).   Now I spot it every time!  That, or when they cycle a repeater only to have the close up show the hammer down.

 

Damn you SASS you ruined movies for me!

I'd rather watch reruns of Maude or some other trash.

Django Unchained happened to be on one of the streaming channels like Netflix awhile back, so I gave it a try. Having seen Kill Bill, I had low expectations. Instead, I found it entertaining. The scene with the vigilantes complaining about their hoods is hilarious.
