Waltz was fantastic but way too much N word and the dog thing was not needed. Yes he was trying to show the cruelty of slavery (the lost causers have paid bred a vastly different picture) but you can show it without that level of gruesomeness.
Magnificent Bastards was really not very good. And his latest was horrible from what a friend told e - we were long time fans too.

The Hateful Eight was also good.
One needs to put themselves in the right frame of mind to appreciate a Tarentino movie. It's not the normal fare. He avails himself of a lot of cartoonish violence. It's a means to an end.

(16,855 posts)I'm admittedly a HUGE Tarantino fan. I loved Django, mainly because to the epic nature of the movie and a direct smack down of antebellum south, a heritage that QT and I both share. The language and violence, to me, were appropriate for the subject and typical Tarantino. If you didn't like Django, you won't like "The Hateful Eight", which, to me, felt like both a great sequel to "Django" and a masterful western in its own right, now you'll have to dismiss the blood and gore but it is a pretty fantastic story.
All that being said, if you're not a fan of Tarantino's movies, I could see how you'd be turned off. Most of his movies are made for cinephiles who live off the constant homages and throw backs...I could easily see how this could turn people off.
(Fwiw to the "Inglorious Bastards" haters...yeah its over the top, yeah it's beyond belief...but it's a freaking fun romp into what could have been, and I quote the hell out of that movie...yeah, I'm a movie nerd...lol)

(31,798 posts)That made me a Tarantino fan. I still don't like the Uma Thurman flicks though. Eh? I'm not a fan of hers in general.
