• I wonder if anyone in this Tarantino film uses the “N”-word.

  • I am wondering that myself. Will Tarantino go for historical accuracy? The shock effect? Skirt round the word? Substitute another? Bleep it out? Yet another reason to see this film!

• Could be great, but I don’t see this one doing well at the box office.

• After desperately trying to establish himself as a serious actor over the past 10 years with a series of “dark” yet ultimately pointless roles, DiCaprio actually cracks a smile on screen for what seems to be the first time since “Catch Me If You Can.” It’s about time.

• I will be shocked if this doesn’t pull in big International numbers. I’ll bet on this pony.

• No wonder Kevin Costner walked away from this. Looks like The Wild, Wild West movie. It’s sure not Open Range.

• The Taranteenyboppers are out in full force. It’s the same smirky, winking, anachronistic dialogue, rip off of references to other movies puerile, overrated nonsense that Tarantino always makes. I know critics like Tarantino because he makes the sort of movies a critic would make i.e. movies about other movies, but is this really what we want the future of movies to be, pastiches of better movies. And don’t tell me he makes them better; he doesn’t.

  • Well said.
    Try making a decent movie that is solely from your own imagination, Tarantino. Until then you’re nothing more than the worst kind of thief, plumbing the depths of other people’s triumphs, pretending they’re your own.
    PS: While you’re at it, stop w/ the wet dream, wishful thinking murder fest pastiches of oppressed peoples. Why not let Jews & African Americans tell their own stories?

  • A “Southern”…Who else was thinking about this? Nobody. QT, is taking viewers to a fantastic place with amazing characters. He gets a mad respect for his take on historical fiction…Oh, and I bet pennies to popcorn, you’ll see it.

    • Sidney Poitier’s Buck and the Preacher (1972), Larry Spangler’s (Fred Williamson) Legend of N-ggr Charley (1972), Soul of N-ggr Charley (1973), Mel Brook’s Blazing Saddles (1974), Jack Arnold (Fred Williamson) with Boss N-ggr (1975), Mario Van Peebles’ Posse (1993), Mario Van Peebles’ Los Locos (1997), John Singleton’s Rosewood (1997), and maybe more movies that I’ve missed all incorporated slavery into a Western motif. Wasn’t marketed with cutsey hipster “Southern” label, but the genre has been done. Would love to see a real Western about John Brown, Bass Reeves, Nat Love “Deadwood Dick” or Shotgun Mary.

      • I knew I missed a few Slave/Westerns: Bogart’s Skin Game (1971) with Louis Gossett Jr and James Garner; Chaffey’s Charley One-Eye (1973) with Richard Roundtree; Gordon Parks’ Thomasine & Bushrod (1974) with Max Julien and Vonette McGee. Like has already been said, the slave/western is not new except to those who were born yesterday. It’s disappointing (actually disgusting) to see an egotistical narcissist attempt to take credit for work that has come before.

• Whoa! I guess the Weinstein boyz didn’t hire Matthew Cohen to handle this debacle. Wow what an awful trailer. Script was pretty good, so I’m surprised they decided to go so “light” on the marketing campaign. Perhaps the RedBand trailer will be a tad more promising. They really need this to be a hit or it’s back to the doghouse. Money’s running out in Harveyville.

• Very disappointed…this trailer looks awful and what a waste of a good cast!
