Get StartedI read that Spike Lee got all bent out of shape over it.

I liked Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown. I couldn't take much of Kill Bill. :ugh:
I think my Tarantino days are pretty much over.
I enjoyed Inglorious Basterds.
actually, Jackie Brown was okay. I didn't like it that much. it's probably one of the more "measured" Tarantino flicks.
I find myself wishing Samuel Jackson would just shut up in that one and in Pulp Fiction. guy gets on my nerves
Whenever I see Jackie Brown I get me a hankering to go down to Pico boulevard and eat some Roscoe's chicken and waffles.
That's some good eatin.'
True Romance is my favorite Tarantino film.
those two things go together? did we discuss that before?
I'd have to think Spike Lee isn't a very big fan of Dennis Hopper's closing speech in that one.
I'm not 100% sure that Tarantino and Spike Lee don't actually have some kind of acquaintanceship.
My understanding is they both go way back with some of those Sopranos guys.
True Romance is my favorite Tarantino film.
his criticism was that Tarantino is using slavery here for shock value. which, I guess maybe. I wouldn't go so far as to say no white man can make a movie dealing with slavery, and while I don't think Tarantino is racist or completely disrespectful to african american culture, he does come pretty close to the line. I don't know how to explain it exactly, but it's like when he (or his characters) drop(s) n-bombs, he's doing it more for shock value than anything else.
anyways, I read a synopsis of the plot of this one. regardless of the racial issues, seems a bit too gratuitously violent for me. I liked Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, and Jackie Brown. I couldn't take much of Kill Bill. :ugh:
I think my Tarantino days are pretty much over. He hasn't done anything that wowed me since Pulp Fiction anyways, and that was almost 20 years ago now. Jesus... has it been that long?
My understanding is it was not the slavery, but how the slaves in the film were viciously beaten and tortured.
But how is it any different from any other graphic violence in a film, I think Spike Lee was just looking for a controversial angle to get his name mentioned more again, because he's been pretty far off the radar a while.
