I'm surprised the final shot of Goggins and Jackson laughing at a hanging white woman hasn't gotten more use as a GIF, it's great.

Go watch django again right now and during the climactic fight scene when loving DMX of all things starts playing tell me again how great of a film it is.

It was Tupac.

Tarantino is one of those directors where his films have been poo poo for years but they all make a billion dollars anyway and the general public all decide that their films are 10/10s before they've even come out so theres no incentive to improve. See also, Christopher Nolan.

What do you consider good movies. Examples, please.

No, see that's not how it works.

They can think the movie sucks and not have to prove to you by whatever arbitrary bar you have that 'actually they do meet your standards'.

The movie just sucks in their opinion and you don't get to be validated that way.

Lol don’t get mad just because I’m the telling facts

If you don't want to discuss movies in a thread for discussing movies you could save us all a lot of time and just not post.

I'd just want to understand the state of mind of someone who thinks they all suck

Look, admitting your subjective judgments and tastes outside of the blandest dismissals of a thing being overrated or underrated is dangerously close to introspection and for a certain type of person that's a fate worse than death.

If nothing else, it's nice to see people finally moving beyond making the same banal observations about how Tarantino movies were all wise-cracking hitmen and gratuitous violence when he hadn't made a movie like that in 15 years.Though it's wild that in the course of my lifetime I've seen the same people arguing that Tarantino is both too gratuitous and too boring at different times.

a corollary to this is this scene in Kill Bill Vol 2 (timestamped):

and this scene in Once Upon a Time in Hollywood:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=39GTH8UlXK8

both women were blinded and flailed about screaming, its possible that QT has seen this in real life which is very unsettling

It's insanely disappointing that the people who grew up laughing at Christians trying to read satanic messaging in He-Man and Pokemon are doing even dumber reaches as adults.

It's weird that a grown-rear end woman consenting to drive a car on a stretch of road after Tarantino himself drove the same car down that same road to make sure it was safe is somehow twisted into an infantilized woman pleading for her life as a cackling sadist of a director straps her in and drops a brick on the gas pedal. It sucks that she had an accident but everyone latching onto it in a desperate attempt at cancelling a director they dislike is pathetic, especially when there's so many actual predators they could be focusing that energy on.

some toasty hot takes in this here thread; here's another one:

django unchained is banal revenge porn

In the goon vernacular describing a film as "porn" is just shorthand for "this movie succeeded in making me feel uncomfortable so I'm projecting my negative feelings onto the movie rather than dealing with why it made me uncomfortable"
