I feel like the trailers spoiled that scene for me. I thought it was funny but it would have been way funnier if I didn't know what to expect.

The KKK comment is dumb. The movie never calls them clansmen. They just are wearing masks. Sure, the similarity is there, probably for a reason, but Tarantino does enough research to know this.

I thought the entire film was pretty great. And Christopher Waltz is particularly brilliant in it. Check out some of his early work. The man has paid his dues..

Until I couldn't anymore. I'm going to make a statement here from the gut, and it goes like this...

White sub-urban college kids are waaaaaaay to into looking like decent people by complaing that Django is racist, secretly racist, commercially racist, or that Trintino is racist when the moive is not that much different from any other Tarintino movie, its just not socially popular to get on a soap box about Samuris.

This movie was incredible, and if there were any justice in the world, snotty little attention seekers who wanted to seem overly anti-racist would be set on fire in public. This is the same god damn crowd that never finds joy in a god damn thing because "they never told the part about X." If you came to Django for a history lesson, you're a ****ing idiot who doesn't deserve the freedom of speech the government affords you.

If you thought the guy who made Pulp Fiction was going to make a more historically accurate Roots, I don't know why you thought that. People talking about how unrealistic a movie is don't understand that movies aren't for educational purposes. Its primarily why movies aren't cited in academic papers 90% of the time. Its why they sell popcorn and beer at the movie threaters but not at the book store, its why you take dates to the movies and not to the ****ing library.

Jesus do I hate stupid ****ing people.

I didn't agree with any of the racial components in that Cracked article, I did like the dry humor break-down of the plotholes that I remember thinking at the time.

All the backlash has been from the black community. Some believe slavery does not need to be re-told in the form of a spaghetti western. Fred's link is a new example of it.

I liked the movie, thought it was kick ass, but this doesn't seem to be one of those instances of white people being overly sensitive towards the portrayal of blacks.
