Christopher Waltz was great in Django as well.
I might be the only one, but bar a few of his films I've never been a fan of most of his productions.
Still sad to see an old timer in the industry go.
waltz outshines every other actors performance in every film he plays.

You just say "Christoph".
Shame, hes one of my favorite directors and Kill Bill 1/2 being some of my favorites. I mean the guy has made hit after hit after hit and its not like his movies are conventional so they certainly carry there own weight and not just overhyped Hollywood trash.
I fucking love Django so much but id be lying if I said it wasnt one of his weakest, except a weak Tarantino movie is like a 8/10. Too predictable and conventional imo but still amazing. I would hate to see Tarintino turn into a wash, hes far away from that but the sooner he gets out the better his legacy will be and he has a pretty fucking good legacy to leave behind.
[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;46463540]Inglourious Basterds was better than Pulp Fiction in my opinion. 10/10 film.
Django Unchained was still great, but I think people are going to remember Basterds for a lot longer because of how perfect the writing was.[/QUOTE]
I'd put Pulp Fiction a bit ahead of it, but honestly they're both amazing movies.
I like Django more
IB might be a better film objectively, I mean some scenes were just fantastic (like the opening), but Django is a Tarantino movie you can enjoy mindlessly on the couch with some buddies, more so than IB imo. That alone makes it my favorite.

teachers should show both films in High School history classes as accurate depictions of ww2 and slavery times
If i was him and was getting to the age of retirement, i'd still use my retirement to write some crazy ass movie scripts and pass em on to worthy directors.

He promised himself to never do that, after True Romance and Natural Born Killers were "botched" in his opinion.
I only kinda liked Kill Bill and didn't really care too much for his other movies, but it would still suck to see him leave movie production, he's been around for a while.
Loved both IB and DJ, but Inglorious is still the better movie by far.
Tarantino isn't that old. It'll be a hiatus if anything.

I think you should refine that to "anyone who has [b]enjoyed[/b] Inglourious Basterds."
I know I'm in an exceptional minority, but I couldn't even finish Inglourious Basterds, let alone enjoy it.
There have only ever been two films I haven't been able to fully watch, I disliked them so much: Inglourious Basterds and The Good Shepherd.
I can't for the life of me say [b]why[/b] I disliked IB so much, but all I know is I couldn't stand a single thing about it, sans the fact it had Brad Pitt in it - and even then, I couldn't stand Brad's character.
I'm expecting to be showered in Dumbs, but that's just the way it is. Perhaps I should watch IB again (maybe the same time I watch Children of Men again, which I didn't much care for either). I have no issues with watching them both again and giving them a second chance.
All I remember is not caring for the writing, narrative, pacing, characters, or humor in Inglourious Basterds.
All that being said, I absolutely [b]loved[/b] Django Unchained, though maybe for the wrong reasons: Doctor Schultz's humor combined with his intellect is what made the film for me, and the other elements such as the bumbling villagers with the hoods and Samuel L Jackson's character only being bonuses to me.
Basically I enjoy Django Unchained as a comedy. I don't even consider it an action flick, despite its short bursts of excessive violence, or as a drama, despite its macabre setting and context.
Now that I think on it, I enjoy Django Unchained much in the same way as I enjoy that Se7en / Seven film, with Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman, and Snowpiercer, with Chris Evans and John Hurt: as films with shining moments of comedy in an otherwise extremely dark setting. :v:
[QUOTE=mikeyt493;46462531]The film is just Inglourious Basterds again but in a different setting[/QUOTE]
No it's not? like in anyway.
Watch Tarantino pull a Miyazaki and decide to make another film. And then announce he's retiring. And then make another film. And then announce he's retiring.

They both have Christoph Waltz in them, therefore they're the same movie apparently
[QUOTE=RichyZ;46463288]pretty much
i love both movies but django doesn't have any deeper meaning than "slavery was bad" which doesn't really even need to be said
on the otherhand
inglorious basterds is one of the few movies that portrays americans as the "bad guys" as much as the nazis, though for different reasons[/QUOTE]
Doesn't make it a worse movie. Django had a lovely setting, interesting atmosphere and godly written characters (not that IB didn't have them, although apart from Chris Waltz as the Colnel I don't think the characters in IB are quite Django tier. And that's fucking Chris Waltz he's always fucking Brilliant). I just think it provided more sheer entertainment value.

I think you're slightly missing the point of an internet forum :v:

This might sound extremely dumb but I felt like Django tried way to hard to incorporate Landas character into the bounty hunter but in a forced way. It felt like Tarantino wanted to recreate a similar character with a similar design but it lacked a lot of finesse and just the potential to make it any good, it felt quite cheap to me to be honest. Just to satisfy some fans who wanted more Landa action.
Where's the reservoir dogs love?
I like all of Tarantino's movies, but these days I'm starting like Jackie Brown the most.
Why do movies have to have deep meaning to be good? I just want to watch something that's fun.
