Django Unchained

I did not.

Now you do.

I did not.

Maybe Granddad/Grandson.

You know the female slave character is the great/howevermanytimes grandmother of Shaft?

Same Character?

Civil War: 1865
WW2: 1940s.

Maybe Granddad/Grandson.

Cant wait to see this movie.

I've been wondering if the bounty hunter is the same character as the Jew Hunter in Inglorious bastards. Time lines sort of line up. Similar type of dude, and it's common for QT to subtly connect movies.

Spike Lee is a bitch, and I'm glad they both called him out.

I LOL every time I read this history, and am especially fond of Sam Jackson's take on it at the end.


Spike Lee questioned Tarantino's use of racial epithets in his films, particularly the racially offensive epithet "nigger". In a Variety interview discussing Jackie Brown, Lee said: "I'm not against the word... and I use it, but Quentin is infatuated with the word. What does he want? To be made an honorary black man?"

Tarantino responded on Charlie Rose by stating:
"As a writer, I demand the right to write any character in the world that I want to write. I demand the right to be them, I demand the right to think them and I demand the right to tell the truth as I see they are, all right? And to say that I can't do that because I'm white, but the Hughes brothers can do that because they're black, that is racist. That is the heart of racism, all right. And I do not accept that ... That is how a segment of the black community that lives in Compton, lives in Inglewood, where Jackie Brown takes place, that lives in Carson, that is how they talk. I'm telling the truth. It would not be questioned if I was black, and I resent the question because I'm white. I have the right to tell the truth. I do not have the right to lie."

In addition, Tarantino retaliated on The Howard Stern Show by stating Lee would have to "stand on a chair to kiss my ass."

Samuel L. Jackson, who has appeared in both directors' films, defended Tarantino's use of the word. At the Berlin Film Festival, where Jackie Brown was being screened, Jackson responded to Lee's criticism by saying:

"I don't think the word is offensive in the context of this film ... Black artists think they are the only ones allowed to use the word. Well, that's bull. Jackie Brown is a wonderful homage to black exploitation films. This is a good film, and Spike hasn't made one of those in a few years."

In what world is Spike Lee relevant? I can't say I've ever seen a movie of his that was worth a fuck.

I liked 25th hour, but any other director would have done a WHOLE LOT better job than he did

fuck spike lee. Hes worse than kevin smith

[Shorty]

Spike Lee? That crazy homeless man they let into the Knicks games?

LOL @ Spike Lee's dumb ass again. I remember Tarantino telling an interviewer that Lee "Would have to find a step stool to kiss my ass" when he was all up in arms about Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown.



Spike Lee says he REFUSES to see Quentin Tarantino's new flick, "Django Unchained" when it opens tomorrow ... claiming the slavery-revenge movie is "disrespectful to my ancestors."

Lee first went off on "Django" during an interview with Vibe Magazine ... when he was asked for his thoughts on the subject matter and gave the following response:

"I can't speak on it 'cause I'm not gonna see it ... All I'm going to say is that it's disrespectful to my ancestors. That's just me ... I'm not speaking on behalf of anybody else."

He later tweeted about the movie -- "American Slavery Was Not A Sergio Leone Spaghetti Western.It Was A Holocaust.My Ancestors Are Slaves.Stolen From Africa.I Will Honor Them."

"Django" -- which stars Jamie Foxx as a slave who kills slave-owners in the Deep South -- has been drenched in controversy for weeks ... with some critics upset that the n-word is uttered more than 110 times during the movie.

Back in 1997,Lee told the media he had problem with Tarantino's "excessive use of the n-word" in the movie "Jackie Brown." Lee explained, "Let the record state that I never said that he cannot use that word -- I’ve used that word in many of my films -- but I think something is wrong with him."

KS and QT are friends. Chasing Amy was Tarantinos favorite movie of 1997.
