Django Unchained set in pre-Civil War Texas and pits a former slave against his tormentors when he becomes a bounty hunter
Early reviews of the film claim the n-word is used frequently by black and white characters, but the level of violence is even more disturbing
Not the first time that Tarantino has gotten in trouble for use of racial slur In his 1997 film Jackie Brown, the n-word was used 38 times

What’s that got to do with Spike Jones?
Are movie theaters now accepting EBT cards? Hope so, ‘cause
that is the demographic they are playing to.
Wow, a Tartantino film with excessive violence - color me shocked.........NOT
I’ve several of his films and cannot figure what is the appeal. I think they all suck.
I remember and liked his TV show BTW.
Just remember that tow of Obama’s political mentors were big fans Charlie Manson - Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. “Dig it!”
This must be a modern version of the “Q. T. Tan.”

Personally, I think Tarantino is an evil genius.
He is one of my favorite directors, and Inglorious Basterds is one of my favorite movies.
However, I think I am going to pass on this one. I cannot stomach Jamie Foxx.
I guess the historical impossibility of a black bounty hunter in Texas going after white men doesn’t matter to anyone.
A black man with a gun would have brought every white Texan for miles to the lynching party.
I just watched the trailer. It looks like a stupid movie and a waste of time. Besides, Fox is an Obama boy.
Quentin Tarantino: The king of gratuitous violence.
I suppose Hollywood will rush right out to get the Turner Diaries on the big screen next, if they like controversy so much.
My impression is that this movie was intended primarily to stir up more racial animosity and most likely will.
So its a rap musical?
Tarantino = too much inbreeding.
The most violent movie (by far) that I've seen lately is "Death Sentence" starring (believe it or not) Kevin Bacon. I can only say that in that movie he was "more Bronson than Bronson"!
Nothing could be more wrong.
Black CowboysIt is an unfamiliar part of the history of the old wild west to most, but there were actually about 10,000 to 15,000 black cowboys in the late 1860's and onwards. These men actually held quite a significant place in this part of history, after the Civil War, many of the freed slaves moved west to make a new life.
They worked on ranches and in cattle drives, and also rode in the many rodeos. Some of them joined the cavalry where they were known as Buffalo Soldiers and they brought back much needed meat and hides to resupply many of the stores.

It's pretty funny that you think it's some new thing for westerns to be wildly beyond historical reality too.
Two words: Sticks. Stones.
Yeah but we’re talking pre-Civil war Texas.
Three words: John Wesley Hardin. The first man he killed, at age 15, was a black man who beat him wrestling in Polk county, after the war. Despite killing anywhere from 20-40 men, after getting out of prison he tried to practice law, though not very well. OK.
The closest thing I can imagine to the plot of this movie is Tarantino himself driving around Houston, dressed in drag, behind the wheel of a pink Land Rover with ‘Save The Whales’, ‘Rainbow Power’ and similar bumper stickers, and blasting pickup trucks from behind with a semi-horn from JC Whitney.
Another Quenton cartoon with almost lifelike characters.
