Django Unchained= Garbage

I don't think Shirley Manson was in it.

I do not like Tarantino films.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

Raz is right. -MadImmortalMan March of 2017

She was in one of the crowd scenes.

Season 3 of Shameless (US) was awesome. Thought S.2 made a bad turn, but this season brought it back up. Nice, moving finale too.

My only concern is that the finale really could stand in as a series finale.

I hope Jimmy/Steve is not dead, though. I liked him.

I was thinking about that in the shower this a.m. for some reason. Is the series coming back...it really did seem like closure for a lot of characters. We'll see.

Yes

First off the gun fight scenes were ridiculous and over done. The whole story line was flat and uninteresting. The humor was well not funny, just over done in a blah way. Period weapons were not correct. I think he missed an opportunity here.

Reservoir Dogs, great flick.

I thought both Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown were excellent. And True Lies, if we consider that a Tarantino film.

Well, for 300 it didn't exactly take a history geek to wonder why these Spartans were going into a battle, which is presumably filled with sharp pointy things, essentially naked to the waist (with their no doubt magnificent abs highlighted for maximum homo-erotic effect)  ;)
