I'm reading the first draft leak and it's pretty good so far. After reading the Django Unchained screenplay I know that a lot can change in between, but I like that he's really goin' for the classic Cinemascope thing. (He mentions it four times on the first page of the script.)

Also, without spoiling too much, who wants to guess how many pages in he drops 'friend of the family'?

This is the stupidest point of contention. It's a western, set in the 1800's. It's how people talked. Yes, it's not a historical drama or anything, but trying to sanitize the past isn't the way to progress.

That's true but let's not pretend he doesn't love dropping that word. Dead friend of the family storage is actually the only part of Pulp Fiction that makes me cringe. Of course it's always terrible whenever he appears in one of his films.

I rank Pulp Fiction as a top ten film of all time, for clarity's sake.

I don't care how many times people in Tarantino films drop the N-bomb, but this is a terrible argument. People in the 1800s did not talk like they were in a Tarantino film.

True but when was the last time Tarintino wrote any dialog that sounded remotely like the way people actually speak?

Vince MechMahon

Never, but that word was super common back then, and it's not like he's even used it in this context (of a western) for people we aren't supposed to immediately identify as loving terrible assholes who deserve to die.

"Dead friend of the family storage" really seems like it was written for a black actor though and changed when he ended up playing that role instead of the drug dealer, and is pretty indefensible.

Where did you get the impression that I want Tarantino to sanitize his art? That would be totally counter-productive.

I'm sure you'll agree that it's in fact possible to both mock and revere an artistic figure for the same thing. I don't see mocking Tarantino's repetitious and self-derivative use of the word 'friend of the family' as any different than mocking the repetitious self-derivativeness of any other artist.

I literally praised the script in the same instance that I mocked one aspect of it.

I'm not accusing you of it, really, but when Django came out the amount of backlash against the fact that he had southern slave owners saying "friend of the family" made him a secret racist and he shouldn't have had them say it was crazy. It's the same complete lack of being able to put thing in context that makes most SJWs unbearable.

I like how we agree that the backlash towards the use of 'friend of the family" in Django Unchained was bad criticism, but I totally disagree about the defensibility of "dead friend of the family storage." If anything, that's the scene in which Tarantino's repressed vulgar desires are the most explicitly equated with a castrated, ineffectual, desperate nobody who clearly uses the word just to make himself seem like a bigger man. Critics like Armond White have commented on this; pre-Kill Bill, Tarantino's use of the word 'friend of the family' virtually always had explicitly negative connotations.

But I don't wanna further derail about Tarantino, so I'll post an awesome Tarantino poster, which I can't fathom why isn't the home video cover:

I think the build up to SLJ executing Chris Tucker might be one of his finest achievements. That scene just hits me so hard every time; only Tarantino could conceive of something as blackly comic and totally horrifying as a man unwittingly selling his soul for some fast food.

I appreciate that he seems to be far more selective about his roles than people give him credit for. I know for a while it's been cool to hate on his character in The Fifth Element, but it's pretty much common knowledge now that he's one of the best features of the movie, right? Right?
