I thought this episode was one of the funniest ones in a while personally. Everything clicked for me in terms of Jake's over-bearing parenting and the foxes. Diff'rent strokes I guess.

Fuck that. I STILL love Godzilla 1985.

9-year old me fucking hated that Godzilla movie, because he loved the old Japanese films and the American Godzilla had no radioactive breath and fucking actually died! How do you kill Godzilla with missiles! No. No. you need at least a volcano, and even then he isn't really dead.

Nah, fuck waiting, you're a fucking KING man! You gotta go out there and take your rightful role!

False. I pay more for Blackhawks tickets than for any sport not named Football. Hockey is actually pretty expensive everywhere (cept Phoenix). Even in Tampa it's cheaper to go to a Rays game (and in Tampa everything's cheap, because they're all awful sports fans, just the worst)

I already said I understood the point you were making. Movies can marginalize. Yes. There. But what gives Lee's comment no merit is that he has not seen the movie to judge if it marginalizes. He doesn't say "A spaghetti western about slavery? Could be offensive" because if he had, I'd have agreed. He says "Slavery is…

Wait….how does my Dad keep up with what's going on in Jaleel White's life?

Damn. Did he at least play that one song from Robin Hood?

I always thought the greatest bane of our times was Tom Hardy.

That is HIGHLY offensive PolarBears (are there several of you bears posting at once? I know a polar bear, and he would never share a computer with his brethren). How would you like it if someone just said to you "Are you some kind of bear?" Perhaps mister Bridge Troll is very sensitive about his species and would…

If you think the people here are claiming Spike Lee is being "over-sensitive" about slavery you're wrong (speaking of straw men). I haven't seen that claim come out at all. Again, Lee's argument is that the film is automatically and unequivocally offensive because it is by a white man, includes stylized elements, and…

I think Django's return was necessary to fulfill the "Siegfried" archetype. he has to show he's not afraid to walk into hellfire to rescue his woman, because she's worth it.

I agree with Jordo here. If were aren't meant to feel slightly uneasy about the nature of revenge killing, why include the segment where the German Sergeant is talking about how he won't give up other German soldiers to be killed and how he won his medals for bravery? If Tarantino meant for us to cheer uproariously…

I have sen Dajngo, and let me assure you, the scenes involving slavery are never portrayed as being cool. They are brutal and violent and make you wish death on the perpetrators. The liberal use of the n-word is because it was the brutal parlance of the times. To portray it as anything less would be to delude and…

I'm not saying Tarantino isn't open to criticism, I'm saying Lee needs to see the movie before he criticizes it. And no, it probably wouldn't have gotten made if it were a black writer pitching this without Tarantino's cache, but again this isn't Tarantino's fault and it's not something to hold against the movie.…

This argument appalls me as well. It seems like some Americans are so desperate to stand on this moral high ground above the world that they will completely ignore their own history. We need to own it as ours, just like the German government has done with the holocaust. Some politicians even today will say that…

I would like to add that I saw Django today and can state that, in my opinion, the scenes depicting slavery were not trivialized at all. In fact, they were treated with a somber tone and the characters on the "good" side react to them in a morally repulsed manner. My sister, whom I saw the movie with, had no knowledge…

I'm agreeing that the conversation is worthwhile, all I've ever been saying is that knowing Tarantino made a spaghetti western set in slavery times is no reason to automatically assume it will be insensitive and offensive to the black race. I also don't think it was ever Lee's intention to start a dialogue (even…

Yes, white people in this nation have never experienced the type of systematized abuse that black people have, but I don't think Tarantino is trying to co-opt that suffering. I agree that a dialogue absolutely needs to be made concerning the state of black filmmaking and where we as a country stand in relation to our…
