It's hard to translate the magnitude of people spending their entire lives forced into hard labor, under constant threat of abuse and murder, into a mere couple hours. Ya gotta dramatize these things a bit for people to get it. And I'm fairly certain that, whether it's in the history books or not, people enabled to…

I cared! I thought, while it failed to live up to the intellectual rigor of the book (what a shock), it did a great job of translating and emphasizing the visceral impact, of letting us feel what the characters felt. And isn't that kind of what movies, as compared to books, are good at? The premise was too out-there…

Seeing as how he's talking about a movie that centers on black slavery, and he's gotten lots of flack for overusing racial slurs, this isn't exactly coming out of nowhere.

Bring in David Attenborough, make it a mockumentary.

How do you like them apatosaurs?

Dah-nuh-sars!

Even the artists who designed the alien-human hybrid don't like the alien-human hybrid.

It only seems to have gotten worse because it's gotten more overrated.

How does He-Man and the Masters of the Universe not take the top spot by default?

"'I’m not your slave and you’re not my master,' Tarantino, who really has slavery on the brain these days, said. 'You can't make me dance to your tune. I'm not a monkey.'"

I apologize in advance for this:

"Would it be the two-minute-long sequence where a nearly naked Wayans simulates an enthusiastic orgy by dry-humping a series of stuffed animals? Or the scene where he’s anally violated in his sleep by a horny, bisexual, pot-smoking ghost? It’s unclear, but what’s certain is that Wayans has a unique, self-serving idea…

I was gonna go with "How about in bitch years?"

I didn't even realize how hot she was until she went brunette. I guess I have a type?

Maybe he actually wanted to sleep over?

"I don't think Schultz's feelings of responsibility change if Django is a white slave."
No? Practically speaking, a freed white slave could subsequently assume any position in society, with no one knowing his past (except for Javert). A freed black slave would still be a black man living in the Antebellum South. I…

I posit that White Guilt is a factor in Shultz' motivation because:

I dunno, that movie was pretty visually anonymous. I mean hey, I enjoyed it, it looked solid and it was really well-written considering the gargantuan task of balancing all those characters, but except for a couple grace notes (that one shot that swoops over all the heroes fighting was great, like the film version of…

Sic semper Tyrannosaurus!

I thought Les Mis was visually alive and inventive — just in really bizarre, TV-ish ways. Life of Pi was refined but conventional spectacle (which is why I enjoyed it a lot more).
