[The Military Workshop]

Surprised nobody mentioned this one already.

If you have seen a Tarantino movie you know there will be lots of violence and bad language so no surprises there.

Great cast with lots of old familiar faces popping up (Franco Nero, Michael Parks, Don Johnson, James Remar, Bruce Dern, Don Stroud, James Russo and even Jonah Hill). Tarantino plays an Aussie with the accent. Samuel Jackson's role different from what you would expect.

Busiest guy on the set will have been the one creating the blood and gore special effects.

Long movie but you need that as Tarantino likes to build up the tension to a scene (ie. escaped slave punishment and dining room scenes with Leonardo Di Caprio).

I enjoyed it. Not many movies where the audience can at one moment be laughing and then another being squeamish as the violence gets nasty.

Will be interesting to see where Tarantino goes next.

I liked the joke of having Franco Nero show up, who played Django in the original Spaghetti Western.

The Wikipedia entry for the movie is quite interesting but does give away some storyline so best to read after watching movie.

I really liked it. I thought it could of used with 20 mins. edited off. The one question I have in the scene with the dogs are sicked on the slave there was a women dressed in buck skin with two knives and a red bandana covering her face. Later when Django comes back and kills everyone there she is seen at the card game ...I'd swear that's Kate Blanchet (SP) but also want to know whats up with that character because it was not random it was intentional.

That masked woman also had me wondering and Wikipedia also covers it.

IMDB has her as "tracker". The character should be "Red Herring."

Yeah got a numb bum watching it, but loved it all the same.....plenty of laughs and even more blood & gore{eek3}

Yes the 'masked lady' is a bit of a mystery.....:wink2:......I'm sure Wayne will work it out who she is...:tongue:

I thought it was a good movie and very well acted.

You might want to read this though as some of the items are not historically acurate. Not that a lot of Tarantino movies have been or usually are.

Thought it was a great movie. It evoked a wide range of emotions .
I wonder if Christof Waltz's comment that he "didn't care for white cake " was a tie in to the Inglorios Basterds scene where he was eatinng the tort .
I loveTarantino's work

I ignored the use of lever action rifles and the words "guys" and "peanut butter."

Looks like the action figures depicting characters from the movie have a few people
upset. Good profit for early buyers.

Finally saw this on cable and really enjoyed it for what it was, a Tarantino roller-coaster ride. I have rarely been disappointed by anything Quentin has done. He just makes unusual and entertaining shows. Thought Waltz was very good, and had fun spotting all the different 'name' actors in the lesser parts. -- Al
