Must See Movies

A little Django tidbit for you... Will Smith was originally offered the role of Django, but he turned it down.

I'm glad. I'm not a big Jamie Foxx guy, but he was excellent in that role. Will Smith is boring to me.

Foxx was one of the guys I didn't care for.

Waltz carried what there was of the movie IMO. Just like IB.

I know tons of people are slobbing DiCaprio's knob about his role in that movie. And, as much as I love his performance, I think Fox did just as well and should be just as recognized for it. His character progression through the movie was amazing and deserving of an Oscar.

1. Waltz
2. Leonardo
3. Samuel L. Jackson
4. James Remar
5. Foxx

5. Foxx

I would definitely put him below Waltz and Leonardo. He was still very good in his particular role.

I dunno...he just didn't come across like he should. Waltz and Leo ran circles around him and you are supposed to get into Foxx's character.

I didn't. Sue me.

Can we agree that he was better than Will Smith would have been? Though to be fair, that's not saying much.

Don't get me wrong, Will Smith isn't terrible, but like I said, he just bores me.

Racist.













Sorry could not resist

I think Will Smith is one dimensional. He is fairly good at that dimension, but he is not outside of it. Same with Samuel L. Jackson. He is a really good angry black man, but an awful member of the Jedi council.

I am not a big Will Smith fan, so yeah.

Maybe that is the issue. Foxx didn't come across as enough of the angry black man...which to be honest...was kinda the point.

Maybe Samuel would have pulled it off for me.

In fact, I can imagine a few scenes with him doing Foxx's part and approving.

I think that's what made Foxx's performance even better is he showed how a negro in that situation would have to hold back from being the angry black man long enough to attain freedom. I thought he did it amazingly.

Feh. Didn't look at it that deep.

Must be racist.

Watch it again, and free your mind, grand dragon.

Watch it again, and free your mind, grand dragon.

Considering I turned it off before the end, I may need to.

It's been out for 20 years but I watched The Fugitive for the first time. Pretty good movie.

As an aside, I always get a kick out of seeing big time actors of today playing bit roles while they're cutting their teeth in the industry. I saw a few recognizable faces in the fugitive.

The dike female coach from Glee was in it and the dad from The Middle, Mike Heck, played a transit cop that got shot on the L train towards the end of the movie.

 

[Kbrown]

I did...I expected it to suck and it was entertaining. It was a trashy campy movie that passed the time.

Too bad that offends Rev's snobby nature.

See, I saw it as a deconstruction of the horror genre that would appeal to snobs like me, while you just had fun. Sign of a good movie with appeal. Rev sucks. Bite me Rev. That is all.

I am not a fan of slasher/horror flicks either. You said better than I.

Except for the last part about Rev.

GFY and take your crappy movies with you.



Just thought it was stupid and not worth the two hours. Oh well, glad you guys liked it. I will just have to go over your movie reviews carefully in the future.

See and I really liked Bastards, so I think you all may be retarded...
