I always use this film as my primary source when arguing that nicolas cage actually is the finest actor of his generation, if not of all time. a genuinely brilliant performance.

Nicolas Cage is great. History will prove him right. Bees or no bees.

7/10

Assault on Precinct 13

The original is a massive fave of mine so I'd pretty much convinced myself that I'd hate this. It's nowhere near as good as John Carpenter's film but it's different enough to be judged on its own merits and I ended up quite liking it. I wasn't sure at first about the decision to replace the gang members with rogue cops but it ends up working quite well. On the whole not great but far better than I expected.

dangerous method is on utube

Wow. If the film's even half as good as the poster I really wanna see it!

pretty great movie for a sunday afternoon. hugely entertaining. i haven't had so much fun w/ a tarantino movie since pulp fiction. dr. schultz was great. the samuel l. jackson piece of shit character was great too-- i almost didn't recognize him. loved tarantino's take on the spaghetti western-- and the soundtrack. only thing if anything it was a little bit too long, but not enough to say "hurry up already, motherfucker!". i *really* liked it. 4.8/5!

I was bored by Django after an hour.

I feel that the two white dudes who wrote it ran out of ideas.

^ I'll play along.

Who was the other writer?

Cannot find the guy's name. pre the movie release tarantino mentioned several times about how Django came about and how he co-wrote it with someone, but I cannot find the name right now. either way, not a good movie.

I'm sure you're right but I've not heard anything about Tarantino collaborating while writing Django. Whoever it was they certainly received no credit. Although I did read somewhere that Will Smith was prepared to star in it as long as there were some rewrites to his character, but Tarantino wouldn't do it.

i loved it. tarantino makes great pastiches. and the doctor's lines i found hilarious.

Hm. I know Richard Avery got fucked for Pulp Fiction (wasn't allowed to go to Cannes--forced his way into the Academy Awards). But I haven't heard this one.

Dr. Schultz is one of my favorite characters in recent movies, which makes me like the movie.

But he gets killed so stupidly and by acting out of character, which makes me hate the movie.

The whole thing made me a little sick and I didn't have much fun. But his new musical comedy about ethnic cleansing in Bosnia should be a hoot.

Haha Will Smith said he didn't want to do it as his character wasn't the lead. What a douche.

he probably insisted his son get a lead role and they told him no
