I wonder if he will make a movie with Native Americans killing white people next.

Why is he "salty" though? There's nothing funny about slavery and that's what he was pointing out. Its not a Spaghetti Western. Its something that should be tackled in a serious manner. Its being erased from our history books. Literally. His beef w/ Tarantino dates back to Jackie Brown and his gratuitous use of the N word which he has an obsession with. Glory tackled slavery right. He's had movies about Jackie Robinson and James Brown killed by studios because they wouldn't give him funding. They have a Jackie biopic coming out now and its not Spike behind it. It took George Lucas two decades to get Red Tails done and he's George Lucas. They had to dumb down the movie as well as its marketing to get across to the movie going public. Tarantino could get away with doing a movie like this because of who he is. His catalog doesn't compare to Spike Lee's. He has a legitimate beef not only with the movie, but Tarantino and Hollywood in general.Spike Lee stays salty.

Amazing film...white people were definitely uncomfortable, but everybody seemed to love it...Tarantino's 8/8 in my opinion...
that being said, i wish he wouls scale back on the epics and do another simple crime flick, but i doubt that'll happen...i missed the lengthy dialogues, pop culture and film nerd references in this one, but i guess most of that **** didn't exist back then
any yeah, Samuel L Jackson played the **** out of that role...honestly, everybody did a amazing job...but i guess you can't allow yourself to slack on a Tarantino film...

This is a very good movie. Could've cut 30 minutes though, as it ran a bit long, but it still was very entertaining. Sam Jackson had me cracking up the whole time. Not as good as Basterds, but still good.

I thought the movie did a very good job showing the gritty, crime against humanity that slavery was. Many people in the theatre couldn't watch certain scenes (I don't wanna spoil but if you saw it you know what I'm talking about.
The movie definitely had humor but that's not all it was. It was an action flick, love story, buddy comedy and historical drama rolled into one. If you want to catch a movie solely to see the hardships of slavery, go see roots. People are acting like Tarantino is doing slavery a disservice cause the movie was entertaining. At the end of the day its a movie about a strong black male character, people will always find something to be salty about. Spike is one of my fave directors but he stays salty.BDW Tarantino>>>>>Spike Lee but that's just my opinion. This movie was everything I love about Tarantino flicks. Intricately crafted dialogue and gratuitous violence.

Yep I wanna see him do something similar Reservoir Dogs.
And yea everyone in the movie was acting their butt off. Why do I feel like this was the role Leonardo was born to play, for some reason I've always pictured him as a southern plantation owner was he does a southern accent too well.

Kill Bill
Reservoir Dogs
Pulp Fiction
Jackie Brown
Basterds
are all VERY different, I don't know what you're talking about. The only thing Tarantino's movies have in common is the violence and the fact that he sticks with the same actors.
Spike Lee and Tarantino are very different. Spike Lee tries to make social commentary with his movies which isn't exactly marketable but he's one of the best at doing so.
If you wanted to say something bad about Tarantino I'd say its his "lack of originality". He is a student of film and he borrows a lot of elements of old cinema and puts his own spin on it eg blaxploitation, samurai flicks, westerns.

Movie was great, def worth checking out
I think he was coming from the view that Tarantino's last 4 movies( KB1+2, IB, Django) have essentially been revenge flicks( not counting the grindhouse 1). Now of course theres more to them, but they are kind of in the same lane.
