i did think django was a great film .... and a wonderful support cast.. but did anyone else think jamie fox was a bit of a let down when it came to how fantastic the other actors were?.... and how in places his accent goes from southern western to ghetto?...


good to see the return of don johnston too!

finally got to watch Django in its entirety last night, thought it was on the whole very good with as some already said, dialogey bits at Candyland dragged on a bit, with the Django's escape from the mining co workers, who I think were meant to be Australian, (Tarrantino is a god awful actor, stay behind the lens please!!) very far fetched and rushed before the finale at the big house. Laughed at the time he shot DeCaprio's sister from the top of the stairs and she flew straight back through the doorway.

I wasn't sure about Foxes's accent either as it may have been intentional as the music score varied from western to modern gangsta rap as well!!

I liked Samuel L Jackson as the old 'uncle tom' character though.
Similar feelings to yourself. Overall feeling about the film is good but a fair bit I didn't like. Too long - All the material there for a  really good 2 hour film let down by an unnecessary (imo) last 45 mins or so.

Have to pick a few chick flicks for the good lady to watch over the next few nights. It was man shows at the weekend. Any chick flick movies around at the minute that won't have me reaching for the cyanide capsules half way through?

Hit the bullseye there Norf. The good lady thought that was the best film she has watched in a long time, plus it was far from the worst film I've had to sit through.

I wonder what she'll think of Debbie Does Dallas tonight...

I watched Pitch Perfect the other week, wasn't the worst, but allegedly 'glee' esque!! I've never seen glee so don't know.

Watched Senna last night, as corny as it sounds it was a touching show.
