Saw Django Unchained this weekend. I like Tarrantino movies, and this was no exception. He "cartoon'd" up some of the violence, which was a welcome addition, but some of the violence was unsettling (which became a plot point). There was certainly copious use of the N-word, which is bizarre considering what just happened to Paula Deen because she admitted under oath that she had used the word in her restaurant kitchen 30 years ago.

I'd say that easily half of those N-words are spoken by Jamie Foxx, Samuel L. Jackson, and other black actors.

It looked like folks were throwing red paint cans around, everytime someone got shot.

saw despicable me 2 yesterday. Cute movie with funny parts, but the first one was better. I see why it was PG, there was a scene towards the end that scared minisnick.

Yeah...it looked fake enough to not be realistic. Which is kind of a departure from Tarrantino's more realistic violence in, say, Reservoir Dogs. But I guess some of the violence in Kill Bill was pretty fake looking too.

A lot of the gunshot wounds in Django looked like somebody dropping a sizable rock into a pool of blood. It may be accurate for an exit wound, but whenever I've seen bullets hit ballistics gel or animal meat, there has been a very small entry wound with no backsplash.

saw monsters university and man of steel at the drive in this weekend
monsters was cute but the first was better.
Man of steel...I think you have to be a huge super man fan to enjoy. it was ok...just another telling of how he came to be the man he is.
