Saw the preview tonigt, and I can't wait for this one.

I heard about the movie a few days ago, and found it interesting that Jamie Foxx had to coach Leonardo on being ok with saying THAT word.

Marceline, I thought of you when I saw Kerry Washington is in the movie. Will you go see it?

I plan to see it. In fact, I can't wait!

From the minute that I heard the words 'Quentin Tarantino' attached to this, I knew that this would be the 2012 version of this fuckery:

Considering that this is the same industry that pushed that Dixiecrat fantasy known as The Help as an accolade-worthy, I'm not surprised that this got the green light.

I'd say that I'm disappointed that Jamie Foxx, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson took part in this fuckery, but they've proven long ago that they wouldn't hesitate to participate in some coonery for the right amount of zeroes in their bank account.

The reviews have been pretty good for Django. I am not going on Christmas, but I will first thing in the new year. I cannot wait. I like most of Tarantino's movies. I enjoy his tales of revenge and violence. Here is the NY TImes review: http://movies.nytimes.com/2012/12/25/movies/quentin-tarantinos-django-unchained-stars-jamie-foxx.html?hpw

Ok, if you see this movie and don't absolutely love it, that's only because you don't want to!

Entertaining from beginning to end and had me in tears a few times. Leonardo was exceptional (best supporting for sure)! It took me a minute to recognize Samuel L. Kerry was great and Jamie Foxx made me like and respect him as an actor again. Haven't dug him since Ray. Christopher Waltz I'm not familiar with, but he was super impressive!

Gonna see it again this weekend.

Can't wait to read some of your thoughts.

Next: Broken City and Gangster Squad!

Ann, if you really are fond of revenge and violence, this is certainly the movie for you - ESPECIALLY the end!

Just to clarify, when I say "had me in tears", I mean laughing hysterically.

OMG, you are killing me, Chit! I am supposed to wait until my friend is back to go see with her. Now I don't know if I can wait. Okay, I just spoke to her and I am committed to waiting for her to see it.

I have heard that Leonardo is likely to get an Oscar out of his performance. Truthfully, I don't like Jamie Foxx or Kerry Washington as actors. Jamie is uninteresting and predictable. Kerry is bland and repetitious. Maybe this movie will change my mind about them.

Never been a fan of Kerry, but she did a great job in quite a few scenes. I was impressed. Leonardo was a supporting character, so the Oscar is his. There's no way he would win Best Actor because anytime DDL is in the running, everyone else can go home. I have not even seen Lincoln, but DDL never loses. There's nothing he can't do. But Leo earned his keep!

The Best Lead Actor Oscar is definitely Daniel Day Lewis'. After I saw Lincoln, I was "just mail it to him." He gave an outstanding performance. I think that Leonardo is a solid actor, nothing special, but if his performance is as good as you and others say then that Best Supporting Oscar is his.

Jamie has posted naked pictures of himself on the Internet so I know he is hung.

    • I hope they give him more to do than just be a prick as you say. I can see how viewers would like him because the actor is so charming despite the character being such an absolute pain.    I would agree. And there was also the undercurrent of Raven and Draper sort of flirting with each other. The actors play that attraction and it worked so well in that scene. 
    • Daniel Cosgrove is PERFECT as the sleezy politician. This might be my favorite role of his. All of these people keeping Kristina’s secret is so annoying. I really want her to pay.
    • What did happen to Beth between 86 and 89? Did she have amnesia?
    • I actually thought he came off as younger. It's so hard to buy Martin as Nicole and Ted's son unless they had him when they were 12.
    • @chrisml Isn't remarkable that, on a soap whose brand is built on twists and mysteries, that Raven's last straw was as simple as Logan saying that she was incapable of loving Jamey.  In the episode when Raven exit's and leaves Jamey with April, I can remember feeling the subtext that Raven is also trying to talk herself into leaving him behind.  There's so much in that little scene.  She's trying to stick it to Logan for saying she was a bad mother.  She's both granting April's wish, and damning her with the old adage of being careful what she wished for.  And, she's hinting to Draper that she's going to boff his father. It remains my favorite scene, and it still blows my mind that was not the end of that episode.  
    • Oh lord not Drew just figured out it was both Nina and Portia that set him up. Willow WILL never leave this man. Ric taking the case purely just to spite Sonny is [!@#$%^&*].ing hilarious.
    • And in addition to Patti being de-aged, she was no longer a nurse, divorced from Len(fair enough) and her two children were not seen and barely mentioned. So basically she was a totally new character. For newer viewers it didn't matter but any loyal viewers would have been wondering about all the changes with Patti. Sarah Whiting always puzzled me. The writers finally decide to acknowledge Jo's family and do so by making up a never mentioned adopted teen. Why not just bring in Tracey, Jo's actual grandaughter? As for Liza, perhaps it would have been wise to rest the character when Sherry left. They were big shoes to fill and her Liza was so identified with Travis. I don't recall what was going on in the story at that time but if they knew Sherry was leaving, write it so Liza would leave town to care for an ailing Janet and take a breather with the character for a few months.
    • Ahh interesting. Yeah, that's sad for A-M. I will say, he and Nick became fast friends when Susan started working at Spaulding. A-M/Lucy/Nick/Susan had a lot of double dates in those 7 months. A-M was Nick's best man at his wedding to Susan, which now that I think about it, is odd that he wouldn't have considered Fletcher. I remember those two were so close at the paper, and even living together with Ben. Once Tangie left SF, Nick left the paper, and Fletcher/Holly were rarely seen... so I guess they felt that friendship wasn't shown often enough anymore (which again, lazy writing).
    • I honestly don't think Alan-Michael ever really had a friend on the show. Maybe Cameron or Samantha, but otherwise... *Cameron was a high school friend who ended up dating teenage Dinah after she broke up with A-M. Samantha is Phillip's biological sister, who A-M treated like a sister. Interestingly enough, they were born the same week on the show in 1981, but A-M ends up being older than her when she returns to town in '89.
    • I thought he was very cute too, and a likeable presence even though on paper Cliff was a prick. I wonder if he was well-liked by viewers or someone at the show as there's a point in these episodes where he could have been written out and was not.
