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 totally agree with this, as most of you seem to. Mary Carney was at least competent and reasonably likable; I just feel like she barely had anything of substance to do before she was abruptly given the hook. And I get the backstory of Kathleen Tolan having done a play with Helen Gallagher, but...at any point did they ever actually READ her before they greenlit her? Because...OOF. First time I saw her on SoapNet was right when this GODAWFUL actress named Charity Rahmer played Belle on Days of Our Lives for all of three weeks before she was mercifully recast; her line readings were straight out of a Charlie Brown special. I remember thinking Kathleen Tolan could have played her mother! In the Frank/Jill/Delia triangle, Delia WAS the one who was cheated on, so I got why she was upset and thought it was perfectly valid in theory at least, but of course it was blown up to Wagnerian proportions including falls involving staircases and tricycles. But with Pat/Faith/Delia I had no sympathy for her...especially because it was mainly with Catherine Hicks's Faith and I really liked her.
    • I was going through those episodes from 1984 and early 1985 before they were taken down. Some of the older characters, like Don and even Tom, looked a little out of place, like they were on the wrong show. But the newer characters were fun. It's too bad they lost the character of Melissa. I guess Jennifer took her long-term place on the canvas.

    • The black and white episodes of the show are very special. An atmosphere the color run loses. Dark Shadows was filmed live-on-tape. They could do a retake but it would be very expensive. I think there was a claim that if actors wanted a retake they would curse. There was also a rumor that at one point Joan Bennett accidentally said "Hollywood" instead of "Collinwood" and that necessitated a retake.

    • Loved this IG post from Ambyr about how she and Trisha work together. You can tell these ladies go above and beyond the script, and that they really trust and enjoy working together. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJpJufFPOQ2/?igsh=MXBmcWs0YzIwaXVhNA==

    • It is a shame that more characters didn't go the ATWT-Barbara route and make the ingénue into an antagonist. Sort of like they did with Liza/Hogan/Sunny, less successfully. It is a credit to ATWT's creativity that breathed life in that character for years after she was fighting off bulls in Spain.  But, a character like Liza can only have so many true loves and high jinks on the high seas.  They need another reason to be in the story. Liza's wealth, as well as her acumen to see through fraud, was fertile ground for tons of stories.  But, I feel like the business stories for Liza were always about her being easily overwhelmed, rather than exploring things like her leadership and managerial skills.
    • STFU!! Dante!!! This nonsense of blaming Gio is just ridiculous! Alexis and Lucky are becoming so unlikable. Why are the writers writing these characters so poorly?
    • Keith still comes off younger to me. I thought he wasn't that bad for his first day.
    • To be fair, they were only recently step-siblings.  Their parents married within the past few years.  And, Draper's father Ansel was not coy about the fact that he married Raven's mother, Nadine, for the money. And, Raven's sort of sticking it to April that not only can she have a baby (April has a heart condition that makes it difficult for her to carry a child to term), she could also have April's man, if she wanted him.
