    I guess Spike Lee doesn't think that the word "n!gger" was used very much back in the days of slavery? I'm sure everybody respectfully called them "african americans."

    Hell, I think Samuel L Jackson and Jamie Foxx used the word more than anybody else in the movie.

    I think he's just fucking with us. He almost never reveals new projects before he has a lot in the can, and in interviews, he's been dressing like Spike Lee, with the oversized backwards newsie hat, and FUBU/Wu Wear jerseys, and not acknowledging it at all. It's pretty elegant trolling, truth be told.

    While doing press for his new release Django Unchained, director Quentin Tarantino revealed plans for a future project titled Killer Crow, an Inglourious Basterds spin-off to be set in 1944 after Normandy.

    "I don't know exactly when I'm going to do it, but there's something about this that would suggest a trilogy," Tarantino told The Root (via Salon). "My original idea for Inglourious Basterds way back when was that this [would be] a huge story that included the [smaller] story that you saw in the film, but also followed a bunch of black troops, and they had been f--ked over by the American military and kind of go apes--t. They basically -- the way Lt. Aldo Raines (Brad Pitt) and the Basterds are having an "Apache resistance" -- [the] black troops go on an Apache warpath and kill a bunch of white soldiers and white officers on a military base and are just making a warpath to Switzerland."

    The filmmaker continued, "So that was always going to be part of it. And I was going to do it as a miniseries, and that was going to be one of the big storylines. When I decided to try to turn it into a movie, that was a section I had to take out to help tame my material. I have most of that written. It's ready to go; I just have to write the second half of it."

    Tarantino added that Killer Crow "would be [connected to] Inglourious Basterds, too, because Inglourious Basterds are in it, but it is about the soldiers."

    I don't understand this. What happened back then WAS offensive to the entire human species. I'm glad someone has the balls to tell stories about it and not try to gloss it over.

    Great flick. I think it's funny that Spike Lee will make negative comments about it regarding Quentin Tarantino but you never hear him mention anything negative about his brothers Jamie Fox or Samuel Jackson for playing the parts in the movie.

    Katt Williams says he is going to put his fist in Tarantino's mouth when he sees him
    In between getting out of jail and getting in the middle of a parking lot brawl, Katt Williams took the time to talk to TMZ about "Django Unchained" ... and threatened to mess up Quentin Tarantino if he gets the chance.

    IB I really liked the first time I saw it but didn't think it was that great. I made the mistake of going to a movie tavern to see it it and was thoroughly shitfaced halfway through though. I think all things considered it is probably his best film. Not my favorite, necessarily, but his most well done overall.
