When was the last slave movie? I think Amistad was 1997, so 15 years ago. I say good on Quentin for doing one.

Nope.

Nope.

it was a woman and camera just showed her covering her face.

[kitik]

it was a woman and camera just showed her covering her face.

I think the credits said Amber Tamblyn or something like that.

[Michael Gary Scott]

Not clicking on spoilers but being on vacation sucks have to wait til i get back to see it

[Incarnadine]

I think the credits said Amber Tamblyn or something like that.

Looking at the credits on IMDB I think it was Zoe Bell

Any indication yet of how this day is going? Pre-sales in my area are keeping up or in some showings slightly outpacing yesterday. 7+ sellouts from pre-sales so far. The Cineplex website keeps putting up and then taking down sellouts though, but if you check the theatres themselves they're still sold out.

good Christmas Day!Les looks to have a better run than my 145-150m US DoM prediction. didn't see that it becomes a family choice~~" DU could reach the neighborhood of IB's final gross.TH1 keeps it less than ringers' expectation run, and it's good for the climate of these forums.

[teardropmina]

about the n-word discussion. haven't seen DU (it won't be released where I'm for a quite a while), but I think QT has always deliberately being politically incorrect. the time period of DU's story simply gives QT over abundance (or more than usual) of chances for political incorrecting.

Lol at the rating screen:"We thought it would be funny to put this in here. Kiss our asses and take it off pause."

When is N world become such controversial ? Many times even JFK address black people with it and he was definitely not racist.

[riczhang]

It's America people complain for no specific reason. Granted I haven't seen the film so maybe they do have a point when they complain.

When do we normally get final numbers for this time of the year? Can't believe we still don't have final weekend numbers yet.

[Accursed Arachnid!™]

As with most words, it's all based on context. Considering that this film was based in a time when white people called black people the "N" word, I really don't understand where the controversy is.Let's just ignore that people were ever this cruel and/or ignorant, that's the way to make sure it never happens again.

Color me supremely impressed with Django. Phenomenal movie. Leo has balls of steel for agreeing to play this character. I really don`t think that many bone fide movie stars would sign for that 3 dimples speech which is some really fucked up shit. Really fucked up.My show was sold out and so was the next as was next Les Mis. I think that the one at the same time with my show was sold out too, way too many people were going into LM auditorium.Noticed only 1 black person in the audience, few Asians but otherwise this is driven by white folks and my cinema is in very diverse area and Les Mis had diverse audience. django one, however, was almost lilly white. Anyone else had the same situation?Noticed many senior citizens, WTF, and lots of women coming for this.

the controversy isn't over the n-word but the over-use of the word. some think it's just fine, but some think it's over-used.

[teardropmina]

and lots of women coming for this.

four male leads with distinct characters should do the trick.

[CJohn]

Any news about Wednesday numbers?

[fishstick]

Well kudos to crazy brilliant QT mind that fashioned Don Johnson as Colonel Sanders and SLJ as :rofl: Uncle Ben.
