Yup and a nice spin on it too.drizzle wrote:so let's quietly use this thread to talk about a certain movie that succeeds marvelously as a genre exercise but that fact is lost on people who are caught up in the faggotry of the official thread
who caught the very very very awesome reference to GBU at the end? it wasn't very obvious but so soooooo damn good
i thought so too. I might be wrong but Calvin's blood smear on Broomhilda scene felt like a reference to Lee Marvin doing that in The Klansman. The Aussie miners felt like a reference to something in particular, no idea what.drizzle wrote:also, was the shot of Foxx bathing in the hot springs directly cribbed from Great Silence?
Didn't mind the Rick Ross track, it dropped pretty nicely but some of the other songs felt a bit out of place.drizzle wrote:also, kind of a shame that QT blew his whole load of Spaghetti themes and ques on KB2. these were missed here, not enough of them. and if he wanted original music, there are literally dozens of bands that do similar shit these days, and any one would've fit better than rick ross
