| Opening Christmas Day Briefly, former dentist Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz), recently turned lucrative pre-Civil War bounty hunter, buys the freedom of slave, Django (Jamie Foxx), training him in finding, hunting and killing the wanted villains he has been hired to bring to heel.(snip)We are, again, under a different director, being toasted over an Oliver Stone goblet of faux history. History as rewritten by nihilist jokers with an agenda.

Obama (and his acolytes) = reparations. Plain and simple. Now all he needs is a palomino.

Holy pontificating, it´s a Tarantino movie. Lighten up.
Inglourious B@sterds was quite good. The Israelis loved it.

I went into "Inglourious Bastards" thinking that I would hate it. It turned out to be an amazing piece of film making with some of the best written scenes I´ve seen in years. The opening scene in the French farm house, with it´s expert mixing of languages, and espicially the scene in the basement of the cafe, which lasted for almost a half hour of discursive interlocking conversations like a Chekhov play. Of course no Chekhov play ever ended in a bloodbath.

It will be a longgggg day in Hell before this WHITE person goes to see anything with Jamie Foxx in it. Just read his comments on Drudge, which, when you add them to Lord and Savior Obama, really stele things.....white people dead, ho ho ho, etc. This Foxx must be one dumb guy---there goes a good portion of his audience right off the bat........take a look at Drudge (Tuesday Dec. 11th) for your laugh of the day.

And wasn´t Samuel Jackson the guy who was heavily featured in Obama ads saying the earth will die if Romney wins over Barack. The devil with them both. (I know Jackson does well; caught a talk show once where he talked about his servants at home etc., all this while wearing that idiot beret he has adopted.) I do NOT need to spend my $ money on films making these guys richer--and more contemptuous---=still.

I also thought the basement scene in Inglorious was great, but the rest of the movie was almost unwatchable.
BTW, the Brad Pitt character was a transparent attempt at mocking Bush and the global war on terror.

Maybe it´s a typo but, the Civil War did not begin two years after 1848. It began in 1860. Just sayin´.

Seems like Tarantino has settled on making faux historical revenge flicks for previously oppressed minorities. Given our current state of victimhood, he´ll have not shortage of material.

Anyone that watches this movie is an enabler to the Black racists that are a plague to this Country. It is no different than writing a check to the DNC.

It´s his version of a ´70s ´Blaxploitation´ film. It´s not political at all...Tarentino is just reviving yet another dead movie genre.

Where did they come up with the name Django? The only Django I ever heard of was the great guitarist Django Reinhardt and he was a Hungarian gypsy.

Pumping up the troops for new race war Zippy plans to unleash to stay in office.
How long before this and things like it get added to Zippy´s new "core curriculum" standards so as to rewrite history such that blacks, not whites, ended American slavery?

Enlightening and interesting review. I´ll probably go see the movie, but not at the first-run theater... sounds like it worth $2.
Reviewer Dreyfus compared Tarantino with another "faux-history" director, Oliver Stone. There´s a big difference, however. Tarantino makes no pretense at behing historically accurate. Stone wants you think his movies are documentaries. (IMO they are more boring than most documentaries. Nobody ever accused Tarantino of being boring.)

The fact that this bit of information was conveyed to the protesters by a Department of Homeland Security officer who was also in attendance.

Remember president Obama´s first pitch of the MLB 2010 season at the Washington Nationals ballpark? It sailed towards the home team dugout. While he couldn´t throw a baseball within ten feet of home plate -- even if it took a double bounce on the way in -- Obama has tossed perfect incendiary strikes inside his own clubhouse, sending his entire team to the disabled list, demoted to the minor leagues, or banned from the game for life. In fact Obama´s entire liberal-progressive league has forfeited the rest of the season -- and then some.

Hey, liberals! Obama thinks you are stupid. Yeah, he really does. He knew Benghazi was terrorism before he didn´t know it was terrorism. Addressing a question about Benghazi in his press conference Monday, May 13, 2013, Obama´s "logic" really made an impression: "The Day after it happened I acknowledged that this was an act of terrorism." (snip) Leaving behind Obama´s initial certitude about Benghazi having been a terror attack, not only did he not know what had happened because it wasn´t clear

What person ever says what he really knows at a funeral? Eulogies bearing little or no resemblance to the deceased or to the facts are trotted out by people who are often bad actors, who though they know better, lie anyway. It´s almost acceptable behavior. But any truth about the deaths of U.S. Ambassador Christ Stevens and three other Americans appears to have been put six feet under as far as our current administration is concerned. (snip)Did they love Chris Stevens the way Brutus loved Caesar?

Somewhere, Andrew Breitbart is smiling. You can almost see the metaphorical light bulbs going on in bubbles over the heads of liberal media figures. Obama loyalists are expressing outrage at the subpoenaing of the phone records of 20 lines serving over a hundred AP reporters. The timing could not be better.(snip) the AP scandal´s significance entirely lies with its effect on the media´s mindset on Obama. They have been cheerleading for him for six years,

Philadelphia abortionist Kermit Gosnell was convicted yesterday on three counts of first-degree murder, not to mention a slew of other charges, including involuntary manslaughter (for the death of 41-year-old Karnamaya Mongar), infanticide, and abortions past Pennsylvania´s legal limit. (snip)in a culture dominated by the 24-hour news cycle, it will be easy for Americans to consider the abortion issue closed with the Gosnell verdict. The pro-life movement´s challenge, as [Lila] Rose says, is to keep the American people focused on how common Gosnell-like practices are in the abortion industry, and on all the unsung victims abortion

Former Rep. Anthony Weiner, whose career in public life came to an abrupt end when he sent lewd pictures to a college student on Twitter, jumped back into politics on Wednesday by announcing a bid for mayor of New York City. “Look, I’ve made some big mistakes and I know I’ve let a lot of people down,” the Democrat said in a 2-minute video announcing his bid. “But I’ve also learned some tough lessons. I’m running for mayor because I’ve been fighting for the middle class and those struggling to make it for my entire life.

The dam protecting the IRS scandal began to crack today when Lois Lerner, the IRS official who announced, and apologized for, the improper singling out of conservative-leaning organizations by IRS employees under her command, announced through her criminal defense lawyer that she will not testify as scheduled tomorrow before the House Oversight Committee. Rather, she will assert her Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination. This marks an enormous milestone in the IRS investigation. It can now be taken as more or less established that crimes were committed by Obama administration employees. Lerner’s lawyer tried to minimize the significance

The friend said he left the interview, and when he came back to the apartment he found that there had been a shooting.

When you get right down to it, the political targeting and stalling of tax-exempt applications by the IRS was an effort to defund the Tea Party. Rick Santelli, one of the Tea Party founders and my CNBC colleague, was the first to make this point. I’ve taken it a step further: The IRS was taking the Tea Party out of play for the 2012 election, as it looked to avoid a repeat of 2010 and another Tea Party landslide.There are a lot of numbers out there.

The public got its first look Thursday at Lois Lerner, who has gone from faceless IRS bureaucrat to the face that launched what feels like 1,000 congressional hearings and conspiracy theories. But it was only a brief sighting since she didn´t stay long at a House hearing to further probe her role in how some IRS workers came to target conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status. (Snip)She did make a short statement to declare her innocence, however. Lerner´s motivation was more transparent than much of what the IRS has done in connection with this controversy. She was determined to

WASHINGTON – A top IRS official in the division that reviews nonprofit groups will invoke the Fifth Amendment and refuse to answer questions before a House committee investigating the agency’s improper screening of conservative nonprofit groups. Lois Lerner, the head of the exempt organizations division of the IRS, won’t answer questions about what she knew about the improper screening – or why she didn’t reveal it to Congress, according to a letter from her defense lawyer, William W. Taylor 3rd. Lerner was scheduled to appear before the House Oversight committee Wednesday.
