I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

I noticed that, too. I didn't look before I posted mine.

Why the H8 for Django? Is it cause of all the "n"-words?

lol no. I think the third act is garbage. Once Sam tells the blowjob story, then they start choking JJL, the whole thing just feels mean-spirited and gratuitous. Loved the first 2/3 though.

I feel pretty similarly. I love the rest so much that I don't care. I ordered the Blu-Ray, which is arriving today and will watch it today or tomorrow and see if I can enjoy it from a different perspective or not. If so, it may be moving up my list.

wait a minute... you're describing hateful 8.. I'm talking about django.. why the h8 for django

Sorry, your "H8" threw me off...

Same issues with Django, only for the entire film. Felt like QT wants me to feel bad about slavery. I already do. The brutality he illustrates, mixed with the "comic touches," just left a bad taste in my mouth. Felt exploitive and not particularly entertaining.
