    About the discussion of QT's coverage of genres, I agree that he covers many but he has created his own style. I don't think you can really classify his movie in one particular genre.

    Also, did we all forget Robert Rodriguez's From Dusk Till Dawn? QT wrote the script on at it does indeed take place in a western setting. Django Unchained is not the first.

    Thanks for the updates percicles. Did not know QT was having a new feature coming. He has been pretty quiet as of late. I am almost certain to check out this film. Samuel Jackson? Hell yea! I also noticed Don Johnson (from IMDB) will also be in the film.

    Gonna wait for till Thursday and Prometheus to watch it. But in the likely event that the trailer sucks, I'll remind everyone that the trailers to Tarantino movies always suck compared to the films themselves.

    DiCaprio cannot play a villain, he looks like a teenage boy

    I think he'd be a great villain. Didn't seem like he was being portrayed as a villain though i don't know anything about the movie other than him being the plantation owner.

    Pretty sure Don Johnson is playing the main villian.

    This thread made me curious, but the trailer definitely got my attention.

    WTF was that ****? This was my most anticipated movie of the year, but after watching that I am HUGELY disappointed. I was expecting more of a The Good the Bad the Ugly type spaghetti western. Or something similar to the atmosphere of Inglorious Basterds. Instead it looks like a Soul Train influenced Western. This looks like crap.

    It's like Dark Shadows all over again. I was expecting a more serious movie. Damn.

    More genre bending with '70s slavery flicks, some of which were less about history and healing than about shaping and assimilating black characters cinematically (through violence and sexuality). The dialogue in these things is always so great that all you need is a good self-parodying "cameo" like DiCaprio's to make it enjoyable. So glad this is coming out during Christmas as I've basically stopped going to movies outside of then and all-day Thanksgiving.

    Like Fox in the mid-eighties or Rob Lowe until the last few years he has weird facial proportions and a decent hairline which keeps him looking younger than he is. But I think anyone who observes him can tell he's an adult.
