This.Movie.Was.EPIC.

I'm not a movie reviewer but I felt compelled to spread the word about this movie. Leonardo DiCaprio REALLY got into character and the parts were well played. Probably the best movie I have ever seen Jamie Foxx in.

Personally, I give it a 9 out of 10 ONLY because I don't think Rick Ross should have been played in a certain part of the movie. Doesn't necessarily fit the time period but I think that was the idea anyway knowing Tarantino. For 2.5 hours run time, at no point did it feel like it was dragging on.

Another amazing performance by Christoph Waltz. I believe he's the most talented actor in Hollywood today. Leonardo DiCaprio and Jamie Foxx performed well too. This movie has made me realize that Quentin Tarantino is a truly talented writer and director. He knows how to make a movie with the funniest and most serious scenes ever. Some of the scenes had me rolling in my seat at the theatre. Only two movies have made me do that that: Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds (also written and directed by Tarantino).

I give it a 10/10, even if one song seemed out of place in that era.

Samuel L Jackson had me in tears! This movie had an abundance of funny moments. Especially the eye holes of the riders of the night. LMFAO

Another great outing from Quentin and easily one of the most humerous. The hood eyehole scene was hilarious. I suspected that Jackson's Uncle Rukus was the truly evil one and was happy to see that materialize, snowball. I like how he used the same over the top style as Inglorious to bring the catharsis home. Not sure why Spike Lee was so upset, maybe cause he didn't think of it first? :)

Dialogue was a little weaker in general, but the pacing, humor, and texture more than made up for it.

I thought this thread was about a sequel to the green lizzard movie xD

(that was Rango lol)

Django (1966)

http://www.imdb.com/...ref_=fn_al_tt_2

The first Django western movie was from 1966 with the excellent Franco Nero. It is a completely different story than the new Tarantino movie, but of course Tarantino pays some sort of tribute to the movie he got the name from as Franco Nero is in a cameo role in the new movie.

Franco Nero to the right (duh)

I've not seen a movie as good as this in what feels like quite awhile. Top marks from me and I'll be picking it up on Blu-ray as soon as it's released.

My favourite scene in the movie is without a doubt when Django shoots at Quentin (whilst he was carrying the dynamite) and the following explosion. Not only did I burst out laughing, almost everyone in the cinema did too. This is without a doubt (IMO) Quentin's best film.

Not only did I burst out laughing, almost everyone in the cinema did too.

It was a great movie. For that part, I think I was the only one to burst out laughing. I did too with the western/rap music :woot:

I'd put it behind Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Basterds, but still a decent film. Christoph Waltz is sublime to watch act, and his interactions with Leonardo DiCaprio are really enjoyable.

Also, the scene with the "eye holes in the bags". Brilliantly funny, and Don Johnson back in a white suit FTW!

Completely agree. I normally really enjoy a QT film, but I just didn't care for this one as much.

I also completely agree with the bag scene. Absolutely hilarious!

"Yes Big Daddy!" :laugh:

My dad is one of those people that doesn't seem to like most movies he watches/which are released. I advise him on movies all the time, what I think he may like based on what he's liked in the past. He still usually hates those movies.

He also hates watching anything over 2:00h and prefers the old school 1:30h-ish movie.

Yet he loved this movie!

I really enjoyed it! I was mainly looking forward to it because I enjoyed Christoph Waltz in Basterds, and new he would be in the main supporting role. It was definitely a Tarantino film. Even though it was lengthy and stretched a bit past the natural crescendo, I didn't really tire of it.

Quentin's Aussie accent was pretty decent, surprisingly, but having John Jarrat in there was going a bit far!

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.
    • Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.
    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
