I loved it. I love QT films. Hilarious to hear SL Jackson's character using the same phraseology (in the 1850s) that his Pulp Fiction character used.

Wow I love the hell out of Ennio Morricone, one of the most underated movie track artists ever.

Django action figures anyone? Would you buy or are they offensive?

Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" has already been the subject of criticism for its bloody violence and frequent use of the N-word, but now action figures from the film are causing the next wave of outrage.

he National Entertainment Collectibles Association, Inc. (NECA) -- a company that has produced toys for movies including "Hunger Games," "Predators" and "Rocky" -- partnered with the Weinstein Company to release eight-inch tall figurines for sale on Amazon and people aren't happy about it.

Najee Ali, director of the advocacy group Project Islamic Hope, told AP that the collectible line of movie merchandise is "a slap in the face of our ancestors" and is hoping for their removal from the market.

And unlike Spike Lee, who refuses to watch Tarantino's latest out of respect for his ancestors, Ali wasn't opposed to Tarantino's depiction of slavery or use of racial slurs in the revenge tale. He admits to seeing it twice, but feels the plastic personifications of the characters in the film "trivializes the horrors of slavery and what African Americans experienced."

So far, customer reviews on Amazon agree.

"Slavery is not something to play with," one of many comments in the same vein read. "These toys will fall in the hands of people who may think it is ok to mimic how slaves were treated. Please take these dolls off the market."

Others, however, don't have any issue with the figurines portraying Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and others who starred in the movie.

"If fans of this film want to collect memorabilia and action figures based off of a movie they enjoyed, it is a far stretch to say that the makers of this movie are attempting to make money off of slavery," one supportive collector wrote. "There is nothing racist about making a toy based off of a character from a movie."

As the racial debate over "Django Unchained" continues, the movie is raking in big bucks at the box office. With over $108 million accumulated domestically, Tarantino's latest is on pace to become his biggest success yet at the box office.

Due to the sensitive subject matter, it is on track to becoming Tarantino's most controversial, too.

The Weinstein Company did not immediately respond to TheWrap's request for comment on the action figures, while NECA responded with no comment "at the moment."

It irritates me that people find the language offensive. It's a movie set in slavery times for ****s sake. Great movie. And while I LOVE Tarantino's choice of music in damn near every movie he's made, and love the music in this, there was admittedly a bit too many scenes with music in this.

Samuel L was ****ing awesome in this too.

yep.
but i kept thinking of Uncle Ruckus from the Boondocks.

"You want me to dress myself?"

I would just like to point out that I have been on the planet for half a century, and this is a sentence that comes up rarely. If you have ever heard or used this sentence before, it would be interesting to know the context. It sounds unique enough that it should be placed on a city monument somewhere; you know, a militiaman on a horse with a powder rifle, or something, with the words "LOTS OF PEOPLE WALKED OUT AT THE COCK AND BALLS SCENE" engraved on the bottom.

I'd like to see it at the bottom of a newlywed photo in the ladies section of the newspaper.

I felt the same way. Still one of my favorite movies now, but IMO it wouldve been better with a couple songs cut out

Watched this movie last night. Loved it. It was a great movie, better than i thought it would be, TBH. I went in expecting blood and guts, instead i got a great, all around movie. I woke up thinking about the movie....that's when you know it was a good film.

"I got two guns, ****a"

The movie was pretty good. I reeeallly liked Dr. Shultz character. Leo was amazing, as usual, and Samuel L. was great too, although his character really pissed me off...

Christoph Waltz wins the golden globe for best supporting actor for Django.

And QT wins the golden globe for best screenplay!

Great movie.

Heard Samuel Jackson on the radio a cpl days ago, and they asked him if he had to get used to people referring to him as the n word.
He said: It's just a ****ing word. It really shouldn't hold the kind of power that we give it by gasping at the thought of uttering it.
Edit: at the thought of White people uttering it, I think he meant.
