Ni66a please.

Not even the Dead Hebrew storage scene from Pulp Fiction? That one always felt gratuitous.

And what about the critisism from Spike Lee, an African-American, that Tarantino seems like he wants to be named an honorary black man?

On the other hand, Samuel L. Jackson supports Tarantino even though he has lightly admonished him for certain things.

I'm relying on you here aj, you are one of the bigger guys here and I respect your opinion.

He is just a stupid asshat that thinks he is cool enough and black enough to use that word. Tarantino is the kayne west of film directors. He rips and steals everything and then acts like he is a genius.

Meh, much of his work is in the the gangster genre, and the last two films were set in 1800's America. Guess what, the word nigge-r, nigg-a, and tons of other vulgarities flew in those worlds. I suppose because his stuff is on the pulpier side of the spectrum, sites like Gawker, etc.... feel more comfortable taking him for task for it.

The man's vision, is the man's vision. He should be able to express it freely.

Not even the Dead Hebrew storage scene from Pulp Fiction? That one always felt gratuitous.

This is the only scene that he did that seemed a bit odd to just have as a scene. Especially considering when Pulp Fiction was made.

That said, the rest doesn't bother me even one little bit and to be honest, while I understand why black people say white people shouldn't be able to drop the N-Bomb. I am of the mindset of it's either it's bad or it's good. What the individual's skin color is that says it is irrelevant.

So if it's ok for SLJ to say it, then it's ok for anyone to say it.

If it's not ok for him to say it, then it's not ok for anyone.

That's all.

Go look at the 70s films he rehashes. His films are the same, except with better directing. He'd probably do an "homage" to the Pig Keeper's Daughter and The Big Bird Cage.

Dusk till Dawn was great until it turns into a silly vampire flick. Although that and Desperado were Robert Rodriguez movies.
All Tarantino movies seem the same to me. Trying too hard to be cool and "hip" (hence his love affair with the N-word, the liberal politics and the OTT cartoony violence) and all with a predictable plot to do with revenge.

Reservoir Dogs, True Romance, and Pulp Fiction are the best of the Tarantino bunch. If you want to swap out True Romance for Jackie Brown(it being a full Tarantino film), and move Pulp up one, I'd go for that too.

No, but it's hard to manage your response to certain words. I don't know what it's like to be racially abused, but I imagine it's not somethings that's easy to shrug off for most people.

He also sounds like a creepy, retarded inbred. His casual use of the n-word, is done purely for shock value and in an attempt to makes his films look more edgy and "real". :-\

Was it being used as A: ('N-word' = an in-group semantic inversion of a dehumanizing term in an endearing fashion), B: ('N-word' = a racist term used to imbrute black people), or C: ('N-word' = muthafucka')?
