Personally, I will not see this film. Not because it’s has extreme violence, because it’s a Tarantino film. I watched Mr. Tarantino’s speech, in full and in context. As for as I’m concerned Mr. Tarantino is a despicable human being. The thought of giving him one penny of my money makes me cringe.

I have a personal connection with law enforcement, both local and federal. A dear cousin (NYPD) and myself (federal).

Cannot see why police would be so angry with Tarantino when you take his words in context. He is upset with the violence by police by specific individuals in different police forces. It does seem that some police departments do have a problem with racism. That seems to be factual too that some police departments in this country still in 2014 have problems with racism. It goes both ways though. I mean that some blacks can be racist about whites.

We'll not be seeing it either (me - State, wife - Federal). We will get more enjoyment out of our money when my wife is able to play golf again rather than watching a movie produced by a cop hater.

I don't see the value in going on a public forum and calling people names.

I go to the movies based on the content of the film and how much I enjoy the type of movie. Viewing extreme violent content, graphic blood, obscene language, and rape does absolutely nothing to say, "Hey, Sandtrap, let's see this movie".

I am passing on the film solely based on content.

Couldn't agree more.

Timing is everything.
I read in your postings that this Black Lives Matters event had taken place only a few days after an NYPD Officer was shot in the head while attempting to arrest a fleeing felon. Also, within the past year, two NYPD Officers were executed subsequent to the growing negative propaganda spewed by ill informed Black Lives Matters protesters.
In another of your postings, the author speaks of the protests in Fugerson Mo. Michael Brown was a thug criminal who just prior to choosing to Batter a Police Officer, in fact committed a Felonious Strong Armed Robbery, yet the community protesters do not consider this.
I spent 37 years of my life as a Police Officer in Baltimore Md, NYPD, Cape Coral Fl. and Rikers Island.
I can tell you that I have watched race relations advance positively through the 70s-2000s, but since the actions of Eric Holder and his boss, much of these gains have been greatly reduced.
Yes, Police Officers on occasion do commit crimes and even murder. But these events although extremely negative for the community, and the Police are very very very rare.
So in the log run, if you cannot understand why the Cops, neighbors and others choose to protest Tarentino, oh well.
By the way, the suggestion that these men and women would better use their time volunteering in less fortunate neighborhoods............
Most of them have spent YEARS OF BLOOD SWEET AND TEARS doing the best they could working in a majority of these neighborhoods, many being shot, cut, beaten, and or severely disabled both physically and at times mentally resulting in PTSD. Its now their time to enjoy whatever's left.

It will take me some time to go over all this.

I said that retired officers would be more effective to their communities if they volunteered in Ocala, Leesburg and other local areas than picketing The Hateful Eight. Of course they have earned their retirements.

Quentin Tarantino made some vague statements about murders of suspects by police which has happened over the past few years.

Do you think this is all a marketing ploy? That would be upsetting but I do not see it as that.

I as well will never see this movie. He is a self proclaimed cop hater. How dare he blame ALL police officers for the VERY FEW abusive police. This is extreme prejudice and he should be ashamed of his comments. I will say to others, if you share the well deserved respect that all of the Law Enforcement officers deserve, then show your support by not seeing this movie.

He never said that where I can find it. https://reason.com/blog/2015/10/30/p...er-quentin-tar

"I'm a human being with a conscience," said Tarantino, who flew in from California for the event. "And if you believe there's murder going on then you need to rise up and stand up against it. I'm here to say I'm on the side of the murdered."

Once again, TIMING IS EVERYTHING. Unfortunately, there are Black lives Matter protests all over the country. This self serving scumbag chose to make his comments immediately after the assassination of the NYPD Officer in the City where the Officer was gunned down. That's reeks of marketing stink.

Nuff said.

[rubicon]

Methinks Tarantino's title "The Hateful Eight" was a Freudian slip meant to include Quentin Tarantino, Samuel Jackson, Jamie Fox, Michal Moore, Bill Maher, Jane Fonda, Al Sharpton and Jeramiah Wright.

That's my story and I am sticking to it

What is really ironic about your post is that you will probably find that nearly all of Hollywood is very far left. If you knew what they were thinking you would probably not watch any TV or movies. I personally don't care what Hollywood types say. I watch what I want to watch regardless of the personal views of those who made it. Boycotts and protests don't work on me either. You see, their words just aren't that important.

I did find Los Angeles kind of strange on my various visits but recall that there are a good number of Hollywood types who are rather hard line conservatives like one of my favorite Directors Clint Eastwood. I have seen every one of his movies and really do not care what he says at various political events like with that certain empty chair.

I still see no evidence that Tarantino was trying to capitalize on the murder of a NYPD officer for the sake of movie ticket sales. Many African-Americans have been in his movies since he started directing and he seems to be a champion of African American rights. He has been that way as long as he has been working in Hollywood. Quentin Tarantino says 'it's about damn time' US discussed its racist past | Film | The Guardian
