That's my story and I am sticking to it

I agree.

Well, I will still go as it takes a lot more than one man or woman to make a movie. This is like boycotting a concert because the conductor is an @#$%^. Or not going to a public library because the Library Director is a crook.

The Hateful Eight opens here in the Villages but just at the Rialto Theater as far as I know. What are they going to do ask people what movie they are going to see and then argue with them about not seeing it?

I have a deep respect for law enforcement even if I did cross swords with some of them as a Student Attorney at Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners back at the headquarters of the Hennepin Cgounty Sheriff's Office.

Obviously, based on your subsequent posts, the swords you crossed have been embedded somewhere in your psyche.......or you have experienced some questionable (in your mind) experiences since then. You doth protest too much! See your movie, enjoy your movie; but why come on here to defend your reason to "enjoy" a blood and guts movie directed by a cop hater?

He is not a cop hater. Where do you kind that from what he has written or said? He attacked bad cops who abuse the law based partially on their racist views.

And "enjoy" is not the word I would use for experiencing Quentin Tarantino movies.

I have not the foggiest idea what you mean by swords crossing. I have NEVER had any problems with any police. I did play the student lawyer game with them in 1989 or 1988 while at the University of Minnesota Law School and Legal Assistance to Minnesota Prisoners. I was trying to get some records from their office about an incident in which my client alleged he was beaten. Instead of giving me the log of the day that my client was allegedly beaten they wanted me to give the time, date, and other particulars. My client could not remember the exact time and date when he was allegedly beaten so he dropped it. Whether or not he was actually beaten, I have no idea.

Is this a new trick of attacking other TOTVers credibility? Look at many of their posts and then make hasty over-generalizations about them?

Why not address the issue of what this thread is about rather than making ad hominem attacks on me?

I rest my case.

Done with this nonsense.

I think you could fill in the Hateful Eighty. [emoji6]

Quentin Tarantino Sued Over 'Django Unchained'

Tarantino might have a problem with this lawsuit.

I have looked for news about the boycott of the Hateful Eight and cannot find much of anything except the Villages' protest and much older articles about what it seems are abandoned plans of a boycott.

Take a look at the author's other stories.

Thanks, tomwed.

I just read Wikipedia's entry on Tarantino. I knew he was a HS drop-out and wasn't always well off. It's an interesting life. He always seems to go against the grain.

He is not one of my favorite actors/directors/producers, etc. but I do respect the body of his work.

I would not spend my money to see any Tarantino movie expressly because of his convoluted view of society. On one hand he makes millions highlighting and creating violent movies and on the other hand he decries what the police must do to stop crime in America. Tarantino and his ilk are idiots who live in a fantasy world of their own creating! Not on my dime!!!!!

People should look at what he actually said than what people are claiming he said. They are often far from the same thing.

Guess it doesn't really matter if we take his spoken nonsense and dissect it to figure out EXACTLY what he is saying. The guy is a jerk. He's in his own little world with Michael Moore and other Hollywood loudmouths. We all get it Taltarzac.....you like the guys blood and guts movies. That's fine....enjoy them. In the meantime don't try to persuade other that he's a decent person. ALL lives matter.

If you don't like someone's posts, block them. It's like not listening. Don't tell them not to speak. I want to hear what everyone has to say. If I just listen to people who think exactly as I do, I won't learn anything new.
