Jeff Goldsmith ?@yogoldsmith
From start to finish Django Unchained is a fantastic crowd pleaser. Smartly humorous, great action & dialogue - Definite awards contender!

Jeff Goldsmith ?@yogoldsmith
Interestingly there were many nuanced changes to the leaked script- some minor, some completely new scenes plus cuts as well. Great writing!

Anne Thompson ?@akstanwyck
Django unchained is super violent spaghetti western w/ anachronistic songs. waltz & jackson steal it. All talk & action. 1st screening.

Anne Thompson ?@akstanwyck
Standing ovation for Tarantino at DGA. Taylor hackford doing q and a.

david ehrlich ?@davidehrlich
DJANGO UNCHAINED: holy shite. brutally hilarious spaghetti comedy does for business what Basterds did for war. Best American film of 2012.

@NoreeVictoria
Ho. Ly. Crap. #DjangoUnchained! BEYOND BRILLIANT PERFORMANCES! INCREDIBLE Q&A with Mr. Tarantino himself!

D-Dub ?@silkyd67
Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's first DGA film, is funny, crazy violent, thoroughly entertaining. Luv that Christoph Waltz

D-Dub ?@silkyd67
Django Unchained: Don Johnson needs to work more. He and Christoph Waltz together..awesome

Lou Lumenick ?@LouLumenick
Just watched what was basically a three-hour homage to BLAZING SADDLES



ETA. Ouch..dont like that last tweet...

ETA: New tweets..
Julie Seureau ?@IndieJuls
Really happy to have been to the advanced screening of #Django. Christoph Waltz is such an extraordinary actor. He really stole the thunder!

Julie Seureau ?@IndieJuls
#Django was a great film: very bloody but also very funny. The kind of film that makes you laugh about issues you don't usually laugh at!

Eric Appel ?@erockappel
Well, Django Unchained is fricking incredible. shite, man. The best. Tarantino is the King! Wow!

joshua cordes ?@yumyumfish
Django Unchained was incredible. And this isn't just some "I saw it first" shite happening. Hilarious and exciting. Shoe in Best Pic nom.

AnnaMaria DeMara ?@iamBANANNA
Just saw Django Unchained WOW!! Amazzzzzzing - One of His best movies! & Tarantino showed up for Q & A's

Tarantino's awesome Django unchained its over 2 1/2 hrs & has the best bloodiest shoot out's ever, fantastic performances even from Don Johnson & the KKK will never be the same go see it in the dark with strangers

Lissa Price ?@Lissa_Price
Name dropping: Took a couple of hours off to see Django (great) w/Quentin Tarantino speaking. Got to tell Jamie what an amazing job he did.

Lissa Price ?@Lissa_Price
Much can be learned about scene structure and tension from #Django that I'm taking back to my desk. Thank you, Quentin.

Lissa Price ?@Lissa_Price
Django - it's hard to imagine it any better. It is a Movie with all the emotions, tension, surprises and it's a statement. @SpencerToday

Lissa Price ?@Lissa_Price
Django Unchained is everything Tarantino fans expect from him and more. Foxx, Waltz, and Jackson are brilliant. Cannot imagine anyone else.

Rian Johnson ?@rcjohnso
Django was terrific. DiCaprio blows the roof off the joint.


Ken Adams‏@TaybackX

...stuff and your typical QT humor and violence. Jackson's character is Tarantino's greatest creation ever, Waltz is great as well

Hmm..they cut 40 mins from the film..

Jeff Goldsmith ?@yogoldsmith
The runtime of Django Unchained is around 2 hours & 40 mins & I wanted it to be longer~

Richard Kelly ?@JRichardKelly
@yogoldsmith I saw the 3 hr 20 min cut. It was amazing.

Yep. Sounds like it will a contender. Of course this is just 1st screening reaction.

Sidenote: I added more reaction to the original post.

It could be good, but those reactions don't have me that excited.



Related, I'm expecting another Sukiyaki Western Django, but with black people and no swords. FWIW, I didn't think Sukiyaki Western Django was that good.

no, it will suck, bad


Music board had this: LINK (you can tell the dialog is sub-par)

the same idiot that would license this, is incapable of making a film that could possibly be enjoyed by anyone with half a brain.

You are absolutely retarded if you get suckered into spending money going to see this obvious money grab. It's people like you who have made hollywood as shitty as it has become.

I have no desire to see this. Plus I can't stand Jamie Fox.

playing a scared cabby? He wasn't bad I guess, but he was a non-factor in the movie.....anyone could have done what he did for the movie, and IMO would have been better for the movie. He doesn't come off as a believable character on his own. In Ray he was playing someone we know, he didnt invent Ray.

Well if it helps any...

Jamie supposedly plays it like "The Man with No Name"

No not saying he's Eastwood. But that he really doesnt say much..its more the other characters that carry the movie.

You mean his acting chops Wanda from In Living Color and The Soloist are poor?


I am glad this is getting good reviews. Can't wait!
