Django Unchained Ad

I've got to admit that ad they just showed really sucked. That was clearly a "we don't know how to sell this movie so we will just list the stars."

What do you mean they don't know to sell this movie?

Will Smith >>>> Jamie Fox show

People really need to get over Will Smith passing on this one. Jamie Foxx is a damn good actor and from what I've read he delivers a great performance in Django.

Pretty sure they know exactly what the frick they are doing

That ad was garbage. I'm not hating on the movie but the ad showed nothing about the movie other than the cast and their names. That simply was a shite ad.

Not like they have to do much to market it. All they need to do is what you said. List the stars and the fact it is a Tarantino project....profit.

You say it like Tarintino doesn't make a quality product.

I'm not harping on the movie itself. Just the crappy ad. I don't see how anyone can say anything other than that the ad sucked.

I recognize Foxx as a quality actor, but when I watch him I just see an arrogant a-hole. When I found out he was the main dude in Django, I thought it might get in the way of my enjoyment of the movie. However, from what I've seen in the trailers so far, the movie should be great enough and have enough great performances by guys like Christoph Waltz and Samuel Jackson to override my dislike of Foxx. I agree on the lack of necessity for marketing. It will have a built-in initial audience just because it is Tarantino, and if it is good enough then word of mouth will carry it the rest of the way. No marketing necessary.

Smith didn't pass, QT said smith couldn't pull off the slave acting and Foxx was better

Jamie Foxx deserved to play this role. Will Smith sucks now.
And QT knows what he's doing.

So foxx is a better "brotha"?

i don't see the point in everyone pushing Smith as better than Foxx in this role.

I'll defer to Tarantino on this because he is a genius and earned the right not to be questioned
But I have to agree that Foxx's mega douche personality kinda rubs me wrong. Makes you not want him getting the credibility of a lead role in a QT film . Seems like Smith woulda been money in this

All you guys second guessing the choice of Foxx for Django will be pleasantly surprised with his performance. He was very, very good as Django.

The ad may not have told you anything about what the movie is about but that's not why the advertisers are paid. They are paid to get people to go see the movie and maybe the best way of doing that is listing the actors and director

After the shite he pulled on SNL last night, I will never watch anything that features this racist, Obama-worshipping piece of shite. Enjoyed getting to kill all the white people, oh you're so fricking funny a-hole! I wonder how funny black folks would have thought it was if some white person said that shite about killing all the black people. We would NEVER hear the end of it!

Jamie Foxx sucks.
That is all.
