Jango Unchained by Austin Madison

I love this mash-up from artist Austin Madison. We Jango Fett instead of Django the black cowboy, sure... but that is not what I love about this one the most. I love that his victim is a bloodied Samuel L. Jackson, who played both Mace Windu & Stephen the house slave in Star Wars & Django Unchained. Love when mash-ups work on multiple levels. Great idea. Great execution. Check out more of Madison's work by clicking here, and click after the jump to see the full piece...

Djesus Uncrossed

I have not watched much Saturday Night Live over the past few years, but I do often check out show highlights when there is a guest host or musical guest I like. So this past week when Christoph Waltz was the host, you just knew there was going to be some sort of Tarantino themed skit. I had no idea it would be as fantastic as the faux trailer for Djesus Unchained, another revisionist history movie in the vein of Django Unchained and Inglourious Bastards. Absolutely spot on, from the patented Tarantino fonts & credit styles, the music, and the impressions of QT staple actors like Samuel L. Jackson, Brad Pitt, and Ving Rhames. I also love the fact that he is nailed to a cross the whole skit!!!! Check it out after the jump....

Production Halted On Django Unchained Dolls

The heat surrounding the controversial film “Django Unchained” just got turned up another notch or two following the release of action figures based on African American characters from the movie.

The movie, which is set in the years just prior to the Civil War, follows the story of a freed slave who enlists the help of a German man to free his wife from her evil owner in Mississippi.

According to reports, Critics of the film, which was both written and directed by decorated director Quentin Tarantino, originally blasted it for its use of the “N word” when referring to the African Americans in the movie.

Reviews From The Cave Of Cool - Django Unchained (2012)

The story of an ex-slave turned bounty hunter who goes on a blood soaked search for his wife is the most fun I have had with a movie in a long time. There are a hundred reasons why this shouldn't work but it does in spectacular fashion. This is another winner in the long lists of successes for Quentin Tarantino. You either love him or hate him but you can't ignore him.

I could watch Christoph Waltz in a movie everyday of the week. His Doctor King Shultz has such a cool line deliver and in this script he is given some brilliant things to say which he does with great relish. His humanity (even though he is a bounty hunter) is evident from the first time we see him. Tarantino has found his muse and I hope they make many movies together.

Samuel L.Jackson... I Love You Man!!!!!

Samuel L. Jackson has solidified himself as one of the busiest and coolest actors of a generation. he is 64 years old and has played everything from a Jedi Master to the greasiest haired hitman in the history of cinema. He is also General Nick Fury: the commanding officer of S.H.I.E.L.D., real life comic book villain Mr. Glass, and the guy who found them MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON THAT MOTHERFUCKING PLANE!!!! He has worn countless hairpieces & wigs, put on numerous accents, and made interrogation an artform while sprinkling in a bit of geography & religion into his line of questioning. The guy even had his own viral video reading a children's book (Go The Fuck To sleep... its great!)... so to say he could do pretty much anything is an understatement. But his role as house slave Stephen in Django Unchained may be his best yet. If it was up to me, this role would be the one that gets him the supporting actor statuette. He is uncompromising, gives his favorite director Quentin Tarantino the best performance of his career, and isn't afraid to defend the integrity of the movie itself. QT has never been afraid of using the word 'Nigger' in his movies, and when doing a press junket with Jake the Movie Guy from Houston's Fox Affliate Samuel l decided to get the lily white reporter to say the word himself. If you want to ask a question about the N word, you are going to have to say the N word yourself. The results are borderline 'Brett's Interrogation'  from Pulp Fiction, and it just goes to show you how cool Samuel L is and how deeply he believes in his work. Check the full junket out after the jump (it's 17 minutes long), or just jump to the 13:55 mark to get right to Mr. Jackson's comments. You the man Sam... now do that Gator dance and smoke that TV!!!!!! (If you get that Samuel L reference then you are my people)

Django Unchained Figures Done In The Mego Style

These terrific looking figures are are a real throwback to the classic Mego dolls we all remember and love. Fully cloth costumes for the main characters and semi-relalistic head sculps that look like the actors in the movie. Where else are you going to get an ex-slave turned bounty hunter figure these days? Check out more after the jump....

'Django Unchained' Finally Gets A Trailer... I Promptly Faint!!!

Quentin Tarantino is one of my favorite directors ever... shit, he is my favorite living director hands down. I look forward to every movie he makes with baited breath, anticipating another instant classic with each crazy plot point and casting choice QT announces. So when he said he was going to make a blaxploitation western starring Jamie Foxx as a free slave & Chistoph Waltz/Leonardo Dicaprio as white southerners with opposite views on slavery... yeah, my interest was piqued. Now we finally have a trailer. This is the safe for work trailer. I don't know if they could ever release a red band trailer for this flick, not with QTs penchant for the 'N' word... The level of bad assness is this 2 minute clip can't really be described. I can't wait for Christmas!!! Check out the trailer after the jump...
