So basically, Smith and Waltz are going to belabor 20 minute dialogues about slavery and hunting down criminals in the midst of about a dozen cameos.
Goodie.
I don't give a fuck what anyone says: Inglorious Basterds was self-indulgent retardation incarnate. And this looks like it's going to be even more of the same, except with the commentary being on the evils of slavery rather than the spread of Nazism.
I like talk pieces. I'll go so far as to say that Inglorious Basterds had good dialogue, but there's no way Tarentino could ever assume that this is practical story-telling. Every single character in the film had the same level of conversational finesse and the innate ability to profile one another. It's kinda fun to listen to every once in a while, but when it gets too repetitious, it doesn't make any fucking sense. As such, it's apparent that Tarentino is using every character as a reflection of his own words and nuances.
