    I don’t support violence, but you just KNOW he needs the character-building that only a really solid punch to the face could provide. Backpfeifengesicht, or whatever.

    Probably had a hard time getting him to not say the word “sand” in front of it. Hoping Iran treats him as well as he deserves.

      How do you mean Iran treats him? It appears there was some rumor he was killed by a missile in Israel, but that was false. Is there some other news now?

    It’s his fetish, particularly if he can do it in front of Samuel L Jackson. Makes him think he got away with it by saying, “It’s all for the art form”.

    Tarantino is a Zionist living in Israel, so I find this a bit difficult to swallow.

        Its also a movie, the fact that people are vaguely upset about it is crazy

    Oh no, people say swearwords in films? I can’t tolerate that, definitely wouldn’t want characters in films to speak like people in real life.

      Have you seen the movie? It’s completely unnecessary and excessive. It adds nothing to the movie.

        Indeed, unlike all the swearing people do all day every day, which is crucial to their life.

        Tarantino should pare down the speech of his characters to the level of Disney, then it will be entirely appropriate to the plot and completely realistic.

          Have you seen the movie? Do you know what quotes you’re actually defending, and what the context was?

          Do I have a sign on my lawn that says ‘dead n****r storage’?!

          Wow, so funny and absolutely necessary. And it had to be delivered by a white person. Had to.

        Perhaps you’d also want to watch this scene and tell me why the things McNulty and Moreland saying are in any way necessary and how the scene is then so popular. Btw, the series is also packed with the ‘n-word’, particularly in the first season. How come the depiction of valiant police force doesn’t use ‘black fella’ or something instead?

          What?

          First of all, I love the Wire and I don’t even need to click the link to know what scene you’re referring to.

          I’m actually not convinced that you’ve seen Pulp Fiction if you’re comparing Tarantino unnecessarily saying the N word multiple times to one of the best scenes in television history.

          In fact, I remember one of the quotes from Tarantino from when Vincent and Sam Jackson’s character (forget his name off the top of my head) pull up to Tarantino’s character’s house after accidentally shooting Martin in the head in the backseat of the car.

          Tarantino’s completely necessary joke, the one you’re comparing to a scene from The Wire is,

          Is there a sign on my law that says dead n****r storage?

          Wow, so funny and necessary.

            Yeah, got it, when the word is said in ‘The Wire’, it’s necessary, when it’s in Tarantino’s film, it’s unnecessary. Great criterion.

              Have you seen Pulp Fiction in the last decade?

              Context matters. Who says it matters. What it adds (or doesn’t add) to the dialogue matters.

              Comparing tarratino writing himself in to his own movie to say the n word in a couple forced “jokes,” to The Wire is definitely one of the takes off all time

                  First of all, I have never found it’s use in The Wire to be excessive. I can’t even remember a specific example. Incessant? Lol no. I just rewatched the show last year. They 100% don’t “incessantly use the n-word” in The Wire.

                  Stop being obtuse. Black people in Baltimore in the 90s said the word to each other. So if you’re writing a realistic, gritty show, it might include that word.

                  Not used by white people in throwaway jokes that are supposed to make them seem funny and relatable.

                  Quentin Tarantino has no reason to say it other than “it was in the script.”

                  And who wrote that script? Hmmm.
