I can't say he doesn't have talent.

I can say that his use of the word nigger is gratuitous and somewhat offensive.

I can say that I find some of his characters and images questionable.

For example:

A rich, Black gangster who is married to a white actress, chili pimps said wife to his Italian, heroin addicted hitman who happens to be "his nigga", and ultimately gets abducted by rednecks and is anally raped by them..

...while ball gagged....

"What does Marcellus Wallace look like???!!???!.." <~indeed


He can tell a story when he's focused. Pulp style storytelling and the "modern/retro 'B' movie" is his shit. He does well with those vehicles... I rather enjoyed Inglorious Basterds...

but...


Reginald Hudlin be damned.... That does not earn you a "PASS" to live action, Tex Avery...slavery...

...and did I mention that his nigger usage is gratuitous???

I just doesn't feel right....



"Inspectah Deck, he's like...he's like that dude thatta sit back and watch you play yourself and all that right? And see you sit there and know you lyin; and he'll take you to court after that, cuz he the Inspectah."
