Do you really feel there is a huge difference in me putting a big warning on it and having somebody click a tag?

Be advised that I also didn't think about spoiler tagging the whole thing. My motivation was I didn't want to spoiler tag the specific parts in the text. Either way calm down dude. I'm not a dick.

I'm not a huge movie buff, that this film was intense. I've never walked out of a movie theater while making gestures that suggest I just walked away from a car wreck before. That said, it also had some hilarious parts like Exo said. SLJ deserves an Oscar for this ****. Best film I've seen in a while.
Edit: Also, Tarantino's role was hysterical.

The scene with the hoods, I almost cried laughing.

A lot better than Tarantino's previous movie, imo. Finally a good performance from Samuel L. Jackson, he's been playing in so much crap lately I began losing the respect I had for him as an actor.
Generally I really enjoyed Django. It didn't disappoint me in any way.

I feel like the trailers spoiled that scene for me. I thought it was funny but it would have been way funnier if I didn't know what to expect.

I thought the entire film was pretty great. And Christopher Waltz is particularly brilliant in it. Check out some of his early work. The man has paid his dues..

This movie was incredible, and if there were any justice in the world, snotty little attention seekers who wanted to seem overly anti-racist would be set on fire in public. This is the same god damn crowd that never finds joy in a god damn thing because "they never told the part about X." If you came to Django for a history lesson, you're a ****ing idiot who doesn't deserve the freedom of speech the government affords you.

If you thought the guy who made Pulp Fiction was going to make a more historically accurate Roots, I don't know why you thought that. People talking about how unrealistic a movie is don't understand that movies aren't for educational purposes. Its primarily why movies aren't cited in academic papers 90% of the time. Its why they sell popcorn and beer at the movie threaters but not at the book store, its why you take dates to the movies and not to the ****ing library.

Jesus do I hate stupid ****ing people.
