Gary Oldman As Drexl Spivey
Jan 24th
In an article primarily about Gary Oldman’s new movie Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, they also list 10 previous great roles Oldman has had – including Drexl Spivey in True Romance.
The name alone will delight cineastes with a fondness for quirky Quentin Tarantino characters, one of the best being Oldman’s cacophonous white-boy pimp from Tarantino’s first screenplay. With a ludicrous set of dreadlocks, gold fronts and a stream of gangsterspeak, Oldman devours everything in sight in just seven minutes of screen time.
Django Unchained Poster Design
Jan 21st
We are several months away from their being any official Django Unchained posters revealed, but some fans are thinking ahead. They have created an online petition to have Dude Designs create the Django Unchained Poster. Dude Designs is perhaps best known for the Hobo With A Shotgun poster design.
The Dude Design posters I’ve seen are all very good, but they are stylized in a way that I don’t think would work great for the wide audience Django Unchained is seeking. They could have done a hell of a job with the Death Proof poster though, and I would like to see one of the alternate Django Unchained posters done in the Dude Designs style.

Django Unchained Script Thoughts, Part 1
Jan 19th
Had it for months, but just started reading the Django Unchained script this week. I’m only about 30 minutes into it, but here are some early thoughts:
Christoph Waltz is going to win another Oscar for this role. The writing is witty and fits him perfectly.
The movie starts quickly, with 2 great sequences right off the bat.
The dialog is funny. Not laugh out loud funny, but the kind of funny where you find yourself smiling thru the whole thing. I’d call it classic Tarantino, but that understates its cleverness.
