If you need offending then 'Hateful' is exactly . . . .

what you need. A pop to the cheeks of every black, white, and brown person in America. How did QT leave out our yellow people?

NOT SO MUCH A SPOILER:

This modern film holds the absolute record for using Ni**g*r in dialogue. There was so much self-conscious snickering going on in the theater it was funny. Then Sam Jackson fights back with his white fellatio scenario and the other side of the house started laughing. Not to be left out were the digs on Mexicans but to a much lesser degree. True, the way all the racial slander flew around was in a "theatrical sense" which make it semi-acceptable and showed QT will stop at nothing to make fun and shock everyone in the audience. The tasteless side of QT is that he doesn't know when to stop the gag and let's it go one endlessly.

I enjoyed Kurt Russel, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Goggins the most. Even as entertaining as Sam Jackson is he should be used in small roles and not the central axis of a feature. He is just too much.

QT's main fault, IMO, is that he thinks he's a great dialog writer. Overboard here. (I FELL ASLEEP FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES.) 'Basterds' was one thing but the extended, endless dialog here wasn't so amusing.

I think QT bats 50/50 like a lot of pop directors. This is okay if you are well rested and ready to be offended both aurally and visually. I'm sure most rabid QT fans love his extremism and it is certainly on parade here.

No bladder buster allowed.
