Quick Hits: Django Unchained #2 (Vertigo)

I still haven't seen the movie, but it's now available on home video release, so maybe I'm that much closer (kind of bummed it didn't hit the local dollar theater, unless that still happens).  Very much enjoying reading the comic, though.  If Tarantino filmed scenes about the Sigfried story, that would be another reason to savor the film, because it would represent another filmmaking evolution for him, which the period nature of both Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds have already indicated.  When a director like Ridley Scott jumps all around time, it becomes expected.  You learn how their basic storytelling is translated and becomes more resonant, but it's not so surprising.  If and when Tarantino decides to set an entire movie in the distant past, that will be immediately notable.  So that's what I take away from this issue.

  1. It's still in my local megaplex, as are most of the Oscar contenders. They're probably still getting a little bump from that.
