      the funny thing about every single "you couldn't make *this* movie" today person is that they never seem to understand what actually made the movie in question work

      The Pulp Fiction argument is clarifying. I mean it's a great movie with weak spots and its weird to be hung up on championing the worst scene with the worst performance.

          Is that what's he doing though? I mean, he probably should have stopped talking after his first tweet. Tom falls apart after follow up questions.

          Yeah, he backed himself into a corner, to be sure. But he sure did seem fixated on the racist epithets being crucial to the film's integrity

          Oh god. It's the Tarantino "dead [redacted] storage" scene isn't it? They're trying to act like that's actually a good scene instead of embarrassingly cringily terrible in the wake of Rogan, aren't they?

          As many (including I think jbouie) pointed out, not much anger about when Eric Stoltz says it, largely because it actually makes sense in that scene and Stoltz is a talented enough actor to make it seem believable.

          This is exactly what I was looking to say. And not just the scene, it's really that one line that sticks out like a bad oyster. You could easily edit that out and the movie would be fine. You'd want a better actor, though.

          Now, if you really want to have an interesting argument about the use of the N-word in an old movie, Blazing Saddles was released 48 years ago today.
