new interview where he says some interesting things. i get what he says about Selma. it was a good film, but part of it did feel like a TV movie. i love Ava though and she out here doing dope things and i hope she keeps shining. but Selma to me wasnt on 12 Years A Slave level as far as a movie tackiling racism is concerned, which was just undeniable to me.
Quentin Tarantino clarifies Selma comment from T magazine interview | EW.com
“I’m writing you to pass on that the quote from the NY Times piece about Selma is wrong. I never sawSelma,” he wrote. “If you look at the article, it was Bret who was talking about Selma, not me. I did say the line ‘it deserved a Emmy,’ but when I said it, it was more like a question.
“Which basically meant, ‘it’s like a TV movie?’ Which Bret and myself being from the same TV generation, was not only understood, but there was no slam intended,” he continued. “Both Bret and myself come from the seventies and eighties when there were a lot of historically based TV movies: the King mini-series written by Abby Mann staring Paul Winfield; Crisis at Central High with Joanne Woodward. AndJudge Horton and the Scottsboro Boys. These were great TV movies. I’d be honored to be placed next to those films. However, I haven’t seen it. Does it look like a seventies TV movie? Yes. Does it play like one, I don’t know, I haven’t seen it.”
the original quote does have him saying "she did a good job though” so he must have seen it no?

cracker should shut his mouth on everything black, foreal.
cause i honestly didnt think it was oscar level. or at least what the oscars aspire to be. a film like 12 years a slave was just undeniable and
another lead other than chitewel could have made that flick better and more successful. While serviceable ejifor was born to co star/play supporting. And one of the main problems I had was the struggle faces he displayed as if to say "pity me". John Amos and djimon honsou (who is a weak actor mind you) never had to do that you just felt it because the story and performance stood for itself nothing felt fabricated and forced. Dude was outshone by that slave that ran to his owner for what little screen time he had and lypita. Another thing was the direction, mcqueen did nothing special, it felt very basic and mechanical. And the ending seemed hastily written.
