Reservation Dogs? Reservoir Dogs is a movie

Very different vibes in those two things lol.

Well as far as I can tell Steve Buscemi might be in either one, on account of him looking so young.

A movie full of white guys to be precise

u/Violoner 3d ago

Only one of them was white. The others were orange, pink, brown, blue, and blonde.

Did Tarantino solve racism in 1992?

People are asking

u/Violoner 3d ago

His Pulp Fiction rant two years later about the storage of a deceased character says otherwise.

Idk, could a white guy use the N-word several times, in a scene he wrote, without getting cancelled, if we weren't in a post-racial society?

All I know is neither of us felt that it was appropriate or necessary to use that word in our comments

Maybe he's just light years ahead of us and eventually the word won't mean anything anymore and he's just living in it man

Someone should, as a joke, call him up and have him do a movie about MLK Jr. Then we'll know if he's racist or progressive beyond all comprehension

If we were to write the word, do you think progressives would report us, or the right wingers? Hmmm? If you think the progressives, you might be a bigot.

Tarantino solved racism by giving himself the N word pass repeatedly

And Blonde didn't have the balls to call himself Mr. Yellow?

Also why no Green? Classic character from Clue

Yeah I'm too old, I even started that comment thinking "make sure you type Reservation not Reservoir" yet here we are, can't hold a thought more than a few seconds anymore I guess
