After Stephen informed Monsieur Candie of the deception both their pistols were taken from their clearly visible belt holsters.

>And are you really confused that Django would call Stephen “the lowest of the low,” for having an important role on a brutal slaving plantation?

Yes, the fact that he's important means he isn't low at all! He seems to be running the whole house like a modern day butler or housekeeper would with a team of servants.

I just find it funny and cool subverting of expectations when the badass, gunslinger with experience in killing natives gets taken out first and only end up killing one of the Troglodytes

Thank you. It did seem frightfully authentic. I only wonder if the current project Andrews (VIC premier) conceived behind closed doors will be later basis for a spy thriller or a horror movie.

Yes, maybe, but there is less incentive for reality tv than when a certain quota of hours was specified.

I’m not sure I’d agree many of them handle their budgets well, although they certainly have bigger ones, and I’ve seen plenty of weak performances in their catalogues, but I think we’re just going to have to politely accept we see this differently.

And also gave us the greatest Honest Trailers episode ever:

"Why only Mac and Me has an 8 minute long dance sequence in a McDonalds. Your hero is in a wheelchair, why would you do this!"

I am sure you are correct. The only other explanation I can think of runs contrary to what I think his character is - that he drugged them.

Mucking with food like that is below him. To him food is sacred. Besides, if he had drugged them we would have to talk about the taste of the drugs when he is encouraging people to savor the food.

So short of another idea, yeah, you got it.

Ya I’m starting to get that feeling as well

It was automatically removed so I thought that might be the problem, I'll change it now and hope it won't get deleted.

I think they’re repulsive, and a lot of the time that’s what it’s supposed to make you feel; revulsion. Given how little there is of it, and that it rarely lingers, it didn’t feel gratuitous to me. But to each their own.

I'm autistic, reading between the lines is really difficult for me.

Saving Humanity's Future (Interstellar)

BEING JOHN MALKOVICH would be called BEING JOHN MALKOVICH

I haven’t read any of his books, so I can’t comment on that.

I can help out with some, but you’re probably gonna have to just rewatch the film, because it does look like you weren’t really paying attention to who these characters are.

But I’ll help out with a couple.

Schultz shot Candie because he absolutely detested every single thing that Candie stood for and he could not stand to A) be beaten by him or B) allow him to continue embodying everything that he views as wrong with the world. Probably a little more Column A than B. Candie demanding a handshake was not only rubbing in the fact that he got the better of Schulz, but also, in its way, demanding that Schulz seemingly approve of Candie and treat him with respect.

Why were they armed? I don’t remember if Schulz was conspicuously armed. Django probably would not have given up his gun.

As for Stephen, you’ve probably gotta watch it again, if you didn’t figure him out. It’s pretty straightforward and integral to the film.

And are you really confused that Django would call Stephen “the lowest of the low,” for having an important role on a brutal slaving plantation?

Honestly it's almost like he didn't watch the movie. A lot of that is explained or even can be gleamed by context.

This guy makes cinemasins look like Roger Ebert
