"Django" Looks like it will give us another high quality "Ebony and Ivory" Film Pairing.


named 'jango' AND a bounty hunter? has george lucas been notified?
This trailer hit the internet about a week ago, and it looks flippin awesome. i thought tarantino's last movie, inglorious basterds, was his best one since pulp fiction... so i am pretty fired up to see his take on what looks to be a shoot'em up western (or 'southern', i guess).

starring jaime foxx and hans landa... with leo dicaprio as the villain... very cool (from the ultra reliable wiki, tarantino wanted leo to play hans landa in 'basterds' , but a scheduling conflict prevented it... and thank god. leo probably woudl have been good - but chris walz, as his oscar can attest, completely crushed the role of hans landa - and now we can add him to the list of 'go -to's' in tarantino's actor stable. a huge win)


but after viewing the trailer, i think the foxx/walz teaming had serious potential to rank very high on the "ebony & ivory" tandem list.  lets look at some of the other great ones, in no particular order:




say a prayer for duncan... wherever he is
Robin of Locksley & Azeem...
these guys stuck together through thick and thin...until azeem hucked his ali baba sword into crazy lady and paid off his life debt.

unrelated quote:
"you changed you name too latrine?"

"it used to be 'shithouse'"

"that's a good change."
i was always baffled by the pull chain door bell at terry's place


Terry Mann & Ray Kinsella.

one guy said his finger was a gun, the other guy got to go to heaven and write a book about it.. i think... what ever happened to terry mann?




you're not grumbling enough, nolte. grumble LOUDER!
Reggie Hammond & Jack Cates
one guy hates black people and the other hates rednecks.. together hilarity ensues, as well as bullet wounds....

"unprintable racial slur from nolte"








can you get me one of those seat cushions with a hole in the middle
Ellis Redding & Andy Dufrense
 azeem goes to jail for killing the old lady, meets andy. azeem now goes by red, and is a man who can get things. he gets andy a mini pick ax, but not any bodyguards as andy gets repeatedly raped. he then meets up with andy in mexico to enjoy all the money andy stole from jail.

"dear red, thanks for not stepping in as the sisters ran train on me. here's a black rock and some cash... see you in mexico. your friend, andy"

cold! cold! cold!
 Rocky Balboa & Apollo Creed

lets just move on
forrest, one day i'm gonna bbq up some shrimp in Noble's Holler
  








Forrest Gump & Bubba Blue
two guys meet in boot camp... one guy has an awesome idea. he dies, other guy steals idea and makes bazillions. pays off his guilt with a huge check to dead guys mom.








you run like hays, but you suck at hoops
Sidney Dean & Billy Hoyle
white guy has a gambling problem and can't jump... the other guy is black.... and also can't jump....
and rosie perez is involved....










Monty Brewster & Spike Nolan
black guy inherits 30 mil, white guy mooches off of him.... both guys stink at baseball.

Spike:  I don't think it's racial you know, because I'm fat and white, and your skinny and black.... hey, i think thats boggs from shawshank?"


Boggs: "which one of you want to take what i'm gonna give you?"

Monty: "None of the above!!!"


justin long... not nearly as cool as this trio
John McClain & a series of increasingly angry black guys

one guy is white, and always getting into trouble... the other guy's black and helpin that crazy honkey out.

the bad guys in "vengence" must have known mcclains past, becuase when he had to wear that racial sign in the beginning, i was like "its not true! carl winslow is his buddy! and that white haired black guy too!"

sam jackson took the role to a whole nother level. they really shoudl have zeus return in the next die hard.



"that dolphin ring you bough was so gay, steve"
 Steven Hiller & David Levinson

One guy loves to smoke stogies, the other guy loved to ride a bike and talk in staggered vocal patters... the aliens killed goldblums raspy voiced gay buddy, and will smiths crooner/pilot buddy.

together they fly to an alien ship and rickroll it into submission.

the sequel should have a super advance race of Na'avi attacking earth...  i really want to root against them.








my shootin hand is like rick ankiels pitching hand
 Sheriff Bart & The Waco Kid
white guy gets drunk, black guy 'whips this out'

taggert recruits boggs to do up an old number 6 on andy dufrense.









we've successfully made oranges part of the plot! you owe me $1
Billy Ray Valentine &Louis Winthorpe III

rich white guy and poor black guy trade places......

hilarity and a topless jaime lee curtis ensue.

they do stock market stuff with oranges.

white guy looks good, black guy feels good.

i think we know vince would definitely give a guy a foot massage.
Jules Winnfield & Vincent Vega

one guy is a car in the red, the other guy is a mushroom cloud layin muthafucka.

they kill people

one guy walks the earth, one guy makes pop tarts and get killed.

out of sequence filming makes them both be alive at the end.


Riggs & Murtaugh

some of the finest example of blackface and blackvoice.









that was exhausting...  i am sure i forgot some... apologies to axl foley and billy rosewood... agent K and J.... and i'm sure a few more.

at any rate, i think django unchained is a can;t miss... unless george lucas somehow got his hands on it.

slave turned bounty hunter... with a jet pack
