I dunno, all the slurs and gratuitous feet shots get old. Yea I enjoy some of his movies, but scenes like his "dead [slur] storage" bit in Pulp Fiction get to be really grating.
It was cathartic to see him get immediately blown to pieces in Django Unchained, and seeing a theater full of Nazis getting machinegunned will always hold a special place in my heart
I don’t disagree, but in pulp fiction the use of these slurs lends to a pretty accurate portrayal of criminal underworld, and people generally, being very casually racist/homophobic in LA/Long Beach in the late 80s and early 90s. I grew up in that area in that time, and it felt pretty spot on in that movie.
