requests from a number of shareholders, page-12

RB,

I sent Tarantino an email, as you suggested, and he said that he thought your comments were racist and disgraceful and should be moderated. He also said, if you thought Django Unchained was racist against African-Americans, then you missed the point of the movie.

He reminded me about what he'd said previously on the subject of the N-word; "Well, you know if you’re going to make a movie about slavery and are taking a 21st-century viewer and putting them in that time period, you're going to hear some things that are going to be ugly, and you’re going see some things that are going be ugly," Tarantino explained. "That’s just part and parcel of dealing truthfully with this story, with this environment, with this land." He failed to understand how your application of the word had any such validity or raison d'etre.

In further correspondence, I did mention that you were factually-challenged and when I explained your position on NuSep, he said "well that explains a lot".

He did not indicate whether he was going to participate in the SPP but, I guess as an American, he's excluded anyway.
