Will Smith to star in Tarantinos next "Django Unchained" ?

Why is it that most of QT's movies throw around the "N" word like it's the thing to do?

Hes been criticized a lot for that. Personally I hate the word, but I think he tries to be true to the world and characters he's in. For instance, if his movie is dealing with gangsters and thugs, he throws it in.

I don't remember it much if at all in Kill Bill, Death Proof and Inglorious Basterds?

Indeed. Pulp Fiction and Reservoir Dogs was chock full of n-bombs. Made me a little uncomfortable, they were so blatant and frequent.

Exactly. In RD, the gangsters just used the word over and over, I guess to illustrate their blatant and over the top racism. In PF, everyone white and black used the word. The scene with Terantino where he talks about Dead N***** Storage seemed unbelievable to me.

...his wife in the scene was black too. Just Tarantino being daring and cutting edge...

As a black man, I laughed my ass off at that line. It didn't even bother me until I rewatched RD and was like "wait, does he have a problem with black people or is he just trying to be edgy?'

I'm betting edgy, and shocking etc. Look at me, I'm a white guy who's unafraid of saying the N-word, and I have plenty of black friends!

It's fine in context, just like all harsh language, but it did seem to go too far in some of his movies.

I think he's trying to be authentic. There's alot of use of the N words among "gangster" types. Black or White.

Yea, "most" was too strong of a word. I just watched Reservoir Dogs again last night and it had me thinking about his use of the word.
