quintin tarantino, nominated -- i hear you brother -- rock star.or and screen play. >> okay, so that was on stage, but the real story. that happened backstage. entertainment correspondent michelle turner is in los angeles. guess who was backstage for those controversial comments, none other than michelle turner. >> always have some scandal for you, carol. >> definitely. now this happened in the press room after writer and director quinton tarantino won for best screen play. the movie has come under -- tarantino was very candid in his response to why he uses profanity so much in that movie. >> if somebody's out there actually saying it when it comes to the word [ bleep ] that the fact that i was using it in the movie more than it was used back in the antebellum south in mississippi in 1858, then they feel free to make that case. but no one's actually making that case. >> now i'm not sure if you could hear, but there was an audible gas gasp in the press room after that. don cheatolole came backstage a here's the first thing he said to reporters. >> p

quentin tarantino being the one that is putting the n-word in everybody's mouth. different way that belies this issue. i don't think the problem is the word necessarily but that quentin tarantino who is writing the screen play uses it so much. >> john: except in the "kill bill" films it has been used liberally. tricia? >> this historical accuracy in this film is hogwash and irrelevant. there is no accurate use of history around african-american women in this film, but it never comes out. we're so busy obsessively worried about the n word. keri washington's character makes no sense. you had people fighting, shooting killing and a beloved of the novel of a woman who slit the throat of her own baby rather than return her to slavery. this is what black women were doing. yet, what do we get? we get keri washington with a quivererring lip serious sexual violence but never talked directly about in this film. if we're going to talk about authenticity then gender is where we need to pay more attention. >> john: i agree with you "beloved" is one of the underrated films in y

quentin tarantino is a great filmmaker and great artist. he makes us think. he makes us laugh.ng great in great. with my lineage being linked to it i loved the element of fantasy. leonardo dicaprio is one of my favorite characters, the candy land and the way that the slaves were dressed. there was this element of it not even being real because it was so fantasticcal. but the slave never wins. and django is a film that people should see. >> cenk: he flipped it upside down like inglorious bastards it was great. lauren, from jack and jill, thanks. spike is wrong. fox news is wrong. it's a great movie. >>> when we come back, chris christie, republicans attacking one another. that's great. but there is an important point we need to make about conservatism versus progressism. >> i'm saying anyone in new york and new jersey who contributes one penny to the rich, chewy caramel rolled up in smooth milk chocolate. don't forget about that payroll meeting. rolo.get your smooth on. also in minis. is. >> cenk: all right. now the presence not voting just about the fiscal cliff at the end of t

quinten tarantino's film "django unchained."at down with two of the films stars, leonardo dicaprio and jamie foxx, along with the director, quentin tarantino. it's an epic, revenge fantasy. >> i like the way you die, boy. >> romantic westerns. one critic said recently, there's something for everyone to hate in this film. >> i don't think you do a film like this with quentin tarantino and not expect that. that's what you sign up for. >> i don't think anybody is going out there saying we used the word more excessively than it was used in 1858 in mississippi. >> reporter: leonardo plays the despicable calvin candee. >> we got us a fight going on. it's a good bit of fun. >> reporter: a plantation owner and all-around bad guy, who uses the "n" word repeatedly. >> i have to say, the first day on set was incredibly difficult for me. >> it's supposed to be tough. you're not supposed to feel like that's normal in 2012, 2013. >> reporter: and then there's the violence. does the director think the violence he puts on the screen makes real

i like quentin tarantino. with his right to say i don't want to talk about it, not because they confuse our last name all the time. he can make whatever movie they want. if he doesn't want to answer questions who cares. it's his right. talk about his movie. let him guide the interview. the other celebrities that make the movies and direct movies, write and star in movies that say i can't believe we have this violence. that is what i get angry about, the hypocrisy. >> bob: first, he has been interviewed so many times because the movie is out. at a certain point you get tired of listening to reporters ask question. he could have acted better about it. my guess is that remember when they had the big furor how are you going to rate movies? jack lenny head of the ncaa came up with a rating system that caused furor about first amendment rights. i think theremite be something now to do with rating movies, a more detail rating. let's not prejudge what biden will say or not say. the only thing came out is the national

. >> quentin tarantino argues that he merely reflects what is happening in real life. it is chicken and the egg, and this stuff is going on. >> but the movies can influence things in another direction, as well. because people put so much power into that visual, that -- you know, the places that they're taken to when they go to a film. so i think that it can have a positive impact or a negative one. i don't know, i wish i had a solution and i know you feel the same way. >> i feel very frustrated like a lot of people do, that you can't even have a debate. we're having a civilized conversation about it. a lot of people just can't do it. they want to get so intensely enrane enraged about the second amendment. they don't see what i see, which is why would anyone want to use this military-style weapon. >> fighting a war. >> in platoon, i get it. the other big story of the week, lance armstrong, what is your view of him? >> i met him once at a party and assumed he was in a bad mood, because he was not the most friendly guy in the world. but i'm sure some people have said that

but tarantino does not shy away from controversy. >>> children, teachers and staff take up a familiarcene this morning, they are going to school. >> parents are being reassured that the new setting is the safest school in the entire country. abc's diana perez has more on this. good morning, diana. >> reporter: rob and paula, it's been less than three weeks since the mac kerr at sandy hook elementary school in newtown, connecticut. it will be a long time before things return to normal for the children of sandy hook elementary. but in an effort to bring them one step closer, they saw their teachers again wednesday and walked through what will be their new school. >> children are coming up, so excited to see their teachers. the students coming in completes the circle. that's what is missing right now is getting our students back. >> reporter: class resumes today at a retro fitted middle scoot in monroe, connecticut. the school held an open house for students and parents to take a look around. it's the first time they'll be back in school since the december 14 massacre. for weeks, teacher

he liked the film but felt tarantino should have toned it down.rt of america's history and still an open wound. a wound that has a scab that is healing. >> i thought it was nice. you have never seen a film like that in that era of time portrayed that way. when you are a trail blazer, you can expect extra criticism. >> you want it to be criticized, critiqued. people talking about it. >> reporter: now more people are talking about it. >> a slap in the face to our ancestors. >> reporter: community organizers in los angeles called for a boycott against the action figures. >> this is highly offensive. we demand the dolls be pulled immediately. >> calm down. no offense. >> they tell cnn in light of the reaction to the django unchained figures, we are removing them from distribution. they were meant to be collectibles to people 17 years and older, which is the audience for the film. as the audience grows, so will the debate in a country most agree it's good to be free to disagree. >> of course even despite the controversy, "django unchained" is nominated

tarantino responded in an interview he did with harvard professor louis gates.e said, "personally i find the criticism ridiculous because it would be one thing if people were out there saying i you use it much more excessively in the movie than it was used in mississippi in 1850. nobody is saying that. if you're saying that, you're simply saying i should be lying, i should be watering it down, i should be make it more easy to digest. no. i don't want it to be easy to digest. i want it to be a big gigantic boulder, a jagged pill and you have no water." jamie foxx leads an all-star cast playing django, a freed slave turned bounty hunter. they team up to kill the murdering, thieving brothers and then to free django's wife held at a mississippi plantation owned by leonardo dicaprio's character, and the plantation is called candyland. does it sound insane? well, it is. it's quentin tarantino. but he does a masterful job of depicting the deplorable history of slavery. foxx recently did a joke in an opening monologue on "snl" about how it was great to kill all the whit

what do you tell quentin tarantino if you want the movie to be less violent?rders? how do you legislate that. we're talking about parenting which i think we all agree keep your kids away from that stuff as best you can. what do you do from a legislative point of view? >> as far as video games go, willie, i think there are a lot of different ways. you can change the ratings system. as far as quentin tarantino goes, i think you need to bring people like harvey weinstein around the table, other leaders in hollywood around the table and just say, this is no longer socially acceptable. it is no more socially acceptable after newtown for you to give quentin tarantino money, to make movies that glorify slaughter, murder, rage than it would be, harvey, for you to give somebody millions of dollars to make a cheap porn movie. >> but joe -- >> and the vice president did bring, you know, the mpaa and others around the table as he's been going through this process. it will be interesting to see what kinds of proposals are announced today because the white house has said th
