collectible tie-ins made for each of his films, according to the Associated Press. But recent uproar over Tarantino’s Django Unchained toys shows that the basics don’t always work.The Django edition of those toys may have been intended somewhat ironically—yes, Django has action-movie qualities, but the bloody take on slavery is no Transformers—but if the people behind the toys had thought things through a little more, the irony might have taken on another level: it’s not hard to see why somebody might be offended that eight-inch versions of the movie’s enslaved characters are available for purchase for $39.99. (Non-slave characters are also available as action figures.) Those offended people included Rev. Al Sharpton, who called for a boycott of the set of character dolls, according to the New York Daily News.(MORE: Quentin Unchained: Watch Tarantino’s ‘I’m Shutting Your Butt Down’ Rant on British TV)So, on Jan. 18, The Weinstein Company, the studio behind the film,[url=http://www.dtvtk3.com/]jimmy choo shoes sale[/url], changed course and told the public that the toys would no longer be distributed. “In light of the reaction to the Django Unchained action figures we are removing them from distribution. We have tremendous respect for the audience and it was never our intent to offend anyone,” said the studio in a statement, according to Deadline.The move, unsurprisingly, has only served to boost the value of the now-rare items. As of the afternoon of Jan. 22, a collectible 10-piece set of the figures was available on eBay with an asking price of $8,000,[url=http://www.dtvtk3.com/]jimmy choo sale[/url], which is actually a pretty good deal. The same set was available on Amazon.com for $19,999.99—a whopping 500 times more than the MSRP, leading to a different brand of outrage. Quips one collector: ”I’m offended…by the PRICE.”(MORE: Richard Corliss reviews Django Unchained)[i]Dog President[/i]: The Golden Globes’ Best Movie You’ve Never Heard OfPaul Drinkwater / NBC / Reuters Hosts Tina Fey and Amy Poehler on stage at the 70th annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills on Jan. 13, 2013.EmailPrintShareFacebookTwitterTumblrLinkedInStumbleUponRedditDiggMixxDeliciousGoogle+Comment Follow @timenewsfeedEvery awards ceremony features its fair share of surprise wins – but rarely is there a surprise nominee. Dog President garnered two Golden Globe nominations Sunday night, which we think is probably a record for a totally made-up film.(MORE: Fey and Poehler Make Hosting the Globes Look Easy)Early in the evening, presenters Don Cheadle and Eva Longoria took the stage to hand out the award for Best Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie, rattling off the names of the nominees, including Hollywood luminaries like Sigourney Weaver,http://www.dtvtk3.com/, Nicole Kidman and Julianne Moore.But an uproar of laughter gripped the Beverly Hilton Hotel when Longoria wryly announced the category’s sixth nominee, Darcy St. Budge. Wait – who? Wearing a frumpy turquoise sweater and smiling more crookedly than Honey Boo Boo’s second cousin, St. Budge – who looked suspiciously like host Amy Poehler – was introduced as a “psychic who solves her own murder.”“She can’t win, can she?” Asked Cheadle,[url=http://www.dtvtk3.com/]jimmy choo outlet[/url], who then prompted a momentary collective gasp when he shouted “Dar—,“ before announcing the real winner: Julianne Moore for Game Change.Dog President‘s other star, Damien Francisco, popped up among the nominees for Best Actor in a Miniseries or TV Movie, for his role as a volleyball player battling restless-leg syndrome. This time, it was Fey, in a bad fake mustache and Johnny Depp-style mop of hair. But she, too, wasn’t fooling anyone. (And really, was there any hope for Francisco against such heavyweights as Woody Harrelson and Kevin Costner?)So sadly, Dog President got shut out at the Golden Globes — and the connection between psychics, volleyball and canine presidents remains frustratingly unexplained.  We remain as intrigued as ever by Dog President, and we certainly hope that somewhere, screenwriters are already moving on a script.
