  1. Obviously hasn’t seen him in Twin Peaks: The Return.  

  2. Ok. I’ve figured it out, Tarantino’s last movie just needs to be with actors he doesn’t think are any good

  5. I’m with Matthew Lillard in this one. I bet he hasn’t seen him in Scooby Doo!!

  6. Has anyone checked Taratino for hip displayssia? He seems grumpier than normal.

  7. who cares if hes not a top actor – i like him as actor & person specially being so honest

  8. Has Quentin Tarantino seen Quentin Tarantino’s acting?

  9. Lillard’s biggest problem is listening to anything Tarantino has to say. Quentin is starting to remind me of a crackhead shouting at people in the street.

  10. Not a damn thing wrong with Matthew Lilard’s acting. Those who can, do. Those who can’t are critics.

  11. Tarantino is an amazing filmmaker but also happens to have some of the dumbest opinions.

  12. Matthew Lillard never drank tequila off Linda Cardellini’s bare foot for a role that he himself scripted for the sole (pun intended) purpose of drinking liquor off of a sexy woman’s foot.

    So Lillard gets points for that! But Twin Peaks – god-fucking-DAMN some of the most indelible moments of The Return, in my memory and on rewatch, belong to him. Fuck off, Quentin. Love, a huge fan

  13. I’ve always like Matthew, Scream he was goofy but I think that was the point of the character. He was amazing in SLC Punk. Personally, I wish he would get more work.

  14. Tarantino’s just grumpy because he’s turning into the painting from Ghostbusters 2

  15. Matthew Lillard kicked all sorts of ass in ’13 Ghosts’

  16. I enjoy Tarantino’s movies, but he comes across as the obnoxious film snob who works at a video rental shop and thinks that he has superior taste to all the unwashed masses. Typically, it’s more common from younger people and goes away as they mature, but I feel like he is getting worse as he ages.

    I would watch his movies, but I doubt he would be fun to hang out with.

  17. He’s really damn good in Bosch

    Only a handful of episodes but really damn good.

    And I love SLC Punk

    Tarantino is an asshole. He makes great movies but he’s an asshole always has been.

  19. He was good enough for David Lynch.

    Tarantino was wrong about Twin Peaks and he was wrong about this too.

    He’s not God.

    I say this as a massive fan and purchaser of all that he outputs.

    He has some shit takes.

    Like feet? That’s what you crank it to? Feet?

  20. All u gotta do is talk shit about his creepy foot fetish and he’ll shut up

  21. If the last few weeks have taught us anything, it’s that Tarantino apparently has bizarre taste

  22. In the article they say he mentions 3 actors he doesn’t like… I think its kinda funny but sad how theres been an enormous outpouring of respect for Dano and Lillard but not a mention of Owen Wilson 😅 poor guy even his boy Ben Stiller went on Twitter supporting Paul but didnt mention Owen

  23. I actually rewatched Hackers last night. Matthew Lillard is just so fun to watch, whatever he’s in.

  24. “*In a 2003 Howard Stern interview, Tarantino defended the director Roman Polanski against charges that Polanski had raped then-13-year-old Samantha Geimer in 1977. He said that Polanski’s actions were “not rape” and Geimer “…wanted to have it”. The interview resurfaced in 2018 and drew criticism, including from Geimer, who stated in an interview, “He was wrong. I bet he knows it… I hope he doesn’t make an ass of himself and keep talking that way.” Within days of the interview resurfacing, Tarantino issued an apology, stating “Fifteen years later, I realize how wrong I was… I incorrectly played devil’s advocate in the debate for the sake of being provocative.”*

    He’s still trying to be edgy and relevant, but he’s letting his kinks get in the way by constantly putting his own foot in his mouth

  25. Tarantino dissed Owen Wilson, Paul Dano, and Matthew Lillard in the same interview where he praised Woody Allen.

    Eww.

  26. Tarantino lately has just convinced me more than ever that he’s an insufferable, pompous, self righteous, piece of shit of a human. I’ve come to *loathe* him as a human being. Makes good movies but is a gigantic fuck nugget.

  27. Man I used to love Tarantino as a child. He needs to get off his own supply

  28. Remember The Descendants, starring George Clooney and Lillard and directed by the great Alexander Payne? A wonderful, funny and moving movie that won an Oscar for Screenplay.

    Wonder if Tarantino watched it. Wouldn’t surprise me if he hadn’t.

  29. I met Matthew at a DND convention years ago, and he was one of the single kindest human beings I have ever met, he is also a phenomenal DND player, so fun to watch. QT on the other hand is just an angry foot fetishist.
