My feed has been filled with rpg geeks shitting on him. I do not know why. I assume he said something nasty, or did something worse than his usual disgusting foot fetish.
Why do I see Tarantino drama constantly? What triggered it?
He said on a podcast recently that Matthew Lillard was one of his least favorite actors.
Matthew Lillard Reacts To Quentin Tarantino’s “Humbling” Criticism Of His Acting: “It Hurts”
He also took some totally unnecessary shots at Paul Dano, saying he was the worst actor in the SAG. That’s a bizarrely personal attack out of nowhere on a guy you never worked with.
That’s crazy because Paul Dano is a good actor
So is Matthew Lillard. The whole thing feels oddly personal. Like if he had said “I didn’t like Dano in There Will Be Blood” you could understand that’s just a professional opinion. Maybe he thought someone else could have done better. But making it insulting undercuts his credibility as an impartial critic.
He’s a solid character actor, but he really only plays the weird guy, which he does well.
Frankly, I loathe the professional unwillingness to criticize anyone else. Some people frankly suck at acting, and they shouldn’t have to be Wiseau bad before anyone says something.
Criticism is fine, when you’re talking about someone’s work and how to improve it. Calling someone “weak” and “the worst actor in the SAG” is deeply personal and insulting.
Revealing a personal bias in a professional setting belies unprofessional attitudes and prejudices. Tarantino isn’t a critic, he’s a filmmaker and an influential voice in the industry. Taking pot shots at a couple of B-list character actors is hurtful on a personal level, and wantonly destructive on a professional level. The power dynamic between producers and actors is massively unbalanced. It would be like the CEO where you work talking shit on LinkedIn about project managers at a rival company. If he’s saying this publicly, what is he saying behind the scenes? Is he trashing actors to casting directors to influence their careers?
He has every right to say “I don’t want these people in my movies.” It would also be professional to say “I did not like this specific performance for these specific reasons.” It’s extremely unprofessional to say “I hate these people because of who they are and anyone working with them is on my shit-list.”

Well Jerkface, because I have grown to dislike the constant corporate euphemism born of utter terror of controversy.
On the other hand, we have assholes like Elon
I am of the opinion there’s a happy medium between tweets sent by the HR department and Elon’s white supremacy XD

He’s not, don’t put words in my mouth please. If you don’t understand why speaking in something other than bland corpospeak might be appealing, I don’t kn̈ow what to tell you.
Agreed. I’m not a fan of Will Ferrel’s acting, but I have nothing against him as a person. Would it be so wrong for me to say I do not enjoy his movies or his comedy, but I’d be willing to speak to the man and maybe enjoy a chat over coffee or something? He’s probably a decent person. Maybe he’s not. If I met him, I’d only treat him with respect until he taught me otherwise. Still don’t care for his movies.
Same with Adam Sandler, but I’ve seen him actually act. Reign Over Me was the first one I saw him act well in. “Men, Women & Children” is another one.
He’s got too much money and he’s bored. He’s not working any more and no one cares about his stupid hot takes. Dude needs to work in a soup kitchen or food bank. He needs to do something useful.
He’s not working anymore? Could’ve sworn I saw him filming in Santa Monica yesterday. He had the whole California Incline blocked off for 5 hours. I even caught a snippet of the action on my smartphone camera.
The only thing I’m aware of is him publicly slating a could of actors. He was very critical of Paul Dano from There Will Be Blood (which is a bit weird because that movie has been out for a long time). He also publicly slated Matthew Lillard, who seems like a genuinely nice guy and has a lot of fans. I think those (especially the criticism of Lillard) pissed a lot of people off.
Daniel Day-Lewis overacted enough in that movie that it evened out.
I think it’s because he’s a Zionist and so is his wife
But it’s 2025, everyone is either a Zionist or an Anti-Semite.

Everyone’s mentioned feet but not the gratuitous n-bombs he writes for himself to say?
People do talk like that every day. Since he was a teen, his mother exclusively dated black men and he cites a few of them as role models in his last book.
Celebrities drum up drama about themselves to try to stay relevant when they shill whatever product they work on. He was talking shit about a couple actors in an interview or whatever and people defended the other person which just proliferated the fake drama further, he’s probably got something coming out in 2026.
Cuz he is a weak human.
