What's going on with Quentin Tarantino?
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?
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.
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 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.
I get the feeling he’s always been a bit of an asshole. This is just the latest example. He's been talking shit on peers for 30 years.
He defended Roman Polanski after Polanski taped a child by saying the girl “wanted it”.
Wasn't he also a defender of Weinstein as well?
I read that he confronted Weinstein after his girlfriend told him of something Weinstein did to her but accepted his apology. Supposedly Weinstein was also banned from being around Uma Thurman on his set.
Idk man. He choked multiple actresses on set. He says he had their permission but it sounds shady.
I might be biased though because I just watched the episode of Bojack Horseman where he chokes his co-star on set. I watched it a few days ago so that’s fresh in my mind.
I kinda like his movies, but QT kinda seems like the kind of dude who feels the need mansplain “real cinema” to women because they “just don’t get it.” I bet we all know someone like that.
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.
I agree the Dano and Lillard comments are probably a part of it… but also the “Fortnite Kill Bill” shit definitely didn’t help. He’s always been a questionable human being and I grew older and lost interest with him, be into feet all you like dude, but he seems totally disconnected from society for a while. Also his hyping of the Weinstein’s back in the day 😬
Ootl what is "fortnight kill bill?"
I know Fortnite and Kill Bill separately but not in juxtaposition.
He made a deleted scene from the film in Fortnite, ironically I watched it tonight at a friends place… it was not good and just made me sad.
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.
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.
Don't kink shame, it hurts nobody.
Edit: the kink is what hurts nobody, naturally, is what I mean. I am severely sleep-deprived. Forcing people who work for you to cater to your kink is of course scum behaviour.
If it's a (usually sexual) thing that would normally require consent (like any other fetish), and Tarantino is using his power as director to persuade women actors to show their feet (e.g. Margaret Qualley), then yes, absolutely it is hurting someone and he is using his power to appease his fetish, which is gross. The fetish itself is not gross, idgaf if someone's into feet, but it's not okay to force others into your fetish.
Tarantino is using his power as director to persuade women actors to show their feet
OK, what's going on here? Isn't being a director a part of art and expression, so expressing "here's a pair of women's feet, that shit turns me on" a part of art?
The actresses can see the script, they know it's Quentin Tarantino, it's like the cat looking in box meme. What did they expect, no taking video of your feet for the worlds biggest foot fetishist?
It's abuse of power when he does that shit unexpectedly behind the scenes.
If you want to be mad at Tarantino for abusing an actor, try the car stunt with Uma Thurman
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uma_Thurman#Kill_Bill_car_crash
In the same 2018 New York Times interview, Thurman described how she had been in a serious car accident back in 2003 on the set of Kill Bill, because Tarantino had insisted she perform her own driving stunts.[182] Two weeks after the crash, she tried to see footage of the incident. Thurman stated that Miramax would only agree to show her the footage if she signed a contract "releasing them of any consequences of my future pain and suffering", which she refused.[182] As a result of the crash, she sustained permanent injuries to her neck and knees.[182] Tarantino later called this incident "the biggest regret of his life".[183] Thurman later clarified on Instagram that Tarantino had apologized to her for the incident and that she has since forgiven him,[184][185] being open to working with him again.[186]
I'm no prude, but it causes me at least 1d4 psychic damage every time I see him force an actress to rub her feet against the camera for his own sexual gratification.
And it's different from all the times other directors have an actress take her top off?
Change "hurts" to "helps" to fix. I agree though.
Cuz he is a weak human.
He insulted Matthew Lillard, who is famous for playing Shaggy from scooby do. Matthew also appeared as a guest star on Legends of Avantris, a D&D show/podcast, not long ago hence the overlap between the 2
I guess he does have many credits as Shaggy. I thought he'd be known for being the main bad guy in Scream. And, on this platform, I thought we'd all go for Hackers. No, just me and u/zerocool?
Um, SLC Punk!
In Hackers he wasn't really the protagonist, more of a (really good) side character IIRC. It was also in 1995.
In contrast, he's got some 50 or 60 credits as Shaggy now, spanning from 2002 to whenever he stops being Shaggy. Live action, animated, LEGO versions, games, etc.
HACK THE PLANET!
Oh shit! Cereal Killer became Shaggy‽ I would say that was typecasting, but I'm not trying to hate.
Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I've seen. Hack the planet!
I think you're kind of overselling the cultural significance of Scream.
Im just going by what I saw people say when I first encountered tbh :3 I couldn't name you a single celebrity or what they've been in honestly, actor names is not a thing I ever paid attention to lol
