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 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

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 64 points 4 days ago (10 children)

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?

[–] capital_sniff@lemmy.world 29 points 4 days ago

Um, SLC Punk!

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 17 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago (1 children)

He mentioned in an interview that he found out that he was no longer the voice of Shaggy when he saw Will Forte credited with the role. Lillard apparently wasn't even invited to audition.

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Will Forte has one Shaggy credit in 2020.

Lillard has several after that, including one in 2025 and IMDb lists one upcoming credit too.

He's still the voice of Shaggy IMO, just got shafted for one reboot.

[–] fartographer@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Well, that's good news. I actively stopped paying attention to new Scooby news after how hurt he expressed feeling. I wish Warner would stop making it so morally difficult to enjoy their IPs and support their creators.

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

That's why I specified "on this platform", where the demographic leans towards having been 10-20 years old at the time of the movie release and going into IT/coding after that. But I mean, I was being a little facetious with it. It's a cult classic with some awful interprations of hacking

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 3 days ago

I mean probably half to a third of the people here were born around the movie release date or later.

Plenty of Gen Z on this platform.

[–] yyyesss@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago

HACK THE PLANET!

[–] grue@lemmy.world 13 points 4 days ago

Of the movies you listed, Hackers is the only one I've seen. Hack the planet!

[–] AngryCommieKender@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

Oh shit! Cereal Killer became Shaggy‽ I would say that was typecasting, but I'm not trying to hate.

[–] TabbsTheBat@pawb.social 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] XeroxCool@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago (4 children)

I get that for people who had his live Shaggy role their entire lives. Scooby was primarily a cartoon for me. But I was surprised and understanding of him potentially being most famous for Shaggy, as he has like 20 credits to his name. Presumably for a lot of voice work

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.

[–] LemmyKnowsBest@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 57 points 5 days ago (11 children)

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.

[–] ohulancutash@feddit.uk 13 points 4 days ago

Especially since Tarantino is a SAG actor.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

That's crazy because Paul Dano is a good actor

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

He's a solid character actor, but he really only plays the weird guy, which he does well.

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.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 10 points 4 days ago (2 children)

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”.

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.

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 😬

[–] sem@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Ootl what is "fortnight kill bill?"

I know Fortnite and Kill Bill separately but not in juxtaposition.

[–] async_amuro@lemmy.zip 6 points 4 days ago

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. 

[–] Formfiller@lemmy.world 17 points 5 days ago (2 children)

I think it’s because he’s a Zionist and so is his wife

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 7 points 4 days ago

But it's 2025, everyone is either a Zionist or an Anti-Semite.

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.

[–] trashcroissant@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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.

[–] Soggy@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago (1 children)

And it's different from all the times other directors have an actress take her top off?

Everyone's mentioned feet but not the gratuitous n-bombs he writes for himself to say?

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 days ago

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.
