just reeks of narcissism to me. like really son? you couldn't find a proper actor to play that role? :childplease:

spike lee, m. knight, lena dunham, tarintino, etc.

one of my movie pet peeves. just stay your ass behind the camera. reminds me of p diddy dancing all up in his artists videos trying to steal a little bit of their spotlight for himself :smh:

Hitchcock used to do this all the time. But, his appearances were more subtle.

Clooney a clown? I see the OP's point, but calling an actor a clown because he sometimes ventures out to direct and casts himself is some dumb shyt.

I'm giving this thread 5 Ben Afflecks

U know wut fuk all of these white directors man. My fav director of all time is Martin Scorsese and that cac is ARGUABLY more racist than quentin. (Difference is Martin has talent) But still I'm tired of being a c00n and turning a blind eye to this stuff.

Nah OP is right. Smh at Taratintino casting himself and inventing an entire monologue for himself just so he can live his sick fantasies.

It's like dude your directing the movie stay the fukk out of the camera. Play your part.

i dont think quentin is racist at all. i think he just really loves black culture

Like i said back at **** im willing to bet QT just have a Twisted,Perverted Mind which is cool wit me cuz it gave me hella classics to throw on on a Rainy Day

Im willing to bet he isnt the only nor the LAST Hollywood Director/Actor/Producer to be that way either....:smoker:
