Perhaps tomorrow will be a better day!

Well, I didn't see the movie in question (or I don't remember seeing the whole thing from start to finish, at any rate) but maybe QT will figure out why he has a compulsive need to act like a jerk sometimes.

"Daniel Day-Lewis defends Paul Dano after Tarantino criticism"

“'There Will Be Blood would stand a good chance at being No 1 or 2 if it didn’t have a big, giant flaw in it … and the flaw is Paul Dano,' said Tarantino.

'Obviously, it’s supposed to be a two-hander, but it’s also drastically obvious that it’s not a two-hander. [Dano] is weak sauce, man. He is the weak sister. Austin Butler would have been wonderful in that role. He’s just such a weak, weak, uninteresting guy. The weakest fucking actor in SAG.'"

Is he trying to exercise demons, or exorcise demons, or something? Does a demon sit on his shoulder and say "Hey, say this now. Just do it. See what happens!"

"It's a community service!"

"Quentin Tarantino has strong opinions about Paul Dano and none of them are right"

“'So you put him with the weakest male actor in SAG?' Tarantino replied, somehow forgetting he is probably the weakest male actor in the Screen Actors Guild. When Ellis asked if Tarantino had ever enjoyed Dano in any project, he replied: 'I don’t care for him. I don’t care for him, I don’t care for Owen Wilson, and I don’t care for Matthew Lillard.' What does he have against twitchy white guys?"
