Your toes are like crack to me.
It’s the only explanation. Why else would Tarantino keep putting Roth in his movies? Lovestruck directors have been putting the less than talented objects of their affection in their films since the Lumiere brothers, and Quentin is no exception. Roth Jager bombed his way into Tarantino’s heart in Deathproof, and has subsequently been rewarded with a role as the furry-chested Bear Jew in World War II epic, Inglourious Basterds.
This proves love is blind. Ten seconds of Roth’s cringe-inducing Carl Yastrzemski rant are almost enough to single-handedly ruin the whole film. Tarantino has gone from sabotaging his films with his own hammy acting to sabotaging them with Roth’s. Don’t Jimmy me, Jules. All I know is Roth must give some good toe.
I didn’t think he was all that bad. Of course the greater question is who’s toes are protruding from Tarantino’s mouth? They look as if they belong to a child. Perhaps Roth has some dirt on the man that would be irreversibly damaging to him should it get out…?
Yeah, it might just be in relation to Tarantino’s giant noggin’, but those are some Princess Tiny Feet.

It’s not just Tarantino, it’s the entire horror scene. Cabin Fever was good, but both Hostel films were pretty bad. Yet somehow, everyone talks about the guy. Maybe he found a monkey paw and wished to be a famous movie director, yet as monkey paws do, it had to give it a grim twist. He would become famous even though his movies are trash.
All that said, I’ll give him props for Thanksgiving. If he actually shot that as a feature, I would be happy.
I liked Cabin Fever at the time (Pancakes!) and Roth even more so, because he had been David Lynch’s assistant at one point. But the shittiness of both Hostels and his acting career have long since ruined it for me.
I’ll be honest with you: I haven’t seen ‘Cabin Fever’ or either of the ‘Hostel’ franchise. They are on my to watch list however, prompted by this very post which led to a perusal of Roth’s IMDB page. I also have ‘Hell Ride’ and ‘Looking For Mr.Goodbar’ to watch. I know Roth isn’t in the latter, but it has Tom Berenger and Diane Keaton. Just saying.
Roth is in Hellride? I had a friend over last night and we actually almost watched that. I dodged a bullet.
Actually you can scratch that one. I got ’2001 Maniacs’ because Roth appeared in it and produced it. I got ‘Hell Ride’ because Tarantino produced it. It’s all coming back to me now.
Either way, heard Hellride wasn’t so hot.
You can’t believe everything you hear. I mean let’s face it, the critics slated ‘Death Proof’ but I freakin’ loved it! Fast tattooed cars, an excellent soundtrack, mutilated bitches (that really had it coming) and a psychotic Kurt Russell: What more could you possibly ask for? In fact I was so excited when ‘Death Proof’ hit cinemas despite the negative press that I wanted to make a night of it and took a bottle of Jack to the late showing. Every time Stuntman Mike’s tortured visage was on screen I took increasingly healthy swigs. Needless to say he featured extensively in the movie after we’re introduced to Arlene and the crew, ironically the one area of the film where I absolutely needed to be trashed and wasn’t. Listening to the girls unnatural banter as it spilled from Tarantino’s mind directly into their mouths was an unusual experience. Very rarely am I so torn between my admiration for the man’s brilliant wordplay and obscure culture references, and my despair at how badly he writes for women. We get it, strong sassy female characters are what the man likes; but I’ll be buggered sideways by a dildo laden Uma Thurman before women start chatting about ‘Vanishing Point’ and “the band The Who could have been” over menstrual cramps and Matthew “made no more than 1 good movie” McConaughey . Hmm, being butt-blasted by Uma Thurman: Quentin’s terrible secret and Roth’s Ace in the hole perhaps?
What’s with the Roth bashing? I thought Cabin Fever and Hostel were excellent.
He may not be the best actor in the world but he is hardly playing Hamlet is he?
LOL…. DOSENT ELI LOOK LIKE BUSTER BUNNY FROM TINY TOONS LMFAO.
Haha, I suppose he does.
