He can't be more of a spaz than Quintin...which is one of the reasons I can't stand him.

Tarantino = humble and down-to-earth.
Ratner = arrogant jackass.

And I've hated Ratner since I saw him on an episode of "Making the Video" with Mariah Carey and Puff Daddy (before he was known as P. Diddy and then just Diddy).

Superficial IS the entertainment industry...or are you just joining us, already in progress

What i'm getting from your posts here is that since YOU work in the industry and YOU see this behavior all the time, we're supposed to just accept it and not look at it as 'silly'. Give me a break. Let us have our fun. The guy is a douche bag, obviously. He's a name dropper and all he can do is talk about his expensive things and expensive friends in every single sentence. Just because LOTS of celebrities do this, doesn't mean we have to accept it. It's weird, and we can laugh at it.

You worked on the Apocalyto trailer? Awesome. Great trailer. Great score pick, to boot.

That C-list Ratner can take his Bentley with Courtney Love in tow along with his phone and drive off a bridge Vanilla Sky style.
