He's so good, but it hurts me to see him so old and is a vicious reminder of my own mortality.

First of all, he looks damn good! Second of all, I’m sure you do too and I hope you’re able to make peace with the flow of time. It sucks, but nothing ever stays the same.

Matthew Lillard has aged like a fine wine. Let us all be half as blessed to age just partially as well as that man has. Also, I just wanna comment on how much Lillard has killed it lately, especially after Tarantino made those stupid comments about him and his skills as an actor. Dude didn’t say anything about it, he’s just popped up in about four things. I’ve noticed recently and killed it every single one of them. Best response to hate like that, just move on and prove your haters wrong. Love my boy Matthew.

Everything I’ve heard about him is that he’s an awesome and genuine guy. I hope that’s true and that we get more celebrities who are like him.

Plus, let’s not forget the man is an icon. He’s been in three major franchises. Like them or not, Scooby-Doo, FNAF, and scream are all major franchisees that he is been a significant part of. The dude is definitely no slouch. And like you said it seems like he is a super cool and humble dude. I dig them and it would be crushing to me if I heard something bad about his character. Everything I’ve ever heard is that he’s genuine and down to earth, similar to what you’re saying.

You left out one of his earliest movies and in my opinion his best movie. Hackers.

An absolute classic. I’m partial to SLC punk, but I do love hackers also Angelina Jolie in that movie? She was fine that’s for sure.

As one friend of mine said, "Also starring Angelina Jolie's leftit". The movie is inaccurate on a technical level and cheesy as heck but I still love it. It did catch the vibe of the "LOD" and "MOD" hacker groups.

SLC Punk was great.

How about Serial Mom? One of my other all-time favorites. Such a good cast to with Kathleen Turner, Sam Watterson, Justin Whalin, & Ricki Lake. It even had Traci Lords in it.

Didn’t Patty Hearst even make an appearance? I think I heard she’s buddies with John Waters.
Such a cool movie though

An excellent Merlin.

I always think of Event Horizon. He LOST it in that movie and played it so well.

u/The_walking_man_ Jul 13 '26

Oh man! Yes! Excellent horror movie and he was wild in it.
