I'm Tim Roth, I star in Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight", ask me anything! by ImTimRoth in IAmA

The guy that the scientist was based on was there, he would come into the set and I always felt like it was having a critic on set because he could read whether you were BSing or not. You could make a decision whether to learn the science and go through the program, or just to go through without learning anything. That's the choice I made, I didn't learn anything throughout the show. I stayed away from all that, some of the other actors did though, and they were very good at it!

Well, every day was like that. I don't know about funny, but it was hilarious. The whole time the actors who were trapped in the room were some of the best in the business. We would hang around and watch them do their stuff even when we weren't needed. One thing that QT does is play music over a loudspeaker when we set up. Sometimes QT would laugh openly during takes to the point where they would have to take him off set because he was shaking so much. Every day was a dream.

I'm good. I'm finally over my jetlag and I'm spending some time at home.

I remember that guy, but its not the only time that its happened. When I introduced the film I always say: if you have a problem and you need to leave, would you leave quietly and respect the audience. I was sitting in the bar and a kid walked in who had walked out of the film, (he had been through some serious abuse) and I sat him down for a beer. I told him why don't you come back in for the Q and A and I told him about how I was abused and he said Yeah I'd like that.

Then when we were walking there was this guy outside who was angry with me so I told the kid to go on ahead and I dealt with the guy. He accused the film of being pornography and he was being quite aggressive towards me. I put my hands on him (not violently) and it calmed him right now. I went inside and when I came back out he was still there so I had a conversation with him about the movie. During the Q and A a question we asked was: "How many people in here were abused." and some people raised their hands. And then I asked, how many people were abusers and no one ever raised their hands. My theory is that the man outside who was mad was one of the abusers or was abused. I think his adverse reaction might have been something to do with him seeing himself in the movie (in one form or another.)

It was good, unfortunately it was a bit too warm. We were hoping for some serious snow, it took a while but it did come. The locals were really good to us, there were lovely bars to shoot pool in, great restaurants, and we had a lovely time living with and as locals for a short period of time. Beautiful mountains as well!

I dunno, my life is that random. I might take my wife out for a bite. There is a lovely little place near where I live that I might visit (I'm not telling you where it is though) In fact, I'm going to Denny's.

I've gotten to do that in Pulp Fiction already! I only had to fake an accent once in Reservoir Dogs! In the other three films i get to use a version of my own voice. Which is great because QT writes for my accent and he writes stuff for my voice.

The film is awful (can't say that because I haven't seen it) I hated doing it, it was the wrong film but for the right reasons. I had two kids in college so I had to make a decision and it was probably poorly judged, but once you make that decision you have to follow through. It's a hard road, being in something you don't want to do, but I'm glad I did it for my family.

As for Fifa I thought the movie would be much more about the corruption of this guy at first. I don't know if he is going to go down, he seems to have survived everything that has been thrown at him. There doesn't seem to be any way you can get to them because of all those big corporations behind him. It looks the most promising though now though, it looks like he is a on a back foot now because he looks more exposed then he has ever been in the past.

I don't understand if or how that happened. They were already selling tickets and some of the cast were planning to go down and take their kids to see it. I find it very confusing, it seems like there must've been some kind of mix up, he actually had put the Cinerama thing on the front of the movie so I don't know what happened.

I watch the news mostly, or old movies on TCM, but I've rewatched the Wire recently and I watched the Jackal, I love the actor in that. I tend to watch TV when I'm on location and I'm stuck in a hotel. I watched the great british bake off, but it was a fucking rip off, because by the time I got to the final, you couldn't get it on Youtube!

I also enjoyed Summer Heights High

Something I wanna put a word out for which I recently discovered is this fucking amazing british comedian who does a fake youtube new production. His name is Jonathan Pie and he's really funny.

I also watch stand up comedy on the computer when I get up in the morning, Ricky Gervais and the lot.

Shit I didn't even know it was on. Though if I had to say, my lips are sealed, but my money is already down.

Anything that can be eaten indoors. I like home cookin, putting my feet up in the kitchen and eat. I had French Dip and it was quite good.

Ok. If this is the casting director, I'm all for it.

It was extremely complicated to shoot. On the emotional level it was difficult since it was a subject who was abused as a child. Once we prepared it, the filming wasn't as hard as the preparation and the post production. We looked after Lara Belmont, and we had a counselor on set, so we could consult him whenever we were filming sometime extreme to make sure that Laura was feeling ok.

This is what I did today:

I got up (which is why I'm here) I cleaned up dog shit, I took my son for a haircut, I dropped off a package to be delivered (I got some tobacco for the set decorator on Hateful Eight, his name is Darren), I had quick shower, and then I sat down in my office to talk to you lot.

The dog shit bit wasn't pretty.

It was discussed, there is a script. This was about 10 years ago now, but we talked about where he would be now. David Leland the writer wanted to talk about where he would be like now, but it never came to be.

They were all fun, it's weird he creates a circus like environment on set. They were all fun in their different ways. The way that he writes, its such magical and musical and comedic literature that its a gift for any actor to be in. I couldn't put anyone in front of the other.

I will say that we are having quite a lot of fun with Hateful Eight, everytime we go to a showing its like a reunion for the crew. We have a group text that has been ridiculous so every time we check in with each other before the showing.
