Matthew Lillard needs you to help a Fat Kid Rule The World!

He's stolen George Clooney's wife in The Descendants and is going up against Clint Eastwood next in Trouble With The Curve (out 28th September in USA) but what's he been doing in the meantime?

Saving a fat kid from suicide by introducing him to the punk rock scene


Based on the award winning book, FAT KID RULES THE WORLD by K.L Going, it will be screening tonight at Toronto's teen NEXT WAVE film festival at 8.30pm, with a Q&A with Matthew and Jacob Wysocki (last seen in the amazingly touching film,Terri with John C Reilly)!

It'll also be showing in Seattle May 18, 19th and 28th, you can get tickets here.

The kickstarter is to fund their going on tour with Vans WARPED tour, the audience for that tour will absolutely fricking love the movie, and it also funds their self distribution which is the important part, we want to see this movie. They've got an amazing array of goodies if you pledge ranging from stickers, signed books, posters, voicemails from Matthew and signed guitars from Mike McCready from Pearl Jam!

Please consider telling people about the kickstarter, do you ever see a movie and wonder why it hadn't been released in cinemas or why you hadn't heard about it? As Matthew says, it's easier to get films made nowadays but harder to distribute them! Lets cut out the middle man and help a former SLC Punk out, with his punk rock grassroots movie and get it out there?

The delectable and funny Jacob Wysocki, talks with the brilliant and crazy-eyed Matt O'Leary here (from Brick, Spy Kids, the amazing Natural Selection, wearing his facial hair from the currently filming Lone Ranger), talk about the movie and damn ladies, I'd totally buy a $500 massage from them.They lived together during filming and you can see that they're a great double act.

Matthew is also appearing in the new fifth season of Leverage, reuniting with his Summer Catch co-star, Christian Kane.... He ended up in the emergency room, thanks to Christian!

Here's a photo of Matt and I from the SXSW premiere party for Fat Kid Rules The World where it won the Audience Award for Narrative Feature!


He's nothing but thankful to his fans and it shows. He invited me to hang out at the press conference the next morning and we got to see how press roundtables work and video interviews happen, was all really fun. He also took a bunch of us out on Sunday night and we ended up in a field with bonfires, random men dancing in those all in one animal pyjamas, drinking pink cocktails that Matt bought for us. Memories!

sassygirl 12th-May-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
the shaved head was from production last year... here's the most recent photo from the set of Leverage... taken by Parker :)
josiefier 12th-May-2012 11:30 pm (UTC)
I like!! Thanks for that.
dannyupshaw 12th-May-2012 11:25 pm (UTC)
I never know what to say when a normal-weight person genuinely backs a fat person. I still can't really comprehend it.
sugarcrawler 12th-May-2012 11:28 pm (UTC)
lol what why
sassygirl 12th-May-2012 11:29 pm (UTC)
Matthew used to be fat.

awful robert pattinson tattoo is judging u
rocksaltme 12th-May-2012 11:54 pm (UTC)
I can agree with this. A lot of the time it seems like 'normal weight' people are just being supportive by words only. They are trying to be nice but don't really mean the words they are saying.
Not every one is like that, though.
rediculouslyon 13th-May-2012 12:14 am (UTC)
i kind of feel the same way. most of my friends are also overweight, though none as fat as i am. i am comfortable with my body and when i do describe myself, i use the word 'fat' and my friends are uncomfortable with that word. i'm fine with it and when people call me fat, it doesn't bother me any more than it should bother a thin person being called thin. i can't tell you how many times i've heard 'you're not even THAT fat.' which isn't true. they're just saying it to say it, but the fact that they're uncomfortable with me calling myself fat just says to me that they're uncomfortable with my body looking the way it does. and if i'm fat, and they are only a couple sizes smaller than me, then it makes them fat, too. fat is not a word they want to use to describe themselves, so they're only saying i'm 'not that fat' because they don't want to be fat either. sugar-coating the word for how a fat person's body looks does not make that person not fat.

/novel. SORRY.
littlehayzay 12th-May-2012 11:26 pm (UTC)
I'm surprised he's out and about doing stuff and not, you know, living in Freddie Prinze Jr's basement as the nanny, considering the amount of movies they did together.

sassygirl 12th-May-2012 11:30 pm (UTC)

blenderhead 12th-May-2012 11:30 pm (UTC)
It's one of my faves; I've watched it so many times. I'll forever have a crush on Bob, tbh.

Til Schweiger killed me in that movie

Him applying for the job slays me every time.

HEY!!! Totally asking for an application like that one day because I have IN-FUCKING-TEGRITY too.

The laugh at the end is the best, tho.

He's trying to get money to take his film on the road with Warped tour.
sassygirl 12th-May-2012 11:37 pm (UTC)

sassygirl 12th-May-2012 11:36 pm (UTC)

I've always wanted to bone him.
hedgerowbustle 12th-May-2012 11:57 pm (UTC)

I miss him and Freddie Prinze, Jr. doing movies together. Those were good times.

love him. my friend PA'd for one of his movies and said he was very nice and took them all for pizza
sassygirl 13th-May-2012 01:10 am (UTC)
Aw, do you know what movie it was? How did she get to be a PA? What sort of things did she have to do?
shanniesaysyo 13th-May-2012 01:26 am (UTC)
not off the top of my head, it was a few years back (2, 3?) and the movie is on netflix now.
my friend is a cinematographer-- or inspiring i guess. he made skate videos back in highschool and made enough to pay to go to film school now he lives in LA and makes his living off of film work-- be it working on friends indie films as a cinematographer or holding booms, carting around Jamie Foxx in a golf cart, he's done all sorts of wild things and been lots of cool places. I also know he's one of the hardest working and most dedicated men I've ever met so I'm sure he takes shit jobs and impresses people into hiring him for better positions on their next films.
