"I just don't feel like acting anymore," the hyperactive Oscar winner said, announcing that he has retired as an actor. "I lost the bug."

Tarantino, who spent his 20s and early 30s attending acting classes while taking on bit parts in shows like "The Golden Girls," has often referred to himself as an actor who just happens to write and direct. Even after he gained his Hollywood stature, he inserted himself into films like "Pulp" and "Four Rooms" while taking on separate acting gigs in films that could be described as the good ("From Dusk Till Dawn"), the bad ("Destiny Turns on the Radio") and the ugly ("Little Nicky"). But now, Tarantino insists, he has closed the curtains on his inner thespian.

I know. It's a sad day. But we're just going to have to trudge on in our lives, making our way towards serenity and peace without the aid of Tarantino's incredible acting. It may just be the most arduous trial humanity has faced since the quest for fire.

I really liked Little Nicky.

It was entertaining.

Me, I like to live.
Me, I like to laugh.
Me, I like to love.

What I meant was that he should stick to directing.

Heh. His bit parts were always good for a laugh, though. The Like a Virgin speech was priceless.

Didn't he have a cameo on Alias a loooong time ago? I remember thinking he was alright, but it doesn't take much to be a one-episode villian.

I did hear that. Tis a shame he wasn't in a musical. Now THAT would be unbelievably entertaining.

I would personally like to see him in The Last Five Years.

I would personally like for him to give up directing as well.

I can't abide his shoddy violent trash...
