Born in Austin, Matthew left soon thereafter and finally made it back after years of paying his penance wandering the earth. Before coming to Austin360, Matthew co-edited Austinist.com, worked as an advertising copywriter and led tours of the Roman Forum, among other things.
When not busy pounding away on his keyboard, he can be found at book readings, concerts, gelaterias, pizza joints, Barton Springs, movie theaters, the golf course, or home with a book. The M.O. gives readers a little insight into the world of this man without a plan.

If you saw “American Idol” last night, you may have seen “Idol” mentor-of-the-night and superfan Quentin Tarantino offer a sneak peek of never-seen-before footage from his upcoming movie “Inglourious Basterds,” starring Brad Pitt, Samuel L. Jackson and Mike Myers (once again, Tarantino revives the career of an aging star). The movie will be out later this summer.
Today, Miramax released that clip in its entirety. Apparently it was “too hot” for prime time TV. As part of the clip’s intro, Tarantino orders another take shot of a scene in the movie because, as he has his crew chant along, “We love making movies.” He certainly does.
