...don't die from shock or anything: Brett Ratner!
Don't expect Hollywood to pull the Lars Von Trier treatment
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”
~ Muhammad Ali

Posted: 11/8/11 at 3:43pmWell, his latest film is a stinking turd, so I guess poor boy needs attention. I'm proud to say I've seen only one of his films. And it was God-awful, as I'm sure the rest of them are.

Mike Signorile was talking about this on xm just a minute ago. He said that the Academy is not particularly happy with Ratner, not just for this, but for his recent comments about Olivia Munn, and some other stuff he said during a Howard Stern interview this week. I don't really know how big of a deal I think it should all be, but I'm enjoying following the story.

Ratner on Howard Stern
"The gods who nurse this universe think little of mortals' cares. They sit in crowds on exclusive clouds and laugh at our love affairs. I might have had a real romance if they'd given me a chance. I loved him, but he didn't love me. I wanted him, but he didn't want me. Then the gods had a spree and indulged in another whim. Now he loves me, but I don't love him." - Cole Porter

The Hollywood Reporter is says he's out as Oscar producer. He resigned. It wasn't just this. Quite a few piggish moves from him lately.

Somebody mentioned an interview he did in The Advocate when questioned about jokes in Rush Hour 3 taken at the expense of gay people. Instead of saying, 'Well, I have gay friends...' he has a pretty interesting personal story.
I can accept terrible directors doing the Oscars but even terrible ones have an ounce of humanity. Ratner is a total manchild.
Totally, okay to make gay jokes. In fact, my first BJ....

He's no longer doing the Oscars.
I'd still hate-f*ck him.

I blame the Academy leaders for choosing him in the first place. They've changed regimes in the last couple of years, and for the worse, if you ask me.
They're really whoring up the place. Stop trying to make the Oscars "sexy," especially when you have no clue as to what that is or how to do it.

Posted: 11/9/11 at 11:57amHe wrote an open letter apologizing. It's very well worded and sounds sincere but you have to wonder if he actually wrote or if it was written by his publicist.

That apology video is F*CKing brilliant.
Good riddance to a bad douche.
Phyllis, please consider transferring your Hollywood Jew lust over to JJ Abrams. He seems sweet and I bet you could make him cry in bed. Like, the good kind of cry.
