i’m happy to report that someone found this blog with the search terms “BRETT RATNER HACK” (and all in caps).  it’s good to know that other people have put these words together and are actively seeking out further information.  go world!

here is a quick list of Ratner’s unforgivable directing sins against the people of the world (and is it any coincidence his last name has the word RAT in it?  i think not:

Rush Hour, The Family Man, Rush Hour 2, Red Dragon, X-Men: The Last Stand (for this i could kill the man); and let’s not forget Rush Hour 3 (whoo-hooo!). 

i mean are you kidding me?  how is it this guy gets hired for anything?  this is your list of credits?  i gracefully left off Money Talks and After the Sunset as i have not seen enough of either to judge – but i’m confident they suck as well.  how does one even go about destorying franchises already so carefully built?  well okay, only one franchise, but whatever. 

sidenote:  as karmic payback for my HACK posts, when my book is no doubt optioned by hollywood someday (blessing or curse?) i’m sure Brett Ratner will direct my precious baby into Rush Hour 3 ridiculousness…oy.

you know who i really dislike, despite the fact that i have never met her and cannot give you one good reason for disliking her, except for the fact that i think she’s a shitty actress?  that’s right, Sean Young. 

i can’t put my finger on it, but she annoys the hell out of me, to a really insane degree.  anyway, for some reason, despite the fact that she’s sort of a has been/never was, Entertainment Weekly is doing a cover story on her (why? i don’t know…i don’t ask these questions anymore…mostly because nobody answers me).  so i am kind of loathe to give her the free press of my dozens and dozens of readers (that’s you!) but i posted the link to the full story below. 

she’s so pathetic in the interview that i actual started to feel a little sorry for her, but then she just continued being whiny and annoying and fake and psycho and comparing herself to Julia Roberts (are you kidding?) and saying she has at least as much charisma as George Clooney (are you KIDDING?!) and so my ‘sorry feelings’ evaporated like fine mist and i just went back to hating her again.  this is one of those few times that Hollywood seems to agree with me and has forcibly kept her on the sidelines…it feels good when a powerhouse like Hollywood finally agrees with you.  it feels like delicious satisfaction and let me tell you, i could get used to it.

as a sidenote, i’ve been compiling a list…you know how i love lists dear reader…of the “10 Most Overrated Actresses”…Sean Young would be #1 on it, but since she isn’t really “highly rated” i guess she’ll just have to get an honorable mention, as only women who are actually getting good roles in Hollywood (for no reasons understood by mankind…or, well, me.) should be on the list.  anyway, here’s a link to the full story, in which you can feel writer Karen Valby’s palpable disdain for her, you can feel Valby trying to like her and Young just cutting her off at every pass:

ps – no picture of Sean Young because i hate looking at her (even though she says “humor and beauty are two things that come naturally to her” yuck – i just threw up a little bit) and i don’t want her image posted on my blog…ever.  it was painful enough to write her name and link to a story…

UPDATE:  this is not a “cover story” in Entertainment Weekly, it is just “a regular story”…the cover i saw in the current article (but didn’t bother to read the caption on) was a cover story they did on her back in 1992…she didn’t warrant a cover story back then to my mind either, but at least she could have been considered “entertainment news” back then.  sorry for the error!
