PTA vs. RATNER????

[finlayr]

I was just reading about the PTA and Brett Ratner rivalry...  What's that all about?  Do they not get along or something?

And for the people who 'HATE' Brett Ratner, you have to remember he got where he is to today for a reason.  And he's a PERSON.  A human being not an object you can just dislike without even knowing him.  I love Anderson, and there's a line in Magnolia  "What can we forgive?".  Can you all just forgive Brett Ratner for whatever he has done.

But seriously...

I dont think its founded on much but I was watching the making of on Red Dragon and he really kind of disgusted me in a way, not in a personal sense, but I couldn't get past the location scout section. It just annoyed me when he and Dino De Laurentiis were waving the $$$ about to buy this historical house and blow it up. I didnt think that kind of 'Im Andy Kaufmn and Im from Holloywood' attitude actually existed. I haven't got anything against his films, they're just pretty average affairs, I enjoyed Red Dragon though.

Plus this PTA wannabeness is a bit sad. I mean, I'm sure a lot of young directors look upto/respect PTA but if Ratner really did put 'a prince' next to Downey Sr's name in a movie...well.

You're right though, who are we to criticise.

whatever you say, Brett.

you remind me of the ronald mcdonald clown that pretended to walk into burger king to eat lunch. we all could see that it was a mcdonalds clown, but he was 'undercover,' trying to steal BK's secrets.

Wait, wasn't there a whole huge thread about this?

Just wondering why you think Brett Ratner is a PTA wannabe?  Is it things in his work that he ripped off or 'borrowed' from Anderson or what?  What's this about putting 'a prince' beside someone's name???

Ratner's just a jealous fucker, its that simple. His films might make more money than PTAs, but he certainly doesn't have the worldwide critical respect and admiration that Paul has and that kills Ratner. He should stop being so whiny.

[Pozer]

why you think Brett Ratner is a PTA wannabe?

who the ef thinks this? I can't see what would possibly make him a PTA wannabe. there's nothing simular between the two except for a few actors, in my opinion.

and why do I all of sudden want Burger King for dinner? I was craving Mickey D's all day

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

he seems to have a chip on his shoulder

" Im great too look at me i could be better then pta, let me just cast ed norton and psh and the film geeks will love, it worked for spike WHY NOT ME !!!!!!!!!"

I believe so...it's the one thread that just won't die....for the past 3 months now... :P

[bonanzataz]

what rivalry is finlayr talking about?

[Jeremy Blackman]

A one-sided rivalry is not a rivalry... it's either admiration or jealousy...

It's like Mozart and Salieri...

[Duck Sauce]

Im going to try and not judge him as a person, but from the articles I read, he seems very cocky. I havent like ANY of his movies and when he was talking about the I Am Cuba-Boogie Nights connection it seemed more or less like he was saying "so what? big deal? he stole that from IAC"

[AlguienEstolamiPantalones]

duckie in all fairness i think you missunderstoof him, what he was getting at was that he brett ratner, was in fact cuba
"
Brett Ratner - I am Cuba  "


that part in the interview where he yelled " I got a Cohiba for you to roll" then he wipped out what he called "lil fidel"

very disturbing verydisturbing indeed made all the more odd by the fact that he did this during his interview with golfers digest

Finally,
Do you think PTA cares what the hell Brett says or think or do? Of course not!
So, lets talk about something better
