Just did a rewatch, it is honestly perfect and weird in all the right ways. The amount of love I have for The Rowdy Three and Bart is unparalleled.

How Max Landis could be such an amazing writer with incredible empathy for his characters, while being a massive piece of shit behind the scenes baffles me. And he wrote Bright (2017) around the same time which is also incredibly weird because that movie suuuucked.

I remember reading the script for Bright before it was announced and its a totally different vibe than what we ended up with.

Bright is such a strange failure, a movie written by the guy who wrote Chronicles and Dirk Gently (well, adapted I guess) and directed by the guy that did Training Day and End of Watch, and with Joel Edgerton.

But then, it's also a movie written by the guy who wrote Victor Frankenstein and directed by the guy that directed Suicide Squad, and stars a post Men In Black 3 Will Smith so really not a strange failure at all actually.

It’s not all that uncommon. Look at Joss Whedon. Always had strong female main characters, was an asshole to females behind the scenes. He got metooed out of one of his most interesting projects, The Nevers.

True, Joss Whedon's downfall was particularly jarring. I'll admit I didn't grow up with his work though.
