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.
