What up, dudes and dudettes? I’ll tell ya what’s up: looks like that writers’ strike might be ending soon!
Finally. I don’t get what’s up with those whiny wannabe Shakespeares. My boys at the Director’s Guild of America knocked out a contract in, like, a day. True, we were totally wasted during the negotiations and our only demand was “a icy-cold keg of Keystone Light before the Oscars,” but we got it done, ‘cuz we’re not in this for the money. We’re in this for the art. Like when that Asian dude accidentally says “Toto” instead of “Tito” in RH3. That’s real art, bros. That moment’ll be up in some museum next to the Mona Lisa in a hundred years. You just wait ‘n see.
Apparently, what got the writers’ pigtails in a bunch was this internet thing. They wanted to get money when their stuff got viewed online. Pssssh! I don’t know about you guys, but when I download a movie on Limewire or watch an episode of Prison Break at Fox.com, I don’t send the producers a twenty! These writers must have no idea how business gets done, unless they think people on the internet start shoving dollar bills into their computers to watch stuff. Man, where’s their brains?
I’ll keep you guys updated on all this strike stuff, which will hopefully be over real soon. That way I can get someone to write me a sequel to my hit thriller, Red Dragon. I’m thinkin’ this time it’s a chick who needs Hannibal Lecter’s help. And he helps her track down some crazy dude. And then Hannibal escapes prison! I won’t say anymore, but I gotta feeling this one will blow you away. Maybe Jodie Foster for the chick? Nah, this part has Tara Reid written all over it.







Brett Ratner:
The pinnacle of scripted humor is that episode of Step by Step where Cody becomes friends with the original Gomez from the Addams family and convinces him not to commit suicide. End of discussion.

Fatal Farm was inspired by an episode of AD to make Lasagna Cat? I don't know where you get illegal unreleased episodes and/or psychoactive drugs, sir, but I would like some of that.

LOL.
2/8/2008 3:06 AMToto... I'm an asian myself and after seeing this blog; I can't help but laugh at the way asians speak. I'm American born and have no accents but I guess i'll have to develop an accent so that you folks will remember me. See that's why no one even remembers Lucy Liu/Lisa Ling. Watch for me on develop an art form from purely bad accents.

Quietus, you've no idea how right you are. I'm not sure how I could've thought this was a real, genuine Bret Ratner blog--I mean, how could I have missed the 'fake blog' and 'these blogs are not real' stuff posted all over the site?
I'm not sure about the internet knowing funny, tho. People who comment on fake blogs just to tell others that it's a fake blog seems more 'touched' than funny.

In any case, Conan O'Brien's show's been funniner without writers than with. And Lasagna Cat easily beats anything that's ever been broadcasted on television, ever.
2/7/2008 12:25 AMQuietus:
Hey, idiots, this is a fake blog.
If the writers are as smart as you two, then they deserve to be out of a job, because internet people actually know funny better than them.
2/5/2008 5:39 AMMJM:
I was referring to a few live-action "Peanuts" jokes on the show... Wait, you consider "Lasagna Cat" to be the pinnacle of scripted humor, and you're accusing *me* of using psychoactive drugs?
2/7/2008 12:58 PMMJM:
Really? I'd've thought you'd be more of a "Hearts Afire" guy.
2/7/2008 3:43 PMMJM:
Q: I think you mean "fresher" rather than "funnier." He's doing new things. It's all rather slap-dash, with or without the "writers."
I'd love to go with you on the Lasagna Cat victory tour, but I'm pretty sure that "Arrested Development," a show from tele-vision, was funnier. Actually, I think Lasagna Cat was inspired by one of the episodes of AD.

Cancer's not cliche enough for Brett Ratner. I hope he dies of a gunshot wound the day before he retires.
And that he's surrounded by Asians who can't understand a single word coming out of his mouth.
