We always think it's so bizarre when fanboys and girls start filling up our tips box with vitriol about the latest unpopular decision made by Sega, Square, Microsoft or practically anyone involved in the gaming industry. "Where do they get all that
hate?" we wonder aloud, before going to donate more hugs down at the clinic. They would be a complete mystery to us were it not for
Brett Ratner, who, according to a passing mention in a recent press release from MGM, has been tapped to direct the
God of War film.
See, we
hate Brett Ratner. Well, no, we don't hate the person. We're sure he's a perfectly nice man. But we hate everything he's ever put on film from
Money Talks to
X3 aka
Brett Ratner's First-Person Theatrical Abortion. ... You know what? Forget what we said, we
do hate Brett Ratner as a person. And if he directs
God of War, it'll be awful, because all of his movies are awful and we don't know why he keeps being allowed to make them.
The end.
