Apr 25 2007Brain Behind Money Talks to Judge Film Talent

According to Variety, Steven Spielberg and Mark Burnett have a new reality show coming out where they search for the next filmmaking talent. One of the judges of the first round will be Brett Ratner, whose resume includes the classics Money Talks, X-Men 3 and all the Rush Hour movies, among other things. Congratulations, you are now the Paula Abdul of cinema.
Okay, so maybe his movies aren't the worst ones out there (though a case could be made for Money Talks), but why do we have to know his name? There is no reason I should have to know what Brett Ratner, Michael Bay, or (shudder) McG looks like.
Some of Ratner's best work, after the jump.
So in case you're keeping score at home, that was French people: Bad. Black people: Silly.

True that, but Red Dragon wasn't all that bad. A trifle unnecessary, a trifle boring, but no X3. And I liked Rush Hour.
But yeah, overall, fuck Brett Ratner.
