Everyone’s saying Adam McKay has gotten really insufferably smug all of a sudden with this movie. Meanwhile, The Big Short literally has a scene of “You rubes are too stupid to understand anything that’s happening in this movie, so here’s Margot Robbie in a bathtub to explain it.”
“It’s kind of sweet, in a sticking up for your friends sort of way—even if we’re not wholly convinced that wealthy, well-connected Emmy winners necessarily need such a full-throated defense at the moment”
I’m sure he could have used the headlines talking about their falling out, but he kept quiet and respected their former friendship. McKay did not. And now he is going to complain because people would rather talk about this than climate change?
Feels worth noting that a couple weeks before this story became A Thing, somebody asked Will Ferrell the same question McKay got about why the two of them split up. Ferrell gave the essentially drama-free answer that he quit their production company because he wanted to smaller workload.
Look I think Baldwin is a real prick bastard but I haven't seen anything from this incident that I'd pin on him on particular. He's just the most famous individual tied to it. Get angry at the assistant director and the armorur.

All he had to do was creep behind the scenes like the cockroach he is. But nope, he flew too close to the sun for that hosting gig and invited the scrutiny
And appears to have made a deal with the devil, trading superstardom for eternal youth.
I can’t even imagine Cats does Countdown without him. I’m so sad about this. RIP to the world’s greatest carrot in a box player.
I dunno if Colin is supposed to be queer, but he was probably my favorite of the second-tranche players from last season so if they give him more to do I’m happy (his “Doctor told me not to drink” line followed by an immediate swig in “For the Children” always cracks me up.)
I’m happy that the show is dealing with the…
We haven’t heard from him for weeks! WEEKS! He could have died!
Why does Joseph Gordon-Levitt need a comeback? Did he harass someone? He was in a Best Picture nominee last year.
Is this a desirable job? You are pretty much guaranteed a vocal percentage of the viewership will hate you simply for not being Trebek.
Someone listened to Dick Cheney’s TED talk!
