I am so bummed to hear about this because I’ve really enjoyed Rosenbaum over the years. He was definitely the best thing about Smallville. But this sounds like everything I hate :-(
Yeah, it was a drag. And even more disheartening: this was clearly the movie Rosenbaum wanted to make. It’s obviously a passion project for him – and this is what he did with that opportunity. Ugh.
Yup, there’s no way I can spin this one to get him off the hook.
I’m expecting the misogynistic hate-mail in T-minus 10 minutes ….
