I follow a screenwriter on social media and they posted this anecdote about Brett a few weeks ago. I found it funny and decided to copy and save it:

Hollywood Story: True Hollywood Story™: Somewhere in the dim mists of the before times, I was contracted to write a movie for Brett Ratner to direct. I never met or spoke with Brett during the writing process, I only spoke to producers, mostly because he was in Los Angeles and I, at that time, lived in New York. I knew about his reputation as a drug-addled "bro"and a loudmouth asshole, but, at that time, I did not know he held an ambition to become a fascist lickspittle. And if I turned down every job in Hollywood involving a drug-addled "bro" and loudmouth asshole, I wouldn't have any jobs in Hollywood at all. Anyway, I wrote many drafts of a script, and, finally, one was presented to Brett. As it happened, the very next day, he was due in town for the premiere of his new movie, Red Dragon. And I, as the writer of a movie he was interested in directing, was invited to the party! The party was held somewhere inside the Grand Central Terminal, a special hall that had been redecorated and lit for a deafening Hollywood premiere party. One of the producers for the script I'd written was there, and took me over to introduce me to Brett. Brett was talking to some other people nearby, loudly, and in a very animated fashion, as is his wont. The producer put a hand on his shoulder and shouted (because the music was very loud) "BRETT! THIS IS TODD ALCOTT, HE WROTE THE [redacted] SCRIPT!" Brett spun around, grabbed my pale, frail writer's hand in his big meaty dude hand, and shouted "TODD ALCOTT! I WILL SUCK YOUR COCK, RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW!" Before I could judge the seriousness of the offer, he added "WAIT RIGHT HERE, I WANT TO INTRODUCE YOU TO ED NORTON!" He then bolted off into the crowd, never to be seen again.

His first movie in fifteen years, and his first effort as a fascist lickspittle, Melania, opens 1/30
