Snap Judgment: Brett Ratner, Photographer

Categories: X-Men

162232__brett_lOut-of-towners, I have amazing news. If you can’t make it to Brett Ratner’s photography exhibit in New York tonight, you can still appreciate the X3 director’s photography via the the so-called in-ter-net.

Here you’ll find, among other things, a picture of Kirk Douglas and some dogs with salient genitals. I like it, but I wish someone had encouraged the dogs to at least try playing poker. On the plus side: Brett Ratner is also in the picture, which is amazing, because he took the picture. Maybe he used a timer. Maybe he’s actually The Flash. Either way, I’m impressed. B

This is one in a series I call Edward Norton Trying to Look Like a Trucker. Notice how there’s no actual truck in the picture. That’s because Ratner is a master of subtlety: The truck is in your mind. B+

My favorite has to be I Am Friends with Al Pacino, the apotheosis of Ratner’s ongoing I Am Friends with Someone Famous period. According to the caption, Pacino "laughed… when I asked him to do his best Michael Corleone." Brett, concept idea for you: Why not snap De Niro after asking him to do his best "you talkin’ to me?" No, no — don’t thank me. A

    He took a really beautiful, intimate picture of Mariah Carey. I’m not a crazy mariah fan, but she looks, INCREDIBLY beautiful and natural, not like she normally is. Check it out.

    Scott – your review: A+ (the + comes from the shout out to the dog penises)

    You know, I was all ready to cut the dude some slack going into X3, but after seeing that stupid Al Pacino nonsense, my little heart grows cold with trepidation…what a dumb bunny.

    For some reason, that last photo just made me wanna puke. A little bit.
