After the context of his initial reaction being LEAVE ME ALONE I'VE MATURED GET OFF MY CASE it feels less like a good apology and more like "He was told he is getting fired from the Oscars and needs to do damage control or else this is going to get even worse"

Was not expecting flashbacks to playing shitty skinhead clubs.
It's so good at that
Like, I think Green Room is great regardless
But if you have been a punk of any sort, it hits fucking hard
For real, that was shockingly accurate. I'm not even joking. Right down to joking about playing Nazi Punks Fuck Off before going on stage.
Yeah, that was fantastic, though. Really beautifully shot, too. Especialy for a movie that largely takes place in a single dingy room.
Yeah like I
I love that other people like Green Room
I think it was a very good movie, I think that it is remarkably good and unexpectedly powerful horror
But so much of it is tied up in me
And that doesn't mean I don't love it, that I won't recommend it to my friends
But my friends have been in the venue that's got a shelf above the urinal, and they know that that's a luxury
And I don't really know how to recommend it without that knowledge
Yeah, I completely loved it and it would probably have been one of my favorite 2 or 3 movies of the year if I had watched it when it released like I should have. But man, it feels like it's laser targeted at a niche group of people that I fit into and I know two or three other people who are going to get it the same way.
I just wonder what it looks to someone who has no relationship to that whole scene and experience.
Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust

That's a lot better Kevin Hart.
It's not perfect but he did admit remorse for his words, stated he's changed, and gave up an amazing opportunity directly due to the controversy his words caused.
I can accept this if he proves its not just words going forward.

As for realistic replacements....
Jameela Jamil would be awesome but we all know that's most likely not going to happen. She's not enough of a household name.
I do feel like they'll feel pressure to replace him with another minority so that's good.
Part of contrition is accepting that you don't get to say sorry and then just keep doing what you are doing, so that Hart has stepped down is a positive thing I think. He did wrong and understands that the consequences include his career not going where he wanted it to this year.
He just posted an “apology” and i will not be surprised if we learn he’s not hosting anymore. It’s that bad
Well, you nailed that one.
honestly woke up to this news all smug and then as I creaked my old body out of bed I was like "well actually we didn't really need Nostradamus for that one though, did we?"
Like Crazy Rich Asians came out and is the 6th highest grossing one of all time but will likely be looked at as a minor success because it "only" made 236 million
Nah, the budget was $30mil. It was astounding how well it did in every way, including how long it did well in terms of week-to-week drops. The studio already committed to a sequel and is trying to get the whole original team to stick around for it (most of them have options for it but schedules are kinda less flexible until 2020, so it might be a bit)
So, fun update on this one
It was so successful it's getting Warner to take another different chance with the same director
Chronicles the journey of Arnel Pineda, a Filipino singer rescued from obscurity by a YouTube video that led him to become lead singer of Journey
Discovered on YouTube by Journey co-founder Neal Schon, who’d finally found the rare singer able to reliably replicate the soaring vocals of exited original lead singer Steve Perry, Pineda revived Journey and put the band back in stadiums once again.
“The success of Crazy Rich Asians has blown my mind and set me on a path to champion more unique inspirational stories that represent new perspectives from all around the world,” Chu said in a statement to Deadline. “This story in particular has been on my mind since I first read about it years ago. A true fairy tale and triumph of the human spirit. An unlikely hero, an undeniable talent, the power of music and a worldwide stage (literally) has all the ingredients I love about movies. Plus I have been a fan of Journey’s music since I can remember. I am excited to be bringing the audience along on this incredible story with my partners at Warner Bros who have been a leading champion of diverse voices in front and behind the camera.”
oh man, Arnel Pineda is a pretty good story to make into a movie

I called the Avengers subtitle months ago!
"A new take on the epic fantasy genre... Darkly comic, relatable characters... twisted storyline."
"Readers who prefer tension and romance, Maledictions: The Offering, delivers... As serious YA fiction, I’ll give it five stars out of five. As a novel? Four and a half." - Liz Ellor My new novel: Maledictions: The Offering. Now in Paperback!
the only thing with doing an Arnel Pineda movie is it's a somewhat similar story to Tim Ripper Owens who joined Judas Priest in more or less the way, and THAT was already fictionalized into the dumb Mark Wahlberg movie Rock Star

I know when I think of awesome Filipino singers who ended up the lead singer of Journey my brain immediately goes to Mark Wahlberg

... I think I thought you guys were talking about Kevin James.
have Jameela Jamil do it
Just for a year.
Just to try it out.
Give it a miss.
See if anyone really notices at the end of the year.
i'll host the oscars
But in context, it's a pretty good apology
And then in 2019 somehow the Oscars got negative ratings
“I know you were expecting jokes.
But instead, for the next three hours, we are going to be taking a look at all the movies from this year you morons should be excited about instead of the bullshit currently up for consideration.

Well, you nailed that one.
It's actually a good apology in that it admits wrongdoing and apologizes for the wrong doing, rather than couching it in equivocating language.
But it's also right on the heels of that last defensive rant so I'm skeptical it wasn't just written by a really good PR rep.
Yeah like I
