He divides me.

Overall, I like him, but he's occasionally a bit of a blowhard, and his attempts to reinvent himself as Mr 'Woke' feminist occasionally seem a little forced and hypocritical, in view of some of the sexist films he was involved in (Katherine Heigl had a few, reasonable, criticisms against Knocked Up), his friendship with James 'sex pest' Franco (I can't believe he was entirely unaware of what was going on), and Charlyne Yi's accusation against him, which relates to my last point of how he effectively enabled Franco, even if he wasn't sexually abusing anyone himself (and, fwiw, I suspect Rogen is probably quite courteous and decent to women in person, but he still needs to/needed to call out sexist BS, assuming he was/is aware of it, when it was/is being perpetrated by colleagues and friends).

HE'S RIGHT THOUGH...THE CRITIC'S CHOICE AWARDS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE "IMPORTANT" AND THEY ARE ON THE CW AT 4 IN THE AFTERNOON...DOUBLING UP AWARDS...PRETTY FUCKING SAD.


โ€œIโ€™m not saying the CW is bad. What I will say, it is the one network to receive zero Critics Choice nominations โ€” you are saying itโ€™s bad. Weโ€™re on your least favorite network. How did that happen? Nominate yourselves next time, youโ€™d have won. No one will think itโ€™s weird, theyโ€™ll think itโ€™s fine.โ€

THAT PART CRACKED ME UP.๐Ÿคฃ

He occasionally annoys me but on this instance *good for him*. I loathe the CW. And he might have a point about being the first Jew on the CW.

When the CW is casting for a Jewish character, they usually pick people like this:

or this:

Oy vey. ๐Ÿคฆโ€โ™‚๏ธ๐Ÿ˜  Clearly, Seth Rogen wasn't blonde, blue-eyed, and peaches-and-cream enough in complexion to play a Jew on the CW...
