I’m posting to apologize about stuff I said on the Critical Drinker’s podcast. I feel like my quotes were taken out of context as salacious sound bytes. I hope you saw the other parts where I said how much I like you as a person and what a nice guy you are.”Weir’s apology continued, “I was trying to be funny, but in retrospect it comes off as disrespectful and mean.

I’m a blunt person – always have been. And it’s been 10 years since the media cared what I had to say about anything so I kind of forgot to watch my words when I have a film in theaters. In a couple months I’ll be back in my cave writing novels and no one will care again. Anyway, if you want to talk about it in real time – even if it’s just to rip me a new one – I’m happy to hop on the phone or zoom.”, and not just thanks to both sharing the stars in common. For the former, the Ryan Gosling film has been a box office smash, and while a sequel has yet to be confirmed, the possibility is out there considering the success of Rocky’s debut.
