I'm sure Mackie was joking about this. I can totally see Ryan picking up a random kitty off the street and hugging it though!

Yup, I bet he’s gonna have a laugh at all the people going “How dare he! Celebs are so narcissistic!”

Same. “Cut the check!!” is all you need to watch to realize he’s a trip.

In the context of the movie it kind of makes sense. Ryan plays a strung out addict whose cat has just died (probably out of his own neglect.) I haven't watched Half Nelson in a while but it was one of my favorites in college. His scenes with Anthony are really profound.

Clearly he is joking bc Half Nelson also came after the Notebook (and murder by numbers, which i love lol). I am disgusted by his disgust for Ryan being nice to a poor feral cat tho, ngl!

tbh if anything MMC set him on the path to fame.. but also, i never watched breaker high!

He has a point about picking up a stray that looked unclean! Gotta get a blanket and think of yourself and other animals first.

That was a great and definitely underappreciated movie, but...come on now.
