Two and half months ago Naomi Watts said:

“I look at those romantic comedies, and I see actors with perfect hair and six-packs, and I feel myself being numbed, and I get angry because I see so much money spent on these things. I don’t mean to sound righteous here,” she continues. “There is need for it, because there are times when I am in a hotel room and need to be numbed.”

“I want a big paycheck, so put me in some dumb romantic comedy any day.”

And now:

Naomi Watts will top line First Look Pictures’ adaptation of Amy Sutherland’s “Kicked, Bitten and Scratched: Life and Lessons at the World’s Premiere School for Exotic Animal Trainers.”

Kristin Hahn and Dana Adam Shapiro will produce the project, developed as a romantic comedy.

Yay! She got her wish! I hope this project is a super duper big paycheck and mind-numbingly dumb on all counts. I hope it is a true affront to humanity so Naomi can rest easy. To recap the issue was not that rom-coms were bad; the issue was that no one had cast her in one yet. You got your wish princess.

I like Naomi Watts. You should too. She’s good people. But when you come after romantic comedies, you’re coming after my big old heart. Read what she said in this article:

“I look at those romantic comedies, and I see actors with perfect hair and six-packs, and I feel myself being numbed, and I get angry because I see so much money spent on these things,” the 38-year-old actress says in an interview in Allure magazine’s January issue, on newsstands Tuesday. “I don’t mean to sound righteous here,” she continues. “There is need for it, because there are times when I am in a hotel room and need to be numbed. … I keep saying to myself, Oh, God, I’m sick of playing these dark, harrowing roles. I want a big paycheck, so put me in some dumb romantic comedy any day.”

Um, you know who disagrees with you sister? John FUCKING Cusack. Numb and dumb? You tell that to Love Actually sister, go ahead, tell it to its face.

I thought not.
