Bruce Ratner, Mystery Science Theather 2008
More follow up on Bud Mishkin's NY1 interview with Brooklyn's favorite overdeveloper, Bruce Ratner:
Curbed, Ratner Praises East River Fish, Disses Architecture
The snarky real estate blog basically lets Bruce Ratner speak for himself in coverage of the Atlantic Yards overdeveloper's NY1 interview (because you can't make this stuff up).
Our favorite of the bunch:
"[Y]ou know, those who focus on the architecture are frankly misguided about what's really important in this world."
...or maybe it's:
"I want to do great architecture, but I have to say something, which is that, if one is going to boil life down to architecture, then you know what? It's not for me."
...or:
"The architecture is important, but it's not that important."
NoLandGrab: Ratner might consider reserving his love-hate relationship with "architecture" for the therapist's couch.
The Knickerblogger, Bruce Ratner: the Ed Wood of Developers?
Knickerblogger recommends Develop Don't Destroy Brooklyn's commentary on the Ratner NY1 interview:
Its sort of like the old Mystery Science Theater 2000 - except Atlantic Yards is the crappy film, Ratner the washed up actor - its just no fun without the commentary.
