Well said, fair fucks to him.
I don't think it's really up for debate that there is an abundance of mopey white guys writing for the movies and television. Nor that very often they write main protagonists who, at least, closely resemble themselves. I don't think "sad white guy" is really that reductive a term nor that it's limiting in that it can incorporate Larry David or Louis CK or Charlie Kaufman in Adaptation to name a few. But I do like how he's questioning the very piece that made him famous when it wrongly lumps a character like Annie Hall in with Zooey in 500 Days of Summer et al."The trope of the Manic Pixie Dream Girl is a fundamentally sexist one, since it makes women seem less like autonomous, independent entities than appealing props to help mopey, sad white men self-actualize"
It could also be argued that the trope of "mopey, sad white men (who need to) self-actualize" is also a fundamentally sexist one
It could be argued, but fuck it, let's not.

Mrs. Doubtfire sequel is off, but Weekend At Doubtfire's is a go.
he was sometimes great and sometimes awful
Remember him in Assassins ? Gold.I watched The Expendables 3.
It's great fun. Much better than the second one, which was fairly shite despite funny stuff like Chuck Norris.
There are some hilarious lines in the film, naturally. Arnie gets some of them, naturally.
Surprisingly though, this is great, Antonio Banderas steals the show. He is fucking classssss in this film. Like really really classssss. What a legend!
Speaking of De Niro..I don't know where the point where watching him improv went from funny to cringey, but it happened.
There's a pretty good interview with him here where he has it dialed way down and talks about everything, including contemplating suicide.
It also has the best Robert DeNiro story I have ever heard.
