Deadline: James Gunn the director of the Marvels hit Guardians of The Galaxy was fired on Friday. His firing is a result of old social media posts, such as “I like when little boys touch me in my silly places.” It’s being reported that The Daily Caller, One America News Network correspondent Jack Posobiec, and Mike Cernovich, are responsible for unearthing the old tweets. Deadline reports that it was Cernovich that told readers to email Disney, to “complete the takedown.”

Mike Cernovich tweeted this on Friday, some of the tweets pictured are from 2009 and are from the latest target Michael Ian Black.

Another Hollywood pedophile.

Will the media attack me for this?

I don’t care at this point. If you want to ban me for reporting on pedophiles, I’ll suffer that fate. pic.twitter.com/PiQJUH44B5

James Gunn issued a statement via twitter

1. Many people who have followed my career know when I started, I viewed myself as a provocateur, making movies and telling jokes that were outrageous and taboo. As I have discussed publicly many times, as I’ve developed as a person, so has my work and my humor.

3. In the past, I have apologized for humor of mine that hurt people. I truly felt sorry and meant every word of my apologies.

— James Gunn (@JamesGunn) July 20, 2018

5. Anyway, that’s the completely honest truth: I used to make a lot of offensive jokes. I don’t anymore. I don’t blame my past self for this, but I like myself more and feel like a more full human being and creator today. Love you to you all.

L.A. Times — On the Market: A lovely 2,500 hundred square feet home located in Studio City, CA, the asking price is 1.885 million. The house was made famous, at least the outside of it, for being the outside of the Brady Bunch’s home. The series which originally  aired from September 1969 until March of 1974, used the outside of the now million dollar home, for the opening and closing scenes and also to denote the passing of time. The owners, George and Violet McCallister, purchased the house in 1973 according to public records the couple spent $61,000. Ernie Carswell, who is listing the property said the homes interior has been updated, though the outside retains almost the exact decor from that era.
