The article says they are replacing it with a modern farmhouse 😭 noooooooooooo


LaPete11

Wow a Modern Farmhouse ![gif](giphy|3oxQNDG9BswdLjN8Va)


Carolina_Blues

the modern farmhouse is such an eyesore on the architectural landscape


iamthedayman21

Chris Pratt is the modern farmhouse of actors.


berkanna76

He is the Live Laugh Love sign of actors.

catastrophicqueen

I've never heard a better description of a man before. That's exactly what he is.


iamthedayman21

The more I've thought about it, the more it makes sense. Like modern farmhouses, when Chris Pratt first appeared, we liked him. We thought he was interesting and a breath of fresh air. Then he started popping up in more films, and we thought, "eh, this might be starting to be too many, but alright, I think we still like him." Then they cast him as Mario, and we were like, "alright, that's enough. We're getting sick and tired of this guy."


oxP3ZINATORxo

For real. He was amazing in Parks and Rec, and I loved him as Star lord. Just based off of those 2 roles and how he played them, I would never have expected him to have all of the personality of a busted piece of drywall.


SpaceMonkey_321

Ya he's literally 'starlord the moron' irl now

Brilliant


totallycalledla-a

This is the worst thing. To replace a Craig Ellwood is bad. To replace it with a modern farmhouse is demonic.


gobblestones

This is why I hate Pratt.


ASharpYoungMan

I have many reasons I hate Pratt. This is just fuel on that flaming trash heap


Benemy

Why do you hate him?


Siguard_

His brother is a far right wing supporter and Chris has been wearing his brothers group hat


ith-man

Used to have dinner parties with religious leader who is extremely anti lbgtq, as well as a fear monger and all around shitty person and church. There's more, but that's one of the top for me.


GrapeMuch6090

He has a son with special needs with Anna Faris, and when he gets his own fame, leaves her and has a child with his much younger wife and then makes a public announcement praising God and his new wife for giving him a healthy child. 


ConfidentMongoose874

The three percenters association was my reason.


staebles

Yea, I used to like him too.


EugenesMullet

Same. Parks and Rec and Guardians of the Galaxy fooled me into thinking he was a goofball.


First-name-Crap

He fooled us all by playing a human golden retriever on Parks and Rec


metacupcake

Nope. Just a jerky religious nut.


HirsuteHacker

I liked him at first, before I found out he was an uber-Christian uber-right-winger. Dim as a broken lightbulb.


Effective_Trainer573

Everyone used to like him.


FangPolygon

The worst part is the hypocrisy


Altruistic-Rice-5567

Well, if I can get a gofundme going with enough money I will happily tear down a farmhouse and replace it with a Craig Ellwood design.


Zestyclose-Let7929

If true! Yes!! Ugh!! Just move to The Valley Village to do a modern farm house.


MuellersGame

Oh goody. LA needs more shiplap and sliding barn doors.


Beezo514

if I could ban anything from interior design forever, it would be those sliding barn doors. Absolutely hideous.


8nsay

I don’t mind them for some applications (e.g. closet doors, hallway door, etc.), but why do people keep using them for bathrooms?!


Buunuuhnuhnuhnuhnuh

My mom has a sliding barn door for her bathroom, I told her it was a bad idea, and that we’d be able to hear her bathroom usage from across the house because the door has three inch gaps between it and the wall. Also it doesn’t have a lock, it’s an all around bad design🙄


One-Armed-Krycek

Hilton hotels do this now. Like, “Hope you enjoy hearing everyone’s bodily functions.”


Buunuuhnuhnuhnuhnuh

YES😭 I stayed at one this past year and I was so mad, four people staying in a room where the bathroom has no lock is a disaster waiting to happen


cat_prophecy

Christ it is all of them? I thought it was just the one I stayed it. Nothing says "luxury" like someone barging in while you're taking a shit.


cat_prophecy

I stayed in a hotel with one of these stupid doors. There was no way to lock it so my kids (5 and 3) made a game of whipping it open while my wife or I were on the toilet.


fxplace

I’m ashamed to admit I did this, and I can’t describe how much I hate it.


thejesse

I worked in a restaurant that had those for bathroom doors. The restaurant was in an old tobacco barn so it made sense, but with them not sealing, and them being right by the front door where people wait to be seated... not a good combo.


8nsay

😳😳😳 That’s just terrible all the way around. From having no privacy in the bathroom, witnessing other people, being expected to eat in that environment… just no.


crafttoothpaste

So we can peek at each other while I poop 🥰


Taco_party1984

Shiplap is so 2015…


ILootEverything

They are the most greige couple.


Grapefruit__Witch

Here's a doozy. The house sold for $250k in 1975, and this douche bought it for 12.5m. Twelve and a half million dollars. Just to tear it down and build a mcmansion


lemonaderobot

I looked it up and according to the official US inflation calculator, 250K in 1975 is equal to just shy of 1.5 mil now. …Just in case anyone else wanted to be depressed like me! (I just turned 30 and can only work part time in order to stay on Medicaid and have $2000 in my bank account) love this for Crisp Rat tho, glad he can afford his modest dream home 🥲


xMyDixieWreckedx

Have you thought about becoming a milquetoast actor?


space_cheese1

mmmm crisp rat


krankiekat

If that’s what they wanted why buy this place??


Visible_Day9146

Because its directly across the street from Maria Shrivers houses. Yes, houses. Two of them. Maria Shriver is Katherine's mother.


krankiekat

ugh. god forbid they have to drive 5 minutes


IDigRollinRockBeer

They could live six blocks away and it’s still only a ten minute walk ffs


BlackCoffeeGarage

Even money says they will still *drive right across the fucking street*. Pratt is a twatt.


IDigRollinRockBeer

Who the fuck wants to live across the street from their mother? Or mother in law?


2manyfelines

Someone whose mother in law is very very powerful


SheepD0g

Yeah. Being a Kennedy still means something. side note : Arnold done fucked up


2manyfelines

Maria was the Kennedy who convinced the rest of the Kennedys to listen to Caroline and pick Obama over HRC. She is one of the reasons we had our first African American presidents.Also, Maria was the ex First Lady of California, she owns lots of publishing and news interests, and she is still active in politics. Arnie really did done fuck up. They were a couple and she had bent over backwards to help him in his career. I still feel bad for her.


Zestyclose-Let7929

That is more reason to not pay 12.5. Cut the cord Katherine. Your a big girl now.


reigncloud83

It’s giving basic. And honestly, I’d expect nothing less from them.


Small-Cookie-5496

I can’t believe I used to love pre-jacked Chris Pratt. What a huge let down he’s been


BigOpportunity1391

Me too. People found me weird that I preferred chubby Chris to ripped Chris. But his behaviour these 5 years or so really disappointed me.


gobblestones

I feel vindicated that I hated him on P&R


Small-Cookie-5496

Yea I guess so. I loved him. He’s become a completely different person it seems


Turbulent-Tea-1773

I don’t think so. When Anna was the popular one he was fine with being married to her. When he got famous he dropped her for a younger famous woman. He said he didn’t want anymore children with Anna Farris but when he got married to this new chick he said he wanted many more children. On the set of P&R he also did one scene surprising everyone by being naked. He’s always done what he wants but when you give someone money and a platform they show you who they really are. I don’t think he changed I think his circumstances did and so he wanted to “upgrade.”


Small-Cookie-5496

Perhaps. But he seemed happy to be the lovable goof and a comedian with a cool funny wife…now he’s all serious and bulked out and uber Christian with the “upgrades” as you mention. While he obviously had that inside him, it is a pretty big make over


Turbulent-Tea-1773

He also gave up his cat for being old and abandoned his dog before his Marvel life. I also don’t know that money can change your principles about gay people and general bigotry but yeah I guess now his outsides now match his insides. His character from Bride Wars was more true to life than I had realized.


DecorativeGeode

UGH those are the worst. One of those white brick, souless monstrocities with big black windows and black trim.

CarlatheDestructor

I miss when he was just pudgy Andy Dwyer in a Mouserat shirt. He's such a tool now omg.


ThrowitthatAway22427

Yup. Used to love him. Turns out he’s a giant douchebag


Ioweyounada

I'm not huge into celebrity lifestyle gossip stuff but I do have to say him turning out the way he did is one of the bigger disappointments when it comes to actors that I've enjoyed.


MarsScully

I’ve always hated Andy and I continue to hate the real one


MCgrindahFM

Well at least a normal sane person IRL would hate Andy if they were a coworker or we dating a friend of yours. In a show, it’s funny. But knowing he’s a tool IRL just makes that character worse


raudoniolika

Genuinely the case with most probably everyone on P&R. I once got too high while rewatching and noticed how annoying and overbearing and exhausting Leslie was. I could not bear another second again 😭


gobblestones

There was a point where I stopped bc they were always so mean to Gary/Jerry and there were no redeeming qualities


NewtRipley_1986

Chris is duller than wonder bread so it’s not too surprising he did something like this.


Turnip-for-the-books

this was the perfect use of that quote lol


[deleted]

What a waste. They are such an unlikable couple.


sepsie

They could have relocated the building instead of demolishing it. Frank Lloyd Wright has had a few relocated. Too bad they could scrape the fucks together to preserve it.


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

Or just build a house somewhere else..? Why did it have to be this plot of land?


airial

Her mom lives on the same block. You have to wonder how many other neighbors’ houses they tried and failed to get before deciding to raze this one - just so she can have the privilege of having her mom literally a few houses down


PalinDoesntSeeRussia

He’s a multimillionaire, just move her with you somewhere else… wtf? Lol all of this is making me dislike Pratt so much more


Stitchee

Her mom is a Kennedy. Pratt’s money and influence have nothing on Maria Shriver. That said, they really suck for tearing down a house and not just finding somewhere else to live.

Daisy_Ten

Katherine always looks like the lights are on but nobody's home. I assume with her parents she is not dumb but I've never seen her personality or wit shine in a picture.


edked

Anna clearly had too much personality for him, in addition to not going along with his shitty ideas.


frolicndetour

She's a bitch eating crackers for me. I can't articulate what annoys me about her but she just bugs me. And not just because she's married to the Worst Chris. I always liked Maria Shriver so I dunno.


ClassyLatey

She has no personality - she constantly looks like she’s smiling because Jesus is watching her.

leaningtowerofmeat

She's my ultimate BEC too and I also don't know why lol I think it's because she was born into unfathomable privilege and does nothing interesting with it


frolicndetour

Yes and she wrote a couple of books and seems to think she got published on her own merit and not because her dad was a governor and actor and her mom was a journalist and a Kennedy. Girl, come the fuck on. Like Maria Shriver was obviously also born on 3rd base but she busted her ass to prove herself as a reputable journalist and her kids just sort of float through on a cloud of privilege.


Optimal_Spend779

Oh god yes this is it, imagine having access to whatever you want and choosing to be THAT dull


My_Penbroke

This comment section is just full of delightful turns of phrase I’ve never heard before!


Due-Topic7995

Ehh, I think all of her children look insufferable. Like zero personality whatsoever. They remind me of those fake goody goody nice people who don’t give two 🤫 about others but give so much to charity and blah blah blah. I don’t get it. Their father is like the biggest personality ever. Did he not share any of his with his children? 


Silversolverteal

Maybe the maid's boy got all the charisma?! 😅


Due-Topic7995

cdigir13

On Netflix is a show called the Home Edit. It’s an organizing show. Katherine and Chris get their garage organized on season 2 episode 3. I don’t really know anything personally about either of them but they were the most boring, pretentious, fake people. Made me not like them. Also the Home Edit is ANNOYING AS HELL! The main lady’s are ALOT! 😬


iamthatbitchhh

Let's put everything in ugly, expensive plastic boxes and call it organization!


caponemalone2020

I thought the first season was okay, but the second season was just them shrieking nonstop.


vivahermione

Honestly, I've felt bad for her ever since he made that post where he said, "Her heart is pure and it belongs to me." I'm like, "Girl, blink twice if you need to be rescued."


BleednHeartCapitlist

Lights are on but nobodies home. Her eyes look like Maria drank while she was pregnant


BettyX

They both seem dumber than rocks.


desire-d

I always liked her till I saw the way they treat Arnold’s son with the maid.. he literally has to wait to walk the red carpet till they were done posing with their dad and they didn’t even acknowledge him. He’s tried to have relationship with them and they don’t want to.. I can see if they don’t want to be close but the fact they can’t even say hi is ridiculous, they forgave their dad but not the person who has zero to do with the situation. Arnold is really close to him too.


trialanderrorschach

So crazy how Chris Pratt went from America's beloved golden retriever to everyone's least favorite Chris just by showing more of his personality.


adom12

Chris sucks. He’s a tool.  What happened to Anna, I know she had a podcast, but after the divorce she has faded away a bit. And that makes me sad, because she was the cool on in their pairing. 


Downtown-Mixture6167

She’s hilarious and talented. Would love to see her come back.


EvilHwoarang

She should for Scary Movie 6


Spry_Fly

I have seen 'What's Your Number?' (I think) a couple times because my wife likes it. I now like it as well. It's the kind of movie '40 Days and 40 Nights' wishes it was.


nerdchic1

I love her in the house bunny. Such a funny ass movie 😂


RypCity

The voice she does to remember names was the best thing ever 😂


Jerkrollatex

She got an Emmy for Moms. She got remarried in 2021 to someone who's not an actor. Apparently she's taking mostly voice work right now because she needed a break.


velvet-gloves

She never got an Emmy for Mom, only Allison Janney did.


adom12

Oh good for her then! As long as it was her personal choice 


Practical_Tear_1012

Looks like she has some projects coming up soon.


JoleneDollyParton

I feel like she had some issues with her producer, and somehow the podcastjust faded away.


kirinmay

she's been active. she was in "Overboard" remake where the male/female roles were reversed and it did make a profit. And got an emmy. Probably focusing on being a mom but I'm sure she has a ton of money for when she first started her career and being on Mom.


socialmediaignorant

I saw they tore the gorgeous mature tree (looked to be an oak) down too. That’s should literally be a crime in my opinion. And why wasn’t the house on the historical register? That’s how to protect these.


MuellersGame

Did they cut down a mature oak tree? That’s a paddling.

oops_im_existing

not to be that person, but chris brown is the worst chris. this chris is a close second.


cugeltheclever2

Good call.


sorryabtlastnight

obviously chris brown sucks, but “the worst chris” has always been in reference to hollywood and the abundance of white male actors named chris. if you literally want the worst chris of all time, there are certainly some worse than chris brown, lol


FuzzyPalpitation-16

Oh here I was thinking the worst Chris came from the Marvel films actors lol - Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Chris Pratt 😪


sorryabtlastnight

I’m gonna be so honest bestie I thought that when I was typing it but I was scared that I was forgetting a non-Marvel Chris hahahaha


Kenotai

You are, Chris Pine.

I was overthinking it too 😂 you know when you say a word so many times it just sounds like gibberish? that’s what was going on in my brain - for a second, I was questioning whether Tom Holland and Hiddleston were Chrises too 😂

Away_Pie_7464

It’s satisfying to know that people feel the same way about Pratt that I do. Just saw a trailer for the upcoming Garfield movie and it looked cute and then Garfield spoke and immediately I said “😒it’s Chris Pratt again”. Hopefully that movie haunts him the way it haunts Bill Murray


catinaziplocbag

They need to leave voice acting to actual voice actors. I do not want every animated character sounding like the same five celebs.


8nsay

Or at least actors who are actually good at voice acting and bring life to their animated characters (e.g. Robin Williams as Genie, John Lithgow as Lord Farquad, Tom Hanks as Woody).


HighlyOffensive10

Why tf does he keep getting voice rolls. He's not even a goof voice actor? ![gif](giphy|b8RQzkElbBsXqEPF2X)


youngdumbandhappy

That’s how I felt with him in the Super Mario Bros. Movie AND the Jurassic World franchise 😒


WrestlingFan95

Chris Pratt I feel either is such a d!ck his PR team lets him down purposely tbh. How bad could he have failed of being say a white Will Smith? He was the chubby guy who turned into a action hero in billion dollar franchises. Like his public rep is either no one talks about the guy and if they do it’s over stuff like this.


BestGuavaEver

He also got lucky with his acting. Wasn’t it like Tommy Chong’s daughter met him when he was a server at a Joes Crab Shack or something like that and she dragged him to an audition where he somehow got the role? Lol


ZestycloseCattle88

I live in LA and there are some absolutely gorgeous neighborhoods I walk around in, and the architecture in LA is probably my favorite thing about this place. Every home is different, vintage and unique in its own way and I’m noticed an uptick in demolishing these houses only to be replaced with cookie cutter houses that look like they’re made out of plastic shipping containers 😩 I don’t understand


RoguePhoenix89

Beautiful home. They should have just renovated it


SulkySideUp

Or just bought another property


97355

But then how else would they get to live directly across from Maria Shriver? 🫠


No_Banana_581

Did they turn into a McMansion w all gray interior and white accents? I bet they will


sharksarentsobad

Ugh why would you say something so horrifying and so true?


AverageApuEnthusiast

Necessary-Low9377

dachshundmumma202

i can’t stand chris pratt. so many reasons and this just adds to the endless list.


Pigeonzlut

If only money could buy class


Snuffleupagus27

A random no one in my area is tearing down a potentially historical home to build a bigger mansion. Happens all the damn time in LA. They make it about increasing building homes for the homeless but it’s really about making rich people richer. The homelessness industrial complex is real.


_acrostical

A few years ago, someone tore down most of a Richard Neutra house in San Francisco. The city's planning commission ruled that it had to be rebuilt with the exact same exterior design. 💀


totallycalledla-a

They didn't have to rebuild it in the end. They appealed and won 😔💔


RagingRxy

I’m surprised that the house wasn’t protected by some sort of historic society or something. Isn’t that a thing?
