F*cking spare me. It's a business based entirely on make-believe and every single one of these people is a goddamn degenerate.

Although really blunt, mrmaczaps is probably right when he said '90% of hollyweird are creepy perverted kid diddling high brow a$$holes that couldn't care less about the average viewer as long as they get paid'. I remember when people boycotted Chick Fil A due to homophobia circa 2012 or so, and this one girl I knew online declared she'd never eat there again, and she'd exclusively go to Popeyes. I posited that, for all she knew, the owners of Popeyes could be sacrificing kittens in a satanic ritual every night. She blew her top at me over it, saying that it just wasn't possible. Popeyes were 'good guys' compared to CFA...for some reason. The point I'm trying to make is that you never know what goes on behind closed doors, especially when it comes to these celebrities.

Everything would still be exactly the same as it is; nobody who thought the Fantastic Beasts sequel sucked said, "But Johnny Depp could've saved it." Not one person thinks that. If anything, it'd be one more clunker he has his name stuck on.

Actually, after the trial, I've been seeing that ridiculous rhetoric lately. "I bet WB regrets not keeping John-John on! Because they fired him, the Fantastic Beasts movie flopped!" Come on, people.

I really wish people would stop concerning themselves with the personal lives of minstrels, and simply compartmentalized Art from The Artist the way they like to pretend they do. As I've said, I care more about the movies they make than I do any of these assholes as people. So when the movies get screwed up on account of petty nonsense (and in turn, the common rabble's morbid fascination with said petty nonsense), I find it supremely aggravating.

Sadly, this is how it is going to be moving forward. Same thing happened with Kevin Spacey, and the like. Welcome to Hollywood in 20... Well, not '22 since this has been going on long before now. Ugh.

Ah well. One more DC movie to skip. I guess that's okay, I can just ignore the entire franchise now altogether! It was admittedly kinda weird being like, "I don't really care about any of it... but I guess Aquaman 2 might be good." Now there's no outlier! "It all looks like sh*t!" That's kinda awesome, I guess.

I wasn't going to see this anyhow, but dang. It just sucks that studios are bending over backwards for left or right wing keyboard warriors. Like I said, this has been a thing long before this situation with Heard and Depp, though this one's pretty bad in particular, if you ask me.
