he sounds like a r/boxoffice poster

I'm so irritated at what that sub's become. It was a nice escape from r/movies, but I guess it was over once it started gaining in popularity.

He probably is one lol

[corrykennedy]

both movies look like garbage

team no one

The only one I've seen is Beauty and the Beast and it was atrocious. Emma Watson was sooooo miscast.

That last line is super passive aggressive and almost feels…like a dog whistle? Am I being paranoid? Like I remember him expressing disappointment that Aladdin didn’t get a sequel, and now he’s all “TLM won’t do as well as mine did, but it’ll probably get a sequel anyway.” What the hell are you trying to say, sir???

Glad I’m not the only one! I’m gonna side eye him forever for this but I’m choosing to not read into it any further.

people also dug up a tweet from a year ago where he said (unprompted) Black people are the highest represented minority in Hollywood while North Africans are the least represented so I'm also getting dog whistle vibes

Why are you doing this to yourself? Embarrassing

To quote Cardi B: What was the reason?!
