        Since becoming a father, I stopped using child as an insult. My child, still two, actually learns from his mistakes and feels bad when he does something wrong.

          So, you had to wait until it impacted you to realize how unfair it was?

          Just giving you shit, but as a schoolmarm I can confirm that adults are much shittier than kids

            That’s because adults are more imaginative. My cousin who’s a total dick now as an adult, was also a total dick as a kid. He just was easier to deal with because his dickness was less sophisticated.

    That’s unfortunate, I liked Oppenheimer. Always sucks to find out someone involved was a total dickweasel.

      Really? Even Family Guy has been making fun of his for his racist rants for like 20 years at this point. He’s like famously one of the biggest dipshits in Hollywood

        Family Guy talks a lot of smack about a lot of people I have literally never heard of, and would have to look up.

    James Woods basically having Disney turn Hades into his personal self-insert character actually makes the parts of Kingdom Hearts where you beat the shit out of him that much more rewarding

      Oppenheimer has been out for a long time. It is what James Woods is most known for. Boycotting will not have much effect anymore. Maybe his next work.

        If a bit over a year is a “long time” then I’m a lot older than you lol.

        It is what James Woods is most known for

        uh, whhhat? that is certainly not true. I’ve known of him for like 20 years as a (shitty) actor and had no clue he was involved with Oppenheimer whatsoever, despite seeing that movie in the theater. From IMBD:

        In some ways, the executive producer isn’t super involved anyhow. My understanding is that they just drum up money and try to persuade suits that a picture should be made. I’m sure he got paid 100 times his worth though…

            I am guessing you’re younger than me :)

            The Virgin Suicides, for example, was pretty popular and well known to me and my circle.

          I doubt any of those movies are currently more known than Oppenheimer. The listed movies have James Woods participating as an actor. Whereas with Oppenheimer, James was bankrolling it. Executive producers can have more influence than producers. It depends whether they decide to be hands-on or only see the movie as an investment.

            Oppenheimer may be well known, but I don’t know if anybody had any idea it was produced by James Woods. He’s not known for that movie by any stretch.

            You can see right there in the IMDB screenshot they use the same language you did (“known for”). I think IMDB has their finger on the pulse of how people talk about entertainment. Many people in the movie industry are most known for things from years ago but still work frequently. Like would you say Christopher Lloyd is most known for whatever semi-popular thing from the last couple of years he had a role in, or Back to the Future?

            You are right that EP’s vary in involvement, but even if I had known he was EP in that film, I still would’ve had the same question I originally asked.
