    this is kinda ironic as his latest movie is chock FULL of vfx, practically every single frame.

    I love his work, and don’t necessarily disagree with the premise, but feel this is kind of tone deaf.

      He’s not the one making the movies though, he’s an actor. I don’t like what my company does but it’s not like they’re asking me what I think

        he’s an actor.

        yeah, he’s an actor in a film that’s chock fulla visual spectacle. and he’s in a position to pick and choose the parts he wants, the guy’s a legend, he’s not being forced to work on projects he doesn’t believe in.
