JK Rowling is the definition of performative wokeness, this comes as absolutely no surprise.

Just put Colin Farrell in ugly makeup, that wasn’t a hard choice.

being completely fair to Rowling, isn't the Depp thing waaaaaay hairier than the stories initially made it look? I remember hearing rumblings that Heard was also beating Depp, not just the other way around, and never cared to really look further because I stopped giving a poo poo about Depp years ago

No. And it's also insane that Heard had to release pictures of herself with bruises and cut lip and donate the money she got out of Depp to a charity in order to get people to believe that she was abused.

Rowling is the "sensible centrist" and as a Labour party member her stuff at the last election was shocking. gently caress her.

...huh, I'm googling now and it seems like the stuff about Heard beating him too was either all smoke or deliberate misdirection from Depp's PR stuff that's since been scrubbed from the internet. yeah, gently caress Rowling for keeping him on, they should have replaced him with Christopher Plummer

I used to think Johnny Depp was super gorgeous and sexy and I went out of my way to watch everything I could find that he was in. In my defense, I was also 12 and Pirates of the Caribbean had just come out.

Thankfully, I stopped watching things specifically for him many years ago. Otherwise, I might have had to see Mortecai. I also recall reading somewhere that he was initially going to play Ralph Fienne's role in The Grand Budapest Hotel, which would have been absolutely horrible.

Seeing that Depp is going to be in a film makes me not want to see it, these days, and that’s not even factoring in the wife beating.

It's funny...

You were so scary at night.
Like most actors who get old and rich and up-their-own-rear end Depp is lazy as gently caress in movies these days and makes extremely boring or annoying choices. I actually kinda dig Transcendence, so that's probably the last movie of his I enjoyed, but it helps that he spends the major chunk of the film as a computer program.

Also, he's a piece of poo poo.

It's really funny in Fantastic Beasts when Farrell turns into Depp because it almost seemed deliberate, like they were trying to toss out what little interest I may have still had by that point.

I remember the movie theater made a collective "eugh" noise when Colin Ferrell, who was doing a great job, got replaces by Johnny Depp who was done up almost the the point of parody.

Culturally? First Pirates. Work-wise? Agent Sands in Once Upon A Time In Mexico is pretty good, but that's just him basically playing a pretty-boy American douchebag, so

I genuinely don't get why they made him look so loving ridiculous for the role.

Knowing Depp he probably insisted on as many silly accoutrements as he could get.
