Cool dude, you've identified that big corporations data farm.

Random bloke user with a vendetta still doesn't know who I am, and that's who I'm more worried about on the personal scale.

Not allowing reviews on the storefront seems minor, but is in fact an aggressively anti-consumer move given the standards of the industry. They've got other issues too, but that one gets ignored way too often for me to not mention

My friend, I regret to inform you that you are misunderstanding the meme

My tiktok account is also anonymous.

That feels entirely an aside to the conversation of opportunities for established vs unknown actors, aside from that both things are at the behest of shareholders. If you for any reason thought I didn't have more ire for and assign vastly greater blame to the executives and shareholders, allow me to alleviate that concern. Yes, the problem of lack of opportunities for lesser knowns is moreso a problem of studio and shareholder expectations than just individual actor greed, but still both parties share some level of culpability.

Maybe. But I'd rather see a no-name with student debt deliver a 9.2 performance in a lead role than see a near-billionaire deliver a perfect 10.0 performance in the same role, 10 out of 10 times. I understand that is a matter of preference and personal priorities, however.

Because the Rock is probably already half a billionaire; he doesn't need any more fucking money.

If they want to work for free, fine, whatever. Otherwise, let other people enjoy some opportunities for once.

Yeah sorry I'm not gonna feel bad about criticizing Hollywood's least charismatic nepo-baby whose presence is taking job opportunities away from actors who pursued the career the right way rather than merely having the right parents and connections.

I think it's important to make the distinction that not wishing fame, fortune, and incredible opportunities for somebody is not the same as wishing ill on them. I don't want her to suffer some poor fate, I don't want her to get in any way harmed, I don't her to be miserable. I just don't want undeserving stiff acting being rewarded with fame and wealth when other vastly more deserving people could be taking those roles. I hope she has a wonderful life as a regional manager at In & Out, for example.

And yes, I feel this way about all nepo babies.

And frankly, actors in general; once you've made your mark on the industry and secured a comfortable wealth for you and your family, retire and allow those opportunities to go to others, but obviously that's vastly less egregious than people being raised to pinnacle of culture just for coming out of the right vagina.

Whoa, are you trying to tell me that the awful guy who actively preyed on people's fears and insecurities while furthering dangerous assumptions and stereotypes was actually a self-serving grifter this whole time and not a real champion of personal freedom?

I saw René (Odo) in an off-Broadway show called "Dance of the Vampire" awhile back.

The show was kind of a weird shitshow, but René was great in it (admittedly I didn't know he was in it in advance; we went because my friend was a fan of the star, Michael Crawford).

Here's some reviews of René's performance in the show I found online so folk know I'm not just talking shit:
