Thank you, Disney for continually reiterating that having money doesn't make one smarter, more creative, or more capable. Fucking hilarious shit.

    JJ Abrams is the biggest hack in hollywood, and that is really saying something

      Being third generation Hollywood royalty explains it all.

        Every. Single. Time.

        I remember being surprised when I found out Carrie Fisher only got into Hollywood because her mother was Debbie Reynolds. Then, time and time again, I found that famous actors didn't get their parts because they were great actors, but because they were blood relatives of other Hollywood people. It was my first introduction to the insular world that elites create for themselves, and how they hypocritically preach the opposite of what they practice themselves.

          Yes. I know plenty of aspiring writers and creatives who get rejected all the time because somebody's failson wanted to take a shot at being 'self-made.'

          As a general rule, if I can go on Wikipedia and find out who your grandparents are, it's a coin toss whether or not you're a piece of shit. If they have their own Wikipedia page, you definitely are.

      He's fine at directing and does solid videography. But he's an absolute dogshit writer.
