  • That’s a valid question and I’ll try to give you an honest answer. It’s certainly easier to boycott works of specific actors, writers, or directors, than it is producers, though I try. I have undoubtedly watched movies from Weinstein’s production company without realizing, as you noted, his catalogue is enormous. Though if I’m aware of Weinstein’s involvement in a project beforehand, then I try to steer clear.

    I guess I boycott on a case-by-case basis. It’s a lot harder to boycott full production companies than it is individuals.

    That being said, there’s a reason I haven’t watched Chinatown despite hearing how great it is, or Shakespeare in Love, or American Beauty, etc. It’s also why I lost complete interest in Harry Potter and ignored Hogwarts Legacy. And going back to Neil Gaiman, I have several of his books, comics, and enjoyed most of his film and TV adaptations, but now thinking about any of his work leaves an unpleasant taste in my mouth.



  • Yeah, that’s not too surprising given the strong allegations against Neil Gaiman. While I enjoyed Dead Boy Detectives for what it was, I don’t particularly want to watch or read anything Gaiman has a hand with now.

    I just wonder how Sandman and Good Omens will be handled. I can’t imagine either show being scrapped at this point given the fact that both have been in production for so long, though I would be shocked if they were renewed for additional seasons.
