One of the users wrote, "That explains his film selection over the past few years. But makes sense, in his desperation to build financial stability for himself, he missed the forest for the trees. He could have made so much more money if he'd preserved his brand. I say this as a huge fan."

Another user said, "I wasn't ready for this much realness in the morning."
