I don't open tmz's website 'cuz my virus protection don't care for it. Is this Latino actor someone we've heard of? Or someone trying to get free name recognition?

John Leguizamo.

Never heard of him.
I've heard of him. Seen in a few movies. Never a star. More like about the 4th or 5th most seen character in the movie. Almost always plays some sort of not so bright role.

I looked a little bit more into what he said. Sound like some video paparazzi yelled a question at him. It's interesting that Leguizamo is talking about representation in a cartoon. Myself, I've never seen the big deal with having Hollywood Movie Stars be the voice of characters. I never notice that it's a celebrity doing the voice of The Magnificent Mole Man.

Well, I'm not quite sure John Leguizamo's call for a boycott is working out for him.

This weekend belonged to “The Super Mario Bros. Movie,” which is primed to be the first movie of 2023 to cross $1 billion globally. After two weekends in theaters, it’s already the highest-grossing film of the year,

A woke-y goes into Target to demand reparations.

If those who are against reparations had any grey matter between their ears, here's what they should do:

Find some people who had ancestors that were persecuted over in Europe or whatever. Start class action suits against the countries they came from.

Or those who lost loved ones in WW2 sue Germany and Japan for reparations.

That would put a screeching halt to all of it.
