Ben Affleck's behaviour ruined Justice League for me. Huge Batman fan and now I won't see it in theatres. Beyond that??? Separating art and artist doesn't work for me.

'I can seperate the art from the artist' to me just translate as 'I don't let my morals get in the way of my self-indulgence'.

Did Affleck grab somebodies ass?

That's quite profound actually. Did Caligula say that?

There's a whole thread about it in the TV/Film side of things here.

Not really. I suppose I tend to see myself more in characters than I do actors, the sole exception being Bogart. There are actors, however, that have delivered performances that engaged me in every single role I've seen them play to date (i.e. Stanley Tucci).

Separating the artist from the art is more than a notion.

I generally tend to avoid actors/directors political opinion and their politics but some stuff is just so stupid and crazy you can not ignore

I can agree here

I think we can also adjust the way we consume our entertainment, and also stop putting celebrities up on pedestals
