Let this be the end of Shia LaBeouf


It's annoying that Shia LaBeouf has staged a bit of a comeback. For years he would seemingly damage his career by committing some violent crime, then he would retreat into conceptual "art", then go back into acting like nothing had happened. Now he's made a movie with an Israeli director, a pathetic sob story about how terrible it was before he became a wealthy child star.

Most of us have gone through life having never been arrested. Most of us will go to our graves having never attacked anyone with a knife or being in a drunk driving accident. Not counting the actual rapists, he's worse than most of the #MeToo guys.

I finally saw him in Nymphomaniac. There was nothing special there. He was up for Armie Hammer's role in Call Me By Your Name but investors put their foot down. They didn't need him fouling up their movie. And they were right. Look what he during the filming of Peanut Butter Falcon. He was in another movie that only sold one ticket when it was shown in British theaters. They released it on home video at the same time, but you had to pay to see it that way, too.

His career should have ended years ago.
