Luiz Fernando@Luiz_Fernando_JIn a fair world, this man’s name would have been banned from the industry by now. The most despicable Studio exec who I hope is remembered for his evil role in the demise of WB as we knew it. Still blows my mind how the industry still protects him until the very end. Go to hell with your farewells and the $1B+ you got out of this deal and I truly hope we will NEVER hear from you again.2h
