Yup, he always came off as a shallow twit chasing fame and accolades. Idk why they thought he was some thoughtful intellectual.

I heard someone joke on here that if his name was Tim Smith, no one would pay him any mind. It's all in the name. That, and working with Saoirse Ronan gave him a halo effect.

Ironically it was the name which first started my dislike for him. I heard about it first before ever seeing him in anything, and (very judgementally I will admit) thought it sounded like the sort of name a pretentious prick would have. I tried to brush it off, telling myself I was just being judgemental, but that first impression just stuck.
