Today in “Vin Diesel, Unlikely Voice of Reason,” our favorite gravel-throated pterodactyl choker was asked an asinine, irrelevant question about Batman during his asinine, irrelevant press tour for “Riddick.” Painted into a corner, he gave the best answer possible:
INTERVIEWER: I wanna know, Vin… what you think about all the haters who are hating on a Ben Affleck Batman movie.
VIN DIESEL: (long groan)
WHITE: Do you like that choice? For Batman?
VIN DIESEL: I don’t give a FUCK about Batman. Or who plays Batman.
(*crowd goes wild*)
See, folks? THAT’S how you answer an asinine press tour interview. With brutal honesty and a smile. Vin’s too busy living life a quarter mile at a time to sweat the small stuff.
I love this.

I never let anyone post for me in the last four years.”
In short, the perfect place for us to understand Vin Diesel's innermost thoughts. So, what does Vin Diesel give a fuck about? Vin Diesel gives a fuck about…
