It's definitely not okay but I think, if the allegations are true, it amounts to Casey Affleck just being an asshole. If we are going to start ignoring actors work because of rumors of them being assholes, we will have nothing to watch. He doesn't deserve to be lumped in with someone like Bill Cosby, whose allegations are truly sinister.
It isn't something that is unforgivable. I would put it in the same category as Mel Gibson. He was going through a rough time, abusing alcohol and/or drugs and said some truly despicable things. Years later, hopefully he has learned the error of his ways. Actually I would say Gibson is a bit worse since he was drunk driving -- could have killed someone! I guess the difference is Affleck hasn't admitted what he did was wrong and that he feels bad now. So he could still be just as horrible of a person... or maybe he just didn't do it.
No, not all movies are supposed to bring joy. Obviously. The fact that you need to be told that says it all.
Adjust home video for deflation. Selling 5.5 million now is like selling 20 million in 2008.
