The liberal ones tend to be the loudest. There are others behind the scenes who are not liberal and just focus on their work.
“The only way to send the pretenders a message is to stop watching their movies and avoid watching any self aggrandizing awards shows - like the Tony Awards. Who needs actors anyway?”
Retreat and isolation is certainly an option. I think we need to find ways to get our message heard within these institutions that the liberals have taken over. However I don’t know exactly how to do that.
Ask yourself this — if the tables were turned — would the liberals just retreat and stop watching movies? I submit they would loudly fight if movies and award ceremonies were full of conservative messages.
These Hollywood idiots keep turning off “middle America” with their histrionics.
All it does it gain more support for our side.
De Niro's delusion is not meaningful but a standing ovation is a problem. The reason it is a problem is that simple minded people find solace in their hero's political agenda.
There seems to have been an actual decline in rational thinking.
The United States has become a place where entertainers and professional athletes were mistaken for people of importance.
They are idolized and treated as leaders; their opinions were sought on everything and they took themselves just as seriously. After all, if an athlete is paid a million or more a year, he knows he is important so his opinions of foreign affairs and domestic policies must be important, too, even though he proves himself to be ignorant and sub-literate every time he opens his mouth.

Since we discovered about 9 months ago that our amazon prime membership gave us access to thousands of movies and TV shows from the last 70+ years, we’ve made a spectacular discovery:
Most of it is not worth watching. I don’t mean it’s not very good. I mean it is TERRIBLE and not worth your time. It’s especially fun to peruse “free” science fiction movies. Try it some time. It’s like the stuff was made for drive in movies and they expected that the poor quality would motivate the couple watching it to, after the first ten minutes or so, start making out and forget about the movie.
But it’s not just Sci-Fi.
Oddly, some of the old movies and TV shows are timeless and still excellent entertainment. The core stories in the old Twilight Zone episodes are not only excellent, but it’s pretty easy to see where some modern stuff has ripped it off. That being said, many of them were recorded on high quality black and white film but expected to be viewed on poor quality TV screens. Flaws in the sets, easy to see on a modern flat screen, become almost comical.

Withhold entertainment dollars....It’s gotta work

I would like to think that a conservative would not act in the boorish and vulgar way DeNiro did at an awards show (where he as a film actor did not belong, to give an award to a rock and roller who should not have been considered a “broadway show”, but I digress). If DeNiro was addressing the DNC, or some private ‘rat function, I would not be bothered. I just cannot see how the audience allowed him to speak that way at an occasion that was supposed to have some dignity and class. If I were in the audience in 2009 and some conservative performer (yes, I know, oxymoron) made the same remarks about President Obama I would have gotten up and left, or at least started to boo such a classless performance. The left is unhinged.
Stopped going to Hollywood movies years ago.
Can’t wait until CGI makes actors obsolete.
Might be an interesting expose’ some time in the future to publicly list how many of the Hollywood Morons gave money to Hillary *AFTER* it was shown what a criminal (and possibly traitor) she was.
Such donations Should be in public records no ?
I have found myself avoiding movies, tv shows and theaters with certain ‘pretenders’ aka actors, because all I want is to be entertained, not shamed or ridiculed because of my beliefs, politics and religion.
