A conservative street artist is mocking Hollywood's biggest night, using fake Redbox kiosks and a line from a Quentin Tarantino movie to bash Sunday night's Oscar show.
Sabo, an artist who has made a name for himself with real-looking movie posters that skewer liberalism, plastered his latest creations all over Hollywood and Highland, a stone's throw from where celebrities will be walking the red carpet.
In the dead of night Thursday and early Friday morning, Sabo plastered his posters all over town, in hard-to-reach places where they look like genuine advertisements.
"All those assholes make are unwatchable movies from unreadable books," says one large poster containing a giant image of an Oscar statuette. The text was borrowed from Tarantino's True Romance. Sabo also created ads for Redbox and even built some replicas of the movie rental service's iconic kiosks. (snip)
Sabo, though, says he's not only unimpressed with most movies nowadays, he's also infuriated with what he considers the mistreatment of President Donald Trump by many celebrities.
"I'm pissed off at Hollywood and it's outspoken liberal actors enough to not want to spend what a theater asks, and that is my way of keeping as much of my money from going into Hollywood's pockets," he said.
In the past, Sabo has used his street art to attack Leonardo DiCaprio, Cher, Lena Dunham, Hillary Clinton and many more, and he sells his politically conservative work at his website.

The Redbox fake is not at Hollywood/Highland but the asshole poster is. Redbox fake is located on Sunset. It was there this lunchtime..
Now that is funny.....not to mention talented
I love Sabo
He did the Hillary flying monkey posters, plastered them all over LA during the campaigns.
Hate speech!!(/s)
If something’s hateful,
and yet it’s a fact,
it’s a Hate Fact!
There’s a conservative in hollywood?
I like much of Sabo’s public displays, but with this one, I wish he had not used the word ‘Assholes’ in a fully public venue. We shouldn’t forget that kids see and repeat everything they see. Sabo produced some clever work during the last election season without using such language.
I’m sure he could give a hoot about what my opinion is.
Got to love this guy
That is too funny!!!
HOORAY Sabo
