Great line! :)
I am right there with you!
Been doing it for years
I’ve been boycotting Hollyweird for probably two decades now - I think the last movie I saw in a theater/paid money for was “The Ghost & the Darkness” (1996). Lately, it’s gotten so bad, I have a hard time picking a free movie on TV to watch - the so-called actors/actresses are associated so strongly in my mind with their political hate speech that they have lost their ability to transform into the characters they are trying to portray. As for the awards shows, I have never & will never watch them.
I haven’t been to a theater since the mid 1980s.
It must be targeted and well communicated so as to be measurable. Something like pick an upcoming movie release that we might actually see, and stay home. Like Avatar 2, though the target should be well deserved by linkage to particular personalities. Then we can say, “not this movie”, no attendance, no merchandise, no nada. Then measure and see if we even register.
Never! I love the movies.

That's the way to do it. Download their movie and watch it for free. All of the academy award nominees are already out there for your viewing pleasure. Even for free the only one worth watching was Hacksaw Ridge and that was made by and had Conservatives in it.
First of all, I doubt DiNero has ever punched anyone in the face. He believes he is the character he plays. In other words, like all liberal actors, he is not living in reality.
Second, like the Dixie Chicjs, Hollywood believes they Can say anything they want but you should be forced to support them.
So what movie has only James Woods, and nobody else, in it?
It’s not a bad idea, but to work there needs to some type of organization. Whenever a new film is released, there needs to be widespread counter-publicity telling the public about the political views of the stars involved, and urging those who object to those views to boycott the film. Films cost so much money these days that no bank is going to back film in the face of that sort of prospective boycott. Very soon those actors who take these positions will find themselves unhireable.
Been boycotting them for twenty years. C’mon in, the water’s fine.

I only go to the movies for the popcorn. My money would be better spent on a movie popcorn machine and butter. Look at all the gas I’ll save not driving to the theaters.
As if anybody would notice...
PIERS MORGAN INSIGHTFULLY OBSERVED: “Streep began her laceration of Pres Trump by saying that Hollywood, foreigners, and the press are ‘the most vilified segments of American society' today. At which point, the cameras panned out to hundreds of the richest, most privileged people in American society in their $10,000 tuxedos and $20,000 designer dresses, loudly cheering this acknowledgement of their 'dreadful victimhood.'
Just goes to show..... liberals are never more jubilant than when they're in the "consecrated state of victimhood."
Ask their shrinks...... the only time liberals feel really good about themselves....is when they become "victims."
Lordy, one can just imagine the celebrations after Streep informed plain old Americans like us that THEY....the Hollyood luminaries.... are the real victims.
I can almost hear the champagne corks pop at their victimhood celebrations.....held in their 20 million dollar beach cottages in Malibu.
I already boycott Hollywood. But I think Silicon Valley is a greater threat by far than obsolete Hollywood.
Get uTorrent.
Watch stuff on YouTube or DailyMotion.
Or buy your media from garage sales.
Cut the cable cord.
And don’t think because you have kids that it doesn’t count when you buy all of that Disney crap for them to watch.
I try to give Hollywood as little of my money as humanly possible.
A famous case involved Robert wagner and his then-wife Natalie wood filing suit against Sony Pictures Entertainment claiming they were entitled to profits made from the two Charlie’s Angels movies due to a deal he made on the development of the 1970s television series, Reuters reports.
The lawsuit details how Wagner and his late wife, actress Natalie Wood, became financially attached to ABC’s original Charlie’s Angels series when they agreed to star in a 1974 TV movie called The Affair for producers Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg. According to Reuters, the contract gave the acting couple part interest in proposals for five TV shows that Spelling-Goldberg Productions pitched to ABC for the 1974-1975 season, including Charlie’s Angels, which ran from 1976 to 1981.
Pursuant to the terms of the original contract, Wagner claims Sony–which has since assumed all rights to the series from Spelling’s production company–has refused to pay him his share of the profits from the 2000 film Charlie’s Angels, which made $125 million in the U.S., and its 2003 sequel Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle, which opened late June and has made $67 million so far.
Reuters reports the lawsuit asks the court to require Sony to include profits from the films in calculating Wagner‘s share of net profits for the TV series, and to turn over all information and financial records regarding the making of the movies. (source: hoollyood.com)
=============================================
Another shady player is Frank Giustra founder of "Lions Gate Entertainment." Giustra a billionaire gold mining mogul, later got involved w/ the Clintons.
A rags-to-riches multi-millionaire who normally shuns publicity, Giustra made his fortune as a stockbroker before “retiring” two decades ago, shy of his 40th birthday. An ugly, Bre-X-style gold mining scandal caused by others was singeing his feathers and creating what he describes as “internal conflict” at Yorkton Securities Inc., the Vancouver-based brokerage he headed.
He quit the business forever and created a film company, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., which found success in Hollywood. (He’s mostly out of that, but is still a company director and has a large stake in another film studio, Thunderbird Films.)
Giustra eventually formed what might seem an unlikely alliance with the former U.S. president. They come from completely different backgrounds, but have some things in common: A taste for philanthropy, and a knack for finding money. (source: nationalpost.com)
