I get kind of annoyed when entertainers stick any sort of “issue” in my face, whether I agree with their position or not. Most of the time I just don’t care what they think. Really, do they actually sway anyone with a brain?? “Well, I was going to vote for McCain until George Clooney came out for Obama. That’s all I had to hear!”
JMO, but an example for me is Tom Hanks. I know he’s a lib, but he doesn’t rub my face in it every chance he gets, so I give him a pass. I can watch, “That Thing You Do!” not be annoyed. I can’t watch anything with George Clooney without wanting to kick his smug face (except O, Brother, for some reason).
LOL, I know what you mean. I can stand him in O Brother too, but nothing else--not even Out of Sight, which used to be one of my favorites. His character in O Brother is so over the top and Clark Gable-like that I can almost forget who he is.
