Make sure you ask your banker what his political beliefs may be, or the owner of your local hardware store and the gas station downtown. And the person who sells you your next car.

Your choice of course, but you named a few people who are pretty good at their work and I don't expect everyone in this country to think as I do politically. I'll watch Richard Dreyfuss films, thanks.

i will give you the fact that richard dreyfuss is a good actor. he has many films that i enjoy, but the rest of the list includes actors or actresses who i believe to be bad. I think Julia Roberts is a terrible actress who relies on her gargantuan mouth and smile to appeal to the audience.
Rob Reiner has some good involvement in films , but his sense of entitlement to the political world becuase of who he is is disheartning

Actually , i did stop going to the local butcher because he had a sign for a local bleeding heart liberal in front of his store during last election. I stopped , not just because of his views , but because he was stupid enough to not realize that by picking a position in front of his business might turn off his clientle. Unlike the local car dealer, who had both candidates signs in front of his business.

The point is that nobody asked them for their political beliefs. They seem to think they're so important that their views can influence us mere mortals. They made the choice to speak out and alienate half the population and I made the choice not to contribute to their careers.

Great point!! By someone refusing to go to movies because of some political view an actor has is only closing their world more. It is beyond me how people are so closed minded that they keep cutting themselves off from living and experiencing what life has to offer. They are only hurting themselves....and are letting COMPLETE strangers control their life. There was a guy on here who said he hasn't gone to the movies since the sixties. Who is he really hurting? I doubt the actors. He's hurting himself by generalizing life in a way that he says to himself, "I refuse to see anything positive in this situation".

My big gripe with liberals is that they are negative and constant complainers...but that is also true with some ultra-conservatives. Generalizing is done on both sides....and by having the negative attitude about life is only hurting oneself....for to be a bitter human being robs someone of seeing the joys life has to offer.

There are rotten movies out there for sure...but there are also movies that are positively impactful and can benefit us. By saying we won't see a movie because "so and so" is in it, is ludicrous.
