The last movie I watched at a theater was “The Passion of Christ”. Hollywood scum will not get my money.

Wow, that’s an easy list to boycott.

Brad Pitt went to my high school. He was a pinhead then, too.

Can we make exception to the rule if the movie with Anne Hathaway or Kate Winslet contains full-frontal nudity?

Deny yourself the pleasure. Doesn’t bother me. I like to be entertained.

Good start. I would like to compile a list of these pieces of crap and others with their comments quoted, especially the ones who directed unprovoked insults at Governor Palin. Add no talents Chevy Chase and Brad Garrett to this (s)hit list.

These days, I go to about one movie a year at most. I believe I’ve already been boycotting all of these people for a long time. I saw some of Spielberg’s earlier films, and I saw Barbra Steisand about a million years ago in some musical or other—or maybe I just heard her on the car radio occasionally while commuting—but I’ve never seen any of the others on film. Only on covers at the supermarket checkout counter, where they all seem to be perpetually fighting over divorces or babies.

Here is what I'd suggest (It's in keeping with what many on the Left are proposing):

I'd suggest that there be a pay cap for every single person you list.

Why should Sean Penn, for instance, make many millions of dollars in a year?

I'm sure that there are many assistant producers who work on his movies who do not make even one million dollars on a film with Sean Penn in it.

So isn't Sean Penn, for instance, a bit like the CEO of a corporation -- the guy who gets lots of money while the "little guys" get so much less? Where is the outrage on the Left about THIS situation? Shouldn't Barney Frank and Chuck Schumer -- who clamor for caps on CEO pay -- devoteo some time and attention to this gross inequality of pay that exists in Hollywood?

And what about all those films that don't do well at the Box Office? Shouldn't the actors in THEM -- especially the well-paid actors -- be forced to give up some of THEIR compensation when a film is a failure?

How is it, by the way, that some of these rich actors are able to afford private jets (and the FUEL to run them!) that will carry them from LA to DC for the Inauguration? What about all the poor assistance editors and assistant producers who, because of the GREED of the actors, aren't even able to afford to buy a coach ticket to DC? Doesn't anybody care about the "little guys" in Hollywood?

My Vote's for Obama (if I could vote) ...by Michael Moore

Friends,

I don't get to vote for President this primary season. I live in Michigan. The party leaders (both here and in D.C.) couldn't get their act together, and thus our votes will not be counted.

So, if you live in Pennsylvania, can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote -- and yours -- on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?

how about keeping a list of new release movies and their associated lib-factor?

hollywood/distribution houses make their money in the first 2-4 weeks from release. after that, the cinema gets some of the ticket sales. if we just avoided ALL movies for 3 weeks after release, that would hurt the hollywood libs while not hurting the local cinema owners as much

actually... thinking about this... i like this a lot. if we all went after 3 weeks (if at all), then the cinema would still be making money from selling the goodies to those seeing the 3 week old movies. they’d have a 3 week hiccup initially, but after that it’d be ok.

Not much coming out of Hollywood anyway. Especially worth watching. Adam Sandler’s new one Zohan, was so putrid that it should be classed a XXX porn. Also, the political innuendo could be cut with a canoe paddle.

The only reason I watched it was because a coworker of my wife let us borrow it. He kept raving how funny and great a movie it was. I was severely sickened by it and could not find one shred of humor in it. That is, if you think gross sexually deviant morally depraved behavior is funny, then it must have been funny. They also got in several deep, cutting insults on Conservative principles.

So, to all the actors on this list, I'm sure they will be there for the great inaugural orgy in Washington. So, who cares? I will never watch one of their movies again.

You mentioned some very talented entertainers in that list. I like to separate the artist from the personality. After all, I love Michael Jackson’s early work, however, I think that personally he is a sad, delusional creature now.

So, is the movie Defiance have any actors on this list?

Most of these people I don’t follow at all. And we generally don’t see alot of movies. But we saw Grand Torino last weekend, and are planning on seeing Defiance today.

Something familiar,
Something peculiar,
Something for everyone:
A comedy tonight!

No royal curse, no Trojan horse,
And a happy ending, of course!
Goodness and badness,
Panic is madness—
This time it all turns out all right!
Tragedy tomorrow,
Comedy tonight!

Movie seat-tax (free if you stand) $50.

Enlist homeless as enforcers/tax collectors.

The politics of actors matter about as much as those of cattle.

They exist to provide a product, their thoughts do not matter.

Boycott all you wish and lend credence to them thereby.

I don’t choose my entertainment based on the political views of the entertainer. Otherwise, I would have seen about three movies by now and read four books. Your results may vary.
