CAPTAIN PHILLIPS
Vanity | 10 26 2013 | Dick Bachert

The recently released film “Captain Phillips” is getting good reviews and a respectable box office. It is a film I won't be viewing. My reasons?

Tom Hanks is a talented actor (that's someone who can memorize at least one paragraph of dialog written by another).

Unfortunately, he is also another Hollywood Obama worshiper, albeit a relatively quiet one, who, along with Spielberg and several others, grasp the financial rewards for positive portrayals of the United States military. Projects such as "Saving Private Ryan", "Band of Brothers" and now this new one.

How sadly hypocritical that these Hollywood types continue to support politicians out here in the real world like the Clintons, Obama, most of the radical left crew from the Left Coast (Algore, Pelosi, Waxman, Boxer, Feinstein, George Miller, etc.) who, at their cores, disdain those same military men and women upon whose backs and lives these creatures profit.

It's just me but I've decided to consciously AVOID the films and other projects put forth by these folks.

I’m with you even if no one else is. I can’t even stand to look at guys like Hanks and Clooney, much less watch them act or hand them money. These are guys I won’t even watch for free on TV. There are other actors who I know are liberal but are not as offensive somehow, but I haven’t been to the theater in ages.

I agree with Mary that Breaking Bad is great. Just don’t look too deeply into Bryan Cranston’s politics. :O

You’ve ruined Lucky Charms for me! I have a problem with Oreos, since they did that gay rainbow filling stunt.
