Yeah, I don't go to his movies anymore, and I am not one for boycotting much of anything. He just really ruined it for me. Of course, his recent movies haven't been worth a crap from what I have seen from previews, etc. Not appealing to my tastes, I guess.
Yep, my wife made the mistake of putting some gawd awful movie of his in our Netflix queue. Terrible, and I didn't even know what kind of loony leftie he was until reading this.
It's funny, most of the movies in our queue come from the 30's, 40's to early 60's. They don't make men like Jimmy Stewart (saw Mr. Smith again recently), Gary Cooper, Clark Gable, Fred Astaire, Gene Kelly and their kind anymore! Yes, some of them might have been lefties, but most were patriotic lefties. And the ones on the right, are ones that people to this day love (Stewart, Cooper, John Wayne).
And the women back then! Pure class, and *stronger* than the poor excuse for eye candy most of their modern brethren are. Does Betty Davis even have a pretender to the throne in modern Hollyweird?
I don't exactly boycott either, but if an actor I despise is in a movie, it just ruins it for me, so why go?
There are maybe 10 I feel that strongly about, and most of them don't make decent movies anyway.
