With all of the news about boycotts of Arizona it occurs to me that the ones boycotting are chiefly in the entertainment business. Baseball, Basketball, the Hollywood crowd, etc. etc. Maybe if in May, June and July we didn't go to any movies or any professional athletic events they would get the picture. Unemployment is still at 10% and the cost of illegals is constantly being paid for by the middle class. The cost of education, health care and police protection all rise and are all supported by us, the "little people". But we the masses also support the movie and sports industry. It's time for those folks to get on board and help us out for once, instead of calling us racists and bigots. Maybe if they understand it is our money that supports all of this they'll finally get the message.
The last movie I went to see was All About the Benjamins in 2002 and before that it was Star Wars the Phantom Menace in 1999. The only thing left for me to do is boycott anything I see that says made in California and buy anything I can find made in Arizona.
Chill out bro. :) My point was that people become rabid over the Entertainment industry in ways that would be better suited for addressing serial killers and child molesters. It’s predictable and not constructive. Why not actually get into the industry and try to make a difference...and as has been mentioned earlier in this thread, L.A. is not equivalent to Hollywood which probably has more conservatives per capita than L.A.
A few months? No, boycott Hollywood until LA drops their AZ boycott.
Of those you mention, Hollywood (not to be confused with West Hollywood) and Studio City are indeed part of the City of Los Angeles.
But the people who work in Hollywood mostly live in Beverly Hills, Malibu...
Yup sure did, and I think that if we truly want to send a message, that’s what we should do. Boycott the crap and support the conservative flicks. If no one goes, it’s blamed on the economy. If we see only the conservative movies, it sends a message.
I’ve been boycotting them since before the 2008 elections.
Actors are small fairly small percentage of a film crew. Filmmaking is mostly a blue collar profession.
Clara Bow's screentest. I understand the USC Trojans were all in attendance.
how can we help Arizona
Like Roman Polanski?
Polanski isn;t really a Hollywood figure. He hasn’t made a film there in over 40 years. Besides there are questionable figures in all professions.
Any movie we want we get it free....We'll let Hollywood figure out how.
Yes, but plenty of Hollywood's little darlings, including Woopie "it wasn't 'rape-rape'" Goldberg, supported him and called for dismissal of the case against him.
Hollywood also hosts a plethora of rich, spoiled marxists such as Sean Penn and Danny Glover.
You spend your money where you choose and I'll spend my money where I choose. You are pro choice, right?
I am also guilty.
Can we boycott DC?
Anti-abortion all the way. The % of people who are vocal about this or that is actually quite small. There are lots of bad books and bad music as well, do you also not read or listen to music?
