Film Journalist confesses that there was always something he didn’t like about Robert Downey Jr., and now he knows what he is: the actor is a Republican. This explains why he appears in movies Film Journalist doesn’t like, says film journalist. More:
In 2009 Downey conveyed his politically rightward drift to N.Y. Times reporter David Carr. “I have a really interesting political point of view, and it’s not always something I say too loud at dinner tables here, but you can’t go from a $2,000-a-night suite at La Mirage to a penitentiary and really understand it and come out a liberal. You can’t. I wouldn’t wish that experience on anyone else, but it was very, very, very educational for me and has informed my proclivities and politics ever since.” [Emphasis Film Journalist's -- RD].
Film Journalist doesn’t stop to wonder what Downey might have meant by that. What did he see in prison, what might he have had done to him in prison, that forced his political conversion? There are really interesting questions there, but not to Film Journalist, to whom this quote from Downey has value only in that it confirms that he’s a horrible, filthy, no good right-winger.

Blacks' too, as Richard Pryor found out:
It made my heart ache, you know, to see all these beautiful black men in the joint. The warriors should be out there helping the masses. I felt that way, I was real naive. Six weeks I was up there and I talked to the brothers. I talked to 'em, and ...THANK GOD WE GOT PENITENTIARIES!
I asked one, 'Why did you kill everybody in the house?' He says, 'They was home.'
I met one dude, kidnap-murdered four times. And I thought, three times, that was your last, right? I says, 'What happened?' 'I can't get this s--t right! But I’m getting paroled in two years.'"
Is that the one where Pryor says “I met a guy who’s doing triple life! That means if he’s re-incarnated he has to get his little toddler ass back into jail...”
When I was about 10 or 11 I read “Go Ask Alice”.
Not only was I never a drug user, I was so horrified that I got drug phobias.
Won’t go near people that are drug users to this day.
-Terrifying- book.
I did see Sid And Nancy and it freaked me out.
Don’t think I could sit through “Less Than Zero” if it’s a similar movie.
That’s wonderful! Maybe you’ll drop a prayer or two for Charlie Sheen. Haven’t heard much about him, but ... sad stuff there.
Are there others that confirm his conservative beliefs?
Auto correct jumps in and does that I am not lazy.Perhaps something could be done about your mouth?
“very easy on the eyes!”
Well, he’s a nice politically conservative Jewish boy.
We have a “look.”
