Ben Affleck: 'Big Republican' Actors Are Hard to Watch

I assumed he was referring to Christian Bale who played “Batman” in the last three, which would be strange because Bale appears to be a leftard as well.

See the “Personal Life” entry:

I honestly have never seen a good Ben Affleck movie. He is horrible. When I see his name, it pretty much guarantees I will not watch the movie. And that has nothing to do with his politics. It has everything to do with what a horrible actor he is.

[artichokegrower]

Do to income inequality it is hard to watch a 1%er such as Ben Affleck.

[Mr Rogers]

There is a reason I don’t have a TV, and there is a reason I go to movies once every 4-5 years...

In todays dumbed down world, all the awards are nothing but an incestual love fest. Seldom is it about TRUE ability, its about “oooooo, avante garde” and political correctness and who is swallowing whom.

If you want to be impressed with todays awards, go right ahead.

Stopped watching most big mouthed liberal actors a long time ago. Their politics get in the way of my ability to suspend disbelief. Would love to see a movie like the Monument Men, but won’t give George Clooney one penny of my hard earned money.

Buddy Ebsen, William Holden, Barbara Stanwyck...the list was a lot longer 30 years ago.

I need you like Ben Affleck needed acting school
He was terrible in that film

I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He’s way better than Ben Affleck

And now all I can think of is your smile,
And that ——ty movie too.

Pearl Harbor sucked, and I miss you.

Can’t be as hard to watch as trying to watch “Gigli”.

REMEMBER THESE POISONOUS PERSONALITIES!!!

The contribute MILLIONS to left-wing, anti-American causes and the Democrat Party.

And “we” help them EVERYTIME we buy a ticket to one of their movies or rent or buy a DVD of one of their films.

I REFUSE to support in ANY WAY, these monstrous evil left-wing egos with my dollars.

Personally, I’d like to see a breakdown of how many of the wealthy libs, who think their ideas are so grand, really pay their share of taxes, since many of them fall into the “RICH” category. I mean, they think the rich should pay more than the rest of us, so, do they?

[Pilated]

Gee that’s funny because I feel the same way about what’s his name. Can’t say I have ever seen anything thing he has ever done,even his name offends me.

[Guenevere]

There are quite a few ‘celebrities’ who want to give the impression of living .....’ clean, family man lives’

Even Rock Hudson was married to a woman once for a short period of time.

[native texan]

Well, Ben, I feel exactly the same way when I have to endure a flaming liberal actor. The only difference is that you scam money from the people you don’t like, while I don’t give money to the movie industry when it is with people I don’t like. Wish more people would do that; a cut in your salary would be good to see.

[Hostage]

Hollywood is controlled by unions and their lawyers who are anti-republican.

Actors are puppets and parrots.

It isn’t complicated.

The antidote is for conservatives to organize their wealth and spending and support entertainers and producers who do the exact same to the likes of Penn, Affleck etc. You will soon see Damon and others parroting conservative values. To them it’s all about being in the inner ring of who controls the purse and puppet strings.

[Vigilanteman]

I’ll take a John Wayne or Jimmy Stewart movie over this assclown any day.

[CodeToad]

I see you believe in the lefty hollywierd hype. Those award shows are just that. They were created during a time of unpoplarity of hollywierd and they needed hype to draw in the feebleminded. It worked on you perfectly.

[MplsSteve]

.....”Lets face it you cant stand having a black president”

It’s sad but more often than not, that’s the fall-back position for Obama supporters who really can’t defend their President.

[dfwgator]

I can’t stand having a liberal black President.

But give me Allen West, and I’d be a happy camper.

[RipSawyer]

Such is what passes for witty rejoinder with leftists. Let me guess, this “kook liberal” imagines himself to be superbly logical and possessing a razor sharp mind which people like you cannot even begin to comprehend. In his eyes you are incapable of even beginning to grasp the depth of his brilliance. Is that about right?
