You talking to me? You talking to me?

Yeah, I'm talking to you. And I'm telling you that actor Robert De Niro has shown us what a liberal loon he is by comparing his Travis Bickle character in the movie Taxi Driver to Donald Trump.  The Associated Press reported on De Niro's latest lunacy while he attended the Sarajevo Film Festival:

I enjoyed The Intern, too. It was geezer porn.

Whenever you hear one of these Hollywood airheads criticizing the US or the Reps abroad, always remember that more than half of Hollywood’s film revenue comes from overseas. They are the absolute globalists.

That's a good point.

He rescued the young prostitute (Jodie Foster) from the abusive pimp and returned her to her parents. A happy ending. Not the best movie, though.

Deniro has been mailing in it for the last 30 years.

He’s not that intelligent and had a run-in with Trump prior, and Deniro quietly ran home.

There was that one move where he costarred with Ed Norton who played a retarded janitor. DeNiro was the good guy in this one. The movie was “The Score” http://www.epinions.com/review/the_score_dvd_2009_value_line_dvd_widescreen/155177768/32956714628

DeNiro's not really somebody one goes to for serious or even coherent thinking.

______________

Michael Douglas is nonplussed at the popularity of his Gordon Gekko character, “Greed is good,” in Wall Street, too.

Was Gekko really popular? Viewers liked his pithy catch phrase, but did they really like or admire him?

Maybe it was more that people thought of the movie as entertainment rather than as a political statement and Douglas's character as a caricature that one couldn't take wholly seriously as either a hero or a villain.

if we are going to question character, let Mr De Niro discuss his love of under aged girls. Open “secret” in Hollywood.

Actors and actresses spend a lifetime worrying about acceptance by audiences and, for this reason, they are painfully insecure.

The world looks very different to painfully insecure people than it does to wise and mature folks (like us conservatives).

“The idea that Gekko was this shiny, beautifully dressed, magnetic, charismatic superstar suited a lot of people in the business world very nicely,” says screenwriter Stephen Schiff, who’s writing a sequel to the movie.

Although Bud Fox ultimately turns against him and Gekko heads to jail, the character’s charisma undercuts the film’s moralizing.

“What do you want to be coming out of the movie? Do you want to be Bud Fox, broken and downtrodden and never having quite made it?” asks Schiff. “Or do you want to be Gordon Gekko, who, yeah he’s going to jail, but what a swashbuckler he was until the very last moment?”

Both Douglas and Stone have said that a lot of young people they meet see Gekko as a role model.

past 3 years? You’re off about 15 years. He destroyed himself taking every garbage movie that came his way. A disgrace now as an actor and italian american. I’m sure Al’s probably left too but he has the good sense to keep his mouth shut about it. I Saw The Godfather at a drive in yesterday. It was fantastic.

Is that a Kumquat on his face? What a dope De Niro is to even open his mouth without a script.

I saw “The Intern” and that also stunk.

He's in it for the money, clearly just collecting checks.

Which is hilarious– it doesn't occur to DeNiro that's he's what he himself is preaching against.

De Niro knows where his bread is buttered.

Hollywood is a subsidiary of the DNC.
