I’ve always loved De Niro. His performance in Raging Bull completely blew me away when I first saw it. All of his contributions with Scorsese have been excellent though. I’m glad to know he’s got the right idea with politics, I hate seeing celebrities I like turn out to be MAGAts.
The one that disappointed me the most when I found out is Clint Eastwood: he's quite the intolerant piece of shit Republican, and that predates Trump and even Dubya. I like his acting, but the man is despicable and has always been.
Who cares. Do you care about the political opinions of your plumber? No, you just care that the shit goes down when you flush.
People think they know someone by watching them act, then for some reason, they listen to them about opinions when most actors are incredibly poorly educated because they learned in their teens they could just get away with how they look.
Normally I don't care. But with MAGA, it's different: if I found out he's a MAGAt, I'll call someone else. I don't give my business to fascists, fascist sympathizers or morons who are too dumb not to vote fascist. I can't stand fascists and I can't stand those who enable them.
Having said that, Eastwood isn't MAGA. He's just a slightly nauseating person. That won't prevent me from enjoying the movies he played in.
Actually? Yeah, had an issue last winter. Guy started chatting anti-immigrant shite, and I kicked him the fuck out my house.
That’s too bad, I’ve always really liked him. The Dollars trilogy are some of the best westerns ever made, with The Good the Bad and the Ugly being in my top five movies of all time.
I must be the only person who thought Raging Bull was just OK.
Nope, there's at least two of us, and if my internet education has taught me anything...we can extrapolate that to dozens!
Depending on how you feel about vaccines, I may have bad news for you.
