So many in Hollywood feel the need to cram their political opinions down our throat it's getting harder to separate them and enjoy their work. Emmys aside every time I see Clooney, Baldwin, and others that's now more what I think. I know some research lately says it has affected box office numbers.

I don't care what their political views are

Well I did hear that on Limbaugh last week!

Also, no one has a problem giving over their hard earned money to some liberal douchebags to line their bank accounts?!

If you listen to Rush Limbaugh and think you're getting accurate information

I tend to separate liberal Hollywood loons from their politics when I go watch a film. If I got triggered by their antics I wouldn't be able to watch a movie ever again. Practically every single one of them is a raging leftist.

I watch a movie to be entertained. The actors have made their money before the movie is released unless you're RDJ and get a % of the gross

It's the same people trying to draw parallels between the ratings drop in football and the kneeling crap. They aren't really related. In both it's more consumers turning their nose up a at a state product

Yeah I agree if I stop watching them I'll never see another movie. I guess it's like banning a restaurant or store based on their policies.

Trying to turn the "snowflake" thing back on conservatives is hilarious. Yeah, let me know when conservatives start demanding safe spaces, chant that speech is violence and scream at people for using "offensive pronouns."

It's about losing entire cities of fans in favor of a supposed gold mine city whose citizens don't care about football.

Raiders to Vegas is a huge sign of the NFL's end times, or at least, their plummeting revenues.

Politics only matter if a movie is deliberately infused with it - and said politics is out of place for the plot and just stuck in there because - well, Hollywood. It's difficult to enjoy a movie when that happens.

What actors believe, I don't care.

But losing your mind over a guy you'll never meet kneeling during the anthem is totally manly.

It has to be a really good movie for me to see a star who has a big mouth. It used to not bother me, but it has now.
Take Matt Damon. Used to be a favorite. Now he has to put a good one out for me to consider.

If you can't separate politics and entertainment, that sounds like more of a you problem

Just like everyone was going to boycott IT? Worked out well. Only the biggest opening for any horror flick ever and is still going strong.

I don't seem to remember any pro-anthem riots.

The Georgia Tech snowflakes are currently rioting because a schizo gay guy ran at police with a knife and demanded they shoot him, which they did.
