Here’s a question that could get heated

As the actor or comedian whose political beefs and or a certain lifestyle they live lead you to determine whether to watch them or not perform in a movie, tv show, or on stage?

Loaded question I know...........

Thoughts please

Nope.

I only watch reality shows like Swamp People, Nova or The Curse of Oak Island. Then the other 90% of my tv watching time is watching the Motor Trend channel. I haven’t watched an actual movie in probably 20 years! So when it comes to “professional” actors, I could careless what their political views are.

Yes. I think that there are many a talented actor out there, however, we do not pay their outrageous salaries to hear their sometimes goofy political spouting. I am sure that there are a bunch of them that are wackos that keep their mouths shut. There are enough movies and TV programs out there to watch so that I can choose not to watch the rabid political wackos.

I mostly watch sports, so technically I’m sure many of the athletes participating in those sports don’t share the same political views as I do. That’s fine, unless they begin to use their fame and fortune to publicly push an agenda I disagree with, then I find it to be off putting

Absolutely yes.

Why in the world watch or God forgive pay to see someone perform that I don't care for?

Gotta be a Dr. Phil psychological term for those that do.

No.

Nope. I can enjoy with the person they are pretending to be.

Have a few, but Sylvester Stallone and Jane Fonda tie for number one.

I watch bill m on hbo from time to time just to look at other perspectives, the left has not proven anything to me yet

insp channel, motor trend, fox news are 95% of what I watch, the other is whatever rerun movie interests me.

yes I do avoid those whom I do not agree with, why would you pay someone to not like them by buying tickets to their performance?

I try to avoid them if I can.

Yep, there's some I won't watch. If your a dumbazz enough to think your self important views need to be broadcast then my self important sensibilities are offended enough to say I don't need to watch you.

I'm not offended by any of their lifestyles. They don't thrust them(lifestyles) on me like they do their political views. Screw their pompous political pontificating selves.

I have my favorite stars i watch but if they become radical , political or abusive in any way they are dropped from my list . But truthfully now days my like list is very very short ! Me and the wife don’t watch R rated movies or any shows with foul language .

That does make a short list.

No

No. But I don’t really know many Stars personal views. I don’t watch them unless it’s in a movie or tv show.

No

I have read the initial question multiple times, (I think it's a question) and the phraseology is a bit confusing, and overall, it could use some touch-up paint.

I believe the sentence should start with the word "does."

Regardless, my answer is a big, fat resounding, "Yes."

My latest decision as to whether I will watch more of his work or not pertains to Brad Pitt. He couldn't just accept is trophy without spouting off, as if anyone cares what he thinks of politics. I have always liked Brad Pitt, even when he was on "Dallas" during the lean years.

I figure its no different than someone on here or on FB thinking we all are interested in their political opinions

No one in particular, except Jane Fonda. You would had to have been around during Vietnam Nam to understand some people’s feelings toward her.

It has to be pretty egregious for it to enter in my decisions. For example I will not watch Kathy Griffin at any level. But in reality she is just a second rate washed up irrelevant has been, so what diff does it make.

That is what the Bunker is for. Bunkerites are interested in what others think and go there on purpose. Of course, we can always change channels if offended.

You should make a movie and call it Renaissance Man.

For sure

Exactly, you're a wise man Mark Perry.

I try my hardest to not fund people or organizations that go against my beliefs. Thats like a hunter willingly giving money to PETA, makes no sense to me.

It leaks its way into other sections on here though. I am not complaining as I just ignore it and move on. Some folks are ate up with politics and drag it into everything.

I get a bigger kick out of the the contradictory nature of when a young person rants they are a snowflake but when an older person do it they are a patriot....

Quite a few pizz me off with their "I'm important so you should listen to me" attitudes, but being a Vietnam vet the only one I never watch in anything is Hanoi Jane. She's the only one I consider a traitor and guilty of treason.

Not gonna support their lifestyle or beliefs, especially financially.

When it comes to entertainers, whether it be actors, musicians, athletes etc...I just simply want to be entertained, I don't give a damn about their political views or lifestyles, and don't listen to their rhetoric about it.

A little more than rhetoric.

Going to reverse my position slightly by saying there are a few I will overlook their silly political, religious, sexual preference etc. to watch in a good movie, but not many.

My same view in a nutshell.

Well understand. F her.

Why would I give money to a person that will turn around and use it against me or my cause

If your faith is placed anywhere but in God, you're in for disappointment.

Pretty much sums it up.

What will the Clint Eastwood fans do now that he's dumped Trump?

Vote for Trump. What will you do?

Absolutely. I don’t waste time on stupid. You’re an actor. You pretend for a living. What do you know about the real world. You get paid a ridiculous amount of money for nothing of any value. Same with athletes. You play a game and are athletically gifted. Both actors and athletes should get minimum wage.

Two of my favorite stars were the Turtle Man, and Jerry Campbell, the hog catcher. Given my taste in entertainers, I'm probably not qualified to enter into this discussion.

John Wayne says Clint is a [censored] cat.

This thread reminds me... I need to go burn all my R Kelly CDs.

Over the years I’ve found if I leave my own self-righteousness at home, it’s usually possible to dissociate great acting from personal politics and enjoy the performance.

I peed on mine

Yup

Clint Eastwood backed Bloomberg today. You guys giving up The Good The Bad and The Ugly?

He did that on page 3. I’m over it now.

It was only 7 posts ago.

I gave up the good the bad and the ugly because I’ve seen it several hundred times

Liberals are full of hate for others that have different views. So, I avoid supporting them

That's how I put the fire out.

YEP!!!!

IMO Jane Fonda can burn in hell

The world is full of outstanding actors and theater, I can easily be fussy.

I agree with the above, anything that has Jane Fonda in it will not get watched.

No
Respecting various opinions and evaluating issues from different perspectives is part of what makes America great.

He probably told them, "yeah, now get off my lawn!"

I believe you cross a line when you visit enemy gun placements during a war against America and have your picture taken with the enemy. Seems a little more than having “different perspectives“.

I dont think surrounding yourself with opinions exactly like you have is healthy, probably a little right and a little wrong with everyone's thoughts on politics, morals etc. Never hurts to ponder the other sides positions.

Actors and actresses using their fame and fanbase to influence libtards thoughts and how to vote, is as bad as high school teachers and professors using their power to sexually seduce their students. Unable to process logic, liberals are easily influenced and they migrate towards free, shiny, and feel good things. It is morally criminal what some of these famous and notorius people do.

There are a few that are so hateful and nasty like DeNiro and a few others that I have decided not to watch any movies they are in. Mostly because I can’t get their nasty real life image out of my head.
The others that just make a random joke or comment I can still enjoy their acting. Their political leanings don’t bother me as much as their attitudes.

one rants about not getting free stuff from the goobers, the other rants about having to pay for it.

Having a different opinion is one thing, asking me stupid and other similar statements is over my line-

And you guys do know Clint is dead now don’t you?

In the Line of Fire just ended. Up next, Joe Kidd.

Don't get upset, I'll watch Home Alone 2 and Eddie too.

I don't care.
