37. I don't like some of her tactics.

Sun Mar 3, 2019, 10:57 AM

Mar 2019

But I love most of her movies and will watch them. Hard core lefties who might tick me off don’t bother me as much as right wing whack jobs, racists, wife beaters, misogynists, sex traffickers, sexual predators or pedophiles. Most of the more toxic conservatives can’t act anyway (Seagall, Norris, Lowe, Chachi, etc.) I think the exception is James Woods, who used to be considered a decent actor but is so nauseatingly right wing that I will channel surf right over his stuff (except “Casino” where DeNiro cancels him out.) I used to enjoy Woody Allen movies but can’t bring myself to watch them anymore. Spacey too. Right wingers who have 1 or 2 movies I will watch: Bruce Willis, Mel Gibson.

I can’t watch Angelina Jolie after seeing “The Tourist”. Her performance was just awful in a way that really annoyed me due to her affectation. There are also actors I don’t like (Cruise, DiCaprio) but am pleasantly surprised whenever I watch their movies. I watch Charelton Heston for the camp. Another bad right wing actor.

Mel Gibson MaryMagdaline Mar 2019 #1
