"Lectures us about gun violence.
Lectures us about how awful walls on the border are.
Lectures us about unfairness to the poor and oppressed.
Lectures us about inequality and pay gaps.
Lectures us about climate change.
Lectures us about tolerance and love of people."
Does this help you understand? These are pretty typical Left vs Right, D vs R, and liberal vs conservative issues in American politics, and you are quite clearly admonishing what you perceive as the left using Hollywood elitist actors as a proxy.
Not going to go any farther on this but I saw absolutely nothing political (much less "hyper-political) in his comment. And, as someone who spent decades in a very similar industry, I can tell you, with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY, that political opinions span the spectrum. I could list a long list of very specific examples but won't.
Really? First and Last warning.......
I'm just giving him the explanation he asked for.
Hollywood isn't just movies. And there's way more than 1 or 2 that lecture us while living a hypocritical lifestyle. You're either being obtuse, naive, or dishonest now. Come on.
I didn't say a single thing about Left or Right, though. I said what they lecture us about and then how they don't live by what they preach.
Ricky Gervais is on the political Left per his own admittance, and yet he even called out Hollywood elites for their hypocrisy.
That's all I've done. If you got triggered and offended because you politically align with these Hollywood hypocrites, then that's a YOU problem. I didn't attack you or your political beliefs.
"Hollywood isn't just movies." And I'm the one who is "obtuse, naive, or dishonest" (sic). Okay.
Then take it to PM's. You all can do group PMs....
I watched Jumanji Saturday night and really enjoyed the humor.
I cant Agree with this enough. Will just leave it at that.
I did go see 1917 2 Saturday’s ago. Can’t remember the last movie I saw Before that.
underrated movie. You're a person of fine taste.
Pretty simple. One more political innuendo post and the thread will be closed.
I like movies with subtitles. It’s like reading minds.
Wow! This thread came off the rails fast.
I just wanted to talk about movies since there's not much football to discuss this time of year.
If you haven't seen 1917, I recommend it, highly. I think it's a beautiful film.
If you haven't seen Parasite, I also recommend it.
I thought Ford vs. Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood were great as well.
Anyone else have a film recommendation?

@ghostofuga1 Let's give her a chance, but if the thread veers off again feel free to close it out.
1917...if you are expecting lots of action and combat violence.....this is not it. Artsy and suspenseful, yes. Action packed...no. The movie focuses on one single person, not 1917 as a whole. Not sure what 1917 has to do with the movie. Should have titled the movie "The Messenger" or something like that because it really had no ties to 1917 and what was going on in WWI at the time.
