Nobody's Opinion

Do They WANT You to Come To Their Movies?

Nobody Wins

Hollywood–it was reported today that Hollywood had its worst summer in eight years, which got me to thinking about a movie that is coming out soon called—-

Expendable 3.expendables

The first one was good….but….

“Well, we’re not paying to see it.” said my husband who has been known to watch Rocky and First Blood marathons. ” Anybody that makes a living making movies filled with guns, and then says Americans shouldn’t have guns, doesn’t need my money.”

Yes, Sylvester Stallone was all for gun control during the gun debates last year.

I agree with my husband, and I guess that’s why Sylvester Stallone keeps putting more and more box office famous faces in the Expendable movies–He knows America is not going to go to just see HIM anymore, so he loads up his movies now with the old tried and true stars of the last few decades–like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dolph Lundgren, and Mel Gibson. It worked before…might work again.

Still, I often wonder how many other people decide not to waste their money on Hollywood hypocrites. Judging by the box office, a lot more than you would think. Most of the men in the movie, are American Icons, but, somewhere along the line, I really don’t care a bit about any of them anymore. Through the years, most of them have stated their opinions, and it has always hit me the wrong way.

Stallone is big on immigration, and gun control. Harrison Ford, has said some nasty things about Bush. Okay, sure, I complain about the Bushes for many reasons, but Ford was downright nasty, almost hateful. Schwarzenegger turned out to be a democrat. Gibson? Well…not most women’s idea of a man you would want to sit next to in a bar…

Still, they have all made great movies, but what is it? I think, money is so tight, if you feel like the actor looks DOWN on you as a fan, you just don’t care to give him any more money. That’s it for me anyway. They’ve divided the country, and it is what it is. I’m sure Harrison Ford wouldn’t be caught dead watching Duck Dynasty.

Stallone wants a ‘younger’ audience, but you have to laugh. The younger generations were raised on the Hobbit,Vampires, and love stories–which actually put Stallone into fame and fortune. When was the last time he did THAT convincingly?

Rocky was as much about a love story as a story of individual courage and hard work. Now, he just makes gun fights. This Nobody Thinks his finest works are behind him.Jane Fonda

And then there’s Jane Fonda. As an actress–she was always great, she soared above her father in acting ability…but Vietnam hurt her to at least half of America. Fewer people went to see her movies. Today, she was upset about Rupert Murdoch trying to buy Time Warner:

“It’s no secret that Rupert uses his media outlets for political reasons,” she added. “And he is not neutral. And he, you know, his new outlets do things that are unconscionable. And it just cannot happen that he becomes that much of a dominant force in American media.”

Clearly, Jane misses her cannon.

Nobody Thinks that Sylvester Stallone should put Jane in his next movie as his next gun-toting mistress…the title “expendable” then would finally find its true home.

And I find it funny, that the one women who did one of the most unconscionable things ever done in American history, by siding with the enemy who were killing our men, and insulting American soldiers…THAT woman finds a conservative TV mogul so—-“unconscionable” because that’s exactly  what SHE has always been to parents and wives who lost their loved ones in Vietnam.

She said she was sorry. All Rupert has to do is tell her, if he manages to buy Time Warner, “I’m sorry Jane, really I am.”

Nobody Wins when ageing movie stars, who lost half their following because they insulted Americans who went to see their movies, now have to work at lower wages just to keep their face on that big screen.

Move over guys…we still have our memories. There isn’t anybody that isn’t expendable.

  1. Thinking back, the last movie I saw in a theater was “Dark Crystal” in 1982 so Hollywood isn’t getting much money out of me. (Well, actually, it was a drive-in theater in Phoenix, with the kids in the back of my ’66 Rambler American and the windows rolled down.) I share your sentiments, though. My wife hates it when Meryl Streep comes on the TV because I always stand up and start screaming “WHAT ARE WE DOING TO THE CHILDREN!!!” When Hugh Grant comes on, I quip, “Oh look, it’s blowjob boy!” just before I walk away. When I see Richard Gere on the screen, I ask her, “Didn’t he play in Officer and a Gerbilman?”. I have some more unprintable comments for Jane f’n Fonda and Babs Streisand. I never forget…

    P.S. I love those Twitter pics you post in the sidebar. They really crack me up.
