Pat Riot Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 8 hours ago, Chili Ron said: Howdy, I kinda skipped over all the above. If you bother to stay at the end of any movie you will see there are a LOT of folks involved. The STAR is only one of em. Its a fair bet a whole lot of em are nra members and maybe even SASS members. So I watch what l like and figure out of my admission the gun hater lead probably gets about two cents if that. I just watched a movie, paid 1.75. How much of that did the Rock get? come on. Best CR It’s not my goal or my role in life to support a group of people just because they are good people working on a movie where the star is someone I detest.

Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 It's bad enough that I can't break with Costco. I draw the line where I can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before those it was Castaway. My wife went to see them first so she could fully enjoy them. Then we went together so I could ask her to fill in dialog for me. Too expensive. Too uncomfortable. Most now have the sound track and effects too loud and the dialog too soft. If it is a western, well, they seem to think that everyone mumbled because, judging from the trailers, that is how everyone talks in newer westerns. Kinda blame Clint Eastwood and his Spaghetti Westerns for starting that trend. Tickets are $11 to $14. Snacks? Heck, I can buy a decent meal at a medium restaurant for the price of two medium sodas and a large popcorn. And, as I mentioned above, the chance of head lice. Those nice, soft, fabric covered seats, school kids who may have them. No thanks. Thank goodness for big screen TVs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixgun Sheridan Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 I will not pay to see a movie with Sylvester Stallone in it, as he's one of the worst hypocrites in Hollywood. He has a huge gun collection and allegedly his own private gun range as well, yet he's a vocal advocate for strict gun control. By contrast his younger brother is a breath of fresh air as he's solidly pro-2A, even for us common people. The only Sly Stallone movies I've seen have either been on TV or ones that I somehow saw or acquired for free. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember when he said on a BBC tv talk show late at night that the USA should ban all guns and go door to door to collect them! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted September 4, 2018 Author Share Posted September 4, 2018 Remember: these entertainers get “residuals” so every time their show airs they get paid a percentage depending upon how many watch. They also get these residuals from services like Netflix, Amazon, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted September 4, 2018 Share Posted September 4, 2018 Last night, I looked through the Direct channels to see if there was a movie I would like to watch. One sounded interesting; but when I saw who was in it, I changed my mind. I think it was Alec Baldwin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subdeacon Joe Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 Would I be correct in assuming that everyone who will not watch a film with (Name) in it is, when a new movie with (Name) is released, writing to the producer, director, distributor, et alia and letting them know why you won't be watching that particular film? And that you will be encouraging your friends to not go see it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I try not to get too wound up about it. If I boycotted everything attached to someone or something that I found offensive, I'd be unable to participate in anything that is daily living.

Smokin Gator SASS #29736 Posted September 5, 2018 Share Posted September 5, 2018 I go out to see a movie no more then once a year. I watch a lot of movies at home. You wouldn't be able to do much in life today if you tried to limit yourself to only things involving people you agree with. As far as entertainment, I too will draw the line with certain people, the latest being Deniro. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spend my evenings watching Forgotten Weapons or Hickok45 on YouTube. Much more entertaining anyway. My life is not diminished just because I no longer watch a bunch of overpaid, anti-gun actors pretending to be badasses on TV or film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calicokid786 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Even though, kinda not up to childhood standards only thing go to the theater for anymore for is the episodic star wars movies (which will likely stop when all the characters from my childhood are no longer present). Otherwise its just paying to see the same old thing getting remade again at lower quality and more CGI. So not worth the money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
