Can't you people give the politics a rest for a few hours and enjoy an awards ceremony for it's own sake? Must you make everything into a Republican-Democrat battle? Jeez, If I thought about movies and entertainment the same way some narrow-focused FReepers here do, I'd never leave my house.
Listen, I'm getting a bit tired of these threads devolving into tired, utterly irrelevant "but (so-and-so) is a lefty and I'm not givin' my time to that der cesspool!" nonsense. My Question: SO F'N WHAT? What makes A good film is not at all dictated by the personal political views of it's makers. Example: I may agree with Dennis Miller on many political issues, but Sean Penn (a radical liberal) can act the pants off Miller any day of the week. In fact, I'd have to say that Penn is one of our finest living actors.
In turn, Bruce Willis (a rare Hollywood righty) is a far better and more versatile actor than left-leaning Julia Roberts. In neither case does it really matter.
Please save the sourpuss, killjoy shtick for another day and leave this thread to the people who actually CARE about the subject at hand. That's not too much to ask for.
P.S.= Enjoy the Globes everybody, and make sure to get up early for the Oscar nominations announcement on January 25!
Oh, come on. It is annoying to have to abide the inane political offerings from some of these twits and some have crossed the line to the point where I can't bear to watch them anymore.
That is a valid point to make on these types of threads.
