I cant wait to see The Avengers.
I’ve always liked this guy. If any of you have never seen “Chaplin”, I recommend it.
He used to be a Reagan Hater, IIRC
He’s no longer a drug sodden bad boy that Hollywood seems to love.
However he is a money maker so they can tolerate him.
It’s pretty tough to work with folks who got affirmative action jobs and stay a liberal too.
Not impossible,I guess, but tough.
One factor in all this is that with a series of very large grossing films, which he had back end participation in, he now has “f*** y** money” and can speak out. Welcome, brother!
The opening scene in Iron Man 2 was the most pro-capitalist /anti big government scene in cinematic history. Short, brutal, and easy to understand and sympathize with.
He was great in Chaplin. Not to mention hilarious in Through A Scanner Darkly and Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.
Glad he’s one of us.
Thought his last two Sherlock Holmes were great. Like the second one better. I am so glad he got another chance after all his drug problems.
I estimate he is also clean and sober for over ten years, which may correlate with his political conversion.
Twelve step recovery involves personal responsibility, accountability, honesty, spirituality, etc.
(I met Downey at a meeting during 2000, soon after which he relapsed once more, I believe)
Every lib should do a stint in a penitentiary.
Downey’s upbringing is very similar to that of David Horowitz. I could see the same sort of political awakening, although as an actor, he will have to keep thing quieter.
I KNEW there was a reason I was pulling for this guy to get his act together.
Welcome home Robert Downey, Jr.
One heck of a great actor. Let’s hope he can persuade some of the gullible, ignorant liberals in Hollywood with his non-conventional, conservative perspective.
"I don't care about the liberal agenda."
Beautiful. :)
What he saw in jail scared him. Evil is scary even to brave men.
I was pretty sure after Ironman.
I think Richard Pryor after making a movie at the AZ state pen said; “I talked to ‘em and - thank God we got penitentiaries.”
very easy on the eyes!
Prison will bust white liberal notions on race real quick
Wood is good....in Downeys case
