Even back then actors were making political statements at the podium.

Yep, Marlon Brando sending that Indian chick, then there was Vanessa Redgrave's anti-Jewish tirade.

I suppose that’s a step above shilling Mighty Putty or reverse mortgages.

I refuse to watch any film starring that disgusting little worm. In fact, I refuse to watch films by any actor who makes political statements. “Just shut up and sing!”

That he owns a huge yacht. That he travels everywhere on private jets.
If you look at the front of the ship in the posted image, there's a helicopter on the front of the ship.
I hate Hollyweird.

In all fairness he only rented the pictured yacht for a party. Of course, the carbon footprint of that yacht for 1 night is bigger than mine for a month, but why quibble?

The hottest year in the Globalists Cartels records, which add the shallow sea surface temps to bias current temps upward. So Leonardo de Moron, do you have a Plan B in case you are wrong about the planet warming ?

Yeah, like I’m gonna take advice from a high school dropout.

Tell you what, Leo. Why don’t you go to your private island off of Belize, climb a tree, and let us know when you see global warming (or climate changing, or climate disruption, or whatever you call it).

He’s not even that good of an actor, I’m sure there was some black actor that deserved it more than he did.

I do not visit the sticky carpeted, snot on the back of the seat - not counting who brought the bedbugs with them - over-priced and gang-shooting insecure movie houses.
(Long Island, NY 1993 gang shoot out inside Patchogue multi-plex theater injures viewers in the seatings in the next screening rooms.)

When I buy a dvd, or happen to catch a movie on cable tv, I pay for the entertainment provided by the entertainers, and the production crews who made the movie and/or the dvd.

I do not pay them to spout their idiotic political drivel, in an attempt to shame into their manner of tangential cogitating.

You don’t fly at all—or stay in hotels?

I’m not sure it’s possible to care less about Hollywood and their self-absorbed stars. I haven’t watched an awards show in decades. I have no interest in watching them slobber over each other and spout off about their politics for 3 hours.

dear mears,

re:

NO, I do not.
I have not flown a plane since the advent of the TSA, on principle.
Before the Turn of the Millenium, I have traversed my nation over 8 times, from sea to shining sea, and from land border to land border, all on the Interstates and truck routes. So, I have seen enough of my nation to satisfy any wanderlusts, both inside and outside of my nation.

That’s not true. He could have made it apart of his contract that he only do work in America, or whatever location he wishes to list.

Actors do it all the time. And a “A” lister like Leo could EASILY have that demand included.

The production crew, he said, had to move to the "southern tip of this planet" in order to find snow.

I suppose a high school dropout wouldn't know that it's summer in the Northern Hemisphere when it's winter in the Southern.

Funny … during an interview late last year, he said, "It was physically grueling for everybody. We had to have this massive crew go to far-off locations and move around all over the high altitudes, from Calgary to Vancouver.”

Last time I checked, Calgary and Vancouver are NOT on the souther tip of the planet.

Filming in Canada passing as various American locations is very common and has been for a long time. Toronto has passed as NYC or Chicago many a time. It’s a financial issue.
