They got theirs through consumerism and now they don’t want anyone else to join them...elitists!
“The signatories are pleading for an end to unbridled consumerism...”
After making millions acting as paid spokespersons for unbridled consumerism for decades.
A smarter America? For the first time I agree with them about something!
I read the list...I recognized some names...I have seen their movies...
My reaction is “Whatever”...They are entitled to have their silly opinions...Even Monica Bellucci...I have seen her movies...I saw her for the first time in MALENA (2000)...She was good in the movie...
Some actors take themselves way too seriously...
Relax...Consider yourself lucky for being able to do a job, that you like, and make lots of money in the process...There are people, who do not enjoy their jobs, and do not make lots of money in the process...
Come on, actors, you should thank people for letting you do the job that you like and make lots of money...I would say the same thing for professional athletes...
Saw today that De Niro wants to play “Sonny” Cuomo in a film about COVID-19.
oh no! NOT Isabella Rosselini. Why did i think she was not crazy?
” stop ‘the pursuit of consumerism’”
Free movies and concerts from now on?
cute. the most consumer oriented people in the world calling on us not to consume products....give up your million dollar mansions, your private airplane trips that allow you to vacation anywhere in the world along with other consumer goods like an imported sports cars and we might be able to have a honest conversation about consumerism.
And are not their forays into activism likely an empty attempt to die having produced something other than consumerism?
Is their activist whaling and blathering not mere attempted atonement for neurotic and unwarranted guilt about what they perceive to be their own empty lives?
I'm not saying their lives aren't empty, I'm merely saying they should feel no guilt that what they produced was mere consumerism. What may or may not have been sinful while they did that is their problem.
This is just a case of a couple narcissists with a fading audience projecting their unconscious guilt and empty feeling.
They believe in freedom and charity as long as they got theirs. (Paraphrased from Alan Parsons).
I say boycott ALL movie entertainers, etc, or whoever else signed the document.
They are as bad as the DC crowd. They just don’t get it or understand what life is like for REAL people. I actually dislike Consumerism too, but the messenger here is the wrong one that’s for damn sure.
I never heard of most of these people. I could care less what they want the rest of us to do. They live high on the hog, but want the rest of us to live in poverty. None of us consume more than these rich hypocrites. When will they ever learn they have no right to lecture the rest of us simply because they are rich.
That's about as good as Martin Luther King preaching about morality. Etc.
“Celebrities” and “scientists” in the same sentence. LOL!!
I’ll be happy not to buy or view or listen to anything they produce until this blows over.
OK. No more moives, rock concerts or DVDs, then. See ya!
Easy to do when you’ve ben overpaid for your medicare talent for years.
Tell that to a family that can’t make their mortgage payment this month and feed their kids.
