    I doubt the trailers played much where Shaft movies were shown.

    Richard Roundtree was better than James Woods and hell Samuel L. Jackson is definitely better.

    Better at what? Credit card commercials. That's a subjective statement at best.

    Always liked James Woods movies.

    That said, I thought that Actors political views weren't to be listened to because they don't know anything.

    Or does that only apply to liberal Hollywood?

    So all the leftist here agree that if someone is providing a service to the public they have a right to choose who they will or will not provide that service?

    Nope, both sides but Hollywood is dominated by liberals. Not even a fair exchange. Just like in here.

    He was amazing in Casino.

    That said, have you read his twitter feed? The guy preaches to anyone who will listen about the evils of liberals and the plight of Conservatives.

    I do and we've had this conversation before. A mod whose first initial is M seems to have something against me and will ding anyone who calls liberals even as group mentally ill, though there is plenty out there that says otherwise including books and papers.

    Ah Ok. I forgot. But yeah, I see this place as dominated by Cons, which is why I started posting here.

    And yeah, your second part would contravene rule 2 outright.

    Perception doesn't always equal reality.
    Maybe it's actually pretty balanced but we only see what we want to? I dunno.

    I would bet real money that you haven't seen any more than 3 of the movies on that list. (Of course you'll claim I am wrong and we would never know the truth but if there was a way to give you truth serum, I'd bet any amount of money that 3 is the upper limit of movies on that list you've seen)

    This is an interesting point. A baker doesn't want to provide a service for someone, and certain people lose their minds over it. An agent doesn't want to provide a service for someone, and those same people say, "meh. That's his right."

    Anybody see the disconnect here?

    I don't recall posting I had seen all of the movies on that list.

    Tell me how many smash hit movies he has been in where he was the star of the movie.

    George Clooney hasn't been a spectacular financial success as lead bill. Most of his big hits needed other star power.
