Let them go broke ? Son Hollywood pumps billions into the economy, their success is good for everyone in the long run. Without their money, the economy would be a million times worse than it is.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. Is this a joke ? Streep is an icon. She is universally considered the best actress ever, ever. Her accolades speak for themselves. People who know far more about acting than anyone on this website consider the greatest actor ever, male or female.

That is just pathetic. Basically you are a fascist. Just because they have differing opinion than you you refuse to see their movies, that's just childish. This country was founded on differing opinions, yet you want everyone to agree with you.

Robert Townshend, Penn is a great actor, he universally respected for his acting. Common ? Are you talking about his looks ? Nowadays looking like an everyman rather than a model is a good thing if you are anctor.

Pure movie stars… the ones who do mindless blockbusters are entertainers. Real actors like Penn and Depp and DiCaprio are artists, they don't care about your entertainment.

Uh kid, Hollywood pumps billions into the global economy and that creates millions of jobs for everyone. Like it or not, what's good for them is good for us also. Non talent commies just reading lines ??? Clearly you are not an artist yourself and do not understand acting at all.

Because it's a free country with free speech, boycotting people for their opinion is irrational and un American.

I've read every post on here and it's all nothing but jealousy. Pure and simple. Jealousy is a part of human nature as much as breathing and eating. You are all jealous, nothing more. You wish you had their success, fame and wealth. Their lives make you even more bitter at your own pathetic lives. As for politics, the stars are entitled to say what they want, last time I checked it's a free country. Seems to be you people just can't handle anyone disagreeing with your own opinions.

What are you talking about ? Penn doesn't ever do blockbuster vehicle films. He does smaller indie type films because they have better scripts and are generally smarter than big studio movies. Penn has never cared about doing films with mass appeal that will do great at the box office.
