Imani: De Niro’s Trump obsession and Hollywood’s hypocrisy

May 19, 2025 Amil Imani

For over a decade, Robert De Niro, one of Hollywood’s most celebrated actors, has been a vocal critic of Donald Trump, escalating his attacks from pointed critiques to expletive-laden rants. His disdain for the former president, whom he has called everything from a “punk” to a “clown,” has become as defining as his iconic roles … Read more

Hollywood Is On Strike. Who Cares

July 16, 2023 Ray Cardello

The Hollywood writers have been on strike since May, and nobody noticed. This week, the actors and actresses joined the writers; again, nobody noticed. The actors and actresses in Hollywood are the most narcissistic people on earth and survive from self-aggrandizing under the watchful eyes of most Liberals. Some of the more fortunate land million … Read more

Blogline of the Day – Is There a Bit of “Anti-Patriarchy” Going On as Hollywood Seemingly Wants Strong Female Leads Instead??

March 17, 2023March 16, 2023 Skip

CHRISTIAN TOTO: Is Paramount Feuding with William Shatner? “The exclusion of James T. Kirk in modern ‘Star Trek’ marketing is yet another example of efforts to diminish Shatner’s contribution and to emasculate strong male characters on television and at the movies.” Look, his ego is indeed as big as the outdoors (er, the solar system? or Milky … Read more

Bill Maher Takes on Anti-Gun Hollywood’s Culture of Violence

June 13, 2022 Steve MacDonald

It’s time for another installment of Leftist Bill Maher said something with which Conservatarians can (almost, sort of) agree. We like these because it feels like it validates our position. But let’s be clear we don’t need Bill Maher’s indulgence to be correct.

WOKE is the New Pandemic

April 3, 2022 Ray Cardello

The new Pandemic will not feature Dr. Anthony Fauci and his daily noon updates on lockdowns and mandates. The new Pandemic will not require masks, but a barf bag may be suggested.

Tuesday Overnight Thread – Joe Biden and Mixed-Race Couples Edition, Man!

June 8, 2021 Steve MacDonald

Joe Biden made an observation recently. He noticed that most commercials have mixed-race couples in them. This, he says, shows the cultural direction of the nation. Joe is right that there are more of these commercials, but wrong about everything else.

The Oscars – If Somebody Watched It, It Wasn’t Me!

April 27, 2021April 27, 2021 Skip

Disclaimer: I don’t like 98% of most movies. I hate sitting through them without the possibility of multitasking. And most of Hollywood’s offerings aren’t worth the spit in my mouth. Furthermore, if I want to get preached at, I go to church. So, now this.

House Resolution: Remove NETFLIX Film, “Cuties,” – Ask DOJ to Investigate Potentially Illegal Content

Reverse Racism Grips Hollywood – #Woke White Workers Prepare to Be Wiped Out

July 15, 2020 Steve MacDonald

It couldn’t have happened to a “nicer” bunch. White liberals who work in Hollywood (or for movies and TV) are worried that the current wave of reverse racism is coming for their jobs. Writers, composers, producers. Pro-Tip: They are, and you only have yourselves to blame.

Oscar Woes – Not Enough Left-Handed Albino Lesbian Nominees for Best Score

January 13, 2020 Steve MacDonald

The Oscar’s announced their nominees, and no one who matters cares. So, why bring it up? Because the people who do matter, us, need to pay attention to the people who think they matter, them. How they behave tells us a lot about the political elites with whom they rub elbows.

Wake up and Laugh – Ricky Gervais Wrecks Hollywood at the Golden Globes

January 14, 2022January 6, 2020 Steve MacDonald

If you do not follow me on twitter it’s no great loss. You can see most of what I share here. But last night Ricky Gervais was ripping up Hollywood at the Golden Globes and it is must-see TV.

October 5, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Every few months, Robert DeNiro rants about how awful Donald Trump is, but guess what? According to the Hollywood Reporter, Ms. Graham Chase Robinson, a former VP of DeNiro’s production company, has filed a lawsuit accusing DeNiro of Sexual discrimination and harassment.

If we are about to start “having a conversation” about guns before adding new legislation to previous legislation, which doesn’t stop violence, how about some new, sensible ideas I am sure progressives can support.

Golden Globe Trophy - and no one bashed Donald Trump

2019 Golden Globes Honors “Donald Trump” by Not Mentioning Him At All

January 7, 2019 Steve MacDonald

Entertainment Award show hosts, presenters, or winners bashing President Donald Trump is expected. Big-Mouth Limousine Liberals don’t typically pass on the opportunity. Microphone. Audience. Trump Derangement Syndrome. Boom! That’s how they roll. Ratings are tumbling anyway so why not. Wait, what? It’s not just about the art? Ratings matter? They do, so this year’s Golden Globes managed to run from … Read more

Since newly elected US Rep Alexandria Ocasio-Ortez (Democrat Socialist-NY) wants to raise income taxes to 70 or 80%

January 6, 2019January 6, 2019 Skip

How fast would these 1%-er “The rich” actors become Conservatives when the Democrat Socialist Utopian Government demands that they “pay their fair share” using a Socialist AOC’s definition, eh? (H/T: Powerline)

Pledge Allegiance To Obama!?

September 26, 2018September 20, 2012 Steve MacDonald

You heard right. The latest trick to come out of the Obama campaign hat. Take a picture of yourself, hand over heart–something vapid written on your hand (policy memes in a vacuum) so everyone can see it, and post it to show your undying support for Dear Leader. I’m not sure what strikes me as … Read more

“The Dark Knight Rises”: Arise, capitalism and freedom….

September 26, 2018July 30, 2012

Has anyone seen The Dark Knight Rises? I haven’t. Not that I have anything against Batman. It’s just not a movie that was on my A-List (and nothing need be said about the killings last week in Colorado; this is about the movie, not the apparently insane killer).

Now it is.

In today’s Wall Street Journal, novelist and PJ Media contributor Andrew Klavan has a fascinating interpretation of the movie. In the Journal column, Batman Battles the Politics of Resentment Klavan shows the movie to be “a bold apologia for free-market capitalism [and] a graphic depiction of the tyranny and violence inherent in every radical leftist movement….”

Are 3D Movies The Future Of Cinema?

September 26, 2018January 30, 2012 Steve MacDonald

Is 3D worth the extra cost and is it the future of cinema — Is 3D worth the extra cost

I read somewhere that within the movie industry there is a growing consensus that 3D movies are the future of the big screen experience. My initial reaction was that this is only true the way unemployment is the future of job growth in Obama’s America. Just because Nancy Pelosi says it is doesn’t make it so. ?

And the problems are related. Movies in 2D are already too expensive. 3D, which is the Mc Donald’s Drive-Thru cashiers equivalent of adding the apple pie to every order because there is no alternative, puts the big screen experience for the average American family out of reach. My response to that is to just stay home, and not just because you can’t get a lower ticket price if you bring your own 3D glasses. I have discovered what I like to call my Red Box mentality. It goes something like this.
