Movie stars are idiots. Deal with it.

I'd like to believe Sam Jackson had a little too much of
his own home brew, but the reality is he's just an idiot.

So after Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson talked about something they have no intelligent opinion on and a recent poll looked at what types of films conservatives and liberals enjoy, I got to thinking: What if I got rid of every film starring, written, produced or directed by someone I disagree with politically?


I'd have (at least) less than half of what I own now. Below is a list of the movies I own. The ones that are crossed out are the ones with an actor or another filmmaker with whom I disagree with politically. This list is not definitive and if I really looked deeper into it I'd have more strikethroughs.


Also, the list is just for fun. Spare me your comments on the Tea Party, the "Occupy" protests, Obama, Palin, etc. OK, here we go:

To emphasize my point, nine of my Top 10 favorite movies are crossed out (Note: I count the Star Wars Saga as one film).

To further emphasize my point, Freeman and Jackson couldn't have been more racist at a more opportune time. Stupid comments? Yes. Stupid enough for me to say "I'm not going to see The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises?"

Hell no.

Moral of the story? If you watch the Lethal Weapon films and see a Jew hater and a global warming psycho instead of buddy cop action you should lighten up.

Out.
