C'mon, you guys really boycott films and/or actors because of their stance on guns in their personal life?
As a matter-of-fact, I do... And for other sordid reasons I won't mention on this particular forum. So, no, I not only refuse to view network television, I am highly discriminatory regarding the movies I watch as well. But most of the time I entertain myself with more creative pursuits anyway.

If you want to discover just how wacky and morally bankrupt most actors and actresses are, just peruse their bios at the IMDb. Believe me, it's an eye opening experience.

Believe me, I don't think celebrities are any better than anyone else... but so many are in some way attached to anti-gun organizations that there would be nothing to see if I boycotted them.

Off the top of my head...

Sean Connery
Sylvester Stallone
Mark Wahlberg
Matt Damen
Arnold Schwarzenegger
Kevin Costner
Sigourney Weaver
James Brolin
George Clooney
Jeremy Renner
Richard Dryfuss
Robert Redford

...and on & on, there are hundreds.

I would have missed movies like The Hurt Locker, Lone Survivor, Shooter, Alien films, Conan, Rocky films, Jaws, Bourne films, Dances with Wolves... and early Bond films.

The only two actor/actresses that I allow politics to influence me are Hanoi Jane (what she did and when was unforgiveable) and Sigourney Weaver. In truth, for the rest of them, whether I see their movie or not won't keep them from their next Monaco vacation. I never could stand the Alien-series movies, although my wife loves them. For the rest of the idiots on that list, they'll get theirs when the zombie or SHTF riots start and no one comes to their aid. It's all good karma, and they have bad karma....

No, just when they use their "pedestal" to view their opinions. I care as much about an actor's opinion on firearms as I do about my plumber's. If either is idiotic enough to express their opinion simply because they have our momentary attention as an actor, I will boycott their films. I have no problem with anyone having a personal opinion to which I might disagree; I do have a big problem with them using their "status" to express their view. Seems somehow illogical I think; sort of like biting the hand that feeds them, eh? <G>
