We can here the crickets chirping in the aisles…
[I’ve spent most of today just resting, and I believe it does me good. I finished yesterday feeling like I’d fallen down the stairs. Meanwhile, here’s a piece of good news.]
Hollywood was all in for Kamalalala Harris on Election Day: said a leading talent agent, “The biggest stars in the world endorsed her” (https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/01/25/hollywood-reeling-after-kamalas-loss-biggest-stars-in-the-world-losing-relevance-industry-wont-repeat-trump-resistance-playbook/).
Are you as tired of Far Left motormouth celebrities as I am? The agent lamented, “Hollywood no longer drives the culture.” I call that good news!
George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Beyonce–who still cares what these dindles say? They threw everything they had at Donald Trump and he still won, big-time.
And we won, too. America won, Hollywood lost.
Hollywood is a loser, and growing worse all the time. These day, if you want to watch a movie, better look for one made many years ago when things could still be considered entertainment instead of filth.
They have only themselves to thank for their current troubles.
One thing that occurred to me when I quit watching television was that people on TV and in movies are no more important than anyone else. If a television star walks down the street, they will be recognized by all sorts of people, but to someone who doesn’t watch TV, they are no more significant than anyone else. If some famous Hollywood celebrities voice an opinion, it is no more significant than anyone else’s opinion.
I’ve long felt that many celebrities abuse their fame. There’s nothing wrong with having an opinion, but when someone famous uses their fame to influence others, there are a lot of willing sycophants just panting at the prospect.
The answer isn’t some new law. It really comes down to the individual. People need to learn to think for themselves and not form their opinions based upon what a familiar face tells them.
Absolutely correct, unknowable2. I do not understand people who consider these actors as important people to fawn over. It should be evident that they get themselves into more trouble than almost anyone else, and have less dignity than a lot of other people.
There is something I’ve noticed about people, and that is the fact that they equate popularity and mass media presence with legitimacy. If someone is known from television, they are taken seriously, even if they have done nothing to deserve respect.
At the very root of this is idolatry. Many people seem to want a visible god, and will attach their devotion to a human whom they admire. It’s natural to react to a familiar face, and TV exposes us to many faces. It’s only natural to respond to a familiar face, but that doesn’t mean that every familiar face is worth listening to.
Popularity = Wisdom & competence?
No.
Unfortunately, in our era, that is the way it works for many people.
Now Hollywood has nominated a man who claims he is a woman who plays a woman in a movie for best actress – sounds like he is a shoe-in to win because DEI still reigns in Hollywood while everyone else is running from it.
They have embraced self-destruction.
