Liberals didn't boycott Clint Eastwood after the infamous chair speech at the RNC, did they?

First of all, leftists boycott everything. Leftists boycott human life, they want humans to be eradicated in the name of lowering carbon dioxide, so you're second sentence is just dumb. Dumb with a capital D dumb.
Second, Robert De Niro is a great fucking actor. He's a playing a pawn to a weird political ideology out of touch with average Americans, but he's a great fucking actor and I'll always enjoy Goodfellas and Casino.

Can loony Leftist Argentinians still enjoy Argentina with Javier Milei as president?
shareEveryone should enjoy his movies.
shareOnly to watch his dumb ass get shot in Heat.
shareI think De Niro's comments as of late are beyond moronic, and that he hasn't made a worthwhile film in nearly 30 years (though JOKER had its moments). However I do not hold that against his early work as most everything he did up to RONIN were excellent films and his performances were generally powerful and excellent. TAXI DRIVER, CASINO, GOODFELLAS, HEAT, THE KING OF COMEDY, the CAPE FEAR remake etc are all among my favorite films. He's even great in his early smaller supporting roles in MEAN STREETS and BLOODY MAMA. Generally the tone of these movies is not really liberal in the modern sense of the word either, but then again I wouldn't consider Trump to really be that much of a conservative.
It does shake my opinion of an actor when they come out as some political activist one way or the other (I'd prefer actors just stick to acting and out of politics or social commentary), but I try not to let it affect my opinion of the films themselves. An exception I would make for newer films though where the box office matters, and would boycott movies Bri Larson has been in due to some of her comments, but then again I've never been interested in Marvel movies anyway (or most movies in general made in recent years either).
He is an insufferable cunt who has become unwatchable.
