Movie Star Will Blame You

blame[Blind Gossip] This handsome movie actor is attacking an important political figure. In an interesting twist, we hear that the timing actually has a dual purpose!

It’s hardly a secret that he hates [Presidential Candidate], but if you’re wondering why his attack comes at this particular time, it’s actually strategic. He’s had four or five [box office] bombs in a row, he knows that this one going to bomb too, and he needs something or someone to blame. Who better to blame than an entire group of people he hates?

So it sounds like he is preparing to blame the fans if they actively boycott (or just don’t go see) his movie. We don’t know if this logic holds up… but it could make for an interesting distraction from the movie’s critical reviews!

    Johnny Depp

    Alice Through the Looking Glass (really? People think this will bomb?)

  10. Tanzania says

    George Clooney
    Donald Trump
    “Money Monster”

    Huh. I’ve actually heard “MM” is good. *shrug*

  12. brittanybliss223 says

    So many people dislike Trump, will just take a stab at a guess.

    Latest one in the news for slamming him is Johnny depp. However his upcoming movie is the Alice in wondeand sequel and I just don’t see that flopping. The last one made a ton of money. So I definitely could be wrong. My alternative guess would be George clooney who is very outspoken about politics.

  13. Pierre Latin says

    The actor is George Clooney. His new movie is a political and boring movie with Julia Roberts and Jodie Foster.

    Clooney is the worst of all people. Now, he blames Donald Trump and the Republicans for his 5 or 6 bombs.

  15. cocolily says

    George Clooney

    I don’t know the name of his latest movie, like I don’t know the names of most of his movies since I gave up a long long time ago. If I see his name linked with a movie, it’s a given it’ll be bad.

  20. graysonsmama says

    George Clooney, Money Monster (just doesn’t look good and wasn’t marketed properly)

  23. bigjinla says

    Actor: George Clooney

    Current film: Money Monster. It’s a crap film. Clooney only has himself to blame for making it.

  24. bubbasbbq says

    THis has to be the Closeted Clooney and that snoozefest “Money Monster”.
    I try to keep politics out of my entertainment, but if somebody is really obnoxious about it, then I get turned off.

    i hope it’s not a flop – but ugh – i’m so sick of julia roberts.

    • jacksonian says

      Did you see those two when they crashed James Carden’s Carpool Karyoke w/ Gwen Stafani? Neither are funny or attractive anymore.

  33. Buckskinlady says

    Johnny Depp

    Donald Trump’s the art of the deal

    Yoga Hosers

    Yes I have. I stopped going to see movies with Jackie Chan in them once he started badmouthing the US.

  34. LilGator says

    Clooney going after trump because Money Monster is going to bomb, just like Hail, Caesar!, A Very Murray Christmas, Tomorrow Land and Monuments Men… all movies I had never heard of until I looked at his IMDB

  38. robman7789 says

    Clooney

    and yes – anything with Sean Penn, Tim Robbins and Susan Sarandon. Except for Team America – that was HILARIOUS

  39. SouthJerseyGirl says

    George Clooney.
    Movie – Hail Caesar, If it played near where I live, it must have been gone instantly. I don’t know anyone who saw it. New movie is Money Monster but I don’t know if it’s done yet.

    I disagree the politics of a lot of actors, but it hasn’t stopped me from seeing their movies if it’s a movie I really want to seen.

  40. meowmasita says

    George Clooney’s criticism of Donald Trump… possibly? Money Monster is his current movie. And I agree, Trump sucks, but I would feel that way regardless of Clooney’s opinion. And I still won’t go see his new movie.

  42. 2BEAUCOUP says

    LOONY CLOONEY,
    PORGIE,YOU AIN’T THAT GOOD OF AN ACTOR,JUST ASK RANDY GERBIL!!!!!

    YOU’RE FILMS AREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT’S FLOPPY,WORD DAT.
    DOES YOUR BEARD ITCH,JUST SCRATCH AMAL.

    [Optional] Have you ever seen/not seen a movie simply because you agreed/disagreed with the politics of its star? Sometimes, if i really hate the actor for their tantrums or arrogance, i wouldn’t go watch their films… like i stopped watching anything with leah michelle in it.. while some other times, I’ll watch a movie for an actor (like meryl streep) but 75% of the times, it’s the trailer that makes me decide… if they can’t…

  45. salvadordolliparton says

    Stay with me here…

    Actor: George Clooney? Just criticized Trump at Cannes. Tomorrowland was a huge bomb. He’s in the movie with Jodie Foster, who was in “The Beaver” with Mel Gibson, who was in “Signs.” THUS explaining the picture.

    Current Film: Money Monster

    Have you ever seen/not seen a movie simply because you agreed/disagreed with the politics of its star? I wanted to not see Ender’s Game, but I’d waited for it for 13 years. So..

  46. celebiddy says

    Obviously hillary-loving clooney who sounds so ignorant whenever he talks politics. Just keep making crappy movies and stay in your lane. It’s sad how many people base their political opinions on what they hear from their favorite celebrities instead of actually doing their own research. (And i don’t mean reading biased nonsense like huffington post btw).

    And no. I keep my political and entertainment preferences separate. Though the more discriminatory hollywood gets against republicans…

  49. Aurelia says

    Actor: George Clooney

    Film: The one with Julia Roberts and corrupt banking on Wall Street.

    Optional : Nope. I won’t watch at W/D writer and director are the same. Won’t a W/D/P either: writer, director, producer. Hell No. They usually (999.999%) suck.

  51. hihotintin says

    Actor: Johnny Depp attacking Trump in a funny or die skit as him being the last president

    Current Film: Alice through the looking glass

  55. eryncuz88 says

    Johnny Depp

    Through the Looking Glass

    No, I usually have no idea who celebs promote.

  58. Jinkies says

    Actor: George Clooney
    Money: Money Monster

    Clooney is trying to link up his film’s plot with Donald Trump, however it links up much more closely with Hillary Clinton, especially since her unapologetic son-in-law is in the news today for losing 25 million dollars worth of his clients’ investment money after persuading them to invest in Greece’s government debt and bank stock. Mezvinky’s father served time in a federal prison for fraud in a Ponzi scheme.

  59. My2Brows says

    George Clooney, Money Maker or whatever it’s called with Julia Roberts. He’s definitely in a career slump… I wonder why. I don’t think I’ve ever seen or not seen a film due to the actor’s political leanings

  61. dynamodavid says

    George Clooney (too easy with his recent thumping of Trump!)
    Money Monster

    No. Otherwise, I’d never go see any movies. 🙂

  63. troubleintheforest says

    George Clooney. His last several movies have been flops: Tomorrowland, Monuments Men, Hail, Cesar, etc…Money Men was just in the news today as a projected flop. Politically? He’s been fundraising for HRC, he might blame conservatives & say they’re refusing to see his movies because he’s a liberal. But how he can blame that on the old bag, I have no idea.
    Sometimes I am less/more inclined to see a movie because of a stars personal beliefs, but in general boycotts are lame.

  64. Kerzep says

    Johnny Depp and Donald Trump

    Yup, I’ve not seen a Will Smith movie in a long time because I disagree with his parenting style (maybe not politics, but).

    • Whisper says

      I can see attacking Trump but Clooney raised mega bucks to elect a war criminal w MAJOR ties to wall street.

      Idiot! Yeah Clooney.

      I won’t support his films based on his war criminal adocacy alone.

  70. istartedajoke says

    George Clooney

    Money Monster

    No, I think it’s super dumb but it seems most people seem to disagree. Some actors get a lot of hate for being obvious at their political beliefs.

  71. emster says

    George Clooney
    Money Monster
    An actor’s political or religious beliefs have never kept me from seeing a movie. But if they start blaming the fans for their failures then that’s a different story.

  73. Camila says

    Johnny Depp.
    Through the Looking Glass or something like that.
    If they’re too vocal about politics or a cause, then I get annoyed and start to dislike the person. And yes, I might not be interested in a movie because of the celebrity but if it’s too good I get over it and watch anyway.

  75. HaNeull says

    Johnny Depp, with the current film “Through the Looking Glass”?

    The sign used in the blind is very reminiscent of the signs used in Alice in Wonderland. He’s also had a string of really unpopular movies (The Lone Ranger, Mortdecai, Dark Shadows, etc.), and Through the Looking Glass seems to be heading that way as well.

  76. vickyf89 says

    Actor: Johnny Depp hating on Trump (easy target, though)

    Current Film: a Donald Trump movie

    [Optional] Have you ever seen/not seen a movie simply because you agreed/disagreed with the politics of its star? Never. Do not mix matters.

  77. Selkie says

    George Clooney.

    I avoid movies with obnoxious liberal stars. Luckily, those movies always stink, so it’s not like I’m missing anything.

  79. NativeAtlantaGirl says

    Clooney
    Money Ball or whatever.

    I won’t see anything by Woody Allen or support Disney. But I rarely go to movies or watch them. In the past 4 yrs seen Martian, Jungle Book, & Purple Rain in theaters. (I snuck into Jungle Book after Purple Rain bc I won’t support any Disney emdeavors.)

  80. lepidoteran says

    Clooney
    Money Monster
    Sort of – not simply disagreeing but because I found the actor, or director to be obnoxious or offensive in their persona beyond just the beliefs.

  83. lisako says

    Johnny Depp
    no idea on the movie. Alice Through the Looking Glass? Pirates of the Carribean?

  85. PinkCrayon says

    George Clooney?
    Money Monster?

    I would say Johnny Depp, but he’s not handsome anymore and Alice in wonderland isn’t something you wouldn’t skip out on because of political views even though it looks stupid.

  86. Zap The Sheep says

    Johnny Depp

    The latest Alice or the next Pirates movie.

    [optional] I don’t pay for Tom Cruise movies or anyone that has top billing that is a $cientologist. That’s the only stuff I actively boycott on principle.

    • Jinkies says

      I feel the same way as you about Tom Cruise and other $cientologist celebrities. I won’t pay to see their movies or watch their TV shows and I won’t buy their music or products they hawk. I give Leah Remini a lot of credit for not only leaving that organization but for speaking our about the abuse and corruption going on, especially abuse to children, and how the cult vilifies and sets out to destroy all who dare to expose the truth about the cult.

    • slimfast10 says

      Ever since I saw the HBO documentary going clear, and frankly even before that, I refuse to pay a nickel for anything Tom Cruise or John Travolta, does. They are very twisted people involved in a sick cult cwhich preys on damaged people all for profit. Despicable…

    • PollyMetropolitan says

      That’s what I think, too. Depp just made some comment that if Trump is elected he’ll be America’s last president.

    • Pierre Latin says

      No. The blind said “he has 4 or 5 bombs in a row”. Only George Clooney is like that. Johnny Depp NEVER had 4 or 5 bombs in a row.

  93. Moonpie says

    George Clooney
    Money Monster
    He’s become persona non grata for movie goers at whatever political stance they have. I blame the wife. He will blame Trump and supporters for his movie bombings. Wrong. Well, let liberals support him and make him richer than he is.

  94. moses1684 says

    Johnny Depp,

    Don’t know because he can’t act anymore, he’s an ugly, fat slob.

  98. Nataliexyz says

    George Clooney trashing Donald Trump, and then blaming that on why people won’t see his terrible movies. He needs to hang it up. His movies have sucked for a long time.

    • lagally says

      Why do actors think anyone cares about their political views?
      Most actors are incredibly undereducated compared to the average American. Most are high school dropouts. So many of them are actually stupid. Beyoncé is illiterate. tom Cruise can barely read. Jennifer Lawrence has 10 years of school.Sean Penn 12 years. I laugh when I see reports that Cindy Crawford is smart Chemical engineering degree. She dropped out in first month of college. George is a not aging well and has an overinflated…

    • Darkclouds84 says

      Well, in Cindy’s defense, she did get a full scholarship to study chemical engineering after being valedictorian at her school, and she dropped out after a semester because her modelling career took off, not because she couldn’t handle the course.

    • Rottweiler says

      I always thought the same thing. Most of them are high school dropouts, so when I see George Clooney (drop out 2nd year in high school) pontificating politics, I have to laugh.

    • jokerjim65 says

      lagally….I am not sure if I could agree more with what you said! Very very well put, these bozos somehow think they have exalted wisdom due to being in the entertainment industry. An industry that has almost as many secrets and shady dealings as politics itself. Some, like Dexter Holland of The Offspring, are very intelligent; but, the overwhelming majority of them are infatuated with their own hubris.

      Great post!

    • DuchessofSilly says

      I agree. As a PhD of History from an Ancient University, I am vastly better educated on politics than most people. I may not like any of these politicians because I know what they are ALL about, but movie stars thinking that because they come from a political family in Kentucky (as do I Mr. Clooney) being able to toss about political views and think they are actually helping the situation when, in fact, he belongs to the Council on Foreign Relations – a highly suspect group – speaks volumes.

    • commonsense says

      I agree with you; however there is method to this madness. People in the entertainment industry are nothing more than pushers of governmental agendas. Celebs can influence the masses in such a way, that the government can’t; which is why celebrity endorsements, even from the White House, is a huge deal.

      Political understanding is not necessary to attack or endorse someone, when there’s something to promote, which is evident with clooney.

    • flower says

      I agree with this completely. It doesn’t help that Julia Roberts is in it. Looking at her makes me sick. Actually, they both do.
