@stratosranger He is nothing now but a foul mouthed bully and a liberal hack. Its too bad, he used to be very good. Heat was the last movie he did that I didnt hate him.
@TexChik I'm of two minds about this man. On the one hand he's a fine actor in a tough and fickle industry whose earned his respect through talent, skills, and decades of hard work. On the other hand his loss of control of his mouth on public forums is indicative of an eager willingness to jeopardize that hard-earned respect and dignity and toss his career down the tubes due to his willful removal of the filter between his mind and that mouth of his. That willful removal of the important skill of selective verbalization of thoughts has indeed brought him down several pegs. I was in no way aware that De Niro was such a whining, simping, leftist weasel. So when I heard what he had to say, I was a bit surprised and disappointed to say the least.
I very much enjoy and willingly pay to see actors and actresses perform good theater illustrating on stage the slings and arrows of life we all endure in different ways. Especially when supported by great script and story line. However, De Niro's inability to control his political views and spew personal filth on a national forum has definitely made me view him with less respect and dignity. After all this time, underneath that shiny veneer of celebrity and mystery lies nothing more than a pompous, conceited, angry little man with money who gets paid to act like he's someone else. I don't go to the box office to pay good money to be lectured to.
Therefore, although I typically root for the groom in divorce cases, I waive this one. I'm glad to hear that the judge presiding in the Robert De Niro/Grace Hightower divorce case has ruled that he must pay Grace $1 million a year in alimony, $6 million toward buying a home of her choice, and sell the $20 million home. De Niro is a Democrat, and Hightower is a staunch Republican, but don't get me started.
