I am so disappointed that Sly Stallone is attending Drumpf's New Year Eve party.

I know he is a nominal Republican but his iconic Rocky character would hate a guy like Trump. I used to joke that Rocky would make a great friend. He was totally absent of guile. Although he was a simple man there was not a trace of racism or bigotry in him.

I have a hard time separating people's politics from their art...

Disappointing...

1. "I have a hard time separating people's politics from their art... "

I can be totally inconsistent about it.

A perfect example is Valery Gergiev.

2. I'm sure he is devastated.

I really don't understand why people place any significance on the views of celebrities.

4. I am pleased whenever you respond to my thread so please keep responding.

I know pleasing me is your raison d'etre.

7. I'm sure it's quite a shock to you

to discover that people have strong emotional investments in their political views.

3. Stallone is a nominal celebrity in my book.

Much like Chachi, he has nothing to lose.

5. I wonder how much he is being paid to show up.

6. Don King will be there, I'm sure...

A character based on King was Rocky's foil in Rocky V which by the way was the worst of the series, by far.

8. I thought I read fairly recently that Stallone was advocating for sensible gun control

I would think that would piss off most Republicans

9. Correct and he opposed the hounding of Bill Clinton and donated to the DNC and Dems.

10. Rocky was fictional and

Stallone has shown his true self.

11. Ass kissers

All.

[Vinca]

12. He's an idiot. He and Trump are like 2 peas in a pod.

I read somewhere that Stallone doesn't want people like his maid looking him directly in the eyes. He's every bit as full of himself as Trump.

[msongs]

13. washed up actor with minimal talent beyond his looks and physique. let him party cuz his looks

and physique have abandoned him

[panader0]

14. I never cared for the ex-porn star-"The Italian Stallion"

Him and Steven Seagal, Chuck Norris etc...
