The far-left Hollywood Reporter ( THR )   only reached out to me almost ten years ago. Seth Rogen’s controversial political rambling ruined the highly anticipated documentary Steve Jobs ‘ box office, I thought it was after I’d made the argument. In order to support the commonsense notion that controversial celebrities harm their package office appeal, THR called me on the carpet to describe.
Thankfully, I was interviewed by the only good guy over there, Paul Bond ( who’s since moved to Newsweek ), so the Q&, A was reported accurately. But the idea of the meeting was clear: explain yourself, Nolte! But, I did — and did but using statistics, logic, and THR’s personal monitoring. I blatantly predicted that The Hateful Eight’s box office success would be harmed by Quentin Tarantino’s outrageous patronizing of the black community by vilifying police ( the film then failed ).
Needless to say, THR has ignored me ever since.
I do n’t mean to brag, but I’m proud of that interview because I winces at his past jobs a lot more than not. Oh, and if you’ve noticed, Seth Rogen is n’t making articles with his political accusations anymore. Nor is Tarantino.
However, I was formally challenged to clarify the commonsense notion that if a movie star or Ronald McDonald’s spokesperson offends half the customers, it will harm the bottom line because THR is therefore bubbled and tainted.
Because acknowledging it would harm the communist cause, THR refused to acknowledge that it was accurate. It was no more acceptable for naive actors and artists to believe that half of the country was being demonized as good PR.
What’s more,  , THR has not — as far as I’ve seen — suggested that if a celebrity becomes politically controversial, it will harm their charm — which, of course, is absurd. Of course, it damages the bottom line.
Also, think what? It suddenly happened. At long last,  , THR has admitted that , controversial political statements can damage a model’s appeal.
But, of course, there’s a disclaimer.
Guy, this is beautiful…
Anything that can be used to identify who or what THR is discussing will be intentionally removed:
It should be noted, too, that  ,]this big, famous star’s ] recent stances , on divisive political issues will make it difficult for even some longtime fans to wholeheartedly embrace him anymore. But for those willing to put aside reality for 90 minutes, as , ]his movie ] does with gusto, the … movie whips up a frothy sendup of storytelling tropes and clichés.
Sane people may include dozens and dozens of names in that sentence, all of them communist celebrities and celebrities whose “recent stances , on contentious social issues may make it difficult for even some long-time fans to fully embrace him again.”
THR could’ve written that phrase hundreds of times over the years, but ( as far as I’ve seen ) always has. The reason is clear. This fact cannot ever be shared within the bubbles that THR so fervently defends in order to advance the communist cause.
So why is THR telling the truth this time, about this guy?
Has Rob Reiner’s story suddenly been revealed to THR? Meryl Streep? Stephen King? Alec Baldwin? Nope, nope, nope, nope…
It’s Jerry Seinfeld.
You see, speaking out on a politician’s behalf can harm a star if the politician is accused of doing so in a way that undermines the communist cause, as Seinfeld did.
For miserable people.
But at least, even if it is ten years later, THR , has admitted I was straight.
