It's hard being a lackey for a Marxist mass-murderer these days

Benicio del Toro was doing an interview about Che for the Washington Times and got his little feelwings huwt when it wasn't the puff piece he thought it was going to be:

"I'm getting uncomfortable," Benicio del Toro said after fielding a question about his new movie's portrayal of the Bolivian and Cuban revolutions. "I'm done. I'm done, I hope you write whatever you want. I don't give a damn."
With that, the Oscar-winning actor walked away, abruptly terminating an interview conducted late last week to discuss director Steven Soderbergh's "Che."

Awwwww.

1 If I had more energy right now, I'd dig up Soderbergh's interview from a few days ago where he's all "Yeah, whatever" about Che's penchant for massacre.

I really really wish these fucktard actors could manage to keep their yaps shut. I think del Toro is a great actor and have enjoyed his performances. Now that I know how much of a dipshit he is, however, I'm going to have trouble watching anything else he makes.

It's not just hitting them with the ban-stick for their political idiocy. I just don't want to know anything about them so I can believe their characters. It's like trying to watch Tom Cruise movies ... no matter what the hell he does, I'm going to have the image of a manic dwarf jumping on a couch in my head.

5 The upside? When Hollywood actors speak it makes me think I'm really, really, really, really, really smart.

6 If I only watched or listened to entertainers whose politics I agreed with I'd have to throw out probably all of my CDs and never watch a movie ever again.

7 I told someone last night that if I only read/watched/listened to etc stuff from people I agree with politically, then I'm left with only my own works. Yeah. No. But this free speech thingy? Goes both ways. So I feel perfectly free to tell Benicio to stfu.
