One of the most unfortunate downfalls ever

James Woods probably had some of the best acting talent in the history of cinema. he's captivating in nearly every movie, even bad ones like Cat's Eye and Stuart Little 2. But now he's tinfoil hat conspiracy theorist who clearly deals with deep-rooted paranoia issues. Nobody ever wanted to check his brain out and look where it got him. It goes beyond being conservative or Republican; the dude is just flat out nutters. I image he has some sort of personality disorder that's never been diagnosed.

Yup. At his prime, he elevated everything he was in, even Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within.

[–] ShogunofYonkers (72891) 3 months ago

Yeah, he was a great talent, I really enjoyed his performances in a number of fine films.
It does seem that some of his political leanings led to his loss of acting work. That's a damn shame.

What are the conspiracy theories he's peddling?

[–] quartz (414) a month ago

see x or twitter or whatever you want to call it now (I don't browse his page regularly)

[–] SandyR (7556) 20 days ago

I see you were told to go find out on your own. Typical corporate leftists... Make an accusation, then refuse to provide evidence when called on it. It's astonishing these witless fucks control the zeitgeist.

Was that comment something to do with me?

[–] Toomer (33) 20 days ago

Yes, it's obvious that comment had something to do with you.

[–] willjbeau (644) 18 days ago

Lol, it's the right wingers who refuse to back up their claims. Every time you ask for evidence of something they cryptically reply "Google" or "Do your research".

[–] SandyR (7556) 18 days ago

Who's the "right winger"?

[–] Filmtenk2 (3432) 18 days ago

James Woods is an incredible acting talent and I'll still watch & enjoy many of his films today.

From his Twitter within the last day:
"Feeling confident behind the millions of illegals he's imported, plus the proven grift of mail-in ballot harvesting, Joseph Biden knows this upcoming "election" is a slam dunk. He has even promised to import Palestinian "refugees," ..."

I have no problem with good faith conservative arguments, I may even agree with some of them. But casting doubts on the integrity of 2020 and future elections isn't helping us as a country. It's crackpot stuff and James Woods, a very smart man, knows better. Maybe he thought stirring shiz up creating publicity would lead to more roles? Idk. The dudes an acting legend & probably could have worked the rest of his life in high esteem if he didn't go down this road.

James Woods, an accomplished actor with roles in films like Casino and Once Upon a Time in America, is also known for his exceptional intelligence. With an estimated Iq of 180, Woods attended MIT on a full scholarship, studying political science before dropping out to pursue acting.

[–] BKB (6660) 17 days ago

Joe Biden simply didn't get 81 Million votes and I don't blame Woods and alot of people feel that way too after what we've had to endure from this Administration in just 4 years

[–] Porsche911 (2695) 20 days ago

Back in 2015 he was an avid republican around town. This was a period when most actors reformed and became democrats. Woods refused and ended up being fired left and right.
He never bothered to reach for a comeback.
He’s very pro Israel and loves the Jew so he will probably be back at some point! Reformed.

[–] liscarkat (16907) 18 days ago

You don't "reform" from being a Republican. You grow up from being a Democrat. At least people with higher IQs do.

[–] strntz (11053) 17 days ago

I don't think IQ has anything at all to do with it - I know plenty of very low and very IQ folks on the same sides.

I think it comes down to having common sense, which is something that strangely doesn't have much to do with intelligence.

To your point - most people who change ideologies as they age tend to move more right than left.

[–] buzzlightbeer (1823) 18 days ago

you made me curious so i went and looked at his twitter and i don't see anything odd at all.

my suspicion is you came here to deliberately fade the man.

[–] TheArgentinian (6560) 18 days ago

you must be a right wing nutjob like him, then.

[–] parkerbot (5946) 18 days ago

Well enlighten us, list some of his wacky conspiracy theories and whatnot.

[–] buzzlightbeer (1823) 17 days ago

exactly.

[–] buzzlightbeer (1823) 17 days ago

lol

pitiful response.

[–] parkerbot (5946) 17 days ago

Did he say that Ashley Biden said her dad showered with her when she was eleven?

Even that Oracle of Truth, Snopes, admits she made the allegation:

[–] buzzlightbeer (1823) 17 days ago

i really don't give a fuck

[–] david80848688 (231) 18 days ago

I want to see him and Robert De Niro get into a heated spat, like in Once Upon A Time in America.

[–] quartz (414) 18 days ago

Some of what James Woods says is reasonable. No one's arguing about people who are saying they are a female if they still have a d1ck. No one's arguing that Starbucks is being retarded by putting a poster of a woman with their t*ts cut off, saying they are now a guy. Because they want to sell cups of fucking coffee. "oh no, it's representation". yeah, it's that, and not "buy our stuff".

I mean fuck, it was a dickless ad campaign (get it yeah, because it had a fucking tr*n in it) but I still mentioned it.

One of his recent posts is of a plane that landed without it's front undercarriage, with the phrase "diversity is our strength". **** *** actual **** *** **** *** ** ** with ************* airplane *************? ******* if **'* ********** **** Boeing *** ********* ******* ********** to ******** airplanes, **** **. ***** ****. ***** **** ******** ****** protocols.

Half of the last week of his timeline just seems to ** ***** ******** *****. Which you can agree or disagree with.

I'm here for moviechat.org. not ** ** *** * **** ********.org, or **** *** **** ***** ************** ***.com. but ******r. it's a fuckin m*d, m*d, m*d, m*d world.

Basically he's a ********t and I'm agreeing with you.

If anyone's wondering, no one's saying we don't all fucking h*** i**igr**ts. We have craploads of them coming over in dinghy's from France, because the French don't want them. (it's why we say nice things to France in Eurovision - in the hope they'll s***t a few of them in return). I just think (in this example) blaming faulty landing gear on employing illegal br**n people is....slightly far fetched. But no doubt true. It didn't actually blame them, it implied them, which isn't better. I mean I wouldn't want an illegal b***n person conducting safety checks on the integrity of landing gear on a commercial aircraft I was flying on. or someone yelling all** fucking ***bar, I'd want some ******* ***** **** ** ****** of ****** **** ***** **** ****** ** their ass
