De Niro should move to a country more to his liking, like Afghanistan.
shareA bit of a provincial attitude, Guitar Kimg. As far as I can see, this isn't the usual "left" Hollywood anti-Trump diatribe but focuses on the state of American film these days. To call the current US film industry "a tragic dumbass comedy" is an attitude many of us would share who believe that over the past decade or so we have seen some of the worst films of our lifetimes.
And why would a highly paid actor want to move to Afghanistan? To hobnob with the Taliban? Be on the receiving end of American imperialism's "Mother Of All Bombs"?
Some of your comments have shown intelligence, Guitar King. This, however, is not among them.
He makes no mention of the state of movies, it's our entire country he is criticizing like the jackass he is.
shareYou are actually correct. I re-read the brief article and it does mention the state of the country as opposed merely to movies. Still, "in movie terms", I think it is plainly apparent that current American film and the state of the country are indeed "a tragic dumbass comedy". I suppose that's what happens to empires when they are reaching the point of their decline. This is not, contrary to what Democrats might tell you, due to Trump. Trump--boorish, vulgar, stupid, phony,--is symptomatic of a larger breakdown in American culture.
shareOur country was built on the principle of freedom of speech... when you get the point where you should blindly follow the leaders then we might as well join back with England and have a king again. I love this country but one of the reasons people attack us is because we've been bombing them and selling weapons to both sides often for economic motives. I don't excuse any terrorism... but if we stopped bombing these primitive nations and invested in healthcare and education instead we'd have a better country and a safer world. If you saw John Cena or the Rock beating a child... would you assume the child was evil? or that maybe the adult was in the wrong? This is how absurd it looks when you see a nation of our power beating the shit out of these weakling nations.

Economically, the U.S. is as uncivil financially as Afghanistan is uncivil socially.
You could say that the U.S. is better in ways; however, our business structure is really third world.
Lol. DeNiro trying to be president along with The Rock and Kanye West.
Look who's talking! Your latest movies are real gems like Dirty Grandpa, The Intern, Grudge Match, Killing Season, New Year's Eye... yeah, right.
Those are exactly that, tragic dumbass comedies!
Exactly! He did some amazing movies in the 70s, and he could have taken a small pay cut to do a great low budget movie like many other great actors did.
share@action & Mort...
AMEN!!!!
Yeah, I can walk around my office and get all of their various opinions too. Everybody's got one. The bubble living Hollywood guy whom I've never met nor never will meet has an opinion. It means nothing to me.
shareThe country was great for 8 years but in a span of 133 days it has turned to crap, says the actor who starred in Dirty Grandpa.
Oh the irony!!!
