The movie studios should only blame themselves. They, many of their writers, and many of their stars simply could not resist making political statements. Which is really really stupid when you are selling a product that you want as many people to consume as possible.

The political shit can work if it jives with the product you sell (meaning the type of people who enjoy your product would be drawn in by you espoting your political views) an example of this would be a Michael Moore type, the people who watch something he makes would likely be increase by his political activity. Cannot say the same about products intended to go mass market.

?????? You right wingers crack me up.  Take off your tin foil hat please and take your meds.  There haven't been making any political statements in any major movies lately.  The box office is down because we had a bunch of crap movies and uninspired sequels so far this year.

Right winger? I guess if you have to resort to name calling you have no legitimate response. 

Also I was reffering more to things they people themselves are doing. It distracts from their product. See Johnney Depp as a good recent example. 

They have every right to spout off stupid shit but I just wish they wouldn't because it distracts from the product. Michael Jordan had/has it right. He was once asked why he does not make political statements and his response was "Republicans buy shoes too"
