i am having quite an internal battle. my oH is quite the boycotter of things he doesn’t agree with, and most of it has been in the movies he chooses to watch. he is a movie-lover and he got me to be a movie-lover. And, because most ‘hollywood’ folks can’t just entertain us, they have to spill their political views. Now there is quite a long list of who he will not watch anymore. This, of course, affects what i choose to watch at home, if we want to watch something as a couple.

what to do… well, I did make one step. i updated our netflix with more amiable movies that both of us would watch. there are some movies that i am just not ready to let go of.

don’t get me wrong, i have had my own boycotts in my time. i boycotted wal-mart and target 2 years ago when they wouldn’t advertise ‘christmas’ in their ‘christmas/holiday’ ads, which make them tons of money. and, it did make a difference. it made national news, which others joined in.

but, how much will it hurt to watch the latest outspoken or even the subtle ‘hollywood’ entertainer? i do not want to name them because i don’t want to give them anymore ‘press’ for their uneducated/narrow-minded views. why can’t they choose to take the high road, and believe what they want and not throw it in our face of what THEY think is right.

i have made one big decision, which those that know me… this is BIG for me. I will not watch the OSCARS this year. I am tired of the ‘liberal’ forum they believe everyone wants to hear about.

i just love the movies! why can we not enjoy them for what they are…
