Actor forbids ‘bigots and homophobes’ from watching his work following Supreme Court ruling

[surada]

Works for me. The artist has a right to his work. He was able to do that before the SCOTUS decision. Nothing has changed there.

Ignore Imperoli. He doesn't own that film. He's fos.

It hasn't taken long for the tit-fo-tat to open up over the SCOTUS decision on Colorado's public accommodations law. With the court now deciding that a product involving creative expression can be withheld if the creator doesn't like the buyer's lifestyle choices, why should an actor not also have a right to deny people access to their work as well?

There are a growing contingent of "Americans" who seem to think that the only way for a society to be free is to descend into endless tit-for-tat pokes in the eye every time someone doesn't like something about someone else. In the end, it can only lead to the disintegration of American society into little more than a tribal confederation, and that's only if it manages to avoid devolving entirely into petty city-states.

You cannot claim to believe in America as the greatest nation-state in the world, and that America should seek to remain the greatest, strongest, most powerful nation-state on God's green earth, while at the same time longing for it to devolve into a weak collection of loosely associated chiefdoms. China is rising and we are sinking. If you want to drive us down further then you aren't a patriot.


I’ve decided to forbid bigots and homophobes from watching The Sopranos, The White Lotus, Goodfellas oussr any movie or tv show I’ve been in,” Imperioli said in the caption of a post on his Instagram page Saturday, adding “Thank you Supreme Court for allowing me to discriminate and exclude those who I don’t agree with and am opposed to. USA! USA!”

If we give up on trying to use to government to force shit on each other, maybe we'll realize how stupid all this crap is and move on.

I don't care what he says, I don't watch his shows anyway. I have a rule against watching movies that are made by idiots.

They weren't his shows.

 

[Papageorgio]

They weren't his shows.

I don't care, I never watched them or cared to watch them. His statement has no bearing in my life, he is some moron thinking his opinion should be considered.

How many people are streaming The Godfather tonight? 6? 10? If it’s available at all?

It’s like that musician that wanted off of Spotify. Who the hell cares.

Guess what? Regardless what the loon demands you can still stream it.

He looks like an idiot

 

[ozro]

I would recommend, if one just had to see those films that is, to download it from a torrent site. Then the fools won't make any money.

Works for me. The artist has a right to his work. He was able to do that before the SCOTUS decision. Nothing has changed there.

It's a rare artist that owns his masters.

And even if he did, it wouldn't matter.

If your stuff's on YouTube you can't stop anyone from using it

 

[Stormy Daniels]

Does this guy even own the rights to these movies?

Who said anything about copyrights? That certainly didn't have anything to do with what the court said.

Sorry, I believe accuracy is still important.

No, but the thread title said he did.
