Blacklisting Ernest Borgnine

Ernest Borgnine

Hollywood via the LA Times is doing a remake of McHale’s Navy with a recommendation to blacklist 93-year old actor Ernest Borgnine.

From John Nolte at Big Hollywood:

If nothing else, you have to give the entertainment media credit for its inability to hit bottom. There is no low low enough for these people and just when you think they can’t possibly sink any lower, somehow they always manage to summon up that little something necessary to go the extra mile in the department of outright cruelty.

Why would Mr. Nolte write this you ask?

Last week the Screen Actors Guild announced that Ernest Borgnine will receive a Lifetime Achievement Award at next years awards ceremony. The 93 year-old Oscar-winner’s been making films since 1951 and is still active today, including a role in the upcoming Bruce Willis blockbuster “Red.”

From the erstwhile  LA Times: (Emphasis LCs)

While Borgnine’s work ethic is admirable — he has three films due out this year — his personal politics are less than laudable. Four years ago, he waded into the discussion about the merits of the movie “Brokeback Mountain,” the first film to feature A-list talent in a gay love story. As Borgnine told Entertainment Weekly, “I didn’t see it and I don’t care to see it. I know they say it’s a good picture, but I don’t care to see it.” Then he added, “If John Wayne were alive, he’d be rolling over in his grave!”

Such sentiments were widespread enough in Hollywood to cause “Brokeback Mountain” to stumble in the home stretch of the awards derby.

Mr. Nolte continues with his opinion on the LA Times “analysis.”

Yes, someone’s still childishly stoking their outrage over ”Brokeback Mountain’s” loss to “Crash” at that year’s Academy Awards, and that someone has a spirit mean enough to want to see Borgnine pay for the “homophobic snub.” And you can bet that for all these years these vicious cultural enforcers have been sitting on Borgnine’s comment, just waiting for the opportunity to strike back. And not just for the cheap thrill found in petty revenge either, but to put the entire industry on notice with a very intimidating and chilling warning that says, ”No one gets a pass. No one. Not even 93 year-old legends. You will conform, or you will pay a heavy price.”

What kind of bastard gets off on the idea of making miserable a man in his 90s by labeling him a bigot on a site read by everyone in the industry — you know, because he wasn’t interested in watching two men have explicit big-screen sex? Just how hateful and intolerant do you have to be to publicly float the suggestion that the rug be pulled out from under someone because he wasn’t interested in seeing the movie you wanted to win the Oscar?

Don’t have an opinion in or around Hollywood. Don’t speak your mind in Hollywood’s America. Don’t disagree with the Marxist’s in the film industry or bankrupt news rags.

Simply do what I do. Don’t support movies with Marxist, pro-Obama, anti-Conservative actor’s or actresses in them. Blacklist Hollywood. Indeed!

    I’ve been doing that for years… won’t watch them on tv, won’t go to their movies, and certainly don’t buy their DVD’s.

    They preach “freedom of speech”, but only for those who agree with their pinko philosophy.

    Three cheers for Ernest Borgnine!
