James Woods Is Not Just A Republican…. He’s A Mean Douche Too

Share:

Oh James Woods. How i used to love you. Before you turned into male embodiment of Roseanne Barr. You know… The Trump loving, hate speech promoting, conspiracy theory believing, right to chose criticizing, right wing lunatic. And you’ve probably heard the news about him though… The 2 time Oscar nominated actor revealed to his over 1.5 million Twitter followers that his agent Ken Kaplan had dropped him as a client on the night of the Fourth of July. Kaplan sent Woods an email saying he was “feeling patriotic” and did not want to represent Woods anymore, so as usual, Woods went on a Twitter tirade right after that. You know in order to relieve himself from his anger and disappointment.

For years and years now, Woods claims that his career has suffered and he’s been blacklisted by the liberal folks in Hollywood, just because he holds conservative values and he’s strong Republican party supporter. His last credited acting role was in 2014’s Jamesy Boy and he had a voice over role in the 2016 animated movie Bling. Since then, he’s been notorious Twitter troll, and has been accused of sexual misconduct allegations from 3 different actresses. Let’s just say that James Woods is not in the best shape of his life, career and life wise and it’s only his fault.

Now, his Wikipedia page states that he’s been registered Republican from 1999 (he’s been a Democrat before) and yeah, that’s the date we can all pinpoint where his career took a nosedive. But to say that he’s been blacklisted just because he’s a conservative Republican is a bit much. No Mr. Woods, you’re not being blacklisted and ostracized because you’re a conservative. Nobody wants to work with you because you’re an asshole. Even your agent, let alone you colleagues and peers.  There are plenty or conservative Republicans in Hollywood that have fulfilling careers, and you have could be in that bracket, if you were a bit more compassionate and you know… less of a douche.

Another reason for the demise of his career is the fact that he’s not making good film choices and he’s not bankable anymore. Happens to plenty of actors, but with a little luck and good career guidance he could have had a career revival years ago. If only he would now antagonizes and piss off half of the people in Hollywood. If only he would stay away from Twitter. If only.

There’s a fine line between being a conservative and an asshole, and he crossed that line years ago. What he still doesn’t get is that freedom of speech doesn’t mean freedom from consequences. Roseanne Barr learned that last month, and James Woods this week. But let’s now dwell on Wood’s views and poor life choices. Let’s look back at his finer points, and the only redeemable quality in this shell of a man. His movies. I’ve selected 15 of his movies that i enjoy to this very day, despite the fact that he’s in them. He was a great actor and he has movies to prove it. He’re some of his best movies.

    Yep, he’s a giant asshole. He used to be a great actor, but now he’s just a washed up asshole. All these washed up assholes grab on to being a conservative as a way to stay in the limelight. Look at all these losers shilling for Trump–Scott Baio, Stacey Dash, Dean Cain–they’re not even D list. They’re all Z list.
