According to the weekend box office it looks like almost everyone ignored Stallone's latest movie, "Bullet to the head", which may be a good prescription for his acting career. Stop already.
What is irritating about actors such as Stallone mouthing off about making guns illegal is that they made a fine bunch of money using guns as a primary prop in their movies and the majority of their movie ticket customers were likely gun owners or sons of gun owners.
So it is not just an actor that has disagreeable politics, it is actors thumbing their noses at the people who made them wealthy. Like a NASCAR racer who would pontificate that gas guzzlers ought to be banned. Yeah, should not expect that to go over well with the fan base.
