SYLVESTER STALLONE, MEL GIBSON AND JON VOIGHT NAMED SPECIAL AMBASSADORS TO HOLLYWOOD?!

[@michaelstrong5383]

"Ambassadors of Hollywood" sounds like the equivalent of giving a gold star to a child. It doesn't mean anything in the grand scheme of things, but whatever makes them feel good about themselves.

[@carter_lovejoy]

It’s just participation trophy shit. He’ll do the same with musicians like Kid Rock, Ted Nugent, and Lee Greenwood as “Ambassadors of Music.”

[@gaimsharc7176]

Its hilarious... it's like the fake badge kids get, and now they're going to get even more ostracized from their industry

[@codybishop7526]

The far-right operates almost entirely on projection. Their problems and grievances are as flimsy as paper-once you apply any serious scrutiny, they collapse. The whole political movement thrives on theatrics, with hollow issues and equally empty solutions. It’s all a performance aimed at winning over voters who, frankly, may lack the critical thinking skills to see through the act.

They are going to advise Trump's team on what they believe will help the film industry in America

[@Fernando_616]

Lol… is separating reality from fiction a difficult task for you?

[@danieltobin4498]

Rambo would look at all the big talk from Trump and his cronies about making America strong again and all he’d say is “I’ve heard the same speeches and solutions from men in suits before. They didn’t work then, doubt they’ll work now.”

[@SharkZilla-07]

i grew up on Rocky & Rambo so I've always made a point to see any that comes out or watch the old ones if they're on.... I'm finally free from that obligation. ✌️💕🙏 from Chicago 🇺🇸

God forgive me. I didn’t even know Jon Voight was still alive. Anytime I see him I think of Anaconda when he was staring down J-Lo. Edit: I don’t understand any of these selections other than Stallone in that he can probably advise younger actors/actresses because if rumors are true he wrote the original “Rocky” script but somehow he’s now been pushed out of these Creed movies.

I can tell you for a good fact right now I don’t care what political side you’re on, nobody wants an Ambassador to Hollywood from the government control of the president. Does Trump really think these guys are going to report back to him with their leadership over the industry when that’s simply not how it works. As it is, these three are the last people I need running the industry. Don’t give me wrong, the industry has some issues that needs fixing, but I don’t think these three are going to have anything to do with that other than to make it their own and not care about the actual issues.

I see this as a good thing honestly, hopefully this will put some much needed male testosterone fun back into the film industry and less agenda pushing politics. I’m also not against films with a political storyline or a diversity message, but if your gonna do that, then do it well and put some real creative thought and effort into how the political diversity message ties into the main plot of the film, most of these agenda or diversity pushing movies have been nothing but lazy “cash grabs” designed to make people believe that they are truly pushing the boundaries on diverse storylines or introducing new and exciting characters within the film medium. This is all just my opinion though.

[@KodachiC]

It won't. At most it will make Hollywood all white and male while it still continues on its Death Spiral. Not to mention government should have no say in how entertainment is made.
