CrowRifle: I think Mr. Foxx (his name is spelled with two X's by the way) got his pay long before the film began raking in millions of dollars - including my few.
If indeed he has racism in his heart my dollars are more likely to be going to Mr. Tarantino who wrote and directed the movie and the three producers who fronted the money for the movie.
On the VERY SLIM chance that Mr. Foxx has a share of the box office pie (which I doubt!) then I guess my movie money (a penny?) which went to Mr. Foxx ends up in the hands of someone with politics different than mine?
And on the even slimmer chance that Mr. Foxx will get some future residuals from HBO type TV rents and such, then again my pennies are going to someone with politics and a heart that is different than mine.
Now for the reality of "the movies"!
The movies are made by and acted in by MOSTLY people with different politics and world views than I have!
Are you asking me never to go to any movie which employed a racist or a communist or a socialist?
If you are fool enough to suggest that, then I must ask you, do you attend movies that are made by liberals or racists?
Do you ever go to the movies?
If you do then I contend that you have supported racists (and reverse racists) and homosexuals, and sexual deviants, and democrats and drug users and ego maniacs etc etc etc with your hard earned dollars!
I have been employed by a number of movie companies and worked on many movies and got to know and interact with a number of actors (including John Wayne, Tom Hanks, Nick Nolte, Sylvester Stallone, Martin Short, Meg Ryan, Gerald McRaney, Yul Brenner and on and on) and for every John Wayne type who shares my political outlook there were a hundred Nora Ephrons and Yul Brenners who are at the extreme opposite end of the scale!
If you have the opinion ("to each their own") that a person (including yourself) should only attend movies that the crew and cast of holds opinions exactly as your own then I dare say you won't be attending any movies.
I'll choose my "own" ways to spend my hard earned dollars - if you don't mind?
My political battles are fought in another arena for the very most part.
