Hollywood should have more protests says deluded director who claims US is totalitarian regime

Pedro Almodovar makes beautiful films — and he also makes asinine, out of touch statements.In an interview with the LA Times, the legendary Spanish director said he was thoroughly disappointed the Oscars weren’t political enough.“There were not many protests against the war [in Gaza] or against Trump” said the 76-year old.I guess he doesn’t want Hollywood’s biggest night to actually be about movies, but his pet political causes.Nor does he want anyone at home to actually watch the damn program.Did he want them to create a new category for the Best Orange Man Bad speech?

Who doesn’t want to wear the ribbon?”The “Vo...
