I find it quite humorous that he is the grand marshal or whatever the fuck
he's calling himself for Earth Day when he tore the hell out of the beach
for his new movie. Of course, the liberals and the media will downplay this
and anything else that is deemed detrimental to their misguided cause.

He tore the hell out of the beach for HIS movie?  Get a clue.  Leo Decaprio is an ACTOR.  He is only an actor.  He is a puppet of the director.  Blaming Leo for environmental damage caused by a film production which he acted in is about as logical is blaming a particular brand of paint for causing environmental damage because an art gallery displaying an art painting that used this brand of paint was built on top of an estuary.  Get a clue.  If Leo turned down this movie, they would've found another actor to play the part.  Leo had no say what-so-ever in any damage done to the beach.  He's only an actor.  Stop treating it as if this movie was his.

You conservatives always see things in black and white, because of your limited intelligence and inability to comprehend even the slightest amount of complexity.

Listen Ziggy, by not turning down the role he became a hypocrite-don't you know the definition of hypocrite?  And yes, he knew the beach was being ripped up and yet this socially conscious individual said dick!  Has right Ziggy, he didn't say shit because he wanted his money!  He wanted his money over his belief in the environment.  If this movie isn't his asswipe-then who's movie is it?  Another question, do you really think that Leo has NO say in the movies?  When you are a top box office draw you have incredible input, even Leo!  Your example is bullshit, it draws no comparisons at all-get back on the subject, or did you find it's a losing cause?  You liberals interject feeling and emotions because you can't deal with the black and white issues, and damn you for bringing up race.

Your problem is that you think everyone is a hypocrite because you lack
the intelligence to really comprehend the bigger picture. Face it Toby,
you're stupid.

Let's look at the facts:

Leonardo DiCaprio had the role of lead actor in this movie. He had no
other roles listed in the credits. This meant that he wasn't in the
production meetings talking with the construction crew or the set
designers who made the terrible decision to trash that place.

Leo probably didn't have any clue what was happening there until he read
about it in the mainstream news.

Actors are skin props. That's what us techies call them. They don't
make any decisions regarding set construction. The whole notion that he
is somehow responsible because this is "his" film is ludicrous! That
would be like the technical director (who's in charge of building the
sets) telling Leo how to act. This just isn't done. This movie is not
Leo's movie. It's Twentieth Century Fox's. Leo is just one of
thousands of people that were involved in this movie. Of everyone
involved in the film making process, actors are usually at the very
bottom of the of the decision making hierarchy.

By blaming Leo for this disaster, you're taking away attention from who
should, and did take the heat for this- the producers Callum McDougall
and Andrew Macdonald. While they may not have even known about how much
the island got trashed, as producers they are the ones who are
ultimately responsible. "The beach" is really their film much more than
anyone else's, because they are at the top of the decision making
process. But the movie first and foremost belongs to Twentieth Century
Fox.

Oh please, Leo probably didn't have any clue what was happening.
Typically talent do not see the set until after it's been constructed.
Leo was not there with the carpenters telling them what to do, or
telling them that he thinks they should use a different types of trees.
Actors are usually the last ones to arrive to a shooting location.

> If this movie isn't his asswipe-then who's movie is it?

Duh, it's Twentieth Century Fox's movie. That's the first thing you see
on the movie print. They even made a nice picture logo so even the most
stupid people (like yourself) could grasp the understanding that this
movie belongs to to Twentieth Century Fox. If this movie was indeed
Leo's, like you claim, than i'm sure Leonardo would have a spiffy logo
trailer at the top of the movie. Did you see this?

> Another question, do you really think that Leo has NO say in the
> movies?

Of course. He's a skin prop. I'm sure he has a lot of clout, but Leo
is not sitting there in the production meeting talking about production
elements of the film. The pace of film making is so fast that he
probably had no idea what was happening until after the movie was
finished. You clearly have no 'behind the scenes' experience. So quit
acting like you do.

The only loosing cause is arguing with someone as stupid as you. I'm
sure i could spoon feed you all the facts in the world that support the
truth. But because you've already made up your narrow little mind, and
because of your untamed ego, you'll never concede to the fact that
you're clearly wrong. In fact you find the whole notion that of a
liberal hippie proving you wrong so repugnant, that you'll make up any
facts and stories to support your views.

* Shakes his head in despair and disbelief *

I can't believe people this stupid exist in our world. Do you really
think i was talking about race here? Good god, if you did, this world
is really a depressing place indeed. The idea that such stupidity at
that level really exists in this world is really depressing.

Look Toby, read a book, and try to better educate yourself. And what
ever you do don't have any litter. The world doesn't need any more
people like yourself running around barking about things you know
nothing about.

Ziggy, you made some really good points, I'll give you that. As far as
being stupid, hardly. I never said everyone is a hypocrite did I Ziggy?
Thank you for pointing out that he is just an actor, but when he did hear
about them trashing the beach what did he do or say? Nothing Ziggy. Thats
my point, he said nothing at all. Thanks also for the term skin props, I
like that. You obviously have insight into the production of films. Let me
give you a layman's perspective here; if your name is in the starring role
John Q. Public considers it your movie regardless of what the industry says
or thinks, that is the reality whether the film is a bang or a bust. I will
also agree with you that Leo has no clue, I've heard his statements
regarding the rain forest and grazing cows, I'm really glad someone writes
his lines in the movies. I also never stated that I had experience in the
business, nor was I trying to act like I did. You sound like a pompous
asshole Ziggy, you probably fit in with the mentality you work with. I love
the narrow little mind comment, how elitist. Did you pick that up at one
of your socialist meetings? Your aura of ignorance is astounding. The only
thing that you've really gotten across is that Leo is nothing, or so thats
the opinion I get. But in the same breath you defend him. I agree it is
hard arguing with you because you also seem like you have made up your mind
as well, I also doubt that you could spoon feed me anything, I doubt your
intellect is as keen as you think it is. I don't think you've proven me
entirely wrong, you say you are a techie, that can mean alot of things. BTW
the race comment was a joke, lighten up a little Ziggy, you take yourself a
little too seriously, and the world doesn't need that walking around does
it?

so that done, if leo gives a fk about the future of the planet, what does
he do now? hide, or do what he can to help positive change?
Humans are hypocrites. Complex characters. get over it. we develop and
learn and interact with everyone elses shit. At least he's using his power
now.
Now stop your whinging poopooface!

Socialist? You think i'm that conservative? I'm way farther off the deap end
than that buddy!

Of course. He's a director's puppet, who you're trying to blame for the fck ups
of the producers of the film he acted in. I'm defending him against your
accusations that he somehow had a clue as to what was happening.

Hey man, i've never admitted to being intelligent. But i know stupidity when i
see it!

> I don't think you've proven me

I work as an audio engineer for a professional theatre. I have many years
experience in technical theatre. While i've never worked on films directly, i'm
quite familiar with how their hierarchy is. Most of it is very similar to
theatre.

Additionally, i'd like to say that your request for nude pics of Julia butterfly
was sick, twisted, and uncalled for.

Just like his buddy Slick Willie. "Hey, let's lock up the land to save the
trees, but I am gonna make the announcement from a podium built of wood."

WOOHOO!!!!!

Why don't the whole lot of you treehuggers, eco-nazis, liberals, socialists and
whatever else you call yourselves and take your hypocrisy and stick where the
sun doesn't shine!
