Some in Hollywood, it seems, just can’t let go of past political hopes – or at least want to use their films to continue pushing their political preferences. In Funny People, the new movie from writer/director Judd Apatow, which opened July 31, a character played by Seth Rogen wears a 2004-era “Vote Kerry” T-shirt with an artwork outline image of 2004 Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry. I caught the scene with Rogen sporting the T-shirt in the promotional clip played during this past Monday’s re-run of the July 20 Tonight Show with Conan O’Brien on which the star of the film, Adam Sandler, was a guest. The video clip is when, “George asks Ira to kill him.” The wardrobe choice may not have been Rogen’s, but it would match his political influences, at least judging from this quote attributed to him on IMDb’s bio page for the Canadian-born actor:
IMDb’s plot summary for Funny People: “When seasoned comedian George Simmons learns of his terminal, inoperable health condition, his desire to form a genuine friendship cause him to take a relatively green performer under his wing as his opening act.” —Article written by: Brent Baker, Vice President for Research and Publications at the Media Research Center |
