Well, I hope you’re sitting down so you will not die of shock; Sean Penn hates Steve Bannon. They crossed paths in Bannon’s Hollywood days. The Alt-Right mouthpiece helped finance “The Indian Runner,” which Penn directed. By way of comment about his old Exec-Producer, Penn said:
Bannon was then, as he is now, simply another bitter Hollywood wannabe who went rogue by way of toxic narcissistic iconoclasm. But, deep in his heart, he’s just a conniving hateful bloated punk who despises mankind. And then there are also the bad things about him…
Of course, start with the favorable aspects, Sean. “The Indian Runner” was a critical hit for Penn and financial flop for Bannon (yes!) who went on to help finance Seinfeld, which was buying Intel at 5 (yechh). His artistic/political philosophy:
“Darkness is good. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. That’s power.”
And, no matter what is to happen to Ol’ Stevie, that’s the Drumpf administration.
