The pettiest John Wayne story is how he wrote a whiny letter to Rex Stout to personally inform him that he was no longer going to read any Nero Wolfe novels after The Doorbell Rang because he was just SO OFFENDED that it featured Wolfe outsmarting the FBI by exposing them spying on American citizens and then making a fool of J. Edgar Hoover.

Lol. I thought he was a lovely actor as soon as I was old enough to have opinions about him, and any time I hear something about him it's just more about how he was a lovely person in real life too.

No argument here, gently caress John Wayne (and that dumb trailer, which ironically he probably would've had a conniption about)

Wayne also turned down the Gary Cooper role in High Noon because he realised that it was subtly anti-blacklisting and he thought blacklisting was the bee's knees.

(Gary Cooper was politically conservative like Wayne, but he was anti-blacklisting.)

John Wayne was also a draft dodger (to fight the drat Nazis) and serial divorcee. A genuinely bad person.

Drug war movie propaganda is normally pretty vile, but the new breed is like over the top 80s action star flicks meet 70s vigilante justice flicks and its unusually gross.

John Ford gave Wayne poo poo about that for the rest of his life. There was a movie they did together where each member of the cast had their rank listed next to their name & Wayne was the only one with nothing.

What makes Nugent particularly irritating is that he continued to be loudly pro-war and boasted about how he totally would have been an ultimate badass soldier like Rambo if he'd actually been sent to Vietnam.

Edit: Check out this performance by Academy AwardTM-winning actor John Wayne.

Getting out of going to war is very sensible and I'd never hold that against anyone. But if you then turn around and start beating the drums of war you can go gently caress off. John Wayne should burn in hell for making The Green Berets.

I travel the world pretty heavily and it’s extremely rare to find an airport that loads both ends anywhere. A welcome surprise when they do, but most of the world is sadly a huge exaggeration.
