I say enjoy the art while dismissing the artist (as I'll generously call actors). Why should you deny yourself entertainment because of the perversity of the actors who are but a vehicle for the story? Music lovers have long since resolved their adoration for Wagner's operas with their contempt for his worldview. On a much lower artistic level, we can surely ignore an actor's supine philosophy while enjoying a flick.

Babs, on the other hand, will profit directly from every ticket we buy, especially if she's got points on the back end (which she probably does).
