If a movie is worth seeing, it's worth seeing. It's just that simple.

Bingo. I don't care if the stars in the film are liberal or conservative - they're entitled to their opinion. I care if the story is interesting. Then I'll go. For instance: Sir Ian McKellan is homosexual - but that wasn't going to stop me from enjoying The Lord of the Rings.

Now, some movie stars annoy me. Tom Cruise is exhibit A for that. I refuse to see anything with him in it.

I thought Mel would be immune to the I-have-a-movie-set-to-release-so-I'll-bash-bush-for-free-press-and-to-appeal-to-lefty-movie-reviewers syndrome. I guess he's of that ilk, after all.

Sinky ain't no deacon. He just plays one on the internet.
