hopefully he'll choose more wisely in the future on who his co-stars are...We did not say the things his co-stars said, THEY did. We salute Mr. Astin, but won't endorse LOTR because of the bad apple named Viggo.

Sorry, but I find that thought process kind of idiotic. It's like not buying a certain car because the guy that screwed the dashboard together on the assembly line went to an anti-war rally on his day off. My decision of which movies to see or not to see is based on the movies themselves, not the political views of the actors, or the director, or the second assistant key grip.

You, of course, are free to do as you choose.

As are you, of course...

We just report the facts, you decide.

I've already decided to watch this movie as often as I can afford... probably at least 10 times, hopefully more. And buy both versions of the DVD. And the soundtrack. Good luck with your little boycott thingie!

You make an excellent point honey...

We would be far better served to reward the ~content~ of this film, and encourage studios to create more quality, wholesome films, than we would be to encourage the studio to do political litmus tests on actors.

Which does more damage, crap films with crap values? - or rallies an actor spoke at and no one noticed?

That's what I tried to say, but I think you did a better job.
