I thought "The Hunt For Red October" was a conservative themed movie, made ironic by starring Alec Baldwin.

Yes- Alec Baldwin is a Jackass. But God save me- he is a good actor. Same with Sean Penn. I enjoy their performances. I think we should take the Roman point of view when it comes to Actors. We applaud their performances but hold them in low regard when it comes to society and their rank. Actors in Rome were considered scum even if rich and no well born person would want to be seen with them.
