I'll pay eight bucks to see Penelope Cruz or Kate Hudson in a movie.

I won't pay eight bucks to see Sharon Stone or Whoopi Goldberg in a movie.

So sue me.

You're right. My position is a bit more extreme: I won't pay eight bucks to see any of them. The last movie I went to was Private Ryan...before that, I can't remember which one it was. May have been Silverado or Wind and the Lion.

Heck with 'em. They don't have a clue as to what makes a great movie.

Semper Fi,

As a female, I won't pay eight bucks to see Paul Newman or Jack Nicholson in a movie. But it's not because of their age--it's because of their politics!

The problem is with actresses that never learned how to act (as distinct from how to shake their booty)

There are a few who kept their careers past 40 (Katherine Hepburn being the biggest example), but for the most part their looks are all they have going for them

Consider that most of the time, the woman of the couple decides what movie to go to. Women really aren't going for aged actresses either
