I don’t know about anyone else, but I won’t go to see movies because of who’s in it, but for the story. I don’t remember enjoying a movie more than “Fargo.” I’d never heard of anyone in it, but it was a good story. OTOH, I will avoid seeing a movie with people like Tim Robbins, Jane Fonda, or Danny Glover in it because I just don’t like them, and paying to see them in a movie is like “hanging out” with them, which I wouldn’t want to do.
I remember Elvis at an interview when some reporterette asked him how he felt about the Viet Nam war, and his response was great: “Ma’am, I’m just an entertainer.” I wish they all had that kind of class.
For me it’s got to be the movie and the star I want to see. I won’t see movie for a star I don’t like. That just puts money in their pockets.
