When they make movies people want to see with stars who have not ticked off 50% of the population with their anti-American, anti-conservatives comments people still go to the movies. Body of Lies likely suffered from having Leo in one of the starting rolls; I don’t think I am the only one who will not pay to see a DiCaprio, Afleck, etc. movie.

I’m curious to see how well Matt Damon does now after what he said about Sarah. Afleck tries to be low key now. I will never pay to see Angelina Jolie or Brad Pitt again.

You are absolutely right. Body of Lies could be the best flic of the year and I wouldn't see it.
