Now wait a minute... use thoughtful judgement. Hollywood still has some good eggs, and be careful not to miss an amazing story just because it has one 'doofus' actor in it. It would have been a shame to miss the message of 'Last of the Mohicans' (the movie) just because of the opinions of Daniel Day Louis. That being said, I did pass on Sarandon's portrayal in Children of Dune, based on my expectations of the story's political implications as guided by a director that would have cast her in that role. I may be wrong, but all it cost me was a story that is probably better read than seen anyway.

...And be kind to Arnold! He can't be President, but governor of the second most powerful state in the union (below Texas, of course) ain't a shabby expectation.

I totally agree with you. But, it's much easier (and more eye-catching) to type:

"BOYCOTT HOLLYWOOD!!!"

than to type

"USE DISCERNMENT AND GOOD JUDGMENT WHEN DECIDING WHAT HOLLYWOOD MOVIES YOU SHOULD SEE, AND MAKE SURE TO INVESTIGATE THE PUBLICALLY STATED POLITICAL INCLINATIONS OF THE ACTORS, DIRECTOR, PRODUCER, ETC., SO THAT YOU DON'T INADVERTENTLY SUPPORT A LEFTIST COMMIE SCUMBAG WITH YOUR HARD EARNED DOLLARS."

Call it laziness....
