That's a riot! Sanity, I completely am amongst those who are swayed against entertainers who say asinine political comments. I recall thinking Robin Williams was pants-wetting funny. The more I heard his political opinions, the less funny he became. Since Elton John came out of the closet, his songs took on a different tone. I still like his stuff (mostly), but I have to ignore the creepy pictures in my head. NC,

This must be one of Mr. Clooney's "vanity" projects that he intersperses with movies he expects will make money. Nothing wrong with that, really. But Howard Dean? C'mon. :o To Severian: Your comment about Heston as "icon" reminds me of his role as the good guy to Orson Welles's corrupt sheriff in "Touch of Evil."

I am quite certain it is like that with many people who watch movies. We have a pre-concieved notion on how they 'should' be, based on what we have seen them act in - we enjoy that, and want to see more of them. When they put themselves in the news getting political and making assinine statements, it kills that pre-concieved notion, and we see them in a different light, and for many, it turns us off adn ends up affecting thier movie calss because we no longer want to see movies with them because our idea of them has changed. I noticed that with Tom Cruise first, seeing how he acted and has gotten more strange, touting Scientology more and more, just turned me off and it affects the movies I want to see. I still have gone to see MI3 because of him.

They have plenty to spare, and not enough common sense. And when it tanks, they'll blame - who else? The Right Wing Noise Machine and Christian Fundamentalists.

The only redeeming thing Clooney did was bring us South Park, apparently he was influential in getting their original tape to someone who got them their first 6 episode gig at Comedy Central. And that probably hasn't turned out exactly as he thought, as they skewer liberal icons and ideas more often than conservative ones (even though they are often equal opportunity offensive to everyone). That comment about Heston is vile. And Heston was a better actor than Clooney could ever hope to be, and a gentleman to boot. How much of his comment was because he "hates" guns and how much because he realizes he'll never be the icon that Heston is?:-?
