Susan Sarandon political activism

[Buratino]

Will it put an end to her career, like it did Ed Asner's? Her and Tim Robbins's baseball Hall of Fame has been cancelled. I tuned in yesterday to see her movie about the doctor in south poll and I just don't like her any more. Should actors associate themselves so strongly with political activism? It becomes too hard to imagine them anyone else in the movies.

She can always immigrate to Canada

Too bad, it's a good movie.

It's their (actors') business, no?

It becomes too hard to imagine them anyone else in the movies.

Which is not necessarily a bad thing.

I think it will hurt her career. Look what happened to Dixie Chicks (Diane Sawer will interview them on Friday).

I dont know in USA but I hear their music playing on our radios all the time.

I heart it here too but I imagine the sales are (way) down. Canadians are probably identifying..

I don't know if it is possible to put an end to their careers. I have enjoyed their films. I'll still watch them on the TV.

Since they have decided to politicize their lives though, I think it is fair that I never spend a dime on their work again, as the fruits of their work provide them with the means to babble their BS.

That isn't black balling. That is common sense. Why should I directly support someone who is trying to destroy my way of life? I respect their right to speak, but I choose not to finance them.

Ed Asner was a whack job from way back. He was also an influential union leader. If his own people turned against him, I have to think that he deserved it. You have to really go over the line to be a leftist from Hollywood, and run your mouth to the point that your friends turn their backs on you.

I would be happy to see Susan and Tim as the subjects of a funky remake of "Down and out in Beverly Hills".

Sometimes they get too big headed, like Barbara Streisand, Susan became like this too, I think. They are made celebrity by the people after all. They should remember this.
