Really? Why? Chat Icon I mean, I agree - it's disgusting that he married his daughter...but she was of age.

Polanski raped a minor and then just before sentencing, fled to France to avoid going to prison.

Woody Allen did something gross, but it wasn't illegal.

Polanski is a monster. Why his movie was allowed to make money in the country he fled from, I have no idea. The Oscars-everyone had standing ovations...are they that blind?

IMO it is disgusting that a father figure would do something like that....

just utterly disgusts me.

I would think twice about seeing certain people's movies. I think I was so sick of the publicity around Brad and Angelina, that I had no desire to see their movie. I would probably not rush out to see any of Sean Penn's movies either.

I will watch movies he's in, but everytime I see Matthew Broderick I can only think about how he got away with killing someone while driving drunk b/c he's a celebrity. I hate when stuff like that happens.

You know, I think about that from time to time as well. It is amazing how that was forgotten. From what I remember, he was in Ireland with his then-girlfriend Jennifer Grey.

ETA: I believe this happened in the late 80's.

I never knew that either...

Was implicated in a deadly car crash during vacation in Ireland with former girlfriend Jennifer Grey. Broderick himself had been hurt in the crash. IMDB

That time in Broderick's life was filled with upheaval. He was involved in a car accident in Ireland just as the movie was coming out. He was driving with then-fiance Jennifer Grey. A woman and child in the other car were killed. He was charged with reckless driving and paid a small fine. He has put it behind him ''as much as you can,'' he says. ''I don't think I'll ever forget about it Source

Wow...was he tried in Ireland or here? That is so weird that MADD is not more vocal about it.

'Reckless' driving as the above article suggests, is not the same thing as drunk driving though.

Everything I've found seems to say he was not intoxicated. This article is on a page with today's date, but it seems to be older. I only looked it up b/c I have always liked him.

So sad anyway!! Chat Icon

Now, Russel Crowe, him I don't like and that's one of the reasons won't see Gladiator - though I did see A Beautiful Mind and loved it in spite of him.Chat Icon

It usually doesn't bother me if it's something like infidelity, tax evasion, political views. I liked Mr. & Mrs. Smith but was distracted by the fact that they had gotten together during the making of the film. I'm pretty sure Jennifer Aniston isn't watching it.

On the other hand, I wouldn't see the movie "Powder" in the theaters because the writer/director is a convicted child molester (12 year old boy).

Usually it doesn't bother me, but I did avoid seeing War of the Worlds, because I couldn't stand looking at Tom Cruise's face any more.

Normally it won't stop me, but in the case of Brangelina, I won't see Mr. & Mrs. Smith because they're in it together and it's where their whole thing started (at least I think so). I would probably still go see their separate movies in the future (maybe), but definitely not that one. I know it's very silly, but I can't help it - I just feel so bad for Jennifer Aniston.

I like many other absolutely loathe Tom Cruise. I hated him since he lied about being gay in his interview with Barbara Walters. He makes me sick.

But I still watch movies he is in. I don't make it a priority to see them however.

It's not an absolute, but lately, i have been avoiding Tom Cruise, Russell Crowe and Mel Gibson. I'm not saying that I will never see any of their movies again, but at the moment, I have no desire to.
