I don't have a problem with Sarandon's politics, but I was a bit turned off by her during the years she snubbed RHPS, refusing to discuss it (I'm told, though haven't been able to verify this, that she actually denied being in it at one point) and generally taking a look-down-her nose attitude towards the film. She's since loosened up about it--somewhat--but I could never understand, or much like, her earlier attitude; yes, the film is a mess, but it's a fun mess, and if I'd had it on my resume as an early career effort I don't think I'd be embarrassed to have been associated with something that's brought so many people so much enjoyment over the years, and become a cultural icon to boot.

Musicals aren't a favorite film genre for me; I'd have an easier time listing the ones I like than the ones I don't. That said, I perversely tend to somewhat like some of the ones that get a routine lambasting, such as Camelot, Man of La Mancha and Finian's Rainbow. Sympathy for the underdog, I guess.

Sarandon seems a little confused at times about her own stances, I think she chops and changes her mind about things and makes herself look a little foolish. We can all take on board a dichotomy of opinions as we gain more experience, but Sarandon is of the privileged ilk too, and a few decades ago, many of these celebrities felt that their opinions were da bomb and because of who they were, they could only be right. In my naivety, I used to hang onto every word favorite celebs said, because I regulated them to God status because of their standing and influence.

I know a little better now and human is human, regardless of position\standing. I have always liked Sarandon as an actress and of course RHPS.

Me,too!
