Oh I'll still watch. But when I saw the commercials for it, Sarandon does NOT have any of Bette's mannerisms or traits down. She's got the Baby Jane white face paint, and maybe a little saucy attitude now and then, but she'll have to pull snowflakes out of her butt for me to buy her portrayal of Bette Davis.
Jessica Lange, on the other hand, I have complete faith in. She seems to be carrying this torch with brilliant finesse. I have extremely low expectations now with Sarandon trying to pull of Davis. I still can't believe she's been asked to play Davis before Murphy approached her? How, by whom, when? As someone who's enjoyed Davis' movies quite a bit (and I'll admit, I am not a Crawford fan in the least), I really hope that I am wrong and that Sarandon makes it snow.
