Does the off-screen behavior of Roman Polanski and Mel Gibson influence whether you'll see their movies?

It may be closer to, No.

In other words, morality and art are a combustible combination.

They dont always mix well.

Im tempted to say that the winner is Fleiss by a (fixed) nose.

What I want to know is, how much doyounow make that separation?

Or even have a go at?

He needed the time to re-bolster his image.

Had seeing a Mel Gibson movie turned into a line that some people wouldnt cross?

At the very least, maybe theyd be a bit slower to go there than before.

The line probably isnt as thin in the case of Roman Polanski.

Make no mistake: The hatred of Roman Polanski is profound.

What I want to know is: Who out there actively wants to see it?

Who, if anyone, refuses to see it because it was made by Roman Polanski?

In the end, how muchdoesa celebritys off-screen behavior influence whether youll seek out what he does on-screen?
