Like I said, I wasn't referring to Kully there.

They might be missing out on some great cinema there. I mean, I HATEEEEEEEEEE K-Jo, but I just know that I'll go watch his next film. Why? Because first of all, I'll be dragged to it by dim-witted dosts, and second of all, I just lurveeeeeee picking on K-Jo. Besides, we are critics. We should be watching everything, right? 😛
I don't disagree with that. But is it bad that I do feel discomfort when I see two people like Mickey Rourke and Sean Penn, who have both been wife-beaters acting like bros at the Oscars. Sean Penn is a great actor, but he personally irritates me. It doesn't mean I can't appreciate his work. And I love Woody Allen's films, but I do also think about the icky factor of his love life. So I do watch their films, but I do think about their personal lives. The girl who plays Peggy on my favorite drama Mad Men is said to be involved with Scientology and that disappoints me, but it doesn't mean I don't love her work.
So I do agree that art and personal lives are separate. But when you are a public figure, your life is on display. And I hate the people, who dislike Katherine Heigl because of her interviews. To be honest, I don't have a strong opinion of her, but the ones, who vehemently hate her because she is outspoken annoy me.
