There have been a bunch of movies (some fairly good, I guess) that I would have never seen if I had based the value of my time viewing these movies in proportion to the contempt that I personally held for the very foolish (or just plain evil) actors and actresses that portrayed the characters.

R. Strauss' views weren't that far off from Wagner's. Have you ever performed or listened to pieces by Strauss?
