Bond: I did it for the money, Miss Moneypenny.

We all know that actors do certain roles for the money and not the art. Ben Affleck is certainly one of those actors. The link above give us top 20 actors that have done roles for just the cash. Some are bad movies, while others are pretty good. My favorites are below

Sean Connery in Never Say Never Again: Yeah, this one was one of the worst Bond/Non-Bond Films ever produced. So was it a remake of an older bond film or not?

Jason Alexander in Dunston Checks In: It should be labeled Jason Alexander Cashes in. I hate this McDLT guy.

Bill Murray in Garfield : While Murray is the idea voice actor for Garfield, the movie is just bad. However, it made so much money that they made second one, which was even worst.

Jeremy Irons and John Malkovich in Eragon: Irons must love shitty fantasy movies, because he did D&D too!

Richard Pryor in Superman III: Why Richard why?

Michael Caine in Jaws: The Revenge : Somehow he can dry his wet shirt in mere seconds. Caine even admitted that he did it for the cash. Yet, no one can explain how a shark can scream out of water?

Orson Welles in Transformers: The Movie : When this former Director wasn't making wine ads, he also did the 80's cartoon movie Transformers. I personally like his role as Unicron, sadly it would be his last role.

That's right, and from what I heard he hated every minute of working with Lucas. Even going as far as bashing the dialog

ah yes, the infamous "can't that little green thing say that line" story.

Yeah, Lucas had to replace Alec with a green puppet. Which is funny because Yoda became a bigger hit.

Shannon Fill: Where is she now? (Ensign Sito Jaxa)

Shannon Fill:   Where is she now? SF has been reviewing TNG seasons o ver at his blog. And, the episode Lower Decks came up. I recently watched Lower Decks on Net-flicks and found myself amazed with the performance from the young and lovely Shannon Fill , who played the character Ensign Sito Jaxa. Jaxa showed up in two episodes of TNG, actually they were two important episodes.   There was a nice arc to her character too.   Her character was killed off in Lower Decks , but there were plans to bring her back for an episode of DS9. From Memory Alpha , ((One story considered by the writing staff concerned the return of  Sito Jaxa  from  TNG : " Lower Decks ". The pitch had Sito being imprisoned under inhumane conditions and suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder.  Robert Hewitt Wolfe  developed the story for some time. Feeling that there was insufficient explanation of Sito's condition, he had Sito killing her cellmate, whom she'd become cl...

Uh, this is objectionable attire? http://abcnews.go.com/US/Travel/story?id=3571435&page=1 ((Kyla Ebbert, a blond, shapely 23-year-old San Diego coed who also works shifts at a Hooters restaurant, boarded the flight to Tucson , Ariz. , on a one-day round-trip visit to an Arizona doctor's appointment. She had settled into her seat when a flight attendant confronted her about what was later described by the airline as "revealing attire.")) ((Ebbert said she told the flight attendant she needed to remain on that flight so could make her doctor's appointment and that because she was on a day trip, she had not packed any luggage from which she could take clothes to change.)) If they got upset over this, they should come to U of L and check out the girls and what they’re barely wearing here. Come one people, she’d be sitting most of the time. Are we in forth grade and a hot woman can’t show a little skin? Now I can see them having a problem with her comin...

a U of L cheerleader gets into a little bit of trouble...

Image
The Internet can be a dangerous place, and things that you did with that camera can come back to ruin your life. A very attractive University of Louisville cheerleader by the name of Becca Manns took some pictures of herself naked and also having sex with a dude. Either her memory stick or camera was stolen, and the theft uploaded the graphic photos onto the World Wide Web. That was when the shit hit the fan (Louisville Fan). She ended up having to leave the program and probably school. (I am currently enrolled in UofL as well, but you won't find any photos of me.) I sort of feel sorry for her because she did one crazy thing, and now it has ruined her life. However, I have to say this to her: You were given a chance to do something many people would never get a chance to do, go to an University. You have to learn fairly quickly that every action good or bad has consequences. Exposing yourself probably wasn't good for your career or your life. (James steps off his ...
