| What would you do ... | | about leaving money to your children in your will? If you had a falling out with your children ... would you cut them out of your will? Apparently, Sean Connery of "James Bond" movies fame has done just that. His reasoning is that his son, Jason, 45 years old, should provide for himself. His son has been providing for himself ... he works as an actor and director ... jobs his father says he got only because of his name. Hmmmmm?? Is this the green eyed monster rearing its head? So, Jason and his father's relationship became strained because Jason threatened to drop the family name. Warren Buffet, the huge stocks investor billionaire worth 60 billion plus has done some modifications of his will for his three children. He is donating about 83% of his fortune to charity ... most of it to Bill Gates and his wife's foundation. His reasoning is that he wants to give his kids enough to feel like they could do anything but not so much that they would feel like doing nothing. Remember Leona Helmsley ... "Queen of Mean"? A judge recently overturned the settlement of her will ... she gave $12 million to her 12 year old pet dog ... he said it was unreasonable... | |
| | Movies/celebrities/songs/books/fads, etc. that everyone likes but you | | There is that minority of us that finds pop culture to be annoying and therefore is only a guilty pleasure on the rare occasion that we do find ourselves loyal to the latest fad or the "movie of the year." And in my experience, I have even run into pop-culture addicts that at times find themselves not seeing what all the hype is about on a select few items.What this all comes down to really is that there is no accounting for taste, so without bashing or being hateful, what are some things in this world that everyone likes but you?I'll start. Take the list below as my opinion only.Movies:- Titanic
- Center Stage
- I also did not care for Sean Connery as James BondCelebrities- Anyone who graces the centerfolds of Seventeen, Teen, YM, and those "Teen Beauty" magazines.
- Johnny Depp
- Any "country music" star post-Garth Brooks era... I just don't like the direction it has gone without Garth leading the way...Songs- "Goodbye Earl" by the Dixie ChicksBooks- I don't like Shakespeare plays that much. They sound good in his dialect, but in ours, they sound all forced and cliche (yes, I know why, but still a... | |

| | What is your favorite non Bond Sean Connery role. | | Sean is and will always be the first and best Bnd but he has played many roles before Bond and after Bond. I have two roles tha I love. Rising Sun and The Russia House.In Rising Sun he plays a investigator and a Japanese expert that helps Wesley Snipes solve a murder.he is smooth but not like Bond and that's what I like about it. And in The Russia House he plays a reluctant agent for Brittain, the opposite of Bond. He is senstive to the other side and doesn't carry a gun.Oh, I remember another role I loved, Play It By Heart.He plays a dying married man. He has three grown daughters and he is about to renew his vows with his wife.It is a softer role. | |
