In light of my absence, I figured it was a good idea to start with a lighter blog.
I read an article the other day about Sean Connery that made me somewhat mad:
Diane Cilento alleged the former star of the James Bond movie series said several years ago he would no longer give his son Jason any money as part of his goal of teaching the young man how to earn a living on his own, The Sunday Times of London reported. (linkage)
How horrible of him? What kind of parent would do such a horrible thing?
My comment on the situation: Why did he not cut him off sooner? The article was written in July of this year and so he would have cut his son off about 2003 to 2005. To make Sean look like a horrible man we will say it happened in 2003. That would make his son 40 when he was cut off…
I cannot believe he is actually getting heat for this story. His son is an “actor” who has not done a whole lot in his career. The article goes on to state that James Bond also told his son that he only gets jobs by trading off his father’s name.
So not only is Sean Connery a horrible man for cutting off his son but he is also honest with his opinions about his son’s life. The horror.
I would hope that if I were struggling with an acting career and had a child, my parents would want me to have a real job and provide for my own family.

I will try to post articles every Sunday and maybe post random musings throughout the week as they strike my fancy. Next week will start a 3-week look at the election. The topics will be “Why to Vote for Obama,” “VP’s,” and “Why to not vote for McCain.” Not sure of the order as of yet but if you have a preference I am open to suggestions. The articles will be very much fact based and not ramblings with comments appreciated.
