Bad-boy actor Sean Penn says his opposition to a war in Iraq cost him a lucrative movie role - but the film's producer, Steve Bing, calls the claim "extortion." The feud over "Why Men Shouldn't Marry" erupted yesterday amid dueling lawsuits in Los Angeles.

Judging from Mr Bing's credits, I can see why Sean Pennis [sic] upset. This guy has Oscar written all over him.

Steve Bing (imdb.com):

Writer - filmography
(2000s) (1990s) (1980s)

Why Men Shouldn't Marry (2004)
Kangaroo Jack (2003) (screenplay) (story)
Every Breath (1993) (written by)
"Married... with Children" (1987) TV Series
Missing in Action 2: The Beginning (1985)

Yeah, they could rename the movie 'Why These Men Shouldn't Procreate.'

Although I'd like to believe this is true, I doubt it. I think these commies would put their own in any movie regardless of their treason.

On September 11, 2001 events took place that changed the lives of every American.

Angel's Working Overtime

We couldn't believe the hatred they had, the actions they took made the World so sad.

They thought it would break the American Pride, little did they know we hold it deep inside.

Thinking of all who died made the World so blue, but rest assured, God gave them a job to do.

They have new titles than they had with us, they are now called Angels, nothing less.

They were Angels all along given to you as a gift, now they are everywhere, helping our spirits lift.

An Angel, God is always sending, cause the human heart always needs mending.

They are running around sending Hope, Peace and Love. All of God's messages from above.

I know they will give you a little sign, telling you they are now Angel's Working Overtime.

Mrs. Stacie ©

For anyone experiencing a personal loss; this day will never be far from our thoughts and memories.

This is to honor the brave, gifted and precious lives that were lost.

The World Trade Center

The Pentagon

American Airlines Flt 11

United Airlines Flt 175

United Airlines Flt 93

Bing simply wanted a paternity test before he paid.

I have no problem with that. I remember some of his comments at the time, however. It was more than "simply" wanting the test.

He may be one level above Penn, but that ain't sayin' much.

Penn is a boob but he is also a fine actor. His work in Sweet and Lowdown, Falcon and the Snowman, At Close Range, State of Grace and Casualties of War is excellent, really above standard. Doesn't change things though, he's still a boob.

Penn has a face and expression that is hard to look at and watch. I like most movies, but he's so disgusting I stay away from anything with him featured. I'll bet I'm not alone.

...Penn is trying to force him to pay $10 million, even though Penn never had a formal contract to do the movie.

Hey loser extraordinaire...  seems the only way you can get headlines is by being a first class a**hole.   Evidently Madonna's ex-husband's talent could fit onto the head of a pin.   Crash and Burn couldn't happen to a nicer guy!

He is also the father of the baby that Kirk Kirkorian ( Las Vegas Billionaire Octoginarian) thought was his. For that paternity test they had to rummage through his garbage for DNA. A real stand up guy.

He denied the paternity of Liz Hurley's baby to humiliate her, not out of honor.

....dark era of Hollywood blacklisting......

The dark era of the 20th century has given way to the enlightenment of the 21st. White trash is not tolerated and is deposited in the land fill of history.

SEAN PENN: IRAQ STANCE COST ME ROLE

Good.

People make choices in life. What's wrong with paying the price for making any given choice?

Oh wait....Sean is a liberal. He shouldn't have to pay for the choices he's made...That's right.

His Politics are incredibly ignorant, however....

Can anyone remember a single good performance by this professional fecal mass?

Two Words.     Jeff Spicoli.

'Nuff Said?

He was also pretty good in, Taps, Bad Boys, Racing with the Moon, The Falcon and the Snowman, Colors, and Casualties of War, State of Grace and Carlitos Way...

Sadly for Sean, it's been pretty much hackville since then and Carlitos Way was released in 1993.....

He als did a good job Producing and Directing Nicholson in "The Crossing Guard" ('95)....

The Guy is a pretty fair actor, sadly however, he is infected with terminal Hollywoodleftistitis.....
