Uncle Francis Coppola, it Nick, can we do another quick movie or two? You knew I wasn't the sharpest kid but I can act, sorta, oh come on, help a brotha out.

Come on people. The disease of Way-Too-Much-Easy-Money Syndrome afflicts many of the good sincere Hollywood types. Come on let's pass a hat. I'll make sure he gets the money.

Give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he doesn't want his tax dollars going to just finance war efforts.

That explains why he's willing to accept any crappy script that comes his way. Cha-ching!

Why do I feel better about myself...all of a sudden?

I've always had a theory. If you can't manage a hundred dollars, you can't manage millions. How many lottery winners have ended up broke? I've always tried to live on a little less than I make.

Good philosophy! I'd like to make an attempt at the million dollar option.

Oh, puh-leeeez! The guy is a Coppola - his family is loaded!

Pay taxes, and then spend the rest. Seems simple. I'd like to help him out but I can't spend money on junk like National Treasure.

He made millions, didn't hire the right staff to manage his money and I am supposed to feel sorry for him? Not

He bought lots of homes then when the market went down he had to sell the castles off for half of what he paid years ago.

I was just watching face off yesterday....and wondering when nicolas was going to start making good movies again. :( he was once one of my favorite actors.

that's when he was an actor. I liked that film. Now he just makes crap for the quick buck I guess

awwwww...Maybe now he'll get a real job and stop making all those crappy movies.

You mean those crappy movies that come with multi-million dollar paychecks? Yeah, I'm sure he'll be giving those up to become a Wal-Mart greeter real soon. Great idea. You must be a professional career advisor.

What a goofus....

All of those horrible movies have finally caught up with him. "Knowing" was a piece of trash, not fit for viewing by anyone.

I think it's all that spending that finally caught up with him. Quality work does not guarantee financial security -- nor do all talentless hacks end up in the poor house.

He looks like Data from Star Trek.
