Tommy Lee Jones: No Money For Old Men

1. I've heard from a few people that he is one of the biggest a-holes in all of Hollywood! Including someone who has worked around him in the industry. Just a nasty, mean, black hearted tool!

Aw, he's not mean. He's just a Texas guy. They don't take no lip.

3. Hey, my GF is an Aggie and sweet as anything! I don't think that acting like a prick is a stretch at all for him. Especially from what my friend said. She's not a BS slinger either.

4. "to be A PART of the film". Not "to be APART of the film. Don't you have an editor there on weekends?

5. He's jealous. It was Josh and Javier who made that movie special.

6. I usually don't respond to comments but I had to respond to " He's a total douche".
You shouldn't believe everything you read in the tabloid magazines and you definitely shouldn't defame him based on negative comments someone else may have said...it just isn't right.

Tommy Lee Jones is far from being a" black hearted a-hole" as you so eloquently called him. Mr. Jones donates both his time and money to help a very worthwhile foundation that is working on finding the cure for paralysis. Both he and his wife attend practically every function and are always willing to help whenever possible. Don't believe me? Try googling his name along with the word "Paralysis" and you'll find out yourself. He's done more to help and given more of himself to help others than I"m sure you have.

If you want to know who the real a-hole is in this story perhaps you should look in the mirror and check out your reflection.

7. It's a shame what these greedy actors get for working on a film. Up front fees and after fees and a salary on top of that or whatever. Wouldn't it be great if all jobs were like that? Get real, Tommy. Greedy b@sturd!

8. Nothing wrong with wanting to get PAID! Heck, I bet if you're in The Business long enough, it would turn anyone into something of a bastid, having to deal with the Suits.

10. Jones should have looked under the "no profit participation for grumpy old men actors" clause in his contract.

11. He is pathetic. It looks like he needs that money to buy new dentures

12. Buyer beware, if it aint in the CONTRACt then times will be tough for TLJ. Promises? Maybe he is waking up to dealing with Hollywood. Too bad, I love the Coen Bros. stuff , as well as, TLJ.

14. You people calling him out for being greedy are complete and utter idiots. He apparently signed a contract with limited up-front money on the premise that if the film made money he would get what Hollywood calls "back-end" money. It's an actor's way of investing in the movie. Sometimes it's the main way they make money (up to 90% of their earnings). It's a RISK. It's basically a bet that the movie would profit, which it obviously has, and he's not getting paid. It doesn't matter how much money you make, it's the principle of letting someone break a contract on you. I would sue them, and so would every last person on the god-damned planet.

15. TMZ: The beautifully done ending was exactly true to the book, a piece of literary fiction. Sorry if it wasn't dumbed down enough for you to understand it!
