Money problems

I like Jason Mewes, but why does he keep taking roles in *beep* films, one after another? Ok, I get it: it pays the bills. But why be an actor who already "has made it" in Hollywood, who lives there, why repeatedly appear in all these schlocky BAD films?

...With the bippin' and the boppin' and the hippin' and the hoppin'...

They likely got William Sadler for the film because he's probably finding out that, as he gets older, he has fewer film opportunities...and this was likely 1 day of work for a decent enough pay check.

As for Jason Mewes...I think his story was a little sadder. Everyone enjoyed him as the stoner hippy Jay from his collaborations with Kevin Smith (and from RSVP...where his character "Terry" was pretty much "Jay")...but it seems that as quirky as the drug use on camera was...it was a major demon off camera.

And of course it didn't help that he had tragedies to face...like his Mother dying of AIDS in 2002.

If I was going to venture to guess why he's taking the roles, I suspect it's because he probably understands that as he starts looking older, the roles are going to dry up...and the money he's making from the roles he's playing now...they just don't pay all that well.

He apparently got married in 2009, so hopefully he's been able to put together some money and plan for a life off camera...either in another element of film making, or in some other field entirely.

But yeah, this film...wasn't good at all!

And it should also be said...Jason Mewes wasn't good in it either! He wasn't the worst thing in the film, but he also wasn't the best thing in it either.
