What is it with Hollywood and Sean Bean?

A funny thing happened: I watched Equilibrium a couple of days ago, then started a blog (not because of, just after) - and the first comment I get is from someone named R with the blog named "For I, being poor, have only my dreams". This is a line from a poem that is read by Sean Bean's character before being shot.

Anyway, Equilibrium. I like this movie. It's a good movie. Naive, sometimes, but good - good acting even. But what disturbs me is this: why oh why do they always kill a great actor that Sean Bean is in the beginning? Equilibrium - shot by a friend, maybe 10 minutes passed. The Lord of the Rings - killed by Orcs in the first part. C'mon, folks, let the guy play for a change!

Haha, I have recently watched a very old film with Robert De Niro called Ronin. Sean Bean left they super-duper-we-can-do-everything group after twenty minutes (he proved himself to be useless so they kicked him out).

In fact I can't remember seeing Sean Bean starring for more than few minutes :D

Oh, and I actually change the name of my blog from time to time. Normally it is some kind of quote, who knows, maybe I shall change it again soon.
