      From: MattJeremyAdamEllis@bighouse.com              Tired of Celebrities demanding higher and higher payments for acting? I mean       they are not saving the whales, or producing better oxygen.. the world would       go on with out them. All they do is PRETEND/PLAY/ACT like we all did whe we       were kids. And they want 20 million dollars or more a movie to pretend and       make believe?????       WHATEVER!       Celebrities demand higher payments.. other people in the industry see this       and figure.. OK now we have to raise prices.. production people see this and       think "OK Every one else is asking for higher prices.. so now I'm going to       ask for higher prices"       And its a vicious cycle of every one raising their price making everything       more expensive for the movie goer.       I really feel sorry for you people in California where I hear tickets get up       to 10 dollars for a movie THAT MIGHT SUCK ! ! !       Here is an idea I had, and that I follow. Movies that are not the big bang       huge budget movies like "Along Came Polly," or other people based movies..       WAIT TILL THEY COME OUT ON RENTALS. Stop paying for the high ticket prices.       Or if you have a good dollar theater around you WAIT till they get there.              I only see the movies like Star Wars, Matrix, BIG FISH now on the big screen       because those are the only type of movie that will look good on the big       screen.. the PEOPLE movies will look just as good on DVD or at a Dollar       movie.              Send a message to Hollywood that we know they do not do anything to       contribute to the world. You all work 10 times harder than actors, and       they're demanding all that money that increased movie ticket prices for you.              If every one does this the message will go to them, and ticket prices will       drop.. its common sense. They dont HAVE to have that much money to act.. and       movies will still get made if ticket prices are lower.              some families are making 30K a year..       1 celebrity makes 20 million dollars in 3 months. Thats bullsh1t!              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
