   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!
