Explains How the movie industry can afford to pay actors $20 Million for 1 person to do 1 film :roll:

I cannot even begin to say how much this frustrates me....even as, perhaps especially because I am an actor. The inbalance within the industry is huge, and disgusting. I understand that "star power" has a price, but when a well-trained, talented, and educated actor cannot make a living doing what (s)he is trained to do...there is something slightly wrong...at least, in my opinion.

I think that actors should have a $5 million per movie cap. If not officially, then an implied one amongst them. I mean, think about it...FIVE MILLION AMERICAN DOLLARS for a few months' work sounds pretty good for me. And Hollywood could even pass the $400 million in saved money along to the consumer, cut ticket prices a dollar, and get thousands more people (like me) who only go every six months to go once a month, every month. I think the same about sports...have a cap on salaries so seats to an NHL game don't cost up to NINETY FRIGGIN BUCKS each.

but none of it'll ever happen.

$90 is nothing! Come to Toronto and see what that gets you. Leafs tickets range from $25 (Standing room) to $405!!!!!


$405 + ticketbastard charges to watch a freakin' hockey game!! And every game is sold out.

Beers at the Air Canada Centre are $8.75 for a large!!

Outrageous!

Insane ticket prices for film, sports, theatre, etc, are partly why I love live music so much. Most of the time...everything seems pretty reasonable...if you can avoid ticketbastard.... :rambo: :x

Holy smokes,you gotta be on the wealthier side of the fence to go enjoy a Leafs game. Those corporate empires really know how to exploit the shit out of sports and whatever else they got their fingers in. :x

$8.75 for a fraggin beer......cripes :roll:
