Yep. Its nuts. All they do is act well. They don't save lives, they don't fix anything for anyone. They just entertain. Our values seem so out of whack. Its the power of mass media and advertising.

I rarely go to the theaters. It has to be something that I feel can only be appreciated fully on a big screen for me to go. Its too expensive. I rarely rent anything also. I have friends who don't have any television at all and they seem to be quite happy without it. I was remodeling and we went without the TV for two weeks. I was sad to put it back. It's hard to resist the temptation of entertainment.

But think of how many failed actors and actresses there are. (On a side note there should be one word for that, like actri). Its only the best in the biz that make that kind of change and movie makers are dying to get star power in their films.

pirates has grossed $4.5 billion.

matrix grossed $1.6 billion.

sixth sense grossed $672 million.

it has nothing to do with values. these actors make companies a stack of money and are rewarded accordingly.

how did our values come into the conversation?

As a society we put great value on entertainment. I believe too much. It leads to the production companies making ridiculous amounts of money which enables stars to get rich.

Then due to celebrity our country holds the stars on pedestals. Then you have other jobs that help people or advance science and discovery and they make so much less. It seems out of balance to me.

Sorry if I offended your trade. It was a comment about our world.

I wonder what the average Joe, or even a fairly recognized actor earns? I bet it's a pretty low income career.

A fairly known actor can be worth millions.

Flo from the progressive commercial is with like 8 mill.

Dre De Mateo from Sapronoes. Sons and Shade of Blue is worth like 15 mill. She's never been a lead but has been around a bit.

Harry Dean Stratton. Been in a bunch, but almost always a bit part, he passed with 10 mill in assets and bank.

He'll all the Pawn Star guys are worth 4 5 mill and that's because the show,not the shop.

Certain Storage Wars bidders, auctioneers were getting paid like 30g's an episode.

Just depends on many many factors.

You should look up what Robert Downey Jr. made for his few minutes of screentime in Spider-Man: Homecoming.

Ah 3 days of work ,15 minutes of film, Chump Change for him lol.

Since I did have to look it up, saw he did 1 movie he got paid 75 mill, must be nice.

 

[Psycho_X]

Not any different than professional athletes getting paid. People pay for entertainment and those who create, produce, and fund said entertainment get that money made divvied up. Those with the most success get paid the most which is an extremely small percentage of those who try.

The value of said entertainment on a non-monetary level can be debated but it is what it is. I like focusing on spectacular stories of people who rose from literally nothing to millionaires in entertainment First that comes to mind is Cesar Millan The Dog Whisperer. Was an illegal border jumper when he came here with nothing and built himself a really nice and profitable business because of his hard work and ability to educate.

Saw a video suggesting James Spader makes 300k an episode of Blacklist.

There's a reason a lot of people are cutting the cord and stopping with TV and all the streaming shit. European soccer is going largely to pay per view at about $15 each game. Movies cost you about $20 a person minimum. Cable services are going up and every year each network is putting more programing on their pay services.

I've had enough of Hollywierd.

O heck my Ram Bro there's actor's getting paid a mill plus an episode, heck Seinfield had like 3 or 4, Friends had a bunch.

Kit Harrington got like 1.5 per for being Jon Snow.

If you have Unlimited Internet nothing better than a firestick.imho.

Xumo,Tubi Pluto and a number of things are free and legal.I ordered the Hulu Disney and ESPN bundle for 13 bucks.

And because I'm on Medicare I ordered the Amazon Prime for 6 bucks a month,that gets me a bunch of free stuff, like IMDb tv and all the ESPN except the +.

So for 20 bucks a month and a nice computer, I'm set.

And Btw Thanks to a good poster here,I'm really set with my firestick.

Good for them.
Supply and demand.
The market place always determines worth.
No one is plopping down $10 to watch me or anyone else here act in a movie.
They can get it and look at the grosses those films brought in....therefore.....they are worth it.
It is a lot of money to play dress up, but hey, so be it.
I just can’t believe Reeves gets that much to be cardboard.
