I know this isn't a new bitch, but it's a continuing one. How can a bunch of allegedly intelligent professionals not understand such a simple concept as adequate work=adequate pay?! Maybe if they weren't shelling out insane amounts of money to the people speaking the lines, then maybe it wouldn't be so hard on their budgets to adequately pay the real talents; the ones who wrote the lines! Hell, I think what pisses me off the most, is you could make a damn good movie on Julia Robert's one paycheck alone...$20 million (Yes, even after taxes and her agent's cut)while PGL just finished a contest where around 10,000 screenwriters competed for a budget of $1 million dollars. Screw LA, I'm moving out east!
