Don't you just love to hear socialist celebrities grubbing for money?

I'm no fan of Susan Sarandon. But I do believe performers should share in the successes (and failures) of their works. It's her image on the screen. She should be paid for it.

Well, she got paid to do the original film. She didn't sign a contract to get any sort of extra royalties off of it, did she? I mean, she got paid for her work.

if its in the contract she signed! If not it was her poor negotiation skills, lack of foresight or plain stupidity.

She should be paid in accordance with the deal she made, period.

As far as boycotting goes, she might as well...she's been boycotting good looks for a decade!

She got paid exactly what she negotiated for, they all did. I'm sorry that it became a cult classic and she didn't negotiate a better contract, but that's her tough luck.

For some reason the film launched some career, and I'm still shaking my head over that, but not enough to arbitrarily give money away to people.

Now as for getting something to do a voice over commentary.. I suppose they could pay her scale.
