And I don’t care how great these people are as actors or how wonderfully the movies they are in turn out to be, I do not go to the flicker box nor will I rent those movies..not one cent of my hard earned pennies will go to their lavish elite lifestyle.

The casting of Tom Hanks in Larry Crowne was ridiculous. Tom is 55, he looks at least that and was never too attractive to begin with. Tom got over playing the lovable/cutesy guy but the best before date on that schtick has passed. A grampa sweeping Julia Roberts off her feet is so creepy a premise it’s almost Woody Allenesque.

I am certain that every one of them has an army of accountants and lawyers to make sure they pay as little in taxes as possible. Higher taxes don’t hurt the super-wealthy. They hurt those people who are working in order to become wealthy.

>>> None of those jackwagons will ever get a dime from me.

Steven Spielberg, estimated 2010 earnings: $80 million

I think he can spare your and my own dimes.

>>> How in the Hell,did these Leftist America hating bastards, Make a single Dime??

Spielberg earned $50 million from “Universal-theme-park royalties and consulting fees.” That money, coupled with his fee for War Horse ($20 million) and revenue from old films ($10 million), made Spielberg the third highest paid celebrity from last year.

Similar stories for the rest. After a certain point, compound interest makes you totally independent from anyone else’s approval.

Of course Michael Douglas will be dead shortly. I suspect his widow will find more interesting ways to burn though her hard-earned inheritance.

funny thing is that Hollywood is always moving productions in an effort to find the best tax credits/breaks

Will Ferrell is about as funny as a bout of vomiting after eating meat that has gone bad.
