Why don’t the actors suck it up and get paid to do a job like the rest of us.

Why should the actors get residuals after the fact. If they want residuals they should buy shares in the studio!

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so) why don’t the producers give them what they want. so everyone could go back to work. everyone will make money, but with a strike the little people hurt and its the little people that make it run smooth!! I’m in transpo so lets get it together people and make this work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@LARS I see your point; I was just thinking about John dogging on Chris Tucker for getting paid too much.

This strike to me doesn’t seem as reasonable as the writers

Keanu made so much cash on the Matrix films I’m surprised he isn’t still on vacation.

I would be…….

I agree with TheBigGiantHead, if this strike occurs TDK is the last movie I’m seeing in the theaters.

Strike? What do they want now? I know… how about a great, big kick in the a**. Selfish, egoic brats. They have everything, but still that’s not enough. Screw them. Perhaps they should be paid what average people make for a while and see if they want to strike then.

They could still film movies and shows during the writers’ strike, such as the new Star Trek movie, but they couldn’t change anything. But without actors I assume all they can do is pre-production work, but even then that’s limited.

Since the writer’s strike decimated ratings and led to cancellations of TV shows, I wonder what effect the actors strike is going to have beyond just the support industries.

@Pigeon: Some of the A-List actors get >20 million for each flick, but most actors get less and there are many actors that have a dry spell during their career. For these actors, the money they get from DVDs or re-runs can make the difference and this should be adopted to the new age of video-on-demand and internet video streaming…

What the fuck are they bitchin’ for. They already made 25 million for three fucking months(I agree with John, they are getting overpaid like fuck). Are you kidding me, this is the biggest load of bullshit every.

If this occurs you can embrace the 2008 Depression.

And we all get burned.
