how come you’re so offended by this pay but we never hear you complain about the pay for big name stars like Tom Hanks, Cruise, Clooney, Smith? They get 20 million+ per flick and all they do is act in front of a camera. This is more than any surgeon/doctor would make.

I think I didn’t explain myself correctly. They didn’t try hard at being an astonishing over the top crazy in your face fresh new ‘Poochie the Dog’ film. Basically they stuck to what they were good at. I think what they did do is deliver a somewhat decent story that almost captured what we loved about The Simpsons…which was the family.

I also agree however that after around season 10…the form dropped and they’ve never recovered it but as something as orginal as the Simpsons was they can never keep that going forever.

Just like Tom Hanks gets 20 million dollars to star in a movie might seem excessive but he is Tom Hanks and there is only 1 Tom Hanks in the world. These people deserve it cuz FOX screwed them during the early years. They were paid nearly nothing for the earlier seasons. It’s only fair to give them more money now to make up for it.

There are people out there like myself who can view movies (even ones as long anticipated as the Simpsons Movie) objectively. That’s what i did and found the film to be a huge disapointment. Just like the show itself ever since it got past season 10 i guess, the film decided to concentrate on the Simpsons leaving Springfield and getting into a wacky situation rather than the wonderful intimate character stories that set the show apart from all it’s competition. On the other hand, it could have just been an all out biting social commentary but they failed on that level too. Shouldn’t the movie we’d been waiting 18 years for (something THEY billed it as) have tried hard?

I unfotunately have given up on the Simpsons of today. I will always herald the first ten or so years of the show as the genius it is but the bad seasons are starting to outweigh the good ones and i’m starting to think that when the show finally ends and we look back on it, the pap that it is now will taint it highly.

Enough is enough; the show is never going to get better, it’s never going to change; kill it now.

Or better yet, pay them nothing and shut down the show for good because the longer they keep going the more they sour the entire series.

I always wanted Fox to hold out and then hire scab voices just to see how much a failure that would have been.

And for that…I actually like The Simpsons Movie because it didn’t try too hard. Its just a longer episode really.

Oh and yeah…they do get paid WAY too much!
