There's a reason for haters


For all you fan boys & girls who always question... "Why all the hate?" Here's why.

Not too long ago, Hollywood (mainly acting) was an extremely difficult place to get work in. It used to be based on raw talent, versatility and dedication. The payoff, monetary and fame was collected in dividends: Mainly how well the film or show did in the theaters / television and royalties. Budgets weren't astronomical so the actors were paid a whole hell-of-a-lot. They made their money over time. Today, that basic path has been diminished by $100,000,000 dollar budgets. The "comedic" actors are collecting exorbitant paychecks off the bat, whether the work is successful of it fails. When an action like this falls into place, workmanship goes out the window. Unfortunately, Adam Sandler figured this out a long time ago, which is why he makes so much money while the audience and box office suffers.
Think about it... If you got paid before you performed your job, would you produce as well? NO, you wouldn't!
This is why there's been a 20 year flood of talentless actors.

It also has a lot to do with intellect. There is nothing smart about todays Hollywood. The writing is.. Well, how do I put this delicately without breaking your political correct mind... Kevin James. Look him up and you'll see what I'm talking about
