ARGH!!

In response to Johnny Depp's salary, the only good thing that is going to come out of it is that another pirates movie is premiering in theaters! I thought that the third movie was the last movie in the "pirates trilogy." Midnight premiere round four here I come; that is if I can save up enough money to afford to go to the movies since the economy is tanking (vomit).  I never understood why actors are paid vast sums of money for filming movies. I agree that acting does take a substantial amount of work, but is two hours of make believe really worth 55 Million...... MILLION.... dollars? Seriously, I never would of thought that  being a pirate wench would prove to be a wise career choice. What scares me is that not only do the studios have enough money to overpay the actors; these large corporations have enough money to make the movie and fiance other "necessities."  Studios clearly  can't put a price on the important things required on a set such as Tivo, catered food, and personal trainers. If Johnny needs to work out in between takes, the studio will make sure a trainer is on hand at all hours of the day.

I can think of thousands of jobs that require the same amount of time and energy that acting requires, but does not pay nearly the same amount. People don't see doctors or nurses walking around with millions of dollars. Well yes doctors do make large amounts of money but they at the same time they are saving lives. The world will not end if Pirates four does not premiere in theaters. Don' t get me wrong. I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE watching attractive pirate men run around on the movie screen, but if the attractive pirate man whores are part of the reason why the economy is failing, I'm pretty sure that the first three movies will hold me over until the recession ends.
