As a resident of beautiful south jersey, go fuck yourself.
onepostmen
I'm from new Jersey......what did I do wrong?
WellDressedDoge
At least the gas is <$2.15 here
Supea
Great, let's start deciding other people's salaries for them, that should go well! My neighbour Ex-soviet union perfected that shit!
skelitor120
Things soviet union did right: Celebrities, assault rifles, combat marches. Things soviet union did wrong: maybe everything else
Arch4space
They get paid their market value, as does everyone else.
justagardener
They have a window of time to maximize what they can get. For every massive pay day they get, there is years of fuck all
PillsburyFuckboi
The sort of thing that a person who's probably never been to nj would say
TheAngryEngineer
I think most commenters are missing the point. WE CAN BUILD A DEATH RAY!
krugle
They generate a large amount of income, they should be paid accordingly.
robogeek78
But how many unsung heroes are in those same productions. It isn't just the celebrities that bring in the money
yuikkiuy
found the newyorker
KainWhisper
I think of this like the whole women's athlete's bullshit. Ronda Rousey. The more you bring in, the more you should get paid. Simple logic..
Lexi343
New Jersey is actually a great place to live, if you stay away from the Jersey Shore and any place close to NYC. North is mostly beautiful!
Throwny
Can confirm this It's beautiful here
crazedhunter
and they film alot of the scenes from game of thrones here!
KakAlakin
As a resident of New Jersey, hey we're not THAT bad. At least we're not Florida.
Mcknizzle
I'm sorry, I couldn't hear you over our booming economy, rocket launchings, and cheering tourists.
chilliwillybilly
Start with Chris Christie
justengineeringthings
As someone in jersey, i have no arguments against that. Just aim your death ray for the northern part.
meatshieldxxl
In economics It's called the superstar phenomenon, google it
WhiteOthello
Can we at least save cape may? The beach is great and they got sick houses
unreliableLobster
Why do you hate NJ? It's a beautiful state.
AIias
extremely underrated. thanks to newark and shit. check out north jersey. Saddle River area is the place to be. And then head west. 1/2
AIias
lakes, forests, beautiful mountain ranges. its really, really underrated. 2/2
InformalProof
As someone from NJ, fugedaboutit, also where would the Grease Trucks go?
JumpTheCheeseburger
They're trucks, they'll just drive over the GWB.
TeachMeSomething
Disintegrated with the burdened landfills. An end to WM's storage problems...and evidence disposal problems.
chastfour
Oi fuck you Florida's worse!
Mcknizzle
Florida hosts Disney world and the primary launch center for NASA. Gateway to our dreams mudda fukaaaa
drenix
Florida is under the protection of Florida Man
Bonnedad
Why are you counting the money in someone else's pocket?
Cere4l
because the money in their (and my own) pockets are not enough to build a DEATH RAY *starts drooling a bit*
wildsoapbox
Why do you thiink George Clooney lives in Italy? He's making a death ray
OriannaTheLadyOfClockwork
Not since the accident.
AwkwardSmiler
I thought he lived there because no one in Italy had seen Batman & Robin. Bat-nipples ftw.
goddamnitletmepickaname
Fuck George Clooney
scopegoat
fuck canada!
Skittleballs
You better get in line for that, I hear he's popular with the ladies.
obizues
As long as he's not remaking that terrible "The American" movie we are good.
daguq
That was a great movie. Stick to fluff like the Ocean's movies.
obizues
That was the worst movie I have ever seen. I almost walked out.
ifabearshitsinthewoods
What the hell man... I live in New Jersey
Gamegeek24
As someone who was born and raised in NJ, fuck you.
Mcknizzle
Good for you! Breaking the cycle of illiterate new jerseyans and defending your homeland no matter how god awful it is!
Polygrammar
Welcome to America OP. Actually, scratch that. Welcome to business. They make a lot of money because they push a product. Themselves.
Tyrannotron
Their pay is based off how much money they can make for the people paying them. As long as there's a net profit, they're worth the money 1/2
Tyrannotron
as much as anyone is worth what they get paid, really, and often worth quite a bit more. 2/2
Kolojang
It's all about equity. If they generate millions of revenue for the producers, they should get a fair share of that. Same as with sports.
spicepoet
What's funny is the Celebs 'Fair Share' is far from the most given to an individual for a successful production.
YammaK
*Ahem* College sports? You where saying?
Rakint
You didn't read the whole post
byerss
Unless you are an NCAA athlete. Then you should just be happy with what you get while the school makes millions on your likeness.
Samoht
I think that's a good point. If a movie makes $100mil and the actors only made a few thou. it would just means the studio would make more.
Mavgurian
It means studios milked cinemas and movie-goers.
StooperDave
has nothing to do with fairness. Its simple supply and demand. famous actors sell tickets, so they are in demand and get paid big for it.
Kolojang
Exactly. Big name actor brings in big money so they get a big share of that money. That's what I call fair.
StooperDave
yes, my point is, the studio isnt saying "thats fair" They are negotiating a payment that both parties agree on. Fairness isnt part of it >
StooperDave
a very famous actor could demand far more than "fair" for his name and likeness to be attached, and if they studio wanted that exposure>
StooperDave
they would pay it. likewise, a no-name actor could be taken for a ride by the studio just because he needs work. but he/she agreed to it.
robogeek78
But how many unsung heroes are in those same productions. It isn't just the celebrities that bring in the money
ToastedVanilla
Animators and FX people get fucked up the ass in the film industry. I.E. Life of Pi
CitizenDickbag
Nobody goes to a movie based on who the gaffer is.
Kolojang
You're a lot less likely to go see a movie because you liked the work of the key grip in another movie.
nextgenpants
Hey, Daniel J. Ludwinski is a lighting treasure!
Adato88
I tent to choose my film choices based on director of photography, and script writers,
Bradapalooza
Most of the good Directors of Photography start making a lot of money after shooting a good film.
MyFavoriteThingtoDoisFlakeOnPlans
>tent
Adato88
Yes tent, I pitch a tent, sit inside and make a decision... *Tend.
pgdave
Cool - but millions of other people spend money in different ways. Their votes outweigh yours.
Adato88
It does, but my point is, it is not only the actors who bring in revenue, I would go and watch any film Robert Richardson is credited on,1/2
obizues
Script writers make millions and some directors are bigger than celebrities in their movies.
Adato88
You wouldn't put Roger Deakins and Shane F. Kelly in the same wage bracket, but both great cinematographers in their own right.
Adato88
Director of photography (cinematographer) not talking about the main director.
ObedientWombat
As a man from New Jersey. Why
aCoolBreezeOnAHotSummerDay
Well your guns laws suck big time. Obliteration by death ray would give you a chance to start over and fix that.
ObedientWombat
As a gun owner from new Jersey, you have a point there
KuuroiYuki
I think it's a random example with no intentions @-@
GavinScreaming
As someone from Pennsylvania, I don't get the NJ hate, The only part that's shit is the part that is basically an extension of NYC
noforeplay
I once heard someone say that the only places in NJ you could have a high quality life were Jersey City, Bayonne, and Trenton...
theczar90
I live in NJ. Fuck you
Mcknizzle
I'm so sorry for your current living conditions :(
theczar90
My living conditions are sublime
Mcknizzle
You have to live below the limes? My goodness!
theczar90
I have no comeback for that haha
IMayNotKnowWhatIAmTalkingAbout
You're not helping!
theczar90
Idc. if you're going to make outrageous statements about blowing up an entire state based on stereotypes of it you deserve a fuck you
Demauscian
This is why it must go.
CitizenDickbag
It's called a joke.
theczar90
Right a joke.
R3mmy
When citizen dick bag needs to point of how to be polite
tumblebuggy
Then stop consuming them. They are in demand, not their fault
Earthgrubb
muh fwee market
imooforyou
That's cute. They are branded and marketed. Media hyping them to become a thing. People buy what's advertised.
liesuponlies
Um... Pretty sure OP just wants the excess funds for her death ray.
TubaBandito
We're onto you OP
StarrrryNight
But that doesn't work. They're not a scarce product. The more you use them there doesn't become less of them.
LRidge
they demand the salary, not the studio.
Texantioch
I'mma celebritarian.
TheDudeOrHisDudeness
OP hasn't said it's their fault. Flawed system is to be blamed.
MigraMines
then how do we afford the death ray?
MyLifeisaComplicatedDrinkingGame
Yes but they're in demand because of the marketing done to tell us they're worth it. It's kinda forced on us, not REAL demand.
almostsomething182
I literally cannot consume them any less. I stream everything I watch for free :)
HsuDoNihm
No. If I demand that you be my slave, I'm wrong. If you agree to be my slave, you are wrong too... unless it's sex. That's different.
killer10347
Telling Americans to stop consuming. Hah.
Rakint
You didn't read the whole post
HorseGirlErection
I think there's gonna be a big shift in demand once the TV generation dies.
EClaire1073
I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I'm all out of bubble gum.
Koshunae
I have a sweet ass.
Autocorrekt
I mean if I had a choice to watch a $10 movie with Tom Cruise or the same movie with a no-name actor for $8 I would without a doubt go w/ $8
ImStatingTheObvious
So are Doctors. You do not see them in mansions. Idiot.

I have never once watched a Kardashian show and they're still famous for some reason no one has named yet
rollercostarican
because other people watch the kardashian shows
idrinkcheapbeer
People drive on the turnpike once on the way to NYC and think they are NJ experts.
RevolutionOnHerLips
I used to call NJ all day. Lawyers, loan officers, title companies, insurance companies. I'm ok with not having NJ in my life anymore, tbh.
PillsburyFuckboi
TIL that lawyers and insurance agents are only sleazy pieces of shit in nj
GuardLLama
Or they watched the Jersey Shore and think a bunch of Long Islanders that were banned from the state represent us.
dakeroni
"I saw a factory with gross smoke off the tp... NJ must all be a shithole!"
rubbarz
They'd be right about the coastal part of NJ.
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
oh you saw jersey shore? cool.
rubbarz
I lived there...
hungitalianohwaitthisisntgrindr
me too and i don't agree. also i don't say i hate jersey so people will like me.
HonorHunter
People say they hate NJ. No, you hate North Jersey, and you've never really spent any time in it anyways.
dakeroni
North jersey is literally just a NYC suburb. Bergen county resident
ICantThinkOfAU
I've never even been to the USA let alone NJ specifically. I hate Jersery Shore, I love Jay and Silent Bob. I'm very much split on the issue
PillsburyFuckboi
The people from Jersey shore are from ny anyway
idrinkcheapbeer
Neither are really completely indicative of New Jersey.
ICantThinkOfAU
Yeah I was joking, I would be very surprised if 50% of NJ did things like steal monkeys, and the other 50% was mute
idrinkcheapbeer
well, not exactly. Delaware Water Gap, Lake Hopatcong, High Point....all in North Jersey. What people hate is a very small area of NJ.
ScoopsLongpeter
yay hopatcong!
pflyguyp
I'm from Mercer and I hate Camden and Newark. Well, save for the safe part of Camden, aka the aquarium.
dengler
Yeah I mean who could hate Sussex county...
ScoopsLongpeter
I think just about everyone when they're doing road work on 206
dengler
As someone who drives all around Sussex County for my job I can confirm.. roads around here aren't equipped to handle the traffic loads.
