I really hate this, "Blame the actors who make 30 million a picture" nonsense. Like it's their fault.
Hey! Guess what... the studios don't have to hire them. You know why they do? Because people pay money to see them. If people didn't go to see films with Russell Crowe, Mel Gibson in the numbers they do, the films would not turn a profit and these people would not get hired to make another film...
While there are a few writers and directors that a few hardcore film goers will see anything they do, these films are not making hundreds of millions of dollars in profits. It is the actors that bring in the big profits to the studios and it is the actors that can demand a fair share of that profit.
If you don't like it. Don't support it. Boycott big budget films in favour of low budget films.
