Is it Ok To Hate a Movie If....

So I was at the new Healthy All Organic Burger King tonight. Have you tried it yet? No? Yeah that's because it doesn't exist.

So I was at Burger King tonight and playing on the radio was the song "Accidentally In Love" by The Counting Crows from Shrek 2. It got me thinking. I remember going to see Shrek and loving it. I bought it on DVD the day it came out.

I reeieved one of those early free screening passes to go see part 2 a few nights before it came out and I remember liking it but also being disapointed. I just thought the movie could have been better. Then I read that the 3 main actors, Mike Myers, Cameron Diaz and Eddie Murphy all got 2o million dollars each to do the voices for Shrek 2. Supposedly they did one of those things where "if you don't pay the amount requested I walk" type of deals. Also after the huge opening of part 2 they signed another contract stating that they would get 20 million dollars for the next two Shreks. That's 40 million each to come in and do some voices.

Now ever since finding this out I haven't really looked at Shrek the same way. I know it sounds cheesy but every time I watch Shrek 2, the movie that brought me a good time and some laughs, I start to get a little angry. I hate thinking that 60 million dollars was payed and none of it was for any computer genterated images.

This may seem like a silly post, but it was on my mind since eating my all organic Whopper from Burger King. I also want to know , not including Austen Powers, what hits have these actors made to make them worth 20 million each? Maybe Craig T Nelson and Holly Hunter should demand 20 million to revive their roles as the Incredibles and since Tom Hanks is the biggest name of all the ones I listed, he should get 50 million to play Woody again. Well I hope they get their well deserved voice money. Eddie Murphy did. You all know who he is. the leading man behind such hits as "The Haunted Mansion", "Daddy Day Care", "The Adventures of Pluto Nash", I Spy and Showtime.
