Would you agree with me that a lot of people in the entertainment biz make a lot of money out of producing shit and they don't whine about it so long as the cheque arrives at their front door YES???

If there is a buyer for a product they will continue to make it. Are you saying that they should outlaw music/movies that you personally don't like?

There are only a few people out there that have a name draw and he is one of them. Sure many of his movies flat out suck, but people still pay to see them. As long as people are willing to pay to see him be in a crappy movie he will continue to make bank. Don't be pissed at him, be pissed at the legions of people that see his movies.

A good example of this at work is Steven Segal. For several years he was a huge star. He can't act, his movies all suck and are pretty much the same story rehashed, but they sold big and he made a lot of money. then people got sick of him and his movies. Soon he was making much less and now it is very difficult for him to even get a movie made.
