We the people in the main-steam are hurting. We sometimes need a break, so we go to the movies to try to forget our precarious economic condition. Many of us have worked all our lives and through no fault of our own, we are suffering financially. Going to the movies for a family of four has become a major expense. Just taking my wife (of over 40 years) can be an expensive proposition on our fixed income budget.
I was wondering if you could do a favor for me and for a lot of other honest, hardworking Americans: Could you agree to make your next movie for as little as $2,000,000? I know that figure would be way below your normal compensation, but as a man who worked for over 35 years in a middle-class job and who barely made $1,000,000 in his entire lifetime, I don't see it as a great hardship.
And could you talk to some of your peers in Hollywood and see if they could also try to make ends meet on $2,000,000 per picture at least until the US economy is back to snuff? If you and your counterparts, including the female stars could see fit to make that bare minimum, then maybe, my wife and I could afford to take our grand-daughter to the movies occasionally.
Angelina Jolie, because of her large family should be exempt from my $2,000,000 per movie request. I hope she would consider $3,000,000 as fair compensation.

PS: If you can make my plan work in Hollywood, then maybe you and I could talk to A-Rod, Manny Remirez and some of their friends, so that my wife and I, and a lot of other hard-working Americans could afford to go to a baseball game once per year.
