A legit reason if true, but i wonder how much these C rated movies are going to pay him probably that's why he stats pad them to make something meaningful.

Sounds about right. I remember reading somewhere that he gets paid $1 million for these movies and that his part only takes a couple of days to shoot before he's gone and the rest of the movie is made. So basically, he's churning them out with the same studios, raking in the cash while avoiding any publicity tours.

$1 million you say?


How much is the total budget of the entire production of a B-rated movie?



Even some A-list movies that don't pay a million for lead roles....


Let's calm down with the throwing of figures around.

Not with James Gunn in charge, chief. Gunn creates characters who strive to do good while grappling with their morality. Whereas some directors glorify flawed, bad people, Gunn usually tries to hold them accountable while allowing them to learn and grow; he lets them navigate their way home but doesn't change the locks.

Suffice to say, if James Gunn directs, the outcome is always going to be complicated, which is why I assessed it would be a shitshow.

Which directors glorify flawed characters?

I'm not going to name names because I don't want to be second-guessed, which will surely lead to a pointless debate, so I'd suggest you look it up on Google and find out for yourself.

You might get a sense of where I'm coming from if you read this article.

Below is a screenshot of an excerpt from the article.


By the way, you have absolutely no idea how the film industry operates.

The rumor definitely has substance. There have been far too many articles and speculations about his dementia for it to be nought.

Netflix bankrolled flicks count as a standard for B and C rated flicks the likes which Bruce had been sharing beds with?

1. A subliminal allusion to his dementia issues(?)

2. A relevant talking point

Now I feel bad for him.
Still better than Nicolas Cage

I couldn't care less about his medical condition. None of my business.


My grouse is the fact that you wrote "gets paid $1 million for these movies" for a B rated movie. Where will the funds come from? How much is the total budget for the project?

It all depends on how you see things.

• Nic Cage's career trajectory has been shaped by both circumstance and choice.

• Bruce Willis' career trajectory has been shaped by circumstance.

Nic was deeply in debt, so he took whatever he could get, and once he's out of debt decides to pursue arthouse direct-to-video projects. He seems to relish the creative freedom that starring in these low-budget films provides. He isn't averse to taking risk.

He gets paid, that's all there's to it. It was backed up by the article I cited. I'm not sure why you're still arguing.

Getting paid up to a million dollars, right?


I am very much interested in the amount you quoted.


Yes or No?

Nightmare Alley.

I didn't watch a later part of the movie tho. It's hurt to see a man who hustled his way up to now go back to the lowest point any human can be. Even though it's just a movie, e pain me. cry

he's the architect of his downfall. if he had followed simple ethics to his work and stopped when he need to , he would have been ok.

Proud Mary (2018) - 7/10
This is a movie with a story well told. I'm surprised at most of the reviews I'm seeing online 'coz they're really bringing down the quality and value this movie possesses. If I'd seen those reviews beforehand, I wouldn't have watched the movie but Taraji P. Henson was great and killed her role in this movie, the action sequences were breathtaking, all actors were exciting to watch, the movie was entertaining all through and above all, it's a movie won't forget easily!
