Apparently, all Hollywood movies are designed to BURY profits and make it look like they're operating at a loss. This is done by lack of transparency with overhead (Vastly inflated costs), and use of shell studios that are charged for "services", and so make it look the the studio is spending money (On itself, as the things a scam).
Victims of the practice include "Darth Vader", on account of Return of the Jedi not turning a profit, and Stan Lee, who never received a dime for a Spider-Man film.
This raises a LOT of questions. Like, why aren't people wise to the practices by now? Don't actors have representation in these things..? Surely, Stan Lee could afford a good lawyer.
Why does Hollywood even exist? The practice has a wiki, for gods sake, it's probably common knowledge to actors. You'd think at some point the bottom would drop out because everyone refused to be scammed, if they knew they wouldn't be paid for their work.
And why hasn't there been a government crackdown? Imagine is corporations tried this shite, the DOJ and feds would be on them in a heartbeat..
