You know what really grinds my gears?

It's weird that you see people freaking out about how much athletes get paid, but you rarely here anything about actors. Robert Downey Jr. banked $50 million for Iron Man 3.

It's weird that people freak out over people's salaries when those people bring in the bank for the people they work for. They earn what they're paid. Downey was a huge part of that film and it grossed around $1.2 billion. If my math is right, dude only pulled in less that half of 1% of what that movie made. When you help pull in millions or billions of dollars in revenue, you've kind of earned a big paycheck. Obviously he was only a part of the success, but he was a big, big part.

Yet, you have SFX firms going out of business because they don't make enough from SFX in films (which is an ever increasing part of most movies).

And what's the cause of this? I really haven't read anything on it, so I've no clue. Is it because they're massively underpaid, or because there are too many of them and only the really big ones are getting the work? It's great to bring up an issue, but with absolutely no information as to why or how, it doesn't mean anything.

Bankruptcy. Income covers initial production, but if a movie goes through reshoots/re-edits or anything else that lengthens production or creates extra work the firm gets no additional income while having to pay OT to their employees. Plus, I believe it is one of the few Hollywood industries with no union involvement.

That's on them, if they don't work out a deal to their benefit that's just bad business. I'm sure the studio would LOVE to pay Downey $10 for each Iron Man film, but Downey and his management are too savvy to enter into such shenanigans.

Injured my wrist a while back, it's slowly starting to get better but I have to really baby it. Worst thing is I can't work out for atleast a month, possibly 2.

I'm just itching and clawing to go and work out, I stuffed all my weights in a closet and everytime I walk by it I think I want to just pull em out and bang out a workout, or even do some push ups but I know I can't or I risk messing up my wrist even more.
