Greed and Prejudice
July 25th, 2006 by Andre Soares
Proof that people can hate each other for reasons that have nothing to do with ethnicity or nationality:
From Sharon Waxman’s "Crash Principals Still Await Payments for Their Work" in the New York Times: "When a movie costs $7.5 million to make and takes in $180 million around the world, it seems logical to think that the people who created the film would have become very rich.
"With Crash, this year’s Oscar winner for best picture and last year’s sleeper hit at the box office, that has not been the case.
…
"But the pace of payments on Crash has especially disappointed those who deferred and reduced their salaries in 2004 to get the movie made."
