He's certainly the most lucrative right now. He's had seven $100 million movies in a row. Who would have guessed that the guy who sang "Parents Just Don't Understand" would be called "the most powerful actor in Hollywood" by Newsweek?

I like the line at the end of the article "The views above are Sean Nelson's ... so don't get angry at all of us. Some of us want to beat him up, too, including his editor. Either way, write to us at [email protected] and give us your worst blockbusters, and ways to punish Sean" It appears his editor thinks he's and idiot also.
And most expensive. Word is that he is getting around $25 million per movie.
I loved him in I Am Legend...he did a great job although the movie lacked a little (I still enjoyed it though).
I agree and disagree with a lot of ones on that list, but overall: many major blockbuster movies are straight garbage and there is no one to blame for it other than the fans. If moviegoers keep going because they spend a bunch of money then they are gonna keep making the same crap.
hahaha. I read that article earlier today - it made me laugh. His entire premise is bad; he's never explicitly says what his point is. That there have been movies that made a lot of money that weren't artistic? Or that big studio moneymakers should be forbidden from their intended purpose, which is making money? A 15 year old could come up with a better story. Honestly.
I can definitely agree with him on some of those movies, I took umbrage with a few though- I give passes to kid's movies for who they are aimed at ET and Home Alone 1/2 are still pretty solid flicks.
The Spiderman(at least the first 2) were good flicks and the first well done superhero story in some time, sounds like he's just bitter about Rami. I also like Emmerich's work of The Patriot. Also for guilty pleasure just because of the sheer variety of weather depicted The Day After Tomorrow, but that one isn't very good. Also Michael Bay is terrible!

I like how he never mentions the movies which he would consider good summer movies while ripping on some of the most successful summer movies of all time. I agree, that guy is a tool.
