I know a lot of people rip of Nic Cage for being in crap movies, but what did Samuel L. Jackson do with his money to be in this?

Sam Jackson cited his parents' strong work ethic and never getting more than two weeks off a year as the model for his professional conduct, not seeing himself as any better just because he makes more money than they ever did. As such, he takes small roles both to work, fill in his schedule, and to be cool. Big pay for big stuff but tiny for tiny, he just goes.

Even if his range arguably suffers you can't argue that he's one of the most seasoned performers working today. Dude slides onto camera so effortlessly it's easy to forget how drat good he is at it.

Apparently when Tom Hardy signed on to play Max Rockatansky, it was for 3 movies. Miller's also mentioned that Fury Road is meant to have a sequel, Furiosa. Hopefully Fury Road will be a big enough hit for it to happen.

Seriously it seems like he'll show up for anything as long as you pay him, which I can respect. Even more impressive that that stuff never tarnishes his career.

He didn't have much of a career until he was in his late 30s, though. The first thing I saw him in was Coming To America, where he had a bit part as a stickup artist, and he was something like 35 then. Morgan Freeman was the same; his big break was Brubaker, and he was also in his 30s then.

semi off topic but i'm gonna again take this opportunity to recommend that all Morgan Freeman fans watch the underseen and underrated Street Smart, which got him his first Oscar nomination.

I wouldn't know, all I know is their idea of "all movies" seems pretty much tied explicitly to sci-fi tinged action blockbusters that are already adhering to the hero's journey formula and 90% of the time appear to come out between the months of May and August. "Hey, look, guys, people copy a successful formula for a very particular style of movie" is an opinion about as interesting as a hot dog.

Like wouldn't "all these movies look the same" be more effective a point, since after a certain number of skyline establishing shots I forgot which film I was looking at and after a certain point the chaos of the trailers blurred together since like 90% of those action sequences were pre-vized by the same company.

They are much better when doing Half in the Bag or Best of the Worst, but sometimes they can be so dense with "Have you ever stopped and thought, wow marketing seems to be the same for all these action blockbusters, especially when one of those types of movies sells well, so let's try marketing the movie like that very successful movie. Man Hollywood has run out of ideas, what a bunch of hack frauds!!!"
