And the most overpaid actor is...

I honestly think Adam Sandler could be good, but he keeps doing "safe" low brow comedies instead of something more mature where he can show off his talent (he also asks for way too much money but that was covered in the OP). Also, he tends to ruin otherwise good movies; for example, I think 8 Crazy Nights could have been amazing if they cut out the low brow humor that ended up killing the movie.

EDIT: P.S. I'm pretty sure that he maintains his wealth through careful investing so he is not coasting off his movies. He's also a decent guy in person.

That depends. Are you feigning obliviousness, or do you just lack any real grasp on informal logic?

If you're going to try and insult me, please be a little more creative than "no u."

I wasn't trying to insult you. Just wondering whether you realized that accusing someone of "blatant fallacies" and "insults" and then suggesting that he "run along back to his Jersey Shore/Twilight marathon" is slightly ironic.

I've heard from a few people over the years that Sandler is a good guy in person as well. So, I'd rather a decent guy be overpaid than a jerk (or worse) like some actors and athletes can be.

(And, other than Wedding Singer, I really haven't liked any of his movies)

Not at all. He was arguing that popularity was indicative of quality. In other words, no it really isn't.

There are tons of comedians who have made money on crappy movies only to go on to do better things. Not just serious dramatic acting, either. There's an entire fake comedy news business. And some of them just go on to do better comedy.

Sure thing; no one's saying he's a bad guy, just that he doesn't deserve his massive wealth.

For some people it is. They get enjoyment from it the way you enjoy your favorite comedy.

I like watching most of the things Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K. make but a lot of people find their material disturbing and unfunny. That's not saying the quality of their work is poor. It's just that people have different ways of getting entertained.
