Jim Parsons turned down $50 million to leave The Big Bang Theory.



#BigBangTheory #CBS #JimParsons

It turns out Big Bang Theory star Jim Parsons is responsible for bringing about an end to the longest-running and most universally despised multi-camera series in television history.


Entertainment Weekly reports that the decision to end the series after the 12th season was made because Parsons was “ready to say goodbye.” CBS could not entreat Dr. Sheldon Cooper to stay for two more years, even though he stood to make more than $50 million if he did, and the show could not realistically go on without him.


All five original cast members—Parsons, Johnny Galecki, Kaley Cuoco, Simon Helberg and Kunal Nayyar—were reported to be making around $1 million per episode, something they had won through hard-fought, lengthy negotiations over the years. Nayyar is apparently not holding a grudge, telling Entertainment Tonight that “we love each other and we’re a family.” Parsons has apparently broken Cuoco’s heart, however—she posted on Instagram saying “No matter when it was going to end, my heart would have always been broken in two.”


The man responsible for the end to our long national nightmare also took to Instagram, writing that “it is hard (nearly impossible, actually) to really accept that this is a picture of the first of the final 24 episodes we will shoot for The Big Bang Theory.” Sure, Jim.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
