That is a good point too. Actors don't get "salaries" from films.

Also I should add that anyone who is an actual fan of Simon Pegg isn't likely to be bothered by his "fuck you" comments, even if they were one of the ones who hated STID. That comment fits with the personalities Pegg exhibits in his own projects.

A lot of actor are total d-bags and probably think a lot worse of their fans than a simple f-you. Christian Bale is obviously a complete asshole, and the sort of person I wouldn't think twice about avoiding company with, but it didn't stop me from enjoying the Batman films he was in and contributing a modicum of finances to his job security (as it were) by purchasing tickets to those films. Mel Gibson, Alec Baldwin, and plenty of others seem like really, really horrible people, but it doesn't stop too many people from viewing projects they are involved in.

This Pegg stuff is such a minor thing.
