Is there anyone out there who actually likes watching this guy in a movie? I've never met anyone who's said "yeah, I'm a big John Travolta fan." It's because they don't exist. Yet he's continued to be allowed to make movies and gets paid in the range of $20 million per crappy flick.
And what's more, he thinks owning and flying your own plane is cool, when it's not. It just screams "I'm a big fat numpty who can afford a plane and I have a runway in my back garden and I enjoy reading aeronautical magazines off set".

50%?
Just about every actor ever has been in a stinker of a film at some point, and no they're not all "beautiful", but I'd like you to tell any woman from the "Grease era" if they think he's always been ugly.
And as for flying planes?
What about it? Have you ever flown a plane yourself? It's tremendous fun, I've only ever done it twice, but if i was a multimillionaire I'd sure as hell have my own plane.
As for making loads of moeny per film, you're criticising someone who makes a lot of money because he's popular?
What do you expect him to do, say to the producers or whatever "Oh no, I don't think my role in this film is worth 20 million, I'll tell you what, just for you, I'll only charge 500 thousand."
I'd hate anybody who did that, becasue they'd be the stupidest person in teh world.
And if you moan at him because he "demands" that amount of money, why?
If he knows that people are willing to payhim that much, then why not?
I haven't read the article by teh way, I've grown tired of most of these "I hate this" "I don't like this" articles because they're boring.

And that would have the same amount of logic as mine. I never said I was right, I just said.
I've met a few people who are into their planes before. They have pictures of airports as their desktop wallpapers and read magazines about wingflaps and drag. You know Travolta is like this.

If you had millions of dollars and enjoyed flying planes wouldn't you do the same as him...? You're just attacking him because he has a hobby you don't share.
Maybe all the G-force from flying his big planes made his face stay like that. Big and flat. It looks like if you punched him in the cheek, it'd leave a fist mark there for ages like plasticine, until he re-pummelled himself back to 'normal'.
But hey, let's lay off the guy's physical side. The multi millionaire pilot with his own 5 aircraft shouldn't have to be subjected to this...
*snigger*

I don't really think you can lay into a guy for enjoying flying planes. By your logic I could say I hate you because:
[you] think [writing about films] is cool, when it's not. It just screams "I'm a big fat numpty who can afford a [computer] and I have a [keyboard] in my [house] and I enjoy reading [film] magazines [on the dunny]".
I don't have a problem with John Travolta and I don't see why you could "hate" him because he's been in a couple of stinky films and looks like a rubber glove stretched around a square apple. Otherwise you'd have to hate about 50% of actors, ever. And maybe you do.

Yeah ... he wasn't born like that, you know, he was defending 20 orphens from an axe-murderer with his hands tied behind his back.

Did you read the rest of the article? Or, more specifically the line that said "But hey, I’m not so shallow as to just rip into the guy’s unfortunate physical defects – let’s go through his back catalogue and tear the guy a new a-hole." Christ, it's half written in jest - like FFF said, it's an article called Why I Hate..., what did you expect?
Wow, that article was so ill-informed, I really should do more research on John Travolta's face.
