        literally just have to put “randumb” in your ChatGPT prompt and you’d get the same output.

    last I read these entitled nepo babies are trying to gather more actual workers into the fold to gain traction. they are bringing in "service workers" like hotel workers who have to drive 30 minutes to their shitty job because they can't afford to actually live in the area, meanwhile all these homosexuals want is more money to sit around a writers room and hang out with other talentless nepo babies. Nobody gives a shit

    What do these morons want?

      It's unironically dumb as frick. One of their main demands is to staff TV shows with (1) writer per episode. So if Taylor Sheridan or Nic Pizzolatto want to write their own series, they'll have to pay 8-12 other worthless hacks to sit around and do nothing.

        The current method only exists to cater to these morons and the shows suffer. Every episode of new shows are written by different writers so the pacing and tone is all over the place. And then ofcourse you get subversive mother frickers wanting to do their own thing regardless of what the show is like that guy who wrote that Last of Us episode about the two homosexuals that had almost nothing to do with the actual show and only existed to fish for awards and further his career

      It's the TV writers who want everything. Minimal no-work/no-show jobs in writer's rooms is the main bone of contention. So if someone like Goober McSnatchypuss creates a show and writes all the episodes the production is still required to have a writer's room of at least 6 or 7 people.

      Kill all TV writers. Curb all TV writers. Hang TV writers from lampposts and make their dogs watch. Accuse TV writers of statutory rape. Fashion a bow tie out of a TV writers distended colon.

        Based. Everyone knows more cooks in the kitchen doesn't produce better food, but midwit commies with power will always abuse it, to the detriment of everyone else.
        I've written about 20 feature specs and been in LA for a decade trying to break in, got some huge submissions this year but now it's all on hold because of these whiney no-talent c**ts. I hope their stupidity will lead to some kind of restructuring of this broken system. Maybe we'll have a wave of new spec deals once this shit blows over, but I'm running out of patience.

          After 30th of June studios can get out of the contracts they signed with these people.
          Considering they said no to all demands, that seems to be the goal of this situation.

            Interesting. I thought June 30th was the SAG contract deadline, but not quite sure what you mean by

              Standard clause in Hollywood contracts, if they are M.I.A for two months, even in the case of strike, studios have the opportunity to void their contracts.

          Best of luck, fellow feature anon. There's hope the spec market will blossom again after so many colossal failures based on IP. Executives these days are all young shitheads who don't even remember that Hollywood used to create their own massive properties. There are literally executives out there who think Star Wars was based on a comic book.

        Every good TV series ever created was written by one person, two at most.

    The smug grin encapsulates everything wrong with modern Hollywood. The ego of these "creators" is astounding and depressing.

      That's what United Artists started as, but they ended up going public with it and it was acquired by MGM.
