This has to be one of the silliest strikes I have ever seen.
Yeah you think the actors would give up some of their pay to have the writers make more money? I don't.
It's like they learned about what strike is and thought it was cute and fun.
They are LARPing real people and I can't help but think about how funny it is when they are done for the day and the writers go home on a bus or in some 20 year old beater while the celebs are driving G-Wagons they got for free.
This is where she lives while most of those actors and writers are living with 3 roommates in studio apartments.
do the people who built it get residuals?
The garderners who mow the grass get residuals everytime someone walks over it
Honestly much less impressive than I’d thought an actress with that type of money would live. My parents live in a house like this
if that's in LA, depending on the neighborhood, that could be a $10M house.
Seeing as MR's estimated net worth is around $60M and she doesn't need her residence to be her biggest asset, that's a reasonable purchase.
taste is not just buying the biggest dumpster tier mcmansion you can afford, this is way better than most shit celebrities buy
Soulless
what does she store in those tanks?
Vegemite.
>I don’t understand or care about the strike but here’s an ignorant and stupid hot take about it
I'm not sure I've ever seen such a large and publicised strike with so little public support. Everyone is either disinterested or against them.
It's called having empathy and showing solidarity for underpaid workers, chud.
where are these new numbers coming from?
We've seen for months that the average pay for hollywood writers is $250k a year.
Did they focus group that number and realize how unsympathetic it made them all look?
I assume the quarter million dollar figure will be memoryholed now and from this day forth, the average salary for a hollywood writer is less than that of a public school teacher.

Here's the thing that bothers me.
Actors like Glen Powel dress up and join these people for an afternoon of holding a sign and making pics for social media showing how much they think about these poor people.
Day after he's on holiday in Greece, on a yacht, drinking, banging and whatnot. Week after he's partying with a group of people. Then he flies private jet to join a football game.
Yeah he really cares about these people.. he cared for a full 4 hours and then he didn't look back.
And this is what every actor has done except maybe a couple. It's a photo moment, a moment to stay relative and get named and that is it.
Even worse are the ones who start stating that their own failed careers are somehow worse than all these underpaid writers. "Yeah they don't get paid but neither do I, fuck you Netflix!"
>get me my dirty poor people shoes!
Everytime.
actual poorfag detected
Those are expensive and they are supposed to be that colour.
>rich people buy expensive shoes that intentionally look ugly, dirty and like something a poor person would wear.
it's some sort of weird flex on people they deem lower status. like if some dude who normally wears a suit in public has a business meeting some lobby with some guy while wearing cargo shorts and a t-shirt that pretty much means fuck you. the more important you are the more you dress like a dork now. thank mark zuckerberg wearing flip flops to meetings
>get me the same line posted in every thread!
Everytime.
How come I don't recognize anyone else in this photo? Is SAG 90% background actors?
If you want a proper acting job you need to join SAG, the only people you'll ever see on screen that aren't are proper extras, like $50 a day no speaking parts guy on the street extras
>I imagine that there are a lot of people who engage in manual labor behind the scenes to make everything work.
They're called the Teamsters and while they're not technically on strike their union laws are even more strict than SAG and WGA, they aren't legally allowed to cross picket lines so they're shut down too.
>How come I don't recognize anyone else in this photo? Is SAG 90% background actors?
Oh that's because beloved and acclaimed Canadian actress isnt in SAG. She is filming a new movie in Ireland while these losers are out in the street and jobless.
40 million and she can't afford some pants! Hollywood actors need a raise...
serious question:
writers and actors are not the only people working in hollywood, even if they are the highest paid.
I imagine that there are a lot of people who engage in manual labor behind the scenes to make everything work.
What is happening to those people? are they getting paid during the strike? If they're not getting paid, what happens if the writers get what they want? do the blue collar workers who just lost 5 months of income applaud the millionaires who just got a salary bump and go back to their 5 figure jobs?
Lol don’t be silly anon. Writers and actors don’t care about silly little people like makeup artists or costume designers or set designers or cameramen or a hundred other minor roles. Who gives a fuck about those plebs anyway? So yeah we’re gonna need a writers room with at least 50 people and they all need to be making at least 6 figures. Now fetch me my latte you fucking pleb.
>They're called the Teamsters
so the teamsters aren't allowed to work in the time being either. I assume their union takes care of them but I also assume that they make much less than writers and even if the strike is resolved in favor of the writers, the teamsters won't see any more money
If the writers 'win' the strike the only reward the rest of the crew gets is they get to work again.
Pro-union/worker and genuinely hope they lose and AI replaces them all, soulless selfish traitors that are psyched to sell their mental, spiritual and cultural health to global capitalism for their own profit and sense of superiority. Margot Robbie is a good way to get the nonwhite autogynephiles on board, though.
Surprised they haven't tried the old gnomish trick of calling the studios anti-semitic
They would have to call them self hating garden gnomes
She made a video years ago for a Union she was a member of when she was a young actor
Why can't she be showing solidarity for other actors? Maybe there are ethical issues that actors care about as well as financial issues
THATS MY BARBIE
Is your refrigerator running?
Yes.
GO BARBIE
GO BARBIE
what is this fridge
remember when barbie had a waist?
shes like the hot girl you see at the grocery store.
clearly got cast in barbie because women find her less sexually threatening than someone half her age with big tits.
Imagine if they had cast Sarah Gadon instead.
I'm Ken and thats enough
If the lead actress got like $40 mill from a movie, and the theaters take like a half cut, and all the execs and movie companies get a cut, like how much money is really left over for profit at the end of a run?
It's not about theatrical runs, the strike is over AI and streaming residuals. Currently, if you write a TV show or movie and it goes on streaming, you do not get a share of the streaming profits for 3 years. And seeing as most shows these days only get one or two seasons before getting cancelled the writers get nothing from it because their cut doesn't start until the show is long dead and nobody is watching any more.
And that's not how jobs work either btw. You pay someone for the job upfront and their payment is part of the budget. If the studio doesn't make enough box office to cover the budget that's their problem, not the writers.
>And that's not how jobs work either btw
You're right, it's not jobs work. In real life with real jobs, you don't get money for nothing long after you've done your work. A construction team doesn't get residuals for all the houses they've built.
you can't compare it like that
writing and acting are more or less freelancer gigs and there's long periods of earning nothing maybe followed by some periods of getting something. if you got some syndicated stuff going on maybe you'll get residuals but I'd say most of the bulk of writers need to be able to bridge the gap inbetween gigs. if I was to make 50k in a short time that shit might need to last for years.
or a job on the side.
personally I think the issue is when shows are actually successful and people get fucked none the less while some big wigs get most of the profit. but then the producers argue they actually need double the budget in order to make a profit because most movies are flops and you need to finance your next movie somehow. prolly half-truth but still
>but I'd say most of the bulk of writers need to be able to bridge the gap inbetween gigs.
It's called jobs. Get more writing jobs or get other jobs. Nobody who hires a freelancer is responsible for providing for their year-round expenses.
>writing and acting are more or less freelancer gigs and there's long periods of earning nothing maybe followed by some periods of getting something
Yeah so? That's how it works. These retards want to get paid a full time salary for doing nothing
>you can't show solidarity with someone who has less money than you
peak mind rot
having empathy is ....le bad???
Too bad they have no empathy and are "striking" for special privileges rather than worker's rights.
