>be writer >strike for more shekels >get more shekels >continues to strike for shits and giggles >gets replaced by ai
I remember reading a similar story about the guys that did maintenance on elevators (maybe NY?) that went on strike and got cucked when they changed the models or something, rendering their jobs obsolete.
I want to shit and piss on sll of their worthless heads and make them lick my ass clean because that's what they're used to. They need to get a real job and see how good they had it but will never have again
The only thing I agree with the strikers on is that studios should not be able to scan their faces/bodies and use their likenesses forever without being compensated. That's pretty ridiculous.
Some darkie was trying to get sympathy for only getting a couple hundred dollars in risiduals from a few shows he worked on.
Imagine being a plasterer and still receiving cheques for the work you did on a house fifteen years ago? Must be nice.
The studios are never gonna give up developing AI as a replacement. The writers have no leverage so they'll get more desperate to compromise. At the end of the day they'll be the ones conceding to the studios demands
so true bro why do you need to have a physical script prepared when you can have a pdf that’ll get lost in someone’s flood of emails kwab heckin zased or perhaps keyed???
Are the writers so bad because they're paid so little? I've been reading some tales from writers disclosing their low upfront checks and their non-existent residuals. My question is, are these shitty writers the only people studios can get to work for them? The writing is really, REALLY bad. For some years now I can be ten minutes into a show and already know how it's going to end. They forcefully insert their moronic politics in an attempt to shame viewers. They use cliche. They use exposition through dialogue. Dialogue is so unbelievably bad, where something explodes and the actor says, "That's gonna leave a mark" or something unusual happens and they say, "Well, THAT just happened."
So, what came first? The bad writing or the bad paychecks? Were the writers so bad studios saw no real reason to pay them, or was the pay so bad all they get to apply are bad writers?
one of them was a writer for orange is the new black which was one of the most popular shows around back when it released
and they made like 300 bucks in residuals
I’ll write a Hollywood movie for free sign me up. The writers are bad because they’re bad not because they’re underpaid. They should be paying me to watch that ugly, racist slop.
They're going to lose and lose badly. By the end they'll accept anything the studio's offer them. SAG will have got their deal by then and wont give a shit.
Frick em both, Writers need to make better material cause everything has been so bland and agenda based its palpable. Also the big money grubbing israelites at the top need to throw a bone when it comes to workers.
This is the perfect storm for the writers to get butfricked to kingdom come. Unlike the prior strike, the general public has no love for current writers. They've been shit on, belittled, demeaned, disrespected, and worst of all fricking attacked by recent movies/television. They don't give a flying frick about the writers any more. The writers stopped caring about the audience long ago. I have no clue they were this deluded to think ANYONE is on their goddamn side currently.
I keep seeing videos of that dipshit Adam Ruins Everything guy. They're definitely not going to get any sympathy having him speaking for them. Absolutely no one likes that guy.
Regressives do not even try with their propaganda anymore lol. In the past they would have gotten some guy that other guys wanted to be and women wanted to be with but now all they have left are these homosexual guys like Adam Whatshisname.
It's crazy, isn't it? I remember being completely on the side of the writers for the 2008 strike. Not that it mattered; they got screwed anyway, and television hasn't been the same since. There were many shows I had grown to love over the years, and I really wanted good things for the writers.
This current batch of writers, however? I laughed when I heard they were striking. I REJOICED that they were striking because thank God, they're not writing anything. I think one thing that is so terrible about current writing is outside of their sphere of influence, and that's the streaming factor. I don't think writers had any control over being told to ditch an episodic approach and instead stretch a one hour plot out over the course of 12 shows in the hopes of people staying subscribed to get weekly installments. But that's all the slack I'm willing to give them.
If studios know what's good for them, they'll fire ALL of the writers. Every single last one. Ward off any complaints of selectively firing only the inferior-talent diversity hires. Just fire all of them. Clean fricking house. They've given this 100 days. Time to start afresh. Go read through some of those mountains of spec scripts and make some phone calls. If the actors want to piss around and keep striking nobody is going to care much. We need some new star power anyway. Seems anytime there is an action film they go break Harrison Ford or some other boomer out of the old peoples' home. There is unlimited raw talent to tap into in this country, and they're all baristas at Starbucks or working at department stores eagerly waiting for a phone call to work even just one day as an extra. The actors are very easily replaced.
This is definitely what should happen. Problem is, all of the other departments who could make a film happen also have homosexualy unions that won't let them work with "scab" writers.
Meritocracy is the only thing that can save Hollywood at this point, but their own cancerous unions would rather commit suicide than allow it.
lmao how long has this charade been going?
you'd think by now if they were at all necessary studios would A.) cowtow as much as they could to avoid losing revenue or a valiable asset or B.) the strikers would cave due to being broke and homeless since after all, they are severely """underpaid""' for their """""""""work""""""""
I stand with the true artists and God's divine power that will never die
lol
>even if you come to terms with us we're still going to be on strike
yeah they want a deal with sag-aftra too. did you read it carefully?
LMFAO
FRICK these people
the Whiners Guild deserves everything that's coming to them.
red and white, interesting color choice
They don't hide the fact that they're champagne socialists who want "economic equality" as long as they stay rich.
>WGA SAG-AFTRA UNITY

Whos with me?

Writer homies think they have the upper hand
Someone should be trolling the strikers on twitter with telling them to learn to code.
The only thing I agree with the strikers on is that studios should not be able to scan their faces/bodies and use their likenesses forever without being compensated. That's pretty ridiculous.

I don't see how the union can cave on AI, and I don't see why the studios would. Hollywood is going to massively change.
Fricking this
The studios are never gonna give up developing AI as a replacement. The writers have no leverage so they'll get more desperate to compromise. At the end of the day they'll be the ones conceding to the studios demands
why do hollywood need ai?
Lol
Fricking morons never hear of a scanner and ocr
so true bro why do you need to have a physical script prepared when you can have a pdf that’ll get lost in someone’s flood of emails kwab heckin zased or perhaps keyed???
No fricking difference lol. Lost in this pile too. OCR and an e-ink pad with stylus support would do the job better.
light it on fire and start over, with my script of course
stfu ESL
Look at all that training data.

what's your point?
>popularity=quality
a writer for how many episodes
The 2007-2008 strike has your answer.
I’ll write a Hollywood movie for free sign me up. The writers are bad because they’re bad not because they’re underpaid. They should be paying me to watch that ugly, racist slop.
Scabs get the rope.
>I stand with the W G A
Well i dont

I hope they just shoot the writers.

He's actually making the strike worse for everyone lmfao, the way he behaves is like he never had a full time job

>Disney already announced 3 billion dollars in cuts to its movie/TV industry after so many box office bombs
If the writers cave then thousands of them are gonna get axed. There will be a massive thinning of the herd once this strike is over

Today marks the 100 day so it's a day longer than the 2007 strike
