damn they only make 100k a year doing their dream job. some can only afford to mortgage a home in LA instead of buying it with cash. imagine living in that kind of poverty.
good, hopefully we won't get any "brilliant" screenplays about the Titan submersible, let's forget that shit happened and move on. i fricking hate writers, they always go for the lowest hanging fruit
On a more positive note, we get to imagine the endless incalculable seething from the likes of Colbert for being off air during the most exciting part of the Orange Man saga we’ve had in years. I’m surprised he hasn’t strangled the writers himself to be honest
I work production security and our company is holding on by threads. Most of the guards got new jobs and if it wasn’t for commercials (those are non union) we’d be belly up. I CAN say from an insider’s perspective though that EVERYONE hates those fricking writers right now, and apparently the actors are next. You might not get it, but during covid everything took a dive, and when there WAS work it was strict 6 ft social distancing and constantly constantly constantly telling everyone to put on their fricking mask. And if ONE person tested positive everything would get shut down. So WE we’re basically starting to get the ball rolling again and then this fricking bullshit drops.
It’s not going to end well either because if the actors go on strike that means promotional events (you know like a little thing called Comic-Con) would also take a hit.
Fricking mega recession incoming, and we won’t even have anything to watch to pass the time.
You wouldn’t believe how far right wing most people on show set crews are. Even most of the actors are. Remember today’s actors are basically sales reps. They’re paid to shill things that make money. Their whole lives are just Alec Baldwin’s “always be closing” speech to the point where they’re not even real people anymore.
But as for the crew, like the teamsters? Transpo, grip, lighting, camera, carpenters, and craft services are literally ALL white maga dudes.
Well then how about you gather some signatures and make a public statement that you're fine working with scab writers? The only thing preventing new blood from replacing the striking TV homosexuals is that no one will buy new scripts because the people who actually make movies happen won't work with scabs. If you're into right wing meritocracy how about you reject your commie fricking unions and let talented people work?
>sell project >wga immediately enrolls you >all the big companies are signatories to the wga so you can't say no
except you can, kind of even though it's looked down upon, you can tell the wga gay thqat you want to be financial core, which means paying bare minimum dues but not a member of the homosexual union. you can't vote but you also are under no obligation to strike. it's illegal to force people into unions but most writer gays don't know that or are commies who want to be in the wga

When they try to enroll you what if you just don't fill out the paperwork?
To be a bit more accurate, you can hire scabs but only if you’re prepared to ONLY hire scabs on every level from the writers to the lighting guys to whoever they get to cater food to the set
How do they know if you joined the union or not?
They ask the union if Anon McAnonson is a member

Do the Union people work harder than the scabs and that is why they get paid more?

the opposite actually, scabs can be fired on the spot
not the anon but i'm a writer and i'm anti strike. i fricking hate the wga and their nepotistic, never helping any newbies out attitude. and then they go out and write shit and except sympathy. i hope they fail, my next project i'm filing fi-core
Bro do you honestly think most of these people even have access to their social media accounts? You get a Gina Carano every once in a while and I wouldn’t even be surprised if THAT was even done in a controlled environment so she could get away from Disney. There’s just too much money, politics, and history at stake. I mean, you tell me, if you owned Disney would you sleep soundly at night knowing that Pedro Pascal and Bryce Dallas Howard could get hopped up on cocaine and booze and post some crazy story about how all Disney executives are secretly vampires that eat children, just for the lulz? OR would you make them sign over their social media accounts to a legal staff in exchange for $$$$$$$?
>they’re not even real people anymore
It's more than just recent years. I've heard from people how much it messes you up to always be emptying yourself and pretending to be somebody else.
Actors actually probably work harder than everyone else, because not only are they crucial to the projects (it’s literally their faces we are on the screen) but they also have to promote, rehearse, actually act…which believe me is harder than it looks, AND on top of all that they have to keep up a positive public image as well as their appearances. There’s a reason most of these people go fricking crazy in their older years.
And don’t forget, you can never become “un-famous,” so just imagine never being able to go out in public and just be a nobody again. I’m sure the first few years are amazing, but this was the way an actor I won’t name explained it to me when I asked him why he hated his fans so much. “Imagine you’re at a family reunion, and at first it’s nice to see everyone and they’re happy to see you, but after a few hours you start thinking up excuses to leave. Only imagine you can’t leave EVER and you don’t know anyone there but everyone knows every fine detail of your life.”
lol no they aren't. I also work in production in LA. it's all ran by woke white women. you might have some friends that are "maga" but you are in the minority
Oh there’s no doubt in my mind that the production people are all lgbtqrstuvwxyz+AI. And there’s some exceptions like wardrobe and hair/makeup. But the strong arms that make the sets and the filming of those sets possible are very very right wing. Btw you can be gay and be a republican right winger. There’s tons of lesbian truckers in transpo that look like dudes with maga hats.

Black person if you can't find everything you want to watch for free you're not trying hard enough. At this point I have such a huge collection if the internet disappeared I'd still be rolling in kino for the rest of my life.
Most of us have already seen that shit. Nobody cares about your le backlog could last my whole life! argument it would actually be nice for newer nonhacky artists to have a platform for those of us who have seen it all
If you've seen all of the past good films, then what the frick are you doing watching modern shit? There's this thing called novels that predates films by hundreds of years. Maybe you should consider books as an option
>babies love old stuff made in the 1950s >old people love the new capeshit movie
Usually this stupid claim is the other way around but in your zoomer-rage to pile on more insults to the poster you got it backwards and made yourself look like a moron.
We can keep the Cinemaphile name, but get hiroshimoot to allow israelitetube stuff here.
Also add /incel/ - Internet Celebrities for general ehomosexual drama and shit like fishtank
>Fricking mega recession incoming
Based, I hope those writers and actors lose their jobs because of it, and the studios go down with them. >we won’t even have anything to watch to pass the time.
There's isnt jack shit worth watching in the last decade so I don't know what you're talking about. Plus Youtube is producing better shit to watch these days, who knew a dude with autism clearing culverts can be so kino.
Money. They want more. They want a bigger piece of the streaming pie. They want guarantees they wont get body scanned and then years later have studios stop hiring them and instead have an AI animate a CGI version of them
This, plus they literally admitted they’re all inept diversity hires when their reasoning as to why shrinking writer rooms to less people was “who do you think will get those jobs then? Not women, minorities, or queers!”
I want them to keep striking until they get a contract for residuals that’s based on viewership and force israeliteflix and the rest to open the iron mountain apocalypse vault they keep that data in
i'll be honest i've never understood royalties. it's like getting paid for the same job twice.
i understand it's a short-term gain for studios since they can pay less upfront in exchange for the actor getting a greater percentage of the backend. is there anything else to it?
I'd give more of a shit about these people if I had seen an interesting movie written in the past decade that wasn't some girl power 80 IQ quipfest bullshit written by men who weigh more than they bench, men with amuptated penises or "women"
really you can do the above even if it was at least interesting, amusing or entertaining. The only show I watch is The Rookie, and since that one involves cops it is probably moments from being panic canceled
What do all the other union people do while production is basically shut down? Like the Grips and the sound people, and set builders? They all have their own unions right? Do their unions cover lost wages?
Yes it is. At this point Hollywood is so creatively bankrupt the only thing interesting about it is their labor disputes.
its my time to shine
damn they only make 100k a year doing their dream job. some can only afford to mortgage a home in LA instead of buying it with cash. imagine living in that kind of poverty.
wait...the strike is still going on?
The submarine meem overshadowed it big time
good, hopefully we won't get any "brilliant" screenplays about the Titan submersible, let's forget that shit happened and move on. i fricking hate writers, they always go for the lowest hanging fruit
On a more positive note, we get to imagine the endless incalculable seething from the likes of Colbert for being off air during the most exciting part of the Orange Man saga we’ve had in years. I’m surprised he hasn’t strangled the writers himself to be honest
And yet, Gutfeld is still on air because he writes his own shit lol.
That’s the writer strike. The actor one is about to start
Who the frick are even current actors? Just swap them for pornstars, at least they'll look good.
Not only is the writer's strike still going on, the op image is about the theoretical ACTOR'S strike, which is looking like a real possibility now
Theyre gonna get outshined hard in about 3-4 weeks give or take.

Literally nothing I said was related to your response…..almost as if a bot wrote it…interesting.
my brother in christ, you are posting this on a board that literally wants everyone not named mel gibson who is involved in film to die

If it were up to me there would be no unions, commie. Let the market develop by itself, without any interference.
I'm a hardcore anarcho capitalist, and I have more talent than any of these WGA homosexuals. Tell me where I can send my scripts.
Into the trash where they belong you troony chaser

You now remember that 3 or 4 days the "cyber picketers" from the writers union were shilling here until they got fed up and left.
good. frick all greedy executives and top level people.
what is the REASON for this strike?
Money. They want more. They want a bigger piece of the streaming pie. They want guarantees they wont get body scanned and then years later have studios stop hiring them and instead have an AI animate a CGI version of them
Communists want to be paid $7500 per WEEK to write scripts teaching you about your white privilege.
This, plus they literally admitted they’re all inept diversity hires when their reasoning as to why shrinking writer rooms to less people was “who do you think will get those jobs then? Not women, minorities, or queers!”
I want them to keep striking until they get a contract for residuals that’s based on viewership and force israeliteflix and the rest to open the iron mountain apocalypse vault they keep that data in
do you really expect me to watch a fricking 52 second clip?
i'll be honest i've never understood royalties. it's like getting paid for the same job twice.
i understand it's a short-term gain for studios since they can pay less upfront in exchange for the actor getting a greater percentage of the backend. is there anything else to it?

Your labor is worth zero.
Its funny when they tried to do this to the video game industry and it had zero impact whatsoever
I like how they think they have any power.

Which is what? Sucking off guys at truck stops?
>Bragging about being a poorgay to own the commies
What is the endgame? I haven't actually seen a list of demands.
Remember how much fun all those threads were putting actors in different movies with ai?
So the actors are striking for like better streaming residuals, minimum staffing for writers rooms, no AI, does that basically cover it?
Why would actors be striking to improve writer's wages? That would be illegal.
Sorry I meant the writers. I was trying to figure out what they were asking for and that is what I pieced together.
So what the frick do the actors want when they are going to strike? No AI?
What do all the other union people do while production is basically shut down? Like the Grips and the sound people, and set builders? They all have their own unions right? Do their unions cover lost wages?
Those guys are doing commercials or music videos. Things that don't require writers
