Hollywood actors are officially headed to the picket line.

Unable to reach a deal with producers, members of The Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists joined more than 11,000 already striking film and television writers Friday morning.

The failed negotiations with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers means film and television productions featuring actors will immediately halt, essentially shutting down Hollywood. It’ll be the first tandem strike in the industry since 1960.

“We are the victims here,” said Fran Drescher, president of the actors union, during a news conference Thursday. “We are being victimized by a very greedy entity. I am shocked by the way the people that we have been in business with are treating us.”

At this stage of societal failure does anyone really give a shit?

As I tend to enjoy tv shows and movies, this is disappointing, but their strike is necessary.

Why? Unions are all about non-productive people making the same as productive people. They kill meritocracy the incentive to produce.

that's a lot of words just to say that you don't know what unions do.

Unions are about power in numbers in favor of the worker.

You thinking otherwise is expected.

Everybody loves a dogpile.

Unfortunately, those who engage in the endeavor rarely understand that the pile is usually made of dogshit.

Il74 Thread Police, what's up?

 

[ll74]

The baseline for the strike is the ability of Hollywood producers to take advantage of writers and actors in perpetuity.

Between AI and streaming, the value of the writers and actors gets diluted to the point of absurdity.

Unless you want fully AI movies and tv shows in the future, you should support their effort.

I feel oh so sorry for the rich bitches who are getting the financial shaft of only making millions instead of trillions.

Poor babies...

Yeah me too. The industry is in ruins thanks to the left and the woke.

It's not just the Left/wokers. Most of them are otherwise useless idjits whose 1 and only talent is to lack a personality. That lack allows them to assume the personality of the script and sound real because there's nothing of their own to get in the way.

To show how useless they are; I had someone ask me to make a funeral urn for their most beloved dog's ashes. I made an urn from highly figured maple with pegged lapped corners.

Her hubby works in the set construction dept for a major Hollywood studio and makes HUGELY insane wads of money. He couldn't figure out how I made it.

Idjits. All of 'em.

Capitalism is all about making regular people bend over at the alter of sustaining rich people's lifestyle and preventing those regular people from ever having the chance of being rich themselves.

 

[schism666]

They stopped whining? That is news!

you guys stopped "winning."

only making millions instead of trillions.

which actors are making trillions?

As opposed to the socialism model where everyone is unhappy, poor, and often starving. Well, everyone except the ruling caste that is.

I use splined and pegged joinery once in a while. Haven't done much woodworking since I moved but I do have all of my tools and equipment in a larger space now and ready to go. Good wood is a lot cheaper in these parts than it was in CA. My problem is I have too many hobbies.

I think that there’s one you could do without.

There are so many famous Hollywood urn movies out there- how dare he not know the ins and outs your “creation”

"woke" actors created the fucking industry, nimrod. all of them moving pictures you watched and even those talkies from your childhood were created by the people you're attempting to drag.
