Actors union joins writers on strike, shutting down Hollywood

[Blaster]

Those poor actors. A million dollars for a couple of weeks work isn't enough.

Maybe Biden can get welfare checks to them.

It’s not about the actors. Its about the writers.

 

[Resnic]

Fine with me.

Most of today's movies are dog shit, especially mainstream Hollywood garbage.

That's why I have a big amount of blu rays and DVDs and 4ks at home and it's almost all comprised of movies mostly from the 80s with some 90s stuff going back towards the 30s. I have very few movies from like 2010 till now.

I really don't care. I love Hollywood but it needs a serious enema with all these woke dipshits pushing agendas and trying to say what you can and can't do in movies, terrible writers, bad actors and so on. Hollywood used to say "go do whatever you want, just bring money back with you". Now it's all this overly measured paint by numbers style of movie making that's so dumbed down it's no fun.

I miss amazing and unique sound effects guys, special effects artists, directors, writers and so on. Now it's all generic cookie cutter bullshit.

One of the things the actors are striking for is this--which I find disturbing. If you are an extra or as they sometimes call it, "atmosphere", the studios want to be able to use your image and put that into different productions in perpetuity and never compensate you beyond what you made on that one day when they hired you. So the crowd from Caddyshack (if it were made today) could be used on a film 20 years from today and none of those actors get rewarded for it. How sick.

So you believe all actors make a million dollars for a couple of weeks work?

Oh no. Now the actors are going on strike too. At a time when content is the crappiest it has ever been, they go on strike. They are putting themselves out of business. Time for the rise of alternate studios.

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.

These people are so stupid. It started with Vannah White demanding a huge raise up to half of what Pat Sajak was earning - right at the very same time they were thinking they don't really need an old lady with five facelifts to turn letters anymore, especially since she doesn't actually turn letters anymore.

 

[Burgermeister]

What if everyone in Hollywood went on strike and nobody gave a shit? This will be glorious.

 

[Dekster]

On the plus side, we can all get our own reality show now the providers will be so desperate for new content. "Coming this fall, a reality show like no other, featuring the ensemble cast from USMB; prepare yourselves for the first season of The Flame Zone, presented with limited commercial interruptions (but they will all be the woke kind featuring black lesbians and shit)."

As derivative as most recent films have been it wouldn't be particularly different if they just kept recycling past scripts.

 

[scruffy]

Let me know when your first release is.

Hollywood isn't shut down, trust me.

 

[Calypso Jones]

I'm not hearing anyone clammoring for the return of kimmel, fallon or colbert...cause. NO. ONE. CARES.

 

[Calypso Jones]

Hollywood isn't shut down, trust me.

i'm sure they're hard at work sexually abusing whatever kids they can get their hands on..even their own.

 

[Lord-Humungus]

As this strike has been going on for a few months now has anyone noticed a difference?
For me there is plenty of stuff to watch on one of the streaming services I have. The weekends now have collage football and starting today the NFL. AI can generate products as good and probably better now. If it wasn’t for the occasional mention in the news I would have no clue there was a strike.

 

[Calypso Jones]

makes you wonder if fallon, kimmel and colbert had paid audiences.

and hollywood...all we got out of that was poorly done remakes, porn and woke filth.

 

[Papageorgio]

We are going to enter a time of increased strikes. That's not a bad thing. Workers are starting to wake up.

What if they strike and no one cares? I can't think of one TV show or movie that I'll miss because of the strike.

 

[Blaster]

All three of them sound alike. More people are watching Greg Gutfeld.

The people who make money off the writers and actors probably care, but for most of us I think the concerns of ordinary life are more important
