Sorry I’m not up to date on all this.

What is the strike about?

The woke stuff or they just want more money?

2 pages without this? Fail





The guy who was paid to "act" like an over aggressive douchebag, turned out to be an over aggressive douche who threatens people?

Spoiler alert 90% of Hollywood can't act. They are people cast to play versions of themselves in different settings. They are easily replaced, and they know it. Everyone knows it. That's why they all took the Weinstein wiener.

There are lots of jobs for truck drivers and construction. None are as easy as being a union driver on a movie set.

Money. But not as simple as “pay us more money.”

One example is…

When we do marvel shows they bring these big ~15’x25’ trailers that are for scanning actors. So studios want to pay certain actors to come in and get scanned and maybe shoot one scene. And then the studios can use their scanned image to basically re-create that actor and put them in any scene they want. Do face swaps with cheaper body doubles. And only pay that actor for one day of work, but put them in the whole movie.

Let them eat cake

He is an asshole who was terrible in Sons of Anarchy.

Ben Shapiro is an election denier and talks in an annoying manner.  Plus he reportedly cannot please a woman.

No acting bs...in real life Pearlman is a short asshole of the highest order.

Ahh okay I gotcha. Thanks.

La Blanca and the EDI gang.

Unskilled labor is finding out that automation going to replace them.

lol...

I hope everyone involved in this dispute loses

I’m not 100% sure how long the WGA & SAG contracts are. But my union contract is good for 3 years then they go back to the table.

I’m not sure what is going to happen with these strikes. The studios have been ready for this and knew it was going to happen. There has been basically nothing shooting this entire year, on purpose to wear people down financially. I was lucky enough to work january-june without stopping on a show. But I know people who havnt even worked a full week this year. But now nothing is shooting at all.

The studios won’t even go to the table with the writers because they need the 90 day mark to hit so they can fire all of their full-time contracted writers without penalty. The 90 mark for the writers is july 30th. Then I’m hoping they’ll actually go to the table and make a deal.

I’m not sure what’ll happen with SAG since they just went on strike the other day. But I do know SAG and the producers were actively trying to make a deal.

I have a show lined up and ready to go, just can’t shoot until this gangbang is over.

I got suspended from Twitter with a reply to the shitbag stating that Katey should have reprised her SoA role in real life and beat his ass senseless.

Apparently, Tough Guy ain't so much. He went crying to the moderators.

That's the sort of thing some people were claiming was going to be happening after 'The Last Starfighter' came out.

A few years earlier, it was a big part of the plot of 'Looker'.

But both of those came out when it was easy to find a new movie worth going to see.

Striking right as your industry is starting to realize what AI can and will do.  lol, that’s brilliant.

Make it less desirable for the studios to employ and watch what happens.

My Mom watches The View () and Poopie was whining that they don't have writers to write their show because of the strike. Lol, I thought they wrote their own brand of socialism. It proves they're just puppets. I thought they were all comedians and intelligent women.

Who is that  I have no idea  my entertainment TV consist of reruns  in the last 5 years I've seen ozark ,black sails,game of thrones, deadwood, and a few more series  big bang theory and friends forensic files and first 48 those are the only actors I know I do still suffer through the walking dead tho  and freddy's mine rescue  I m trying to watch more but everything sucks  strike on mfkrs

So instead of a group of intelligent women sitting around a table discussing matters important to them, she's saying it's a group of actresses sitting around a table saying scripted lines to influence how the public views current topics?

So, they should just take it in the ass?

Why don't they just learn to code?

Missed a decimal; EW is 0.01% native American.

Genetic testing showed she is 1/1024th Indian which is half as Indian as the average American who has 1/512th Indian DNA.

EW is less Indian that most Americans. In other words, she is just another lying liberal cunt.



His best scene in that movie is his last scene. Knowing what he is in real life, that is the only scene of his that I like.





It looks like he has already self-medicated.

Fair point.  

In Hollywood land, make-believers are more important than plumbers, electricians, machinists, welders, and businessmen.

Yea, and if you get a good visual effects team, you can’t tell the difference. We would be doing body double stunt work and if we would accidentally see the stunt persons face, the VFX superviser would just say “Don’t worry about it, we’ll face swap it.”

"Hollywood" is kind of a generalization for the movie and TV production industry, the "entertainment" side as opposed to news, sports.  The industry is segmented out some, the studio owners/producers, they "own" the production facilities, gather the money to pay for projects, hopefully fund the right things and make money when the products are shown, distributed, rented to viewers.  They're on top, they "hire" everything out/up to create the broadcast products. They have an industry group that's pooled together for bargaining purposes with the "unions" and "guilds."  On the workers side, the "writers," directors, actors and a wide range of crafts are also organized. For the usual labor/management reasons.  These various groups have contracts and they expire, just like other industries.  

In the past, it was very labor intensive, and delivery of product was controllable enough that (creative accounting and abusive contracts aside), participants were paid for their work, and if broadcast repeatedly, residuals got paid.  While movies might be a big one time job, tv shows were weekly, etc., and production kept up with the presentation schedules, shows had their crews even if shows came and went.  "Writers" put words in the actors' mouths and general story line directions.  "Actors" acted.  Now, we can push a few buttons and get direct delivery of everything in the on-line "libraries" at very little cost.  And what been kind of a work once, get paid once - and residualized  (rather recent), get showed only through controlled (and counted) broadcast or theater screenings has become a free for all and the basis for figuring what might be an appropriate "pay" to the workers has just blown up.

Writers went on strike not too long ago and now SAG/AFTRA (actors) are on strike now.  This will stop the production of much new material (of the traditional sort).   And at the end of the process, we as consumers have massive inexpensive, if not "free" alternatives.  So the "producers" are dealing with future sales/funding flows and the potential that some AI geniuses/entrepreneurs will make it good enough that couch potatoes can ask for and get AI generated "movies" directly.  Writers and actors see their jobs evaporating, too.

As an aside, trickle down in "Hollywood," when production stops all the side work stops, too.  Caterers, set construction, drivers, rentals, electricians, post production editing, color and sound, tourism - to see live show filming, and like any "company town," any job depending on the other workers gets squeezed, too.  Cleaners, restaurants.  L.A. is big, diverse, so not like if in a steel or logging town, the "mill" shut down, or the Army base is closed.  But there will be plenty of people who aren't producers, writers or actors impacted.

He just said good bye to his career. Oh well  

She has really nice tits though...................................    

I look forward to the day I can subscribe to an AI/CG service that monthly can crank out:

New episodes of Rockford - with John Wayne or Bruce Willis in the lead role.

Pulp Fiction, but starring the Banana Split Bunch.

Two Broke Girls, starring Lucille Ball and Carol Burnette.

Learn to code?

Adjust to changes in the industry, just like most productive workers have to do at some point in their career.

My first go to for entertainment and joy, as she put it, is books. Radio is next, followed distantly by people who lie for a living.

Her voice is like nails on a blackboard for just about anybody not from that area.

Perlman is slowly beginning to resemble his character from the show where he lived in the NYC sewers.

I’m going against the grind here and saying if someone did say let them lose essentially everything then I’m not mad. Let them fight. I read somewhere that studios want actors to sign over their likeness for AI indefinitely. If true that’s pretty fucked up. Having said that, let them fight.

Why do people think what that talentless hack thinks? Just because he was on SOA means he’s a big shot?

When syndicated reruns first started, actors' contracts hadn't included clauses to pay them anything for the reruns.  They got paid to make the original episodes, then the owners of the shows raked in the money from the reruns.

How is this any different from that change?

Learn to code.

I dont care.

You work for an industry that is hard left, and has been driving their narrative into the ground to the point of practical civil war. These same industries cheered when it was the small mom and pops were put out of business during covid tyranny.. these same industries supported and called for people to lose their jobs, their homes, be put into camps... on and on. These same people.. this industry.. supported every pedo politician and studio head... they supported the vax... on and on and on.

So if that industry goes on strike... strike... and refuses to work until other people in the industry agree to their terms, then no fucks given if they all crash and burn.

If that hurts someone who is not left wing, sorry... but take your skills and go elsewhere. Support an industry with you labor that will support you back. Artists.. set design.. tech jobs.. drivers.. all of them are jobs that easily translate into other industries. Or start your own thing.

So, just take it in the ass.

People have the right to push back against corporations.

For example, studios wanting to use your likeness in multiple movies without consent and proper compensation deserves pushback.

And, people pushed back. For example...

Because you can create something new using me without my say? And, reap the rewards without me seeing a dime. If you want to use my likeness, fuck you, pay me. Also, what if you use my likeness to make AI porn? Or something I disagree with? This quite different and easy…

Keanu Reeves has a clause in his contract when he does a job that they can’t alter his performance/likeness at all. I’m not sure what the movie was but they added a tear rolling down his face in post production. Now actors are getting fed up with stuff like that.

Maybe some of the far left affected can go fight Putin.  That little flag on your social media account is fine but its time to walk the walk bitchez!

Or better yet, crossing my fingers that pedo Joe brings back the draft.  Blue haired obese women, trannys, hood rats and unemployed Hollywood types can get to play with cluster bombs.  Hilarity ensues.  Live stream it and profit.  Hell, I havent had tv in almost 2 decades and watched only a handful of awful movies in that time but I'd gladly pay to watch that.

I’ll never fully understand that mindset. “I can do this one single thing and when it’s threatened, instead of pivoting to an adjacent thing to do using those skills, I’m gonna stomp around and complain and make threats.”

If somebody moves your cheese, go get some more or some different cheese. Lazy fucks.

Hollywood Leftist Moron Pearlman's Thought Process

They would be stupid to handicap themselves.

The writers are metaphorically throwing their shoes into the machinery.

Someone tell me why we need them anyway? They're out of ideas, everything is a fucking reboot or a sequel anyway.

Hell, Cocaine Bear was the last movie that was ALMOST original.
