Proportionate.
He gave his opinion, didn't mention you at all, and then you blew up with some extremely condescending comments toward him. The fact you are now complaining about condescension is one of the most laughable displays of lack of self-awareness I've seen on TA. Friggin hilarious.
just for my peace of mind in the hopes this film doesn't suck because of this…..since the actors are striking now is there a chance they aren't done filming and reynolds will get back in front of the camera?Red Five said:
It's even stupider than that. Ryan Reynolds wasn't going to be allowed to improvise dialogue during the filming of Deadpool 3 due to the strike banning alterations to scripts. Which means he wasn't allowed to speak words that were never actually written.

Good news is, they weren't even halfway done filming before production had to shut down. And because Reynolds' quips are mostly from behind a mask, most of that dialogue can be recorded post-strike, even if the footage was shot pre-strike. So I wouldn't be too worried. The only real negative is that the movie almost assuredly won't make its May 2024 release date now, and will likely get pushed back to later in the year.
don't care how far back it gets pushed just make the best film that you can.TCTTS said:jokershady said:just for my peace of mind in the hopes this film doesn't suck because of this…..since the actors are striking now is there a chance they aren't done filming and reynolds will get back in front of the camera?Red Five said:

Do y'all remember the scene in City Slickers where Billy Crystal is endlessly explaining how to program VCRs to Daniel Stern, and Bruno Kirby loses it and starts yelling?

Feels like we're finally/hopefully in the endgame…
A very unusual development illustrating how high the stakes are, Disney's Bob Iger, WBD's David Zaslav, Netflix Ted Sarandos & Universal's Donna Langley are all present at today's big AMPTP-WGA talks. Scoop via @katiekilkenny7 & @Snoodit https://t.co/b1WXEp3deA

After face to face meeting today, writers and producers near agreement to end WGA strike. Met today and hope to finalize deal tomorrow, according to people close to the negotiations, who, while optimistic, warn that without deal tomorrow strike likely continues through year end.

Hey boss, I want a $1,000,000 raise. The company's revenue is $500 million, so that's only 0.2% of the company's total - should be easy right? (this is the equivalent of the Netfilx number from the tweet)
Using percent of revenue is a ludicrous way to review the numbers. The bottom line is are you worth it? What is your replacement cost?
As in all aspects of life, there are lies, damn lies, and statistics.

Pure propaganda.
They also say they are overestimating effect on bottom line, but all their numbers reference top line.

TTTS are you familiar with Doug Ellin's new project with Charlie Sheen?
He was talking on his podcast yesterday about the fact with the strike they can't get the series purchased by anyone even though they have already filmed the pilot and everyone loves it.

Revenue is not profit. Companies will always look at the impact to profit not revenue. Using comparing the cost increase to revenue in this way is financially illiterate.tysker said:Tell me you're financially illiterate without telling me you're financially illiterate (*)Wrec86 Ag said:

Among many issues, it's totally laughable to use Apple and Amazon's total revenues as if they represent the income of their respective streaming businesses.

As an indicator of what a small percentage the writers are asking for relative to the value of these companies it's still an interesting data point.BenTheGoodAg said:LOL. This was posted early in this thread. Still hilariously bad.fig96 said:

It is fair and accurate relative to the value of those business units? Not likely, but guess what? It's marketing/propaganda, it only has to kinda tell the truth.

In my admittedly very limited experience in funding entertainment projects, this suggests the staff did very well

I think it's propaganda that actually hurts their cause. Including Apple and Amazon's total revenue is stupid as the average person knows they get all their money from things totally unrelated to Hollywood. Including that data makes it clear that the person is trying to be manipulative. They should have just focused on the legacy studios and their point might have hit harder.

This makes no sense to me. If they are really are close, why would there be a deadline or else it goes to the end of the year? Just keeping working until they reach agreement.

Great example. I ask bc I've hit my bonus the last couple of years even while I know we're not doing all that well. I'm just glad I'm high enough on the food chain to hit the bonuses thanks to creative corp accounting.
