My YouTube TV account has 22 seasons of Law and Order saved and with The Simpsons and South Park streaming I am good to go until Football Season.

Wonder how Tom Cruise feels about this? He was about to premiere his latest Mission Impossible movie and had a lot of press set up for interviews. He can't do that if they are on strike.
There have been at least four premieres already, I saw it Monday, and they had clips from the Rome, UK, and Abu Dhabi premieres, and the NYC premiere was also Monday (I saw it down the street)
Good movie.
This is good for the country. Hopefully the strike will last through the end of the century. Take out the trash.
The Film Actors Guild strikes again
The last big strike led to all the reality TV reality shows, now YouTube channels are getting huge. They are just shooting themselves in the foot.
Agree. And the AI stuff? They won't do that with the really big stars but much lesser known supporting casts? Why not?clobby said:

But once again, Disney is facing yet another headwind. Iger has said he is looking to sell ABC and FX as they are not "the core of Disney." A prolonged strike? What becomes of the value?
To fill the gap in content, Disney+ should go ahead and get season 4 of Bluey loaded up.

Yawn.
Today's "entertainment" is just a racier, politically correct version of entertainment from the 50s and 60s.

You'd think good writers could make more money not being in a union and a good writer would not ever need to go on strike since production companies would be throwing truckloads at them. This strike tells me most writers are terrible at their jobs. I don't need to mention the horrible quality of most things that come out of Hollywood.
the problem is unions stick with unions.BTKAG97 said:

yes, the studio can make movies without the unions, but members of those unions will not work with the studio in solidarity.
so use a non-union writer... actors refuse to work on project, same with directors, teamsters refuse to work in the background, etc.
the unions effectively prevent projects from moving forward.
it is a racket.
That might be true if there were that many good writers anymore.Quote:

There are not. Most are hacks. And part of that is because they write from they know. Had a deadbeat Dad? Han Solo and Luke Skywalker are now deadbeat Dads, and so on and so forth.
That's why when I see a series that has excellent writing, such as a Six Feet Under, Dexter, Billions, Breaking Bad and the like, they are captivating, engrossing.
No problem ... but it better not stop Oppenheimer from being in theaters next week
From what I understand, if it's finished, it's getting rolled out. Movies, TV shows, etc.
Wonder if DeadPool 3 made it through post production yet? Disney moved up the date for its release a few weeks ago, so principal photography was done. But editing and looping may not have been.An L of an Ag said:

They will do some deal that will resolve it - but going forward, slowly overtime, AI will chip away till few are left. Not sure on that timeline.

Yep, that one hurts.
Meh. Good actors would be much easier to replace than good writers.
Hurts Disney for sure.An L of an Ag said:aggiehawg said:OUCH!C@LAg said:no. it had only started filming on May 22/aggiehawg said:Wonder if DeadPool 3 made it through post production yet?

Apparently they weren't paying attention to Robert Iger today. Basically said linear channels are dying and wants to off load Disney's. Doesn't directly connect to streaming, but a lot of folks work for those channels.

I thought that was Munch from SVU.
Hollywood just sucks. Everything about it.
Between the stoppage in work because of all the covid crap and and now this i've never seen a group of people so stupid in my life.
even before this the lack of quality content in theaters was at an all time low with maybe 2 or 3 things showing that people would see. Now, again, there's going
to be nothing. People learned they can do without the theater experience during the covid nonsense and now they're just giving another reason to not come back.

So much drama!

Lol @ actor's realizing they have no job w/o writers, so they are now "supporting" the writers with their own strike.
Eh who cares, I'll just go torrent Max Headroom or something to watch instead of whatever's being put on hold.
um.. that is not what is happening.Premium said:

each guild has their own contracts with the studios.
all 3 were set to expire within months of each other. that is why the actors are striking now when the writers started 2 monts ago.
the diurector's guild got a contract they liked a few weeks ago, hence why they are not on strike as well.
Who's on CNN and Fox News then?
SAG-AFTRA news and broadcast members will not be on strike, as member reporters, anchors. hosts and producers work under individual station or network contracts, not the TV and theatrical agreement. For those broadcast and news members, the terms and conditions of their employment remain the same and are not affectedTyHolden said:

Perfectly fine with me...strike away!
I couldn't get around to watching the movie inventory on Netflix, Prime Video and TCM if I watched non-stop the rest of my life.

One of the craziest aspects of this negotiation revolves around AI use of actors. Basically, part of the studios' offer said that background actors could only be hired contingent upon them agreeing to do a AI scan. That scan could then replicate the actors and be used by the studios for eternity, lol.
Nobody is going to agree to that crap, Union or not.

As little sympathy as I have for modern actors, this seems like a legit issue.
