Deal soon?

That would be crazy if it happens soon. Wonder if they’ll get most of what they want.

I’m guessing this was filmed before the strike.

Very likely. A lot of her interviews were clearly before the strike based on the way she spoke about the DCEU and things that have changed since then

Apparently this is some bullshyt. nikka got divorced 2-3 months ago and that's probably why he had to sell his house and funds low. Dirty ass game to blame this on the strike

Disney fukking people over? You don't say......

All the kid actors from their Disney Channel shows coming out of the woodwork basically saying that they were

This is my opinion. Dont get offended. And lemme say i dont agree with everything thats happening. The digital scanning shyt crazy for example…

My dad was in a construction union in nyc. Picketed, fought on the line and everything. These pampered fukks are crying cause they took away their shade and sidewalks. They aint about nothing.

i dont feel bad for THESE people even a little.


one writer crying he made 40k for one ep of tv one year and 10k the next. A whole ep of tv huh. Extras making 300 a day to stand around huh. You know how hard u gotta work to make 300 a day in REAL life and not hollywoodland?

Meanwhile theres people literally breaking their bodies to do work they are way more underpaid for, but because they just construction/specialized workers they gotta work 10x as hard for 10x less the money; because theyll just bring in some immigrants or scabs.

Sorry i dont feel bad. Its the entertainment industry. Their prolly aint a cushier one. The essencenof the industry is gambling. So gamble. Theirs no guarantees. Its opinion based. Can you guarantee your show or movie gon make money? No. But a real union worker can guarantee their work. The building will stand. The car will work.

I believe in unions for backbreaking/mindbending work, not writing and acting. Sorry if this offends anyone but its how i feel. Actors always been on some commie me me me shyt while being spoiled by their industry making a shyt ton of money.

With the advent of online personalities, and scriptless content and AI, i would not get my hopes up. Its reality check time.

They coming after the game industry

Edit: Added context from Era

Super interesting this is happening. For context, Genshin Impact made by MiHoYo has been using non-union actors for the game, and they also don't pay their talent in timely manner. I hope this will be the time for SAG and the WGA to take a more direct interest in video game production. For instance, Rockstar Games doesn't really believe in residuals for actors, and Michael Hollic -- the actor behind Niko from GTA IV --- called them out about it and was subsequently blackballed by Rockstar and other game makers. Capcom also really likes to use non-union actors for their games as well. RE2 Remake is their best selling RE game ever, and the acting talent in that game got paid fairly small for their efforts.
