If I was in charge of a studio I would be COOL!!! 1st thing i would do is say "Who would like to be an ACTOR?". And the 2nd thing would be to yell "Who would like to be a Movie/series writer!" NO MORE PROBLEMS, BY UNION………
I support the SAG-AFTRA actors who are on strike everybody deserves to have a chance too make a living while doing what they love.
Although I didn't buy into it, I did read all the Q messages (aka Q drops) out of pure curiosity as they were coming out back a few years ago. I will say this, the Q character did say that a bunch of well-known Hollywood people were going down for serious crimes via private military tribunals and that, in the process, they will try to hide it the best they can but it won't be enough. Who knows though, the world is confusing.
I suspect there is more to the story. Like, the elite Hollywood creeps may be paying the piper and, therefore, unavailable for public appearances while the rest of the B-listers are being called up to "strike" as an excuse as to why they are all publicly unavailable.
Stay strong brothers and sisters!
SAG threw writers under the BUS after they thought they would get a contract as easy as the DGA did…when that didnt happen NOW you hear Frannies whinny nanny voice! Us writers have been striking weeks and didnt hear much form Sag with actors continuing to cross our picket lines! Thats how all this happened..
They should've taken their own advice. #LearnToCode 🤷🏽♂️
They haven't written anything good in decades.
This is all kayfabe to try and get average people to be interested in their rad-left sewage again after deliberately alienating about 25-40% of their audience with their sub-par products and their smug media interviews the last 7 years. Everyone is bleeding cash and Blackrock/VanGuard can only provide lines of credit for so long before real, actual money has to be made.
Once they realize most of the population doesn't actually give a rip how long the strikes go on, the studios and the guilds will figure something out, because no one is making money if no one is actually making product to consooooooooome, even if that product is a turd sandwich that they say is actually the finest roast beef.
Teamsters will be joining the writers and actors on strike soon. It’s time for labor to fight back. Teamster local 952 representing.
Actually…its pronounced Ock-tors ppphhhfffrrrttt
So AMPTP is basically saying “let us continue making millions and billions from you’re hard work and we’ll continue paying you garbage. How dare you be ungrateful for the crumbs we’re tossing you from our yachts and summer homes. Please be homeless while writing and acting in the sequel we’re sure the shareholders will love but not the audience.”
Wishing the best of luck to all the actors and writers.
What are you protesting? (Yourselves.. and your own created -out of touch fishbowl )
Well at least the little kids on those Private islands in the Bahamas are getting a break!
Overpaid, overrated, and overhyped. Actors.
Maybe greedy cunning 🤑"nice guy" Bob Iger can have his next memoir reflect on his relationship with Hollywood's writers and actors; and title it TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE. 😆🙃😨
When you are a rich spoiled Hollywood elite you can afford a week without working
AI will make them unemployed
You tube stars must launch fundraising videos for SAG AFTRA & Writers guild of America. We urge SAG AFTRA and writers guild of America to launch Fundraising campaign website. And let's end Writers strike.
Why are they just walking around in a circle? How does that help their situation?
Complete automation begins here.
Men are struggling. I’m a woman and a bunch of men took off with my stuff. I have five degrees. I’m moving on.
I was at a retirement seminar and the speaker spoke on how he quit his job after he made well over $950,000 PROFIT within 3months he invested $120,000. I need guidance on what investments to make.🚀🚀🚀.
We need Trump
I think big black men may be imitating my kid and saying sorry. I hope not! Legal consequences if so.
Some of those people are just random nobodies. I don't see any Movie Stars that I'm familiar with.
Get a job building prisons or picking up the needles and crap on the sidewalks. Shoplifting is legal they can make a Fortune
Who's going to produce the woketard garbage.
Imagine if your dentist charges you residuals for everytime you smiled since technically his work is being put on display for everyone to see… how egotistical that would be! What about all the actors on the pron hub that gets more views than anything?
Great, no more Spiderman vs Godzilla?
Big movie stars wanting a livable wage! 😂😂😂 sorry that your mansion isn’t big enough mark ruffalo
I can do without family guy. But the boyz I need that.
This sucks because I just started striking against strikes the day before this strike striked.
Looks like we will get a break from crappy shows and movies. Maybe read a book or go outside.
I couldn’t care less about this strike. Hollywood has been corrupt, depraved, and pushing agendas for decades now. That whole industry needs to collapse. It’s not good for society.
LOL 😂, there's enough TV shows and movies that we don't need them. Nothing better than watching old B+ W movies and TV shows. Where women can be fully dressed but still arouse you without being half naked like they have been pumping out for years.
Probably a good time to get some autographs. Throw them some cash.
