I don’t understand what you guys mean about quality will be going down now. Isn’t everything on pause after this? Actors can’t work on any new movie?

She can be my barbie

BOB IGER LASHINGS IM UP!

You know what, I never thought of it like this and you are right.

REAL CINEMA (Barbie) ALWAYS WINS.

Was mostly talking about releases this year, but like the first 3 months or whatever of 2024 are still safe ig

Lala Baptiste is too beautiful

Doubt it. March 2024 is supposed to be Beyond the Spider-Verse. If we thought that was delayed before, now it's really delayed lol

we’re finished

Someone educate me if im wrong. Yea $400 is crazy but the staffing on these shows and movies are hefty af. How would they pay them all living wages.

Also why do actors get compensated way way more than the writers that create the content

OFF WITH HEAD!

Lol we gon have non sag bet movies

These wealthy actors so happy to do nothing

Are all writers and actors part of these unions? If not, I wonder if any would even take part in writing and acting due to the backlash they might receive.

If I was up and coming I’d work till I got a guild invite. Not my fault y’all didn’t invite me

Actually, I'd argue this was perfect timing because they managed to get this s*** out before this all came crashing down

Well why would you employ that many people? Why would you try to create a show that expensive?

To answer your first question…. it’s reported that Bob Iger earns over $25 million a year, a lotttt of that money could be going to writers instead . If Disney can pay their execs several millions a year, they can absolutely afford to pay living wages for writers

And for your second question…the stars are the ones who sell the tickets, a movie with s***ty writing can still do decent numbers if it has popular stars in it.
I’m not saying it’s right, but it’s just the unfortunate truth tbh

You're right, I would completely take advantage of this situation too. F*** em. What if this strike ends up making some breakthrough movie/tv stars? That would actually be dope.

That’s a positive way of looking at it

Idk when the last time there was an actors strike. Agents probably now more than ever looking for new talent

Or we start seeing more musicians, Twitch streamers, and YouTubers in movies/shows

I mean shows/movies in general have really huge staff. So much s*** behind close doors that we don't know about. But for a MCU show I'm sure they had to go all out. It's was 6 30 min episodes too so not too crazy

Jon Voight and Michael Madsen are the two “big” names not in the SAG so that should give you an idea.

once the strike ends i think they wouldn’t be able to work on any union sets / productions
