Writers and Actors on Strike

Post by B »

Alright, now the actors are on strike, so this is serious. Should we have a place to discuss this stuff?
Everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here, now, thank you. How are you?

I suppose Visual Effects workers aren't unionized. We can just make them make movies with whatever scripts ChatGPT happens to write.

I guess that means Marvel will be fine.

I worry what this means for the next Mission Impossible.

Isn’t the current one out like a Part 1? Did they shoot them at the same time?

I looked it up, looks like they were still in the middle of filming—that ain’t good!

I wonder if things are different this time since the corporations are a lot more powerful than they were in the 80s. They can afford to starve them out.

Maybe they can rediscover their sense of childlike wonder and come together to make movie magic again.
