If you ask goons for relationship advice they just tell you to get a divorce (or that your spouse should divorce you) but I think that happens everywhere you ask for relationship advice online

my main takeaway from the actor money video is that capitalism is the most efficient possible system for making tv and movies, and that its good that we have a jobs program for people like agents, business managers, lawyers, publicists, and pr teams who cant do anything of value but still need to get some of the money so they can eat and pay rent

im actually inclined to agree with indigi on this because hollywood is structured really weird relative to other film markets in that theres very little interplay between film acting and other kinds of acting you dont generally see people jump between tv and stage and film productions and its a lot more common in other countries even netflix legitimizing the idea of big budget tv has had way more dramatic effects in other film markets rather than the american one after a certain point you gotta acknowledge that either the acting culture or agent culture is the main driver for this

indigi posted:actors in Hollywood don't really want to act, they mostly want to be famous. if you just want to act, like that's your chosen profession that you love as an art, you can make a living as an actor in way more places than LA (and NYC to a lesser extent). but that's pretty much the only place you can get rich and famous doing it (in English anyway) a lot of actors in LA like acting a lot & get to eat cereal for a commercial and say "honey I'm worried about your heart health did you know cheerios is now reccomended by 9 out of 10 doctors" or whatever and get $5000 for a day of work plus $17 for wearing their own clothes

Pepe Silvia Browne posted:I like how The Master ends with him turning Processing into like a fun party trick to do with his one night stands because it's the only way he doesn't know how else to process being psychologically abused for a couple years the screenplay of the master has some more scenes before he goes to England but it still is kinda a whiplash (the feeling not the movie) at the end. He rides the motorcycle and then later goes to england and finds out he's not loved by daddy and then he fucks some british lady. I agree the final scene is very good but the ending is not. If you remember, PSH's character's daughter wants to gently caress Freddie (main characteR) but her husband (malick) is kinda unaware and naive well they go to a strip club and he meets a nice stripper and then later at the theater she's there (but maybe it's a dream) and then he gets the dream phone call saying to go to england

I remember when I worked at a film lit agency our writers got absolutely destroyed with taxes on their writing gigs. Like yeah you might get six figures for a script but it got taxed like you made that much every six months, and those guys and gals could go years between jobs. Still probably better than writing books though, lol.

Fellatio del Toro posted:why would a script not get taxed like normal income? because sometimes they are sold and it's not work done for a wage. sometimes it is. the writers guild site can be kind of helpful. https://www.wga.org/members/employment-resources/writers-deal-hub/screen-compensation-guide the minimum basic agreement is where you'll find more details. there are different kinds of contracts/pay structures for different things like https://www.wga.org/contracts/contracts/other-contracts

When I come home from work she pulverizes my nards like Johnny Cage and when I try talking to her she spits in my face and tells me I ruined her life. We have three kids named Wimple, Hitler Jr, and Playstation 4 (she picked all the names). I love my wife and I want to make this work but I am somewhat concerned by her behavior. What should I do?"
