Wait, Dan Schneider is actually involved in Good Burger 2? After Nickelodeon swore there was nothing more to firing the guy that’s made them hundreds of millions over the years right in the middle of #MeToo? The guy that was mentioned over and over in Jennette McCurdy’s book?

But then again, Nickelodeon rehired someone that was caught on To Catch a Predator, so I’m not entirely surprised.

Which is in my post.

EDIT: The guy I was referring to is Justin Smith. He’s an editor that was caught and featured on To Catch a Predator in 2006, fired from Nickelodeon in 2007, and then rehired in 2019 to work on SpongeBob.

Max (the new combo app from HBOMax/Discovery+) lumped writers and directors as "creators", everyone got mad (especially striking unions), and now they are backtracking and throwing their tech people under the bus. Also I've heard the new app is awful and crashes constantly.

quote:

Warner Bros. Discovery’s newly launched Max lumped film directors and writers under a single “creators” heading — a change that prompted a backlash from filmmakers and Hollywood’s directors and writers guilds. Now the company says it is reverting the listings back to how they were presented on HBO Max, blaming the issue on a technical “oversight.”

“We agree that the talent behind the content on Max deserve their work to be properly recognized,” a Max spokesperson said in a statement to Variety. “We will correct the credits, which were altered due to an oversight in the technical transition from HBO Max to Max and we apologize for this mistake.”

Barbie would be so much more interesting to me if it were just a straightforward rom-com with a strong aesthetic instead of this grand thesis statement about the brand itself.

The reference point should have been The Young Girls of Rochefort, not The Lego Movie.

I don't think a union is going to fix the problem with FX. A bunch of different countries/states/regions all competing with each other with tax credits means that hollywood will just move on to the next place if a union is formed. Unions and strikes are going to do jack poo poo if the entire work force is regularly fired anyways and there is no interest in sticking to one place or even the same country.

I believe SAG and possibly also the DGA have contracts running out in June, so at the very least SAG wants to go to the negotiating table with a preemptive strike vote already done.

Eh supposedly they split up in 2016 so she may not have been a COVID denier, she was just briefly (fake) married to a guy who's the kind of dipshit to pretend he invented email and also deny COVID.

The Hollywood SAG actors I know are 5/5 for vaccine skeptism, 2 of them pretty seriously. You may want to consider that some of this poo poo is definitely Hollywood sub-culture.

Flying Zamboni

but, uh... well, there it is

I just assume that all actors believe stupid/insane things then I can be pleasantly surprised if one of them says something reasonable.

COVID and vaccine denialism are comparatively dull as far as celebrity beliefs go. Terrence Howard, for example, believes that he's invented his own version of mathematics that has disproven gravity.

Hollywood actors are a population of dopes that collectively have a large audience. If you're selling BS, you want to aggressively target them because they're a powerful vector to getting at more people.

I'm sure part of it is also that COVID just really fucks up working in Hollywood, or even just the image of working in Hollywood. How are you supposed to give your contacts/friends a peck on the cheek with something like COVID around? The peck on the cheek is vitally important for networking and socializing and whatnot, so surely whatever keeps me from doing it can't be real.
