Sounds like all the writer and actor strikes are going to last absolutely forever until they suddenly don't. The streamers and studios have truly disappeared far, far up their own assholes and haven't yet realized that when it comes to entertainment, AIs are just lovely chatbots or 14-fingered monster creation engines. The current path probably leads to the streamers/studios going broke. Not because they'd prefer it to a deal, but because they're just that stupid. At least employment is low so writers and low-level actors can at least have some kind of work available, lovely as it is.

My edgelord opinion is that RP1 is a solid movie and so is the accompanying song by Gunship Also my head canon has it in the same universe as Idiocracy

Gunship songs are inherently good. RP1 is inherently bad. The world was only saved by gunship yet again

If the message of RP1 was "everything you have ever loved is a commodity and has always been that way" it would have been a great movie. Well, that *was* the message, but not deliberately so.

I enjoyed reading RP1, but Armada was straight-up garbage. Also, Matt Gaetz is being investigated again. https://www.cnn.com/2023/07/13/politics/matt-gaetz-house-ethics-committee-investigation/index.html

The worst thing about Cline's garbage is they're not even good misogynistic fairy tales. Like the James Bond franchise can be fairly described as a colonialist, regressive white male fantasy but it's still drat good entertainment.

RP1 was a garbage book and a garbage movie. It was nothing but attempts at pop culture relevance and nostalgia baiting for a story that was weakly put together for that sole purpose. If you remove all the references, or replace them with generic stand ins, and it's just a shittier version of every other young adult book.

I've said before that when I run the world, those caught maximizing shareholder value shall be punished by death. https://twitter.com/LiamTCrowley/status/1679578535432781827?t=I4DY-L5xtpybPGe9KBA15g&s=19 quote:"This 'groundbreaking' AI proposal that they gave us yesterday: they propose that our background performers should be able to be scanned, get paid for one day's pay, and their company should own that scan their image, their likeness and should be able to use it for the rest of eternity in any project they want with no consent and no compensation," Crabtree-Ireland revealed at the press conference. "So if you think that's a groundbreaking proposal, I suggest you think again." Starting to think that anyone with "executive" or "CEO" in their title shall serve a prison sentence commiserate with their executive time. Sure, you can be President of the United States and chief executive - but enjoy your term-length prison sentence once you're done! https://twitter.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1679574888233705474?t=P0MDyT3qh5uJY_1uC89NfQ&s=19

Interesting.

I should note that the reboots got really bad after the last strike in... 2008? I think? Remember the studios weren't getting new IPs so they had to rely on ones they already owned. Now last time the actors guild still played ball so that is different this time at least. I am especially salty about all the MCU stuff because I actually read comics back in the day when none of the culture was deemed "cool." gently caress the bandwagons gimme Danny Ketch Ghost Rider.

Not arguing against your point, it's just that we're collectively complicit if we fund our retirement with market/index funds that include Disney and these other corps eking out the small bits of profit so number goes up Executive bonuses are pretty excessive though

Yeah especially with the studios somehow thinking their deaging tech works or is a good idea. Irishman, Captain Marvel, Indiana Jones, all looked terrible & I can’t take their storytelling seriously. Especially when it’s done with a 70s something star who should be stepping aside with dignity for the next generation. Mandalorian was especially bad with CGI young Hamill. C’mon you got this big gap between 6 & 7 and could have Luke adventures so easily with a new actor. Wonder if Solo scared them off.
