Appreciate the Late Night hosts stopping their shows in support. That's good poo poo right there. I hope they get everything they're demanding. In fact, I hope they get more.

HBO Go was a slam dunk and I feel line Zaslev should be dragged to court for corporate sabotage at this point.

Justin Credible posted:Worth noting as well this garbage show that's likely used for corporate financial fuckery is conveniently named the same as a big financial player that had shady rear end and likely illegal stuff going on with Bezos/Amazon. Some show about nebulous shady stuff and crimes and all that.Now what happens when you search for Citadel Amazon etc? That's actually kind of genius. I don't like it, but it's genius

Posted this in one of the animation threads but the Disney Animation guild is collecting signatures to try and get Disney to the negotiating table if anyone wants to throw their names in there.

Honestly, this is amazing to hear. Seconding the disappointment in the Director's Guild, but I think both the Actors and Writers striking at the same time could do some real damage

UltraShame posted:It's really rad that when repeatedly sued for non-payment (and losing), the studios have the God-given ability to say to a judge: "oh no thank you, we would rather not disclose how we do the 'math' that lets us claim that we lost a quarter billion dollars on something that cost us a tenth of that. Dollars to donuts the whole thing is going to be basically Pivot To Video part deux.

I think we're about to find out which.

Pinterest Mom posted:I'm quite fond of being able to watch a television program at a time that's different from when it airs. Honestly, I was pretty happy with stuff like Comcast On Demand. Usually newest episodes were up within a couple of days and Funimation had it's own channel and showed a bunch of anime that wasn't on regular tv. That rocked.

All current A24 productions are strike complaint. Remember, Disney and MAX can't comply with Union demands because it's too expensive A24, a studio that only produces niche indie films:  https://www.polygon.com/23800547/sag-actors-strike-the-chosen-a24-approved-filming

More millionaires need to bolster the strike fund because the Teamsters' massive strike fund probably helped with their work stoppage threat and they just won the UPS fight Also, more of this energy please https://twitter.com/Todd_Spence/status/1683945168498749445?s=20

Social media is definitely helping, too. People involved with/are knowledgeable about the strike are able to talk directly and honestly to sometimes millions of people at once. We had the internet in 2008 but it was so different and more centralized now than how it was back then. People aren't on several different weird off-shoot social media sites and message boards, they're all on the same 5 or 6 sites: Twitter, Youtube, TikTok, Reddit and Facebook.

I'm super happy to hear this for SAG but I also hope the same love is shown to the WGA fund as well. Last I heard they were hurting for donations C'mon Stephen King, we know you can personally bankroll this strike for years.

Argyle posted:The general public is also very aware of the ever-changing and increasingly lovely streaming landscape, and how the streaming business model is affecting their viewing habits. Older network shows move from platform to platform, Netflix notoriously cancels their own shows no matter how passionate the fans are. The fans of that show, Shadow and Bone are so desperate for this show not to get cancelled that fans will just play the show continuously in the background during the day so that the metrics don't drop. It's insane but what else are people supposed to do? It's not like Netflix has ever made it clear what it is that makes show successful and certainly aren't willing to let shows find their footing before shitcanning it. How do you invest money in to a product and not even give people the chance to find it?

Teek posted:From what I understand for why high viewership new shows still get cancelled, it’s usually because watchers don’t actually finish the shows. Meaning those viewers watch the first few episodes and then bail for whatever reason. So that means they can’t be counted on to be there for a season 2. So while show X may have amazing numbers, not enough are even bothering to watch through to the end. Then why brag about viewership numbers in the first place if it doesn't matter?

I'm still really soured on Bojack's final season getting cut short. Its ending was good but you could tell they had to work around not getting an actual final 7th season, but instead some weird, longer 6th season that was split in to two parts. Honestly, I'm kind of shocked Bojack lasted as long as it did. Seems like a show that would have been cancelled too soon
