I read an interesting observation that the execs aren't hip to the fact that thanks to Twitter how much of the revolution has been televised and people see writers and assorted creatives as peoples, if nothing else to see how they dunk on the higher ups.

It's amazing (except it's not) that of all the execs in the streaming industry Netflix's think they deserve even more money. Because of their rich history of recent successes.

I think my 93 year old grandmother still receives some of it, or got a payout when he died? He always said they took care of them. I'm also given to understand that a lot more folks are organized under the Teamsters than most folks realize. Maybe even execs.

I dunno, I genuinely think the studios - along with all companies, basically - have shot themselves in the foot with training shareholders to only expect exponential growth.

From Twitter: "TIL that when SAG went on strike in 1960, the writers had already been on strike for five weeks and the studios brought in a federal mediator to find resolution. Their main issue was residuals and a lack of transparency on the 12-year-old "new medium" of broadcasting." Hmmm. You know? Hmmm.

I'd recommend the book they got a lot of it from, Ringmaster by Abraham Josephine Riesman. Learn such amazing tidbits as how Vince for years has bragged him and his friends would regularly beat up Marines and this is extremely untrue!

Edward Mass posted:The 'winning play', as it were, is for the studios to run out of new content. Without new content, people will slowly tune out and you anger the 800 lb. gorilla in the room named advertising. Some folks have commented that given how razor thin the margins are the studios can't afford a bad quarter but are counting on the unions folding before they're given a bad quarter.

Macdeo Lurjtux posted:And none of this is new. One of the classic examples is Sergeant Slaughter. He built his entire persona on rah rah Marine/American exceptionalism, enough so that Hasbro hired him to be an actual member of the GI joe cartoon/action figures and to be the live action face of it. What's funny is of course Sarge didn't serve a single day of active duty so it's basically all, I believe the term is, stolen valor. He even gets twitchy if somebody uses his finishing move the Cobra Clutch and so does his daughter who isn't even a wrestler but is trying to be a Media Personality.

DarklyDreaming posted:2- Even with glowing interviews by mainstream entertainment news sources, most studio execs are coming across as loving vampires to the average person I've seen it said some places that executives aren't used to this sort of thing being so public and they were sort of vaguely counting on societal pressure to get those greedy writers and artists back to work and that's just not happening to any great extent.

Narcissus1916 posted:His pissy attitude reminds me a lot of film directors during the pandemic. Multiple big names went on the record that watching a movie at home would taint or somehow ruin their art. There was a loving pandemic that forced cities to create makeshift morgues. Sorry that seeing Wonder Woman 1984 at a "proper" venue wasn't high on my list. When I went to see D&D in the theaters, they had this little thing at the beginning where Chris Pine told me that they may fight a lot of monsters and Red Wizards of Thay but me, in the theater, I was the REAL hero for seeing a movie the way it was meant to be seen. Most of the cast had the good decency to look vaguely embarrassed. nine-gear crow posted:I'm surprised there haven't been more Amells so far. There's a lot of lovely people with big egos in Hollywood who are addicted to attention. You'd think a SAG-AFTRA strike would be rife with folks looking to scab out because they just can't loving help it, but the solidarity so far has been extremely impressive. Wasn't it kind of up in the air if Fran Drescher herself would go for the strike at first?

Although I imagine he's not going to be invited back for any more movie cameos any time soon. According to Beast comma Mister, this was something he got that contract for being an influencer and thus has an exception or somesuch. I'm not even saying he's lying or anything, it's just out of my wheelhouse to explain.

Older network shows move from platform to platform, Netflix notoriously cancels their own shows no matter how passionate the fans are.

nine-gear crow posted:It's still kind of wild that the live action Cowboy Bebop went form apparently breaking all sorts of viewership records for Netflix and debuting in their #1 slot to "Yeah, we just cancelled it. Goodbye." in practically a single week. And that was irrespective of whatever terrible quality it might have had or the shitstorm around it during its debut from anime fans and chuds alike (though I repeat myself). Yeah, I used to think it was the budget that torpedoed a show and I guess it might still be but who honestly knows? That Gabriel Iglesias show couldn't have had a huge budget and it got the axe and people seemed to like it in that generically inoffensive sitcom sort of way.
