Anybody surprised the actors strike is still going on?

[mommas homeboy]

This is pretty crazy. This may actually go all the way until 2024. Is it safe to say that even when Hollywood does get back to work, conditions will be far worse for actors than they were like 10 years ago?

My girlfriend works in animation.

She's much nicer when she's not working, so keep on striking people!

I thought it was over. lol

 

[yamahacrasher]

No.

I thought it was over. lol

That was for writers

 

[Cherry Brigand]

There's an actors strike?

 

[Osculater]

Hollywood should hire illegal immigrant actors

Yet the world still turns...

I thought the actors strike was because of the writers strike. They were supporting them by going on strike as well. But I guess it separate after all.

That’s the craziest part. Life goes on even with Hollywood shuts down. If I weren’t living through it, I’d never believe it possible.

Separate unions but yeah they have the same issues with the studios

That’s what will happen. They’ll just say “Fuck it…we’ll just train illegals to act and use AI to convert their accents into what we need.” That’d be the smart move. Would save a shitload of money too.

I was thinking the same thing they can also dub over the voices

If this doesn't get settled in the actor's favor we are in for a future of completely AI generated imagery in films. Nothing but 90 minute video game cut scenes.

Isn't it one of those end of days prophecies?

'The moon shall turn the colour of blood. Locusts shall blacken out the sun And the actors shall pretendeth not'.

We should have changed the door lock while they was out

I thought it was over. lol

So did I. Did they just win some concessions in negotiations or something? Because I saw some reporting on what the actors won.

Who was it again that is president of the SAG?

 

[gonads20]

Hollywood has made people weird. I hope they stay on strike for a while. Society needs less hollywood.

Actors go on strike and world doesn't notice, the humble truck driver goes on strike and the world goes to shit
