Seems like nobody gives a sh!t lol.
What is it that they’re asking for? They want royalties? Or some sh!t about the extras don’t wanna sign themselves away in perpetuity for AI to re-use their faces in other movies, idk.
Are they all gonna be unemployed?

They feel they are not paid enough and are also concerned about A/I taking their jobs away.

Does this mean there are no film productions happening right now outside of indie films?

I think fans should strike over lack of good movies/shows over the last ten years, I actually think the only actor that should be allowed to make movies right now is Tom Cruise, I think he should star in every movie.
Bodybuilding is a lifetime journey, anytime spent not bulking or cutting is a waste of time.

I could not give a flying Phuck about their demands or what they want since 99% of the content they put out is propagandist ****e.
Hopefully this strike will go on long enough to wipe out a few of the worst offending shows that should have been off air years ago.
In the meantime we have decades of classic movies and shows, live sport, youtube, foreign stuff like Japanese and k drama and vidya games and books.
Nobody with a brain is missing 2023 Hollywood productions, in fact I hope this strike goes on for YEARS.

I really don't have it in me to care whatsoever. 95% of what Hollywood/the entertainment industry in general has churned out over the past 20+ years has been such utter trash that it might as well be robots writing the concepts/scripts behind it all.

You should be happy about the hollywood writers strike.
These people are the ones responsible for most of Clown World. Notice how Clown World seems to have mostly gone away since this strike started?

Fuk those commie groomers. AI will replace their useless asses and nobody gives a chit about their strike. Remember when actors went on strike over a decade ago and hollywood just pushed reality tv into the faces of the stupid masses?

and you can mock them all you want because they're just actors, but they're still doing a "job" Its the equivalent of a restaurant offering a $3/hr minimum wage, but they don't get to keep the money from tips.

If it was still in the shooting stages it would probably be shelved for the forseeable future because Cruz would refuse to work as he is also on the side of the Actors.I think fans should strike over lack of good movies/shows over the last ten years, I actually think the only actor that should be allowed to make movies right now is Tom Cruise, I think he should star in every movie.
We've got until about February or March of next year when hollywood starts running out of new series and movies to release.

an engineer doesn't make money everytime someone walks into a building because their face or their performance of making the building isn't what is being sold unlike an actor.

It works supposedly like software. You write the program once, but get paid everytime someone buys it.
You write or act in a film once, but every time it is shown or streamed, someone is paying for it, so you get a small percentage of that.

Basically, a bunch of entitled people think they're entitled to earn lots of money for working in the entertainment industry, regardless of the quality of their work, and they think having to go and work a regular job like most people to make money is beneath them.
Personally, i don't think much is lost if they stop making 'entertainment' for a while, majority of it plays a large part in the current degradation of our culture anyway, and old stuff is nearly always better.
