Great show of solidarity.
Someone will inevitably complain about why do these highly paid actors need a union, not making the connection that one of the reasons they remain highly paid is that they are unionized.
Not just that, but all of those people in the background are getting about $3000 a week. Great pay in some places, but you’re not going to be living in a mansion in L.A. on that. Not to mention, they might be getting that wage for one week, four times a year.
Wow have writers and actors gone on strike at the same time before?
Not since Reagan was the president of the actors’ union in the sixty’s.
Great show of solidarity.
Glad it got made before Hollywood finally crashed. This isn’t going to get resolved the way actors and writers would like. The old Hollywood isn’t coming back and studios are going to be much leaner and less eager to take risks in the future.
Hollywood is the last place in the US where workers actually hold any power. They’re not going down without a fight.
Studios are already not taking any risks. Go look at the list of movies that came out in 1992 or 1994 and then look at what came out in 2019 and tell me that studios are taking any risks at all.
[proceeds to make another comic book movie no one asked for.]
Oh boy, more greedy people need more money to satisfy even greedier people.
Good thing they deserve more money than, you know, the subsistence farmers in Africa.
Those greedy background actors taking money from the multibillion dollar corporations!
How does your posting here help the subsistence farmers in Africa.?
Other than making you feel righteous?
🥱
Like it or not, I can’t solve these problems on my own.
Unfortunately, a lot of people like you are afraid to admit they exist.
Oh great, another person who thinks they are the first to realise there are major problems in the world and think their efforts raising awareness do anything but feed their ego.
So, What personally have you done, other than post online, to help the people you keep posting about?
How much have you donated to African relief this month? Those people can’t tell the difference between you and Sandra Bullock. You both shit into cleaner water than they have ever seen in their lives.
Your bar for “rich” is very low.

The average salaries are ok, but in the US they are far far from making actors wealthy.
