I saw an interview with Fran Drescher.

She said that they wanted a cut of all the money being made by streaming services, including shows that don't have professional actors (reality shows).

So they will probably be out on strike for a while.

😁👌

[Nervous Tick]

I understand and empathize with you.

[SMARTY]

Ha! They don’t produce grain, lumber or steel, etc. Who CARES about them?

They could all go hang and no one would miss them or their ‘work’. That goes double for the MSM... I wish THEY’D strike!

[SunkenCiv]

Libloather: May they be on strike for years and years.

LOL. Step one: stop laughing. Step two: find a reason you'd even want to support a large group of leftist parasites.

someone asked if it would be “crossing the picket line” to see Barbie in cinemas.

Certainly crossing a lot me of good taste.

Nope.
Don’t need them.
May their strike never end.

“I can get on board with a Hollywood strike.”

I can get onboard with a *strike on Hollywood.*

Fixed it.

[philippa]

Excellent idea!

[Paal Gulli]

It should be illegal for employees to collude to take actions to the detriment of their employer.

Which is why the 1935 National Labor relations Act needs to be repealed.

If you don’t like your job, McDonald’s is always hiring.

I want the wokers to strike forever (not a typo).

I want the studio owners to hold our forever.

That would be a major win for our side.

...those outside of the industry may be wondering if there’s anything they can do to help.

I'll pass on the wondering. I won't help them.
The quicker they go back to work the sooner they can
resume writing the same horrible drek they've been
writing for decades so I hope they don't settle soon...
or at all.

[Obadiah]

Yeah, and that’s just one 30 minutes show.

[EEGator]

Maybe even a long commercial.

[GOPJ]

I'm sick of progressive remakes of old movies and old movie ideas.

I welcome AI writing the scripts and doing the 'acting' - it can't be worse than what we have now.

[Boomer]

May the woke force be with the strikers as they stay on strike for decades.

Sensationalism: “While hundreds of thousands of actors and screenwriters are currently out of work…”

I stopped reading this crap.

# I watched some of Kevin Hart show on Roku channel called “Die Hart”
It is really bad. Bad writing and acting. Roku picked it up for free as I bet everyone else said no way.
