Stars on Strike: See the Actors on the SAG-AFTRA and WGA Picket Lines (Photo Gallery)
Indie Wire ^ | 8/4/23 | Ryan Lattanzio

The Writers Guild of America strike has been underway since May, but this July, SAG-AFTRA joined the chorus of Hollywood dissenters fed up with outmoded contracts with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP). Hollywood is now officially on strike, with production on nearly all AMPTP-associated film and television projects featuring SAG-AFTRA talent at a standstill — and actors are now taking to the picket lines in unity to voice their concerns over residuals, the threat of artificial intelligence, and challenging working conditions from meal breaks to long hours.

Huh, weird. One would think that trannsies would be shown as on the front and center of the picket line, but they are not. The trannsies are no where to be found.

I guess the union bosses came to a realization.

OMG, they can do something that requires effort without a PA trailer and craft services at arms length. Oh I cant wait until it rains!

Good for them to fight for their 10-60k/day jobs.

Wait until they come back to “work” and find out that all their movies with any kind of weapons will be rated R 21 and above. The RATS don’t want any weapons advertisements aimed at minors. Movies with guns, light sabers or any other kinds of weapons will be considered advertisements and will be rated R-21. Let the lawsuits begin!

“the threat of artificial intelligence”

A legit fear, considering the general quality of Hollywood’s writing over the last 20 years or so.

Just for fun, go to the link and look at the pictures of some of these “actors”.

Many of them could pass for another homeless person you see on the streets of any major city.
Especially Jack Black and Sean Penn.

AI can spew out leftist talking points better than live humans—and they can get instant updates if the talking points change!

Will put 10s of thousands out of work and that will be a good thing. They will see Conservatives never lied to them as the leftists lied to Conservatives
