Hey, “Learn to Code”, Hollywierdos.

[txrefugee]

Most young people with Follywood stars in their eyes didn’t listen to sage advice, believing that they could be anything they wanted to be (a popular lie), and wound up sleeping on the sofas of friends.
No one will ever outsource HVAC jobs. And you can make a fortune in Texas in that business.

Aw c’mon! Pelosi says unemployment is good for people! Just think how much time that you now have that you didn’t have before!

You can take up art or now that you won’t be eating as much you can lose that extra weight!

Look on the bright side!.................

I feel sorry for the fraction of Hollywood who are real Americans.

Not the America-hating tribe that infests the place, doesn’t belong here and torments us all.

Netflix sounded the death toll for Hollywood, including Disney.
Disney bought FOX consolidating control over the mega blockbuster industry that makes tons of money but not much substance as far as movies go.
Yeah, they get MARVEL, and those are the bigger dollar incomes, Disney will enjoy, but the tear-jerkers, the films of substance that win critical acclaim will escape them, THOSE acting in the acclaimed movies will not venture near the cemetery of the dying studio mogul decision to make a film or not.
HULU, Amazon, Netflix, even YouTube are realizing in-house production makes oodles of money, worldwide, without the theater to play in.
Movies and series, direct to viewers around the world, via the internet, are THE wave of entertainment in the future and Disneywill wake up to that.
Unfortunately, the 'stars' will fester in Hollywood, waiting for the phone to ring, but no one will want them or their salaries.

Disney...pretty liberal company isn’t it? Is the MSM going to start doing stories on all the 4000 people that are losing their jobs at the hands of greedy liberals, in the same way they did with the poor government workers? All of whom went back to work and got back pay. I mean, none of these 4000 are going back to work at their old job and getting back pay. I would think the media would be all over this story.

Am I missing something?

[irishjuggler]

a clunker that broke down on the 101.

Side note... something that i've wondered about or a while... In L.A., a freeway is typically referred to in the manner above, e.g., "There's a heavy traffic on THE 101," or "THE 5," "THE 10," etc.

In Northern California, someone would say, "There's a heavy traffic on 101," or "Highway 101," but not "the 101."

Is L.A.'s format ("the" + number) popular throughout the country? Do people on the east coast talk about "THE 95," or do they say, "95," "I 95," "Interstate 95" etc?

The big studios put out something like 5 movies per year where in the old days they used to do hundreds.

It's all kinda dicey to begin with.

[from occupied ga]

he author of this bit of shining ignorance obviously doesn't have a clue as to the nature of the economy.

Layoffs in one industry are more than balanced by opportunities in another as long as the economy continues to improve, and under Trump the economy is going great guns. If the Democraps get back in power God help us and keep up your marksmanship because ignoramuses like the vacuum brains who voted for the Cortez numbskull can vote us into socialism, but once in you have to shoot your way out.

Does anyone remember when movies we happylittle slice of all American life where the problems were minor and easily solved. When a husband practically cried for joy when his loving wife told him they were expecting?

Remember when it was fun to go to the movies? Musicals, comedies that were actually funny, good clean movies where sex was only hinted at and you could watch a whole movie without seeing naked people.

Remember when studios had morals clauses written into their contracts?

[poinq]

Silliness! The industry is in a golden age. If these people are good, they will get hired by other studios. If they were not doing a good job. Then they may have trouble. Employees always have a chance to leave. And companies have the option to delete the job.

Welcome to Disney! Now pack you crap up and get the hell out! It's too small a world to care about you or your family!"

If coal miners can learn to code so can Disney workers.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Maybe Disney will tell George Clooney or Will Smith to train his Indian replacement.
