#15 HOW FID WE GET THIS INFORMATION?!?!?!
That’s awesome!! I just love the ombré! You did fantastic looks
I don’t know what stopped me. I had everything set up. I think, weirdly, it’s my absolute fear of failure that did it. Instead I got drunk and went to sleep
Oh moose! 😍
#5 I miss my old B&H
That’s part of the issue, the writers are looking for equality across the board, streaming, trad tv and film. Content is content and all should be paid the same
Great, now I’m horny at work
sigh……zip
Did you though?
Have there been discussions about joining IATSE in your area? In Toronto most engineers are covered under Unifor 79m or Unifor NABET 700m depending on region.

I may or may not have been making a joke
#26 Boddy, you’re slime
#3 great…. Now it’s stuck in my head
It’s still not 2, and a lot of the time showrunners will write the outline and each episode is written by a different staff writer. So even though they have 6 writers in staff each is writing a different episode. Have you ever been in a writers room?
No, last strike was over hourly pay and residuals. This is about category pay equity and AI. If you have two writers one writes for The Equalizer on CBS and gets paid $75,000 a season because it’s network and the other writes for The Citadel on Prime for $40,000 because it’s a “web series” would you think that’s fair?
Ummm….. South Park has 28 writers. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0121955/fullcredits
Yeah he lied by consistently citing double peer reviewed and fact checked information instead of whacked out opinions.
As of the contract that ended in 2020, extended to now: a network 60 min prime time show, CSI, Chicago whatever, Grey’s anatomy etc. the show runner/ head writer makes $75,000 a season. The same show on a streaming service, Wednesday, Citadel, Outer Banks etc: $40,000 a season
Yes!!! You guys need fair pay!!! With all the BS you put up with, it’s insane!
Kinda have to point out that the writers are fighting stuff that is already happening. Which is WHY stuff has been sucking lately
The ask is, not to use AI in place of a unionized writer. Hiring a dude willing to use AI, which already happens, is fine I guess as long as they are a union writer getting paid union rates
Which is why one of the proposals is that unionized shows cannot use AI in place of a writer
You’re so close. No they aren’t trying to hire more writers than needed, remember this includes Head Writer/Showrunner, story editors, clearances, and individual character writers. So so yeah 6 per half hour episode isn’t out of the ordinary. What they are fighting is, losing work to AI and streaming services paying an outdated rate.
That’s why there is the union, to prevent this type of cannibalistic undercutting
What you’re asking is if an artists work that generates BILLIONS of dollars a year has value over something created by a machine. Which in turn asks, is a machine worth more than a human life?
And the proposals are also not that unreasonable
That’s exactly what’s happening, but with the added caveat of getting paid less for more work and studios/streaming services taking advantage of an outdated loophole in the contract
