It looks like the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) is heading for a strike. Talks have broken down, attempts at mediation are being rejected, and the mogul's group, the AMPTP has been crowing about how their last offer was their last, best offer, and that nothing will get SAG a better deal.
SAG doesn't think it has much choice, even if they wanted to accept the AMPTP's last offer, they just have to look at the Writers Guild of America and how the AMPTP has failed to live up to the contract that ended the Writer's Strike.
Now this can end badly for both sides, and here's why.

And this affects us how?
No Spiderman 6? No Batman 12? No Saw MCM?
How will we live??
Good timing. They’ll just get scads of sympathy from regular working folk.
As usual, knowing some prodn unit guys who personally got pissed off at the last WGA strike from these overrated hacks, more untalented, overpaid hacks suck as Ben Affleck have cost them money in the bank..
of course, we should all be receptive and sympathetic to these lefty morons who make more than $20 million a film.......NOT!
I thought it was the Film Actors’ Guild?
Let them go on strike. So what did they ever do for me?
“And this affects us how?”
Exactly. I could care less about Hollywierd.
Oh no - please SAG, don’t go on strike. Please, don’t do that.
SAG’s only leverage is shutting down the Academy Awards...
I objected to them knocking on my door on Sunday. The guy closest to me began his sales pitch. I told him I did not want to hear it. Then he put his hand on my chest. I told him not to touch me and asked him to leave. He refused to move and stood too close to me.
Then I pushed him away from my front door.
His partner in crime then threatened me saying: "I will come up there and beat you up!" I yelled at them, saying Comcast are a bunch of thugs and "Worse than Enron." I also said "You guys are a bunch of crooks. Everybody knows it, too."
The thugs finally ran away shouting obscenities over their shoulders . . . As usual, the police have proved to be useless.
