Just like 2008, they’re fighting over a drastically shrinking market. There’s not much blood left to squeeze out of the stone but they’re willing to burn it all before getting taken advantage of.
OMG...no more “Young Sheldon”? No more Colbert? I guess a visit to the George Washington Bridge is in order!
That’s funny
May it be a long strike.
AI will do a better job of writing scripts anyway.
Old dusty joke time!
Q: Why did they cancel “B.J. and the Bear”?
Go on. Ask me! :)
Give us Sheriff Lobo on DVD.
I’d rather watch old reruns of “Gilligan’s Island” than most of what is on TV these days
Kinda, sorta the same thing here. Mrs. abb & I have been on a road trip since last Monday, and have yet to turn on a TV even one time. Reading books still works for us.
So, they’re going to threaten to withhold their creativity.
Would I notice?
Would I care?
I have no solidarity with them. Getting published today means adhering to standards that create stories and narratives so bland and woke, sleep is more interesting.
Violence (the more bloody and ridiculously ugly), sex, perversion and toeing the company line is acceptable. Inserting a character or a throwaway line just to tick off a box is annoyingly obvious.
Questions, thoughtful exposures of characters personalities and stories that go against the current acceptable (read Marxist) line are not.
Redoing and rebranding stories from the past to give sloppy, scared, little minds a sop to their deadened intellects is civilizational death.
Any industry knowledge?
GUNSMOKE is still on every day at 2 PM in this house.
There are close to a half dozen job titles in the Writers Guild union contract that combine the word "writer" with various kinds of "producers."
I always thought movie producers were the business administrators - both on and off the movie set.
To me, there is no obvious relationship between the skill set for creative writing and the skill set for business administration.
Do you have any insight on this? Thanks...
Didn’t you hear that they are rebooting it? The car will be a Rivivan and the son will be a black transwomen... 🤓
I stopped in 2010. It’s been great, don’t miss it one bit.
I did see something in the car dealer while I was waiting, I couldn’t tell you what is was. I asked if there was a TV free waiting area, they sent me to the showroom.
It is not so much the need for the producer to have a high aptitude for creative writing. He does need the information to tell the story. Our producer went all over the country to talk to the families involved. From their information he wrote the script outline; which others, including myself, did improvements. He has a tremendous knowledge of Hollywood and, because of his dad, has great connections. And with the knowledge of what is needed to put together an epic movie, he will do good.
It is essential to have a great screenwriter. That we have because we also have a great manager. The trouble is, I am not at liberty to name names or reveal too much, yet.
Hollywood has been hit hard with the pandemic and inflation. Money is tight and this strike reflects how much they are hitting the wall. Because of the nature of our movie (with a $1/2 million budget) we have attracted much attention and we will do real good.
#55 On Pluto tv there are many westerns on.
Gunsmoke is on 24/7.
