#SAGAFTRA strike

With the actors and writers strike in the U.S., I'm reminded of this tweet from John Cho who got zero payment from a residual check.

Quotes from SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher who spoke today regarding the impending SAG-AFTRA strike.

"How they plead poverty that they are losing money left and right when they give $100 millions to their CEOs."

“If we don’t stand tall right now, we are all going to be in jeopardy of being replaced by machines”

“The eyes of the world and, particularly, the eyes of labor are upon us,”

“The companies have refused to meaningfully engage on some topics & on others completely stonewalled us.”

“You share the wealth because you cannot exist without us.”

I wish Hollywood would agree to pay their damn writers and actors a reasonable amount so I could resume my weekly dose of John Oliver telling me how a thing in this country (or sometimes elsewhere) is terrible which I didn’t even realize was a thing at all.

To survey the film and television industry today is to witness multiple existential crises. Many of them point to a larger trend: of Hollywood divesting from its own future, making dodgy decisions in the short term that whittle down its chances of long-term survival. Corporations are no strangers to fiscal myopia, but the ways in which the studios are currently squeezing out profits—nickel-and-diming much of their labor force to the edge of financial precarity while branding their output with the hallmarks of creative bankruptcy—indicate a shocking new carelessness. Signs of this slow suicide are all around: the narrowing pipelines for rising talent, the overreliance on nostalgia projects, and a general negligence in cultivating enthusiasm for its products. Writers and actors have walked out to demand fairer wages and a more equitable system, but they’ve also argued, quite persuasively, that they’re the ones trying to insure the industry’s sustainability. Meanwhile, studio executives—themselves subject to C-suite musical chairs—seem disinterested in steering Hollywood away from the iceberg. This is perhaps because the landscape is shifting (and facets of it are shrinking) so rapidly that they themselves have little idea of what the future of Hollywood might look like.

This is something of an unarticulated thought, because I'm not sure how it would be done, or implemented, but there really needs to be some legal stipulation for the use of AI in creative fields. Not just passing it off as the genuine article, but in the way that corporations and capitalists are trying to use it to replace artists, writers, and all manner of creators, in general. In such that it should not be allowed to recreate a person's likeness, it should also not be legal to use it to avoid hiring actual people for creative work, or use it to create, flood markets with fakes, or enhance "artwork" without clear notification.

We laugh about the six-fingered renderings, and absurd passages that sound like they were written by computers now, but in ten years, the bugs will be worked out, and these things will be indistinguishable from reality. The implications are terrible, and not just for creators, but for politicians releasing fake images of them doing civic work, or being attacked to incite the public, and news outlets who do their bidding who would pass them off as the real thing. There will be no way to stop the use of false footage to confuse the public into thinking that one country has aggressed upon another, and due to the lack of valid education to the general public, OR education on how to distinguish reality from fiction, which Americans have never possessed the ability to do, we're going to end up in nuclear war situations, and even further pushed onto the say-so of power and money-hungry corporations using politicians and the media to do their bidding.

These obnoxious and laughable issues seem innocuous now, but without some kind of legal consequences, the future for everyone regarding everything is extremely grave.

For those who aren't sure about how to support the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strike, this short from Jessica Steinrock (@intimacycoordinator) is really great.

If you don't know her, she's an intimacy coordinator for Hollywood, and it's her job to make sure that sex scenes in film and television are safe, comfortable for everyone involved, adheres to laws and regulations for these scenes, and act as a go-between for actors and directors when it comes to these scenes.

#wga strike #wga #sag aftra #actor #sagaftra strike #sagaftra #hollywood #intimacy coordinator #i had no idea that was a job til i found her channel #its really fascinating #im glad a job like this exists cuz i always thought filming those sex scenes could get really uncomfortable and unsafe really fast

Putting new footage aside:

BIG critique of the BTS ofmd video is it leaning so anti-union.... they not even subtle

HBO not idiots they know what going on with the strikes and to release a video basically saying look at this beautiful country with virtually no industry union laws and how much we were able to get done has me veryyyy 👀😒

It is one thing to say look at this beautiful country we were able to work in and hire local artisans and tell this awesome story and PAY THEM A PROPER WAGE v.

look at this awesome country and because virtually no unions/ labor protections (cc: hobbit law) we were able to get great quality art on the CHEAP CHEAP CHEAP

Also with this to be released right before talks resume with SAG-AFTRA and AMPTP

coincidence... I think NOT

One thing I have to say is Stede "pays my crew a weekly salary" Gentleman Pirate would NOT be amused
