Even the US collective bargaining of the different production unions prevent union solidarity. It’s not government mandated but it is in each of the collective bargains. The only way this is happening now is because of an overlap of negotiations (which could have included the DGA the cowards.) I, as an IATSE member,…

Oppenheimer wasn’t under Equity rules/contracts. It was SAG-AFTRA. So the actors followed the promotional rules (also, the studio knew which is why them moved up the time table on promotion.)

There’s a hold/lien put against the production. There is a stiff fine paid out to the guild/union and there will be negations for release. If the conditions aren’t met, ALL productions with the company will be put on hold (indefinitely.) Even post-strike. No one can work for them. It becomes an official work-stoppage.…

NO. It is part of the studios’ collective bargaining. It applies to anyone at all. No changes. Even Equity. Writers can’t do writing but also Producers and Actors are not allowed. (In fact, if a producer, under normal situations, makes a change, he/she has to join the guild. I have a film where this has happened and…

They cannot. No one can. The scripts are frozen. No actor can change it and no director can suggest a line change. That is part of the collective bargaining. There can be no straying from the script made (now) 75 days ago. Something not working... no change.

UK Production doesn’t make the WGA strike less relevant. Equity doesn’t represent writers — only UK actors. Ryan Condal, Sara Hess, and George RR Martin are all WGA members for House of Dragons. WGA rules apply. For Dune Sisterhood, Diane Ademu-John, Kevin Anderson, and Brian Herbert are all WGA members. They are all…

The writers are still on strike. And writers on set are necessary (zero script changes and no ad-libbing are allowed during a strike.) I feel both productions are/are going to violate that.

It’s called “business class” because businesses pay for those seats. They also don’t pay full rate. The passenger can earn miles from that travel and, as would be expected, use that for their own flights — often at business or first levels. My job (actually my industry) has a required minimum travel-level of business…

The sponsors have no influence on the programming (I know the festival’s programmer.) It’s blind funding.

Guarantee WB didn’t change its mind. It’s probably being screened under the festival license (which allows you to do stuff like this.)

As Costa Rica borders both the Pacific and the Gulf of Mexico, I think it’s relevant to mention that all 3 known octopuses’ nurseries are in the Pacific Ocean (2 off of Costa Rica and 1 off of California.)

Does anyone remember just how terrible the end fight sequence of Black Panther was (the first movie)? It was practically polygons at times.

They are still being overworked.

Nope. VFX houses bid for the job. It’s always a race to the bottom due to this. There was no decision making about “let’s make it all look bad since we can’t afford to do some scenes great.” It’s the VFX sup will distribute the funds over the number of frames they have to do (as evenly as possible.) Then there’ll be…

It actually didn’t. It went bankrupt and then was restarted again.

Moog Music hasn’t been “independent” for 70 years. From 1971-1987 (when it went bankrupt) it was owned by muSonics/Norlin. A lot of users know this history (because a lot of specific synths were made during this time.) In 1987 it went bankrupt and the brand reverted back to Robert Moog.

HamNo is an idiot as always.

“Binford Road” not “Bimford Road” — multiple times a mistake above

And by prettiest you mean just ripping off the Range Rover look? I mean that last picture is just a weird version of the last gen Evoque.

Do you think there are no other choices than Tesla for EVs? That’s pretty braindead.
