oh my god I thought of this exact panel when I read that stupid comment :D

Translation: I, a superior being, am above your petty human notions of “right” and “wrong”. I see all sides and have no biases, regarding all things as being equally true, all positions equally valid, and seeing no situation where one lesser being may ever be in a higher moral position to another.

If he’d said “I understand them, but they are the ones refusing to come to the table and negotiate in good faith”, then sure, but I don’t know how to read his comments as anything than “people are both sides are being unreasonable”, which the AVC disagrees with (as do I).

“...they’re chastising him because he’s saying he understands them.”

Every post you make shows more and more how little you know about labor movements and how Hollywood works as a whole.

Reilly: “There’s no clean way to get stuff done. The Coup’s first album came out on EMI Records, which was a major international megacorporation. I’ve never been out there pushing, ‘Let’s make a gentler capitalism,’ or trying to get people to buy from Peet’s instead of Starbucks. The small capitalists are trying to be…

No, they’re chastising him *specifically* because he said “All we can do is encourage people to talk.” and Reilly’s point, as well as Mary Kate’s point, is that people HAVE talked. Primarily on the union side. The AMPTP has not “talked”, they have lectured and repeatedly rejected efforts to negotiate, which is…

Former history teacher here, well said. I sure as shit taught US labor struggles in my classes. But anti-union propaganda is strong in this country of temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

this is a good example of full-on internet poisoning.

Isn’t there something to be said for making anti-capitalist statements with Amazon’s money?

I’m a Virgo was really good. 

Strike comments aside, that Home Depot thing. Why would anyone other than a politician or media mogul want that? There’s not enough distrust and paranoia?

I’m not sure what your point is. Anyone who’s ever worked with Amazon is a hypocrite if they support the strike(s) now? The deal with Amazon to make I’m a Virgo was signed in 2020, three years before the strikes. Thousands of other people who are now on strike have also worked with Amazon (and all the other members of…

There are two sides here.  There’s one side that wants everything for themselves, and the other side, consisting of all the workers, that doesn’t want to be left with only the choice of dirt to eat as a reward for working.

He’s just pissy because he can’t promote his new project. Tom Cruise all over again.

I really wish David Fincher would elaborate on what exactly he sees on the AMPTP’s side. I just see a bunch of CEOs refusing to admit they’ve made a huge mistake going all in on streaming.

It was for the wives!

I mean, he’s not wrong. He’s been incredibly lucky. There’s nothing that can happen to him at this point. It’s not like he’s going to spend a minute in jail. He could go to sleep on a Scrooge McDuck style pile of money every night if he wanted. He’s able to find pockets of industry acceptance where he can still be…

“[...] I have good friends, I have a wonderful wife and marriage, two children,” is an absolutely wild statement from a man with 5 children.
