So based on the fact that on 30 Rock, Tracy, Jenna and the rest of the TGS cast were idiots who talked down to their staff without even realizing it, I have to assume that a bunch of actual SNL cast member like Fallon act the exact same way.

So how do they decide that for wing eating it is a 12 minute competition but for hot dogs you only get 10 minutes?

Couldn’t this kind of thing benefit on strike writers (and possibly actors). Drew’s background is acting in movies so she doesn’t necessarily have the same improv background that say Colbert has. So when her completely made up on the fly show sucks that could show a lot of people how valuable writers are. And if…

Norton as Banner is weird. Marvel wasn’t really a studio back then and somehow he wrote a draft of the script and had some level of script approval. Which made it even harder to work with him. And knowing how much control Marvel has over their creators I can’t imagine them ever giving any actor that level of control…

The Blank Check podcast episode about BTTF is also super interesting. Basically Fox would finish his days on Family Ties at one studio, then get in a van with a mattress in the back and sleep while he was driven to the other studio to film Back to the Future.

I also saw a clip somewhere how supposedly in the scene in the cafe in 55 where Marty punches Biff there is a brief shot of Marty from behind that is Stoltz

What is even worse is the reverse nepo-babies. Like does anyone really think that Scorsese's mom was the best little old Italian lady they could have gotten to play Joe Pesci's mom in Goodfellas?

Aren't most of the people who work for a show like The Tonight Show unionized? Other than collective bargaining what is the point of having a union if they aren't going to back you up when you have issues like this? Like if the employee got no where with HR isn't that why you would have a union grievance process? 

That was sort of my point though. Aaron Paul wasn’t really famous when BB started. But by the time he made El Camino he was pretty well know. And by that time he would have known how popular BB was on Netflix and how he wasn’t making anything off of it. So I would think he could have used that information as a way to…

Is he just talking the original BB series? Because I wonder why he would agree to do El Camino (or appear in BCS) if he wasn’t happy with his deal. It would seem like those would be a good opportunity to get some money back from Netflix.

That has been happening for a while, and certainly seems like it is getting worse. The big blockbusters are getting bigger and more expensive and the little movies are getting tiny. So there is a bigger in-between range of movies that don't exist. Like looking at box office mojo for July and August, where are the date…

So the WGA goes on strike because they want better pay from the networks/studios/streamers for their members (which is fine) but where are they in cases like this where a show runner who is also very likely a WGA member is terrible in how they treat their staff. Since this is far from the first time we have heard this…

It's not really clear who is getting paid. The article talks about the writing staff but the quote from Indiewire talks about the non-writing staff. Plus shouldn't the writers be getting strike pay from the WGA?

I think part of the thing with people only coming to the movies for “must see events” is that everything that comes out tries to be a must see event. So Hollywood only released less than 50% of the number of movies that they did in summer 2019, but they still tried to release a bunch of blockbusters. So that makes me…

I am surprised she knows she hasn't been in any recent marvel movies. I seem to remember articles from a few years ago where she had no idea that she was in the ones she was actually in.

Is Charlie's Angels really plum IP waiting to be rebooted or is it just some show from the 70's  that people liked at the time (because there weren't that many choices) but no one really cares about now.  Maybe it's like how it is not surprising that no one (as far as I know) is trying to maks a new version of There's…

One thing the article doesn’t really seem to consider is the possibility that the show isn’t very good. Streamers already get criticized for filling their services with a ton of content with a lot of it being crap. Maybe this is one of them recognizing that less crap isn’t really a bad thing.

HER GHOST!
