Will probably only serve a fraction of that and get released for good behavior.

I figure the argument is pretty simple; someone is getting paid for the success of the show on streaming media. Why shouldn’t it be the people who made it?

This is basically how comic companies treated their writers all the way from the 1930s till more recently.  It’s part of why Bill Finger, co-creator of Batman, died in poverty.

To all the people I’ve seen say things like “you got paid for your work, stop complaining!,” I offer you this:

You go to work at Big Button Push factory and you push the Big Button. This creates a thing that BBP sells. They pay you a minute percentage of that sale. Easy, right?

Aaron Paul pushed the Big Button once, and…

He wasn’t ever married to Mia.  

This is the stupidest thing I’ve read all week, and the fact that you thought it was actually smart makes it hilarious.

Its not that weird given that most accounts of his marriage to Farrow imply that he only saw her and her kids on weekends, and he wasn’t there to be anyone’s dad.

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…

OK but just because an issue has two sides doesn’t mean those sides are equal or equivalent or that people opining about them need to hold equal space for them. The people writing about this on this site clearly feel that the AMPTP is clearly morally in the wrong. I’m not sure why you would expect them to espouse or…

This is a weird take - AMPTP is transparently trying to exploit essentially all its laborers. Have you seen some of the residuals checks these folks are getting from streaming media? You can try to “see both sides” based on how sad Bob Iger is that Disney can’t make movies right now, but you’d reaaaaally have to reach…

“I can understand both sides. All we can do is encourage people to talk.’’

Sure, I guess this take makes sense if you don’t understand how systems work and/or are a tedious bore.

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.

Yeah. How some of this is framed is always a problem. It’s true that many stories of abuse are discounted, and people in power are often able to use that very power to ensure abuses continue and are not brought to light. But, it’s also true that sometimes accusations are false, or the result of coaching.

I get the…

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.

I am totally in favor of cancel culture. R. Kelly OUT, Louis C.K. OUT. However, you have to ask here not what is necessary to definitively remove the stain of somebody if they have been proven innocent, but what is necessary for somebody to be able to publicly believe somebody is innocent when you can never know for…

Yeah but you forget that those independent studios don’t have CEOs making hundreds of millions of dollars a year! Completely unreasonable demands from SAG-AFTRA that simply don’t take into account what those big studios have to worry about. Those yachts aren’t going to buy themselves!

Anyone who thinks they’re such a good parent that they need to make videos about how other people should do it like them is probably not a good parent.
