I just re-watched Princess Mononoke in a theater aa part of Ghibli Fest 2023, and at the end I couldnt help but think this movie from 1997 has everything Hollywood says it wants to deliver; diversity, strong female characters, strong messages about the environment, etc. The funny thing is that over 25 years after, Hollywood can't even make a pale imitation of this Japanese masterpiece of cinema.
Bruh mostly everything outside Hollywood hits the checkmarks they been trying to do. Especially now like when they say we don’t want strong women yet ignore legends like Xena, Buffy, Riply etc…
Doesn't matter. We've seen the handwaving with Zelda. Feminists will just handwave representation because Ashitaka is still the main character. Then you show Nausicaa and it would still be rejected because of Asbel. It's why the stereotype is "stoic woman who does everything a man does and doesn't need anyone to help her". That's the only acceptable representation that can't be criticized unless you depict them as L or T (Bi in a heterosexual relationship is not even allowed). Edit: Hollywood has done Ripley and Sarah Conner, they're just regressing.
I think the 80% of SAG-AFTRA members should form a new union that caters to their needs and not rely on SAG. They are gatekeepers who mostly caters to the A-list elites.
@@rubix4195 That was the point. :D They picked a masterful spoof there. I'll use it just because I think it's funny, and not because I even mixed them up. :D
I’m a bit conflicted about these strikes: one part of me believes that there are genuinely good writers and actors that are part of the strikes but they’re overshadowed by the really bad ones. But the other part of me couldn’t give less of a damn about the strikes even if I tried since there’s a lifetime of old movies and shows on Blu-Ray and pirate sites to watch instead.
Same about there being decent actors and writers. That's the main problem with unions. It throws all degrees / spectrum of talent together and basically protects the mediocre middle.
I’ve been watching K dramas on Netflix and old movies and shows on Tubi and Amazon Prime. And old games on Good old Games. There’s so many older movies, shows, and computer games out there it’s ridiculous.
The worst part is the bad writers are still trying to put in work. One of the things they want is a guaranteed number of writers per production or whatever the wording is. The job may need only handful of writers but the contract says they need *this* many writers. They want charity. that shit won't fly. Even under communism the rule was if you don't work you don't eat.
dont be. the really good ones will always have a job. Writing and Acting is a GIG based economy before the term was even coined. You are the product and you sell yourself to Other projects. Every one of these Writers should be having several projects going at a time. its not a 9-5 job Actors Aswell although! they get a bit more leeway as Acting can take up a large amount of time and commitment for the duration of said project but Still, the project is not endless once it is done its done unless they are going to make a sequel and still need your character the problem with hollywood is its completly infested with incestoues, fail upward, activists who Hate their job, hate the projects they work for and only care about doing what they want with other peoples IP's.
Once again, the market sorts itself out. If you hired people who cost you money and strike, you just use people who aren't beholden to a union. These idiots just worker's united themselves out of business.
In 2012. They went on strike and then they couldn't come to an agreement and the Hostess upper management sold the brand to someone else and filed bankruptcy, putting 18,500 people out of work.
Went to the Star Trek convention in Vegas last week. The actors who showed up were not even allowed to mention the name of the show. They were only allowed to talk about their personal lives. It was anticlimactic. The elites need to understand that their business is using other people's creativity.
Years ago there _was_ a SAG union solely for background artists; apparently back then one easily make a living just doing background work in movies and commercials on TV and such. Then "regular SAG" convinced that lil union to join "regular SAG," promising protections and they wouldn't lose anything they'd had set up, all of which fell through, so now those of us who either are "just" background artists, or actors that Do Background Work (there very much *_is_* a distinction), live off the table scraps of Working Actors...
In terms of residuals, why not flip it? Instead of actors being paid millions and then getting residuals, why not have the people that actually make the movie get the millions while the actor just get residules. I mean, it makes sense to me since the actors will have long term payment regardless of how many are sold compared to the crew behind them. I feel like actors have become too much of a focus that everyone's forgotten about who exactly is making the movie worth watching.
This is a studio strike not a distributor strike. An independent film may end up on an AMPTP member's streaming service but any residuals will have to be negotiated between the talent and the independent producers. It's a workaround that keeps people working.
They kept making it about themselves so it was only a matter of time when the rivals get smaller only to end up stabbing each other cause again, it’s every men for itself.
How exactly is the actors' guild supposed to negotiate effectively with the studios when they don't seem to be all that good at communicating with their own members? Not that a care one bit, but it is curious.
I suppose that you could say that the writers guild did a good job at writing itself into a corner, which is rather ironic considering that they suck at writing anything else.
Thr actors are getting their just desserts. They were singing Imagine from their mansions while most of us struggled during c19. They told us how to behave, what to believe, and who to vote for from their golden pulpit.
Heating oil was able to gain market dominance in Britain because the coal miners were constantly on strike. Independent studios will be the primary beneficiaries of a long strike.
Do not rely on independent companies too much because they may censor in the future. TemTem, Monster Crown, and Cassette Beasts are indie video games with those stupid pronouns options in custom characters as a way to replace picking male or female.
As long as there is open competition to give you options, it will be fine. We've seen it time and time again when something fills in a market gap. Sound of Freedom, Topgun Marverick and even Barbie are such examples. The rise in LGBT comics coming from indies and not the stuff Marvel and DC shoehorning in is also another. The bigger issue is the public pressure of shutting down platforms due to representations not being acceptable. This results in nonsensical retroactive takebacks like Skullgirls.
@@littlebee7147 Exactly this. There is nothing wrong with LGBT comics, games, movies, art, or books. What is the issue is the appropriation of non LGBT material to be made into LGBT material. Some of my fav web comics are LGBT and they are well written and have great art. But they are "ORIGINAL" which is the main point.
Even if the movies with waivers are the lowest grade of grindhouse, I hope this pisses people off enough that the unions fall apart. But even more, I hope this turns into a 365 day strike. This isn't a trucker strike, these people aren't critical. We've got decades of GOOD stuff, all made before 2016.
I mean I work for UPS and when the strike was about to happen there was a few drivers that still would work mainly delivering priority and medicine. So a strike doesnt mean everybody stops.
One major thing not being mentioned is that a lot of the a-listers are on both sides of the strike, as they own and/or control production companies. I would not at all be surprised to find out that these productions being granted waivers have heavy financial involvement by SAG/AFTRA members.
10:28 I'll bet that a lot of those movies are being filmed in places like montreal, toronto, vancouver, london and other cities in countries around the world that have their own actors guilds/unions that aren't beholden too sag-aftra if they use mostly local talent plus a couple of big name stars.
This is the problem with striking. No one else is obligated to join you. They're allowed to come in and fill in the vacancies in the market that you have left. That's the nature of a competitive free market.
Interest convergeance, the only reason there is a strike, it's because big writer's mony was affected, it's been year where smaller one where on horrible gig economics, but you had to wait until the big paycheck get affected too and suddenly it became "for everyone", using the smaller one as a moral escape. 🤔
As far as I'm concerned, the 'interim agreements' are basically going to make the Studios more willing to let the actors starve out (since they'll suck up the scraps from the Independent studios anyway)
Don't watch a lot of tv, or go to many movies. I do, however have a mountain of DVD's. Hey, "The Wind and The Lion". I haven't watched that in a dog's age! Get the popcorn started!
Pretty sure if these actors did walk away from filming, that would be considered breach of contract as these independent studios, by definition, are not signatories of the SAG-AFTRA agreements that authorize the strike. And guess what? Not a lawyer, but if a big, rich union was telling my staff to illegally walk off the job, I'm suing their deep pockets too for "inducement" or "incitement' to commit fraud, whatever the actual legal term for it is! These waivers are simply a paper-pushing exercise by the union staff to make themselves look useful without putting their own union-specific paychecks on the line by encouraging illegal actions! Even if it ends up in the same place, the production itself falls under vastly different legal circumstances - and that's the important thing to remember!
I am so tired of them. I work in IT for my state, our union that I was forced into got us a 3% raise that's like 80 extra dollars a month. That doesnt even cover the cost of my gas to go into work because I am in an IT position that requires me to be onsite more than others. I will gladly go do their jobs for whatever pay they made before this bs.
The average writer or actor makes not that much that's like saying u should be a billionaire because ur peers who also work in IT Steve Jobs, bill gates Elon musk is rich. But the reality is the elite of any industry is the exception not the rule and more than likly u would get a few roles that pay enough to be comfortable struggle for a few months or weeks while constantly going for auditions after a show ends and if ur lucky get a big break that pays u enough for a few months. That big break could be anywhere from main character in a tv show or movie all the way down to a side character in a popular soap opera
The motto of this strike has been very clear; everyone for themselves. The backstabbing is becoming more apparent to where even folks who don't pay full attention notice. I wonder what this will mean for films and shows that studios were desperately banking on? I doubt they'll be wholly unaffected. Neither side will come out of this mess unhurt. But the ones striking who won't be reasonable look like they'll be the most affected. And I agree that the being unable to work part will make for some very, very sour grapes with the little guys. No one is looking out for anybody who's not themselves anymore. You'd have to be out of your gourd to not cover your ass now, of all times.
@@primmakinsofis614 ; That would stop them from going with AI but on the other hand. AI can work faster, smarter and make multi storylines. So it'll be interesting to see if they choose many profitable stories or go with copyrights which would give money for just one story for a while. Besides. They will try to copyright it anyways. Maybe claim that humans had to change it some. Or make the AI itself the copyright thing. The bottom-line is that copyrights will be abused for a few more years.
@@facelessone6555 I think technically you can actually copyright a PERFORMANCE even if you can't copyright the script though. IP law is weird and screwy like that.
For the past 5 years I've been more entertained by the drama behind Hollywood, than the drama coming out of Hollywood. Guess all these actors are gonna need to learn to code! 🤣🤣🤣
hopefully this means that in the coming years more studios will start to pop up in other parts of the country or world and slowly let Hollywood root away.
Not to mention, those Indy flicks can get made and then bought by big studios to sell as their own. And WGA will be screwed if SAG agrees first. Also all those striking were likely not working that much and holding down another job so really they never should've banked on residuals anyways. However fairness in working? That was never a thing in Hollywood. Paul Rudd was getting hired. Lowly background nobody wasnt.
The actors and writers seem to think thus is a general strike. It is not, it is a strike against AMtip (As Geeky pronounces it). This doesn't mean the entire industry is shutdown. For example. If the UAW strikes against GM, that doesn't mean Ford, Stellaris, or Toyota are on strike. Same goes for non AMtip productions.
At least half of those independent 'companies' called the same name as the title of the film. Plus a film called 'untitled Guy Ritchie project' and his stuff is not exactly small. You may have a point.
I knew about The Chosen because I was on pins and needles hoping they would get the waiver. Interesting that When Calls the heart is an independent production too. I know it has a lot of fans.
The production staff and on set workers get to continue to work? Hopefully less known actors get some roles. Yeah this is probably a good thing. These million to hundred millionaires actors and managers/agencies gonna loose and I hope they do
So they are mad that they aren't allowed to sympathy strike everything? They literally have to or be sued by anyone that isn't part of the production studio alliance that they are having their contract beef with. Anyone that wasn't part of AMPTP and having their production halted by the strike literally had grounds to sue the union under federal law.
The last writers strike cost me my job making d.v.d's @ the plant where they were created so I really don't have much sympathy for the quality in Hollywood
You mentioned streaming a lot but you don't think any of these will go to the theaters? I'm sure many will go there because the theaters need content too.

Outsourcing to foreign markets while machines take over at home? I wonder if farmers and automakers ever went through this.

I'll bet that a lot of those movies are being filmed in places like montreal, toronto, vancouver, london and other cities in countries around the world that have their own actors guilds/unions that aren't beholden too sag-aftra if they use mostly local talent plus a couple of big name stars.
Unions should be paying wages from their reserves to their members
The guilds have adopted the positions similar to the Vatican back in the day, granting indulgences.
Given the quality of the majority of movies and TV over the last 5-10 years these clowns going on strike and losing their jobs is a good thing.
This is the problem with striking. No one else is obligated to join you. They're allowed to come in and fill in the vacancies in the market that you have left. That's the nature of a competitive free market.
Interest convergeance, the only reason there is a strike, it's because big writer's mony was affected, it's been year where smaller one where on horrible gig economics, but you had to wait until the big paycheck get affected too and suddenly it became "for everyone", using the smaller one as a moral escape. 🤔
As far as I'm concerned, the 'interim agreements' are basically going to make the Studios more willing to let the actors starve out (since they'll suck up the scraps from the Independent studios anyway)
Don't watch a lot of tv, or go to many movies. I do, however have a mountain of DVD's. Hey, "The Wind and The Lion". I haven't watched that in a dog's age! Get the popcorn started!
Pretty sure if these actors did walk away from filming, that would be considered breach of contract as these independent studios, by definition, are not signatories of the SAG-AFTRA agreements that authorize the strike. And guess what? Not a lawyer, but if a big, rich union was telling my staff to illegally walk off the job, I'm suing their deep pockets too for "inducement" or "incitement' to commit fraud, whatever the actual legal term for it is! These waivers are simply a paper-pushing exercise by the union staff to make themselves look useful without putting their own union-specific paychecks on the line by encouraging illegal actions!
Even if it ends up in the same place, the production itself falls under vastly different legal circumstances - and that's the important thing to remember!
I see a bunch of SAG strike posts on Facebook and the comments they receive are EPIC. 🤭🤭🤭
I am so tired of them. I work in IT for my state, our union that I was forced into got us a 3% raise that's like 80 extra dollars a month. That doesnt even cover the cost of my gas to go into work because I am in an IT position that requires me to be onsite more than others. I will gladly go do their jobs for whatever pay they made before this bs.
The average writer or actor makes not that much that's like saying u should be a billionaire because ur peers who also work in IT Steve Jobs, bill gates Elon musk is rich. But the reality is the elite of any industry is the exception not the rule and more than likly u would get a few roles that pay enough to be comfortable struggle for a few months or weeks while constantly going for auditions after a show ends and if ur lucky get a big break that pays u enough for a few months. That big break could be anywhere from main character in a tv show or movie all the way down to a side character in a popular soap opera
The motto of this strike has been very clear; everyone for themselves. The backstabbing is becoming more apparent to where even folks who don't pay full attention notice.
I wonder what this will mean for films and shows that studios were desperately banking on? I doubt they'll be wholly unaffected. Neither side will come out of this mess unhurt. But the ones striking who won't be reasonable look like they'll be the most affected. And I agree that the being unable to work part will make for some very, very sour grapes with the little guys.
No one is looking out for anybody who's not themselves anymore. You'd have to be out of your gourd to not cover your ass now, of all times.
heck SAG seems to be trying to use AFTRA as expendable peons right now.
@@marhawkman303 That's not something I considered, but it wouldn't be a surprise to me if that's SAG's strategy.
I'm hoping other countries' film markets start booming now that Hollywood is creating a void.
What im hearing is "please replace us with AI"
Maybe it's a pscyop to get UBI
Same here.
U.S. Copyright Office: "Sorry, movie studio, your AI-written script cannot be copyrighted. Didn't your copyright/IP lawyers tell you this?"
@@primmakinsofis614 ; That would stop them from going with AI but on the other hand. AI can work faster, smarter and make multi storylines. So it'll be interesting to see if they choose many profitable stories or go with copyrights which would give money for just one story for a while.
Besides. They will try to copyright it anyways. Maybe claim that humans had to change it some. Or make the AI itself the copyright thing. The bottom-line is that copyrights will be abused for a few more years.
@@facelessone6555 I think technically you can actually copyright a PERFORMANCE even if you can't copyright the script though. IP law is weird and screwy like that.
Oh no please don’t strike. Late night with Colbert and the View is going off air.😂😂😂😂🍿
Why would a Actor that has a Agent be in a Union...
Seems like it would be contrary to the Actors best interest...
Every time these entitled stains who have destroyed entertainment flap their gums about their work and money, i picture the Alan Partridge shrug meme.
Huh. I thought AI was taking the Hollywood writing jobs. Maybe this is some kind of temp deal.

Kirk Cameron was on Fireproof
For the past 5 years I've been more entertained by the drama behind Hollywood, than the drama coming out of Hollywood.
Guess all these actors are gonna need to learn to code!
🤣🤣🤣
Back to the strike…
Here we go.. 🍿
hopefully this means that in the coming years more studios will start to pop up in other parts of the country or world and slowly let Hollywood root away.
As long as blumhouse and dreamworks still operate, ok.
Sarah Silverman just got the bad news that she is not an A lister 😂
the entertainment mafia demands you pay tribute if you want to commit crime.
*Insert The Nanny' laugh*
Let them fight.
Not to mention, those Indy flicks can get made and then bought by big studios to sell as their own.
And WGA will be screwed if SAG agrees first.
Also all those striking were likely not working that much and holding down another job so really they never should've banked on residuals anyways.
However fairness in working? That was never a thing in Hollywood. Paul Rudd was getting hired. Lowly background nobody wasnt.
Holy shit, they brought back beyond belief. I loved that show so much as a kid I've played episodes for my wife and she fell in love with it
Righteous proposals XD 😆 can't believe they manage to spout something like that
The actors and writers seem to think thus is a general strike. It is not, it is a strike against AMtip (As Geeky pronounces it).
This doesn't mean the entire industry is shutdown.
For example. If the UAW strikes against GM, that doesn't mean Ford, Stellaris, or Toyota are on strike.
Same goes for non AMtip productions.
Half of theose projects are probably the international project arm of the same studios they are striking against.
At least half of those independent 'companies' called the same name as the title of the film. Plus a film called 'untitled Guy Ritchie project' and his stuff is not exactly small. You may have a point.
I knew about The Chosen because I was on pins and needles hoping they would get the waiver. Interesting that When Calls the heart is an independent production too. I know it has a lot of fans.
Finally, something good to watch.
The production staff and on set workers get to continue to work? Hopefully less known actors get some roles.
Yeah this is probably a good thing. These million to hundred millionaires actors and managers/agencies gonna loose and I hope they do
So nice of them to step asside and let new writers have a shot, never knew Hollywood had an alturisic side.
So they are mad that they aren't allowed to sympathy strike everything? They literally have to or be sued by anyone that isn't part of the production studio alliance that they are having their contract beef with. Anyone that wasn't part of AMPTP and having their production halted by the strike literally had grounds to sue the union under federal law.
Of course your undercover Disney agents. Why didn't I see it sooner?
99% of Hollywood sucks at their job. Darwin needs to step in and purge this industry.
Woke hypocrisy? Woke hypocrites? I would have never expected the woke to be hypocrites.
There are always libraries, local theatre and your boomer parents’ DVD collections.
I'm doing the razorfist dance that I have a large physical media just for thus occasion
The last writers strike cost me my job making d.v.d's @ the plant where they were created so I really don't have much sympathy for the quality in Hollywood
@@bobbombar6711Hey. Hope you’re doing ok out there.
Got laid off again just recently but then I am able to be a supervisor in warehouse and or manage same now so it just is job hunting that sucks
@@bobbombar6711 Ah. I hear you.
Yeah. Job hunting’s never fun.
Let them fight!
Meanwhile both us and our future A.I. overlords are sitting back and eating popcorn.
You mentioned streaming a lot but you don't think any of these will go to the theaters? I'm sure many will go there because the theaters need content too.
The strike is still going on? I haven’t noticed.
Hollywood can just wait until the writers lose their apartments and they'll be more willing to play ball
