Hollywood SAG-AFTRA strikes are over but as Fran Drescher led the guild seemingly more concerned with her own image than getting everyone back to work. Was the strike worth it? Did the actors guild get their target priorities or worse, did they turn down a better offer than the one they accepted? But what did you think of the strikes? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

Unions hold value to the workers only for a short duration, but in due time, unions become corrupted beyond reason and do the bidding of the company instead of protecting the workers, and often times they look to whatever best fills the pockets of union members to the detriment of the workers, just how many times must this be proven accurate. When it comes to unions that have been established for longer than two years, I'm fully in favor of scabs because the union is going to look for what's best for the union and to establish protections for the company and not the workers that fund their comfortable occupations of useless "busy body" work. There should be law regarding unions, around a two year mark the union must be abolished. If a need for another union comes up the entire process might be ignored by the workers and companies coming to a compromise themselves, lest another union is established and the two year timeframe begins with new people operating said union, if there are problems ongoing at this two year mark, there could be statutes created to keep the union until an allotted amount of time passes, at which point the workers vote if the union should be replaced. Countless Americans understand what "useless busy body work" is, countless in government leech off the taxpayers offering the people nothing of value, often times hired in by friends and family for a lucrative employment within government while they offer the people nothing but a burden. Decades of this practice has led us to this precipice, where the government is so bloated that taxation is being multiplied to keep the bloat going, a rot that festers. Look at Canada when a large percentage of government officials went on strike the year prior!! While they were on strike, they requested the citizens come to strike for them, they couldn't be bothered to show up and strike for themselves which is quite telling of these workers and their work ethics, their "worth" or "value" was shown to the people then and there!! While they were on strike, the government continued on without issue, those employees on strike proved to the Canadian people that their employment in the government held no value, they just leeched off the taxpayers all while the rest of government carried on without missing deadlines, no hinderance found across all of Canadian government, all those government officials on strike did was prove to the people why they all should have been terminated. Instead of that, they received their demands and continued to be a burden upon the taxpayers, because the people apparently no longer have a voice of their own. The unions care little about the workers in due time, they are supposed to represent the workers but not long afterwards they're corrupted after being established, like clockwork this proves to be the case as unions remain long past the point they were needed, they only become even more oppressive upon the workers year by year. This is why so many are against joining established unions, because anyone looking at what benefits the union offers can see the union has become a bunch of freeloaders exploiting the working class, board members enjoying lucrative salaries making decisions that further harm the workers all too readily. Also, unions seem to be incapable of getting what the workers request and demand, their negotiation tactics seem to be negligent if not backwards because the union does not hire legitimate employees capable of such work, it becomes chalk-filled with nepotism, favoritism and pay for play, a union board seat is one of the most sought out gigs in America because it's a job that requires little work, their salaries come from a collective of workers funding their salaries to do useless busy body work that is not needed, often times this busy body work forces the company to fire workers, makes demands upon the workers that make their occupations near impossible. Unions rarely benefit the workers outside their creation and a short duration being useful, after that, the union is usually bought off, union members entrapped and exploited, unions hold no value to workers after about two years, look to any union that has remained past two years. Often times, unions are yet another negligent taxation upon the workers, and that tax is often used to fund the DNC every election cycle, even if the majority of workers want their union to fund a different political interest the union nearly always ignores the workers and funds the DNC as if they are spitting in the faces of the workers on purpose. Unions are similar to secondary revenue streams, where somebody begins a nonprofit or charity to organize if favor of some random issue, only to be used to extort funds from those donating and they double dip, their work now has a remedial increase from alternative funding from operating as an official of said nonprofit organization that is a 401c2 as opposed to 401c3 (I could be mistaken but it's something like that), the 401c2 is a for-profit driven charity as opposed to the 401c3 which is a non-profit driven charity. Look at Oprah's attempts to fundraise on behalf of Maui after the wildfire, her attempts were to go into a for-profit charity hosted in California, where multiple executives received 300k plus yearly salaries to oversee the alleged non-profit. To add, Oprah's attempts were to oversee the people of Maui's fundraising in order to refuse them the ability to rebuild where their homes were burned to the ground, her and the Rock received quite a bit of money but other fund-raising efforts that were directly in the hands of the Maui people effected by the wildfires already superseded their efforts. We do not hear the government aiding these people they are too busy extorting the taxpayers to fund war in Ukraine and now Israel, we hear about the local officials planning to manufacture a 15-minute city instead of allowing the locals to rebuild, the free housing of the residents effected slowly but surely moving them further and further away from their land in Maui, all provisions and charity being brought to the residents in Maui turned away so that Blue Cross is allowed to monopolize the tragedy. It's all seemingly corrupt, all made in favor of for-profit interests, all because of the connections established by elitists looking out for one another, and that type of corruption persists because the people have had their voices stolen, the power that the American people once held has somehow been hijacked by those in government, it's truly an oddity to say the least.

Re: Fran Drescher being more concerned about her own image and legacy thing, it reminds me of how things work for officers in the USAF. In order to get promoted, you basically need to prove that you have leadership skills by showing that you made changes to whatever unit you are leading (this happens with the NCO and SNCO ranks as well, but nowhere near as bad). You can't just be put into the leadership position, see that things are working, and only do little things that help make your troops' lives easier while staying out of their way. No, you have to upend everything so that you can put your mark on the unit and show that you made a difference. And given how performance reports were written for my entire 20+ year stint in the USAF, even if you managed to complete fuck up the element under your command, your performance report will be written in such a way that it looks like you single-handedly saved them from themselves. As an enlisted person, that shit is annoying as hell because means that the SOP isn't so standard, and is constantly changing. As many good officers as I served under, really if anything runs smoothly in the USAF, it's in spite of officers. This is literally immediately what came to my mind when you mentioned that it looks like it's about image and legacy.

It seems unlikely that any leading actor is concerned about being replaced by an AI. And replacing extras with AI has been done for 20 years. If movies want scale, but extras cost money, then you have to sacrifice scale or alter the rules around extras. Ben-Hur supposedly had 10, 000 extras who presumably were paid... it has to be nothing, right? Lord of the Rings CGIed a bunch of orcs. The whole point of CGI was to do stuff that was impossible or save money around practical effects and set construction. There's no dodging it. As is, you get TV shows where it seems like scripts decisions are based around "if you give him a line or use him for ten seconds more, he'll need to be paid at a different rate". Film and TV are already in a tight bind that seems to compromise the product. Now the actors require that you lessen the spectacle to protect people who are most susceptible to change. We didn't have protections for tens of thousands of workers replaced by machines, but an actor deserves protection in a way that a factory worker or farmhand doesn't, I guess. If an independent studio is told you can film this story for 30 million, but you're not allowed to use technology, so you're obliged to shoot it for 100 million, the film is not getting made. Or maybe they film the thing in belarus to cut costs or something. So they have to choose between scanning faces or ballooning budgets. So the silly thing is being resistant to it at all. Scanning the face of Mia the attractive bartender or just generating a synthetic human might be the thing keeping production in the US.

People also often are under the illusion that being a leader (lets say, CEO of a large company) is mostly about power, when it also is a huge amount of work. I think there are much more women capable of doing the emontionally controlled, analytical part. But - like most men, actually - they are not willing to sacrifice most parts of their life in order to both attain and retain a position like that. Because working 12+ hours a day, at least 6 days a week, IS a massive sacrifice. Women statistically value things like personal relationships (friends, relatives) and recreational activities (Hobbies, social activities, reading, etc.) more than men do on average. Things that you pretty much have to forego or at least minimize when going for a big leadership position. And i dont blame women for not being willing to make those sacrifices, especially since it seems much healthier for the human psyche to NOT sacrifice in that regard.

Alita - Battle Angel. If it weren't for the big eyes, many people would have had a hard time recognizing that Alita was animated. The film came out before A.I. has made this leap in development. What would now be possible in the hands of a professional? Or not even professional. There are so many people out there with ideas and passion who can "magic" things in their homes that Hollywood wouldn't think of these days.

In the end it seemed more like a power play by the leading guild members than something to help the working actors. Case in point, that bonus they wanted that had to do with the number of streaming subs, and which would go to the guild to be distributed as they saw fit. And in the end deal they did still manage to keep hold of some control, with them taking in 25% of actors' residuals to distribute. I mean, a bunch of the guild leaders who pushed for the strike are either people whose main work is behind them and just do one off appearances sometimes (i.e. Drescher) or who never had many credits (like Suzanne Burkhead, who has just one 1980s credit, from an ep of Dallas).

Fran looked like an idiot presenting that subscriber fee crap. That didn't make any sense. We're not subscribing to SAG. I laughed when Netflix walked away from that one. And on top of that, they have put an enormous amount of foreign series and films on their service that are actually way better than anything Hollyweird is doing.

It's always funny when someone speaks about "intellect" while sorely lacking on that front.

The actors and writers literally struck during the worst time in entertainment industry history. There has literally never been a time where more people hated people who create movies than today. And these assholes struck and won. Of course movies are only going to go even further downhill. They literally can't get better. They just struck not let them!

What this strike did was tell producers to invest even more in artificial intelligence and CGI. Oh, the actors were getting screwed over streaming, and they had some legitimate points. But that ship sailed. You will see more productions moving out of Hollywood and even out of the country, more non-union productions, and more use of no-name actors for mo-cap and even voicework, on work-for-hire contracts. They thoroughly screwed the blue collar workers and a lot of small businesses such as prop companies. The best way for the union to increase pay is to reduce the number of working actors, because the real problem is excess supply. The union has definitely provided an incentive to resolve that problem by showing the producers that human actors cannot be relied upon. Hope those C and D list actors start learning coding if they want to work. Frannie's legacy will eventually be seen as that of destroying the union.

"to lead with Empathy and Intelect " For some reason I think she forgot Both in the persuit of Coin in the short term

The strikes, much like the pandemic, only served to speed up what was already happening in Hollywood. Streaming blew up the business model, and now everyone’s trying to figure out how to keep their bag while the pie shrinks. Hollywood’s heading towards a painful contraction in the next few years, and with a looming IATSE strike around the corner I would encourage anyone who’s still there to get out while you can

This is why I think the streaming bubble will burst. Everyone is into streaming now, but there isn't enough money long-term to Mae it work. People only have so much to spend and the money needed for content (especially original content) will eventually dry up. Commercial television relies on advertisers, who have lots of money, and it has propped up the television industry for decades. One advertising company can keep a television station afloat longer than individuals paying for streaming services (especially the vast number of streaming services) can.

Wait so the problem wasn't even actor wages, but UNION revenue?

When I was working, I was fairly specialized in my trade, and made my boss wheelbarrows of cash, so he treated me very well. Better than a beaurecratic organization full of self serving Marxists would. In fact, I have been retired for 7 years now, and my former employer spends 8 hours driving to come visit me during the summer. Can't see a union rep doing that. In fact, I can't see a union member doing ANYTHING above and beyond their collective agreements. Certainly nothing to innovate or Excell.

all the other insanity aside.. the fact that the article author (or Fran herself?) doesn't know the difference between a plushy heart and the absolute nightmare fuel that is a furby is the most egregious thing in this story.. Plus they launched in 1998, so the craze started before the "00s". Also, they could steal your soul, so using one as a lie detector would be extremely intimidating. I can't wait for the actual crews' unions to go on strike now, since AI will eventually make set builders, camera people, etc obsolete along with the whinny actors...

Disparu, I've got soooo many comments regarding this whole thing but one observation that struck me very funny is that Drescher wants to pay actors streaming rssiduals based on show popularity rather than it being streamed...while condemning the studios for their bonus schemes which are essentially the same thing. Wtf?? She had a small window of popularity (why I don't know...she was pretty but there were are other actresses who were pretty, AND could act well, AND were enjoyable). These days, she appeared incompetent at best, and gave off the vibe of kind of a kid trying to fudge their way through an oral report for the class about the book they were supposed to read but didn't. And no professional in a billion-dollar business displays stuffed cope toys with pride. This was a joke. I just dismissed her back in the 80s. This whole strike has made her repulsive.

Seems to me both the actors and writers think they should participate when things are profitable but if the project or streaming platforms lose money? Not a chance. THEY shouldn't be in any position to take any risk. Fran appears to be one of those people that Elon eluded to as proclaiming to do good while doing evil.

I worked for Fran on her TV last show. She was lovely BUT THIS ACTORS STRIKE WAS A NIGHTMARE. I just quit my wonderful career because being out of work as a set painter for 7 months destroyed my credit! I am broke. I just went back to work for 2 weeks and now we are on Christmas/ News Yers break!! WTF?!!! I AM SOOOO DONE WITH HOLLYWOOD!!!! THANKS FRAN!!! AND......this deal really is no winner, they will have to do this ALL OVER AGAIN in 3 years!!!

The thing the actors are clearly getting wrong about the use of AI is the simple fact that they think *they* will be used forever, instead of being straight up replaced. Clearly, if the studios could avoid having to ever pay humans for the work, they are going to save hundreds of millions every year. They have been hoping to make digital actors for years, but the early attempts didn't catch on. Now, they see a possibility to make it happen. Why wouldn't they? No upfront payments, no residuals, no likeness issues for products. It's nothing but positives for the studio!

The one thing that was a threat to their entire existence as an industry, AI, they disregarded. Good job. You made yourself less desirable and left the alternative clear for the taking. In a few years, there’ll be no strike that can set any weight against what’s coming. But hey! You’re getting paid a bit more this year. Maybe you can start saving up.

Hollywood purposely cultivated mystique around celebrities back in the day through various means, including controlling their personal lives and what they could say on the record, when and to whom. This led to them being seen as mysterious, inaccessible, flawless - perfect vehicles for common people to look up to as small gods, used to hawk luxury wares, clothing/beauty products etc. as well as set trends when needed. This carefully crafted image has been permanently shattered with the advent of social media, after a number of celebrities were determined to show us who they really were for clout or goodboy points. This is what happens when you buy into your own hype, and the rest of us are better for it.

Why do people base their opinions of anyone based on their profession? There are doctors who are terrible human beings, there are corrupt lawyers, and lying journalists. Yet no one ever holds them to account. There are some honest politicians, good cops, dedicated teachers and good, hard working, talented actors, yet people are negative towards their profession as a group. It is someone's character, not their job or bank balance that defines them. Actors have as much right to enumeration in their profession as anyone else does. Just because you don't rate them doesn't mean anything. People need to stop basing their opinion of a person on their occupation.

Never thought I'd hear the words 'Furby' and 'dignity' in the same sentence.

I’m a man. Im a leader in my work. I’m empathetic. Or, at least I believe that I am. I have a good working relationship with the staff, and I’ve been told that my methods are fair. The staff respond well to my choices, and normally thank me for the support I provide. I use the intellect at my disposal every day. I may not always be the smartest person in the room but, sometimes, I am. I may lack intelligence on any grand scale, or in s way that would impress a truly brilliant person, but I have always taken time to understand my own motives and choices, while listening to others opinions, and making what seems to be the intelligent choice. Saying that men don’t use these two things, this is not an empathetic statement and it’s absolutely not an intelligent statement. This is a statement from a person with a very narrow grasp of people, a very narrow grasp of business dynamics, and nothing that they actually want to say. This is filler, this is regurgitated slop that only the most easily enticed fools would view as sensible language from a leader. This is the statement of a deranged celebrity that has nothing original, nothing substantial, and nothing of note, to say.
