[trekkiepetrelli]

#WinonaRyder fell in love with the world of film way before she appeared on the big screen.

Now, decades into her career, she's coming to terms with the past-while defining her future.

Shouldn't they have people working for them checking that? People who aren't the actors?

[alexlover14]

It's pretty much a script editors job - although do they even have them in US TV or would it just be a writers assistant?

[celja]

Check headcaseheidi's reply to me, apparently they were too stingy for that.

[headcaseheidi]

they only had a budget of 30 million an ep and those mean job applicants wouldn’t do it for free so sadly no :(

I'm not sure what ended up happening, but there was a job posting going around looking for a script coordinator to work for 4hrs/week which is wayyy against the 871 contract.

Doing your research before a project? Outrageous idea!

[silverstarry]

What makes this even more ridiculous is that it's the year 2022 and things like google and wikipedia exist. I would understand making errors like this for a movie or tv show that was made pre-2000 when people didn't have access to information like that literally in their pockets. But to not bother checking basic things like when a song came out in this day and age is beyond lazy.

[celja]

Right? Like fine if they want to use 80s songs they themselves like or whatever but geez how hard is it to google and check the exact year?

[headcaseheidi]

welp this shitfan just went from lazy to insidious

completely forgot they dodged accountability for this recently:

Oh look, another thing that a Script Coordinator could have helped them with if they had hired one full time instead of trying to break a union contract. https://t.co/usc7weRanZ

Wasn’t Stranger Things trying to hire an “on call” “part time” script coordinator? https://t.co/NEH03M3VjL

Did you know. That if you hire a qualified, full time, script coordinator and writer’s assistant and pay them well they will tell you when you forget a character’s birthday.

what exactly were they spending their 30 mil per episode on?? vintage ecto coolers from ebay?? shdjdjdjdjdjmr

[silverstarry]

Budget breakdown:

$10,000 - ecto coolers on ebay
$0 - script coordinator
$0 - writing assistant

[headcaseheidi]

shame their generous offer of being on call all week while receiving only 4 hours of pay was ignored

assistants must be kicking themselves for missing this networking opp. i bet the duffers would’ve even shared links to their private letterboxd ‘80s recs, which no doubt included the classic teenage mutant ninja turtles*

(*1990)

[jellyfishhh]

awww it must be so hard for them to remember details with all that money they have

[celja]

Fucking Stranger Things fan ficton writers (and readers) and better at fact checking their works lol.

[headcaseheidi]

tbh seeing those kids in the replies has been heartening, esp considering the “who cares!?? you’re old” thesis statement of their peers

praying netflix doesn’t see all the boot-licking tweets defending this shit and use it as an excuse to cudgel even more crew jobs in favor of new ones like:

“‘80s dance contest tiktok influencer, unpaid internship to keep the set authentic to the upside down’s economy, but you can take selfies with your fav cast members” 🙃

[trekkiepetrelli]

doing that shit for free bc they're that passionate meanwhile...
