I don't think the studios have really shown any move to coming back to the negotiating table so I can see this strike lasting a LONG time...

[myhipusername]

they think this is going to end in their favor 🤭🤭 they would rather be public enemy number one than just listen to their employees that make them the $$

like how do they really think this is going to play out? wga played some moves during the 2007 strike, i wonder if (or moreso how) theyre going to try to break up the amptp a bit

Is this allowed? It looks like something that needs to be addressed during negotiations.

The new HBO Max (MAX) has eliminated writer/director credits in their interface in favor of a vague "Creators." This is what Raging Bull currently looks like. It's so fucking over. pic.twitter.com/gPveQ469GB

This is terrifying.

Of course! And yes, this is so fucked.

Demand item? Try suit. Contracts under which those were made, and under which those persist and available commercially likely require credits to be not like this.

i always enjoy seeing mark ruffalos activism and the passion he has for community organizing

[belle_chouette]

he’s just glad to be having this conversation 🙏🏼

[ladycyndra]

Its time.

Look at Chris Pine, he does not even have a social media account to show his support yet he's there with his father. Truly the superior Chris.

This whole thing is truly scary. Like, maybe not for highly paid celebs but certainly for writers or any person who works in the industry. I truly hope the demands can be met. 2007 was a shitshow and this one looks like it can bring a bigger shitstorm.
