George Clooney, Ben Affleck, Scarlett Johansson and a group of other A-listers gave a proposal to SAG-AFTRA leadership on Tuesday, which they hoped would help end the 98-day actors strike.
But the proposal was rejected on Wednesday by the union’s negotiating committee, which is sticking to the demands it has spelled out over many weeks of negotiations.
In other words, neither of these proposals addresses the problems that have kept actors on strike for 98 days. Those issues are: a union proposal to pay actors a share of streaming revenue, an increase in minimums to keep pace with inflation, and regulations on artificial intelligence.
From the standpoint of the SAG-AFTRA Negotiating Committee, however, the proposal appears to weaken the sense of unity and commitment to the committee’s proposals — which is key to reaching the best possible deal. It also suggests that high-earning actors should somehow step in to pay for things that the studios have refused to pay for — thereby lessening the pressure on the studios to pony up.
Not Scarlett Johansson how am I supposed to sustain my parasocial relationship
Her response about the Ghost In The Shell casting thing fuckin' sucked too.
And her being the face of Sodastream for a while, which is a company that operates from an illegal Israeli settlement.
I, for one, do not have a parasocial relationship with Scarlett Johansson. But I do wonder what she's doing right now.
Maybe she's bored and shitposting on some random Internet forum. Who knows.
never trust the aristocracy of any industry
they will try and fuck the rest over without failCan we get some new fucking actors? It seems like the A-listers stay the same for decades. Who the fuck still wants to watch Clooney's smug unlikable ass?
They exist and they want to work, its not like people stop dreaming or losing interest in becoming an actor, its just that these A-lists are pushed by studios, they literaly represent the capitalist influence in film, the desire to make money without risk, without investing into anything new, the perpetual money making machine.
Nobody asked for 137 years old fucking Indy Jones movie, but its the same reason imo the planet will be destroyed, we will be living in caves underground trying to survive WW3 and you bet somewhere some fucking dipshit will be making some kind of Disney movie based on existing IPs. Replace the end of history with the end of culture and its where we're at imo.

It's just residuals for 10s of thousands of actors, how much could it cost? 12 dollars?
The thing about Clooney is he's on the director/producer side half of the time.
OMG, Ryan Gosling, we have so much chemistry together!
We should do a movie together sometimes.
A-listers say...
Look, we understand what they are going through but we've got our revenue streams to consider. We're taking a hit here too.
Correct. The WGA won a new contract and the writers strike ended on October 9. The actors strike is still happening.
ah yes: scabarchassus cloons
get owned you scabby dingus, man could not work again period, why the fuck would anyone listen to this ass
The industry bends over backwards to make sure they get what they want and make everyone else to mask up so their star won’t get sick. But they can’t even lend a hand and help the people that make their movies.
