THE STRIKE

My issue with him is coming out and saying he doesn't agree with the strike. He is welcome to think that and is probably one of many in SAG that do. But the fact is that he is in the union and should publicly support them or keep his mouth shut. Coming out and saying you're against the strike does nothing but undermine your own union's bargaining position. Collective action demands collective solidarity.

I don't think Gerwig should be out doing promotion, but she is also a part of the DGA, which is not on strike.

I knew the dga isn’t on strike, but I named her since she’s also part of the wga which is on strike, and it’s not like her movie actually needs her promoting it. I get why he wanted to put a quick post on Facebook or instagram since his show does fewer than 100,000 viewers and Starz had sat on the season for over a year (thus it would have been out before the strike if they weren’t fighting with Lionsgate).

Considering the talk of waiting until September for when people start losing homes I have little faith a deal will be reached.

Quote

Warner Bros. Discovery execs claim the Hollywood strikes have  saved the studio somewhere in the “low $100 million range."

Variety says ...

[elizium]

That's really not that much, especially when you take into account lost future earnings from the inevitable delays and cancellations to come

[Curt McGirt]

Meanwhile, catering companies are laying off half their staff and going from 10-12 jobs a day to 1-2. 

This is hurting far more people than it saves money for these pricks. 

[Bustronaut]

The WGA has announced they will honor all picket lines even if they get a deal, so the only way to end this is for both deals to go through.

"Btw, this is the definition of acronym" is very unintentionally funny

I’m genuinely curious as to how X-Pac got WGA health insurance.

Went looking for answers on his IMDB page and… my god that cinematographer credit. 

[Contentious C]

Yeeeeeeeeeep, that's the one I figured it was.

[Dolphman 3000]

His WGA credit isn't from porn, lmao

He only got insured in the past couple years and got his body fixed - keep in mind that IMDB credits aren't comprehensive and are often inaccurate

He's in a Glenn Danzig produced horror movie from a few years ago, so he probably co-wrote it and that's how he got in.

I'm all for whatever gets people the coverage they need, even if they have to work with Glenn Danzig.

I have a hard time believing Danzig let ANYONE co-write anything involving his participation.

Yeah, but you forget that X-Pac won the right to do so by defeating Danzig in a Guitar on a Pole match.

I mean Waltman probably has him beat in the height department.

As someone who saw that movie (VEROTIKA) at the Los Angeles premiere, I can confirm that is 100 percent a pure unfiltered "vision" perpetrated on the audience by Glenn Danzig. If anyone did try to give notes or suggestions, they were very much NOT listened to. 

One of the greatest movie going experiences of my life. The laughter within the theater started 2 minutes into the movie and was pretty consistent throughout the whole movie. Made even more hilarious by the fact that Glenn was there in person for a Q&A and it was his birthday too.

Happy Birthday Glenn Danzig! Your present this year is everyone in the room laughing at your movie. 

EDIT: I also would be stunned if this was a union production.

I just remember the comic version/tie in. 

[Curt McGirt]

Oh god... Verotika. Me and my buddy watched that one night. We could not possibly drink enough. And I mean, we had a Misfits cover band for over a decade, but that shit...

EDIT: Whatever happened to that vampire western with him in it that was supposed to come out?

"Death Rider In The House of Vampires" - I swear it had a few horror festival screenings a while back but still no official distro since either on physical or digital media. I havent heard a peep on that either in a while.

Congrats on not dying from alcohol poisoning during your viewing of Verotika.
