Huh. The circus is going on strike.
If the bread (food service workers) goes on strike too, maybe we’ll see some real change.
The real strike now needs to be sfx and postprod. At the moment studios are banking on what’s in the pipeline
I’m not surprised. There was a tweet from Ed Soloman, one of the writers on Men In Black, some time ago now, showing his yearly statement of residuals on that film.
Despite making almost $600m on a $90m budget and spawning a franchise, he was informed by the statement that the film was a loss for Sony and the studio is still in the red.
At one point he mentions a well known actress making 1/7th the salary of her male co-star, and that she was making just under 4K a week.
So there’s clearly money to go around if the dudes can get 28k a week, and the “shows or movies are losing millions” argument the accountants and tax dealers use makes no sense
What’s up with the writing - seems kinda weird, are the tweets real? I don’t have twitter so i (semmingly?) can’t check myself.
I like John Cusack, he’s a great actor and seems like a decent human being, so no big deal either way but just wondering what’s up with that.
What do you mean? What’s wrong with the writing?
Yeah it’s not the worst. Could use some editing, and it’s a little run-on, but otherwise alright.
Here’s the first tweet https://twitter.com/johncusack/status/1679695541012254722 referenced from https://news.yahoo.com/john-cusack-rails-against-legendary-101005394.html
I mean, John Cusack has always been kind of a weirdo
The whole family has always seemed a little weird, they’re great actors though.
Loved Joan, and the cast as a whole, in Toys! Very weird!
I’ve been on his IG page. I think that’s just how he sounds.
agreed, this almost read like a trump post
really, none of this is new. we’ve known all of this for a long, long time, haven’t we?
In the past, when there was a much higher tax on high income earners, instead of paying more in taxes, they would spread the wealth a little more equitably. This was true in Hollywood, in corporations, hell, in working service industry jobs. There were still rich, but so were others. In the past 40 years, we have been experiencing the greatest wealth transfer (over $50 fucking trillion ) from the working class to the 1% ever. And it’s poised to get worse. Anyone who doesn’t support unions and a strongly progressive tax is either ignorant of the history of the US, or an asshole. There is no in between.
