Paget Brewster (an actress who has been in the business since the early 90s) just tweeted out that she was paid $990 for Criminal Minds Evolution that was broadcasted across SEVENTY countries what the fuck?? FUCK HOLLYWOOD AND TV EXECS!!

Support The WGA, Support SAG- AFTRA. Actors and Writers are humans too.

Edit : Right everyone I read this wrong coz i’m a bit of a dumbass. @storiesofsvu and @blackbird-brewster both commented and corrected it! Pls read the comments and reblogs of this before taking my word for it, she didn’t get paid $990 for CME. It was *residuals* over the entire series.

Ron Perlman Calls Out Studio Exec Who Said Strike Will Cause Home Losses: ‘Be Careful, Motherf–ker’

Actor Ron Perlman expressed his strong disapproval toward an unnamed studio executive who suggested, in an interview with Deadline on Tuesday, that the WGA strike should continue until union members face financial hardships and lose their homes.

Perlman mentioned being aware of the executive’s identity and residence, cautioning him to exercise caution.

“One thing, before I get off this… the motherf–ker who said we’re gonna keep this thing going until people start losing their houses and their apartments, listen to me, motherf–ker, there’s a lot of ways to lose your house. Some of it is financial, some of it is karma, and some of it is just figuring out who the f–k said that — and we know who said that — and where he f–king lives. There’s a lot of ways to lose your house. You wish that on people, you wish that families starve, while you’re making $27 f–king million a year for creating nothing? Be careful, motherf–ker. Be really careful, ’cause that’s the kind of s–t that stirs s–t up. Peace out.”

"But no new content 😭!!" that means jack shit. We have several literal decades worth of content we can watch or rewatch. The writers and now the actors too are not only fighting for their livelihoods but for the futures and the soul of their industries.

Fuck new content, fuck the executives and producers and powers that be who make millions upon millions while the people, who create the content that make them rich, can barely make ends meet.

Here's some suggestions to anyone who doesn't know what to watch;

Nostalgia rewatch; watch old favourites, shows and movies you haven't seen in years but that stayed with you, the ones that mattered to you.

Watch the shows your parents didn't let you watch growing up because they thought the show was "too mature" for you.

Watch the shows and movies people have recommended to you that you never found time for before.

Watch indie films!!!

Look at different genres than what you've watched before and give them a go.

Try films and shows from other countries and/or in other languages. There's dubs and subtitles available and these shows and movies can be just as good if not better than their American and/or English speaking counterpart.

And remember when watching shows, that you do not have to binge them all at once, you can have your own personal tv schedule and watch say an episode a week like you would've done when/if they aired before streaming

Look at some older films and shows, why does it matter if it's in black and white or the camera quality is lower than 4k and hd, so long as it's good? And so many of those shows and films, while not perfect, have aged better than shows that have come out in the last decade, like the golden girls for instance has aged so much better than say glee (ok many many many shows aged better than glee but let's be real for a second, music was better when artists were terrified of the Glee cast doing a better version of their song on the show. I do still wish it was a show my mom didn't let me watch tho, lmao glee was fine but no, her twelve year old being obsessed with Les mis and rewatching it religiously was cause for concern 😂😭 I was just as obsessed with glee for seasons 1-4 especially).

It's ok to indulge your inner child and rewatch the classics tm. The shows and movies you grew up with. Rewatch the shows that got you through sick days from school, the tv movies you remember watching premiere, the cartoons that MADE your Saturday mornings, etc.

On the topic of animation, that's literally an unlimited genre you can tap into, which rarely gets the recognition and respect it deserves.

Don't be afraid to watch the one season wonders, the shows that networks and streamers cancelled after one season in spite of strong reviews and good ratings. Or the shows that ended abruptly around the season 3 or 5 mark because networks and streamers cancelled them because they didn't want to negotiate contracts and have to pay the actors and writers more. Get angry, remember what the actors and writers are fighting for.

The privilege of older shows that either concluded naturally or that writers were given a heads up on might be on it's last season is that you get closure, unlike with the above. That might not mean an ending is good but a bad ending is better than a cliffhanger. There's always fix its fics for a bad ending. And if the ending is good, it's typically GOOD in my experience. The fear of a cliffhanger and zero closure has already turned many against watching new content until the show is renewed for another season or is fully wrapped (and fans don't hate the ending).

Watch the shows that were in their day or are popular or critically acclaimed, they usually hold up to the hype.

Watch the old shows and movies your favs were on/in before they were your favs.

Try a soap or a telenovela, they can be entertaining af (holby city my love, Tuesdays have never been the same since the BBC robbed me of you).

If you liked a reboot or a revival of a show, try the original (in certain cases, the og is even better, see boy meets world v girl meets world).

If you like period dramas, try shows and films from other countries based on their history. A lot of times when people are telling their own history it goes far better than when Hollywood tries it (see the many times Hollywood has actors brought in because producers think they're good for box office and they then go on to butcher the accent their character should have, see Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Meryl Streep and so many others who have absolutely butchered the Irish accent over the years for instance. There's also many many instances even recently of just blatant whitewashing see Matt Damon as the last samurai...).

Listen to recommendations, watch the shows and movies you know your family and friends loved but you never got around to watching.

I stand with SAG-AFTRA and WGA. Feel free to share these graphics around to show your support for all the creatives fighting for better wages, career security, and the very future of their industry.

[the-jaffster-official]

THIS SEEMS RELEVANT TO PEOPLE, ESPECIALLY HERE. THE SAG IS ASKING THAT COSPLAYERS DON'T COSPLAY CHARACTERS FROM STRUCK STUDIOS AD IT HELPS PROMOTE THEM. IT'S GETTING REAL, PEOPLE.

Edit: This page should explain the situation better, if anyone's interested.

Behold

i am so tired of this. we are so tired of this. between Bob Iger's garbage comments,that one executive straight out sayin they'll wait out the strikes till people start losin their homes an now this. how long do they think they can keep treating the creatives they get rich off while doin nothin themselves like this? till when will they do an say whatever they want an keep gettin away with it? not long now.. not long. not anymore.

also Karla Ortiz keeps kickin butt❤

here's a link to the Have I Been Trained website for you to click

it basically creates a protective layer on the image that prevents AI from stealin it. Very important. all the info is on the site.

Fewer new shows and movies releasing might actually be good for fandom as a whole.

Shows nowadays get binge watched right away, people talk about it for a few weeks and then there's at most a few core people staying within the active fandom to still talk about it, produce headcanons, fanfiction, fanart etc. So joining in later leaves you with baerly any fandom experience and people you can talk to, because everyone else seems to have already moved on / isn't interested anymore / is busy with new things.

So forcing us to watch older stuff and actually taking the time to enjoy it instead of switching to the newest media right away actually sounds very relaxing to me.

And there's plenty of older shows that still deserve attention.

[macabresymphonies]

If anyone’s still on the fence on the whole AI thing, I’ll assure you that anything that involves creative media that is hated by actual creatives and loved by tech bros and OOT CEOs is 100% a bad thing.

[catgirl-kaiju]

honestly, it'd be awesome if all of these strikes led to an eventual general strike. i don't think it will happen but i want to believe
