Let it be know that the #wga proposed: "Regulate use of artificial intelligence on MBA- covered projects: AI can’t write or rewrite literary material; can’t be used as source material; and MBA-covered material can’t be used to train AI." and the studios rejected the proposal.

It’s strange that True Grit isn’t a more beloved Coen Bros movie. Bridges is incredible, Damon is such a chameleon that I forget it’s him and Hailee Steinfeld should’ve got an Oscar nomination. Every time I watch this I’m amazed by it all over again. Top Tier Coens. No question.

Ben Stiller’s directing career is fascinating. Reality Bites, Cable Guy, Zoolander, Tropic Thunder, Walter Mitty, Escape from Dannemora and Severance. Not to mention the projects he almost did. Even if they didn’t all work he’s a bolder filmmaker than we give him credit for.

Nothing compares to seeing a film projected on a giant screen with great sound. Anyone who thinks otherwise doesn’t love movies. It’s meant to be a communal art. Every comedy is better with people laughing together or horror movies with screaming…or action movies or…

The strike is costing the studios approximately $30 million a day in lost output. Meaning in the 15 days the WGA has been on strike they’ve lost an estimated $450 million dollars aka almost exactly the amount we’re asking for in our contract for THREE YEARS. #wgastrong

Just a reminder that as we’re disappointed by the shuffling of movie release dates, remember that the studios would rather ruin their fall schedule (and screw over theatre chains) than pay WGA/SAG what we’re owed. They’re hurting theatrical releases rather than make a deal.

It needs to be said that there’s a special place in hell for the studios that won’t pony up the cash for the original songs for library TV titles on streaming. Sure the generic music you put in is cheaper but it can ruin the shows. Yes I’m rewatching Felicity.

Another thing we really need to do on the other side of the strike is get back to making tighter TV episodes. Streaming has allowed for episodes to be as long as the showrunners want and it’s hurting the shows. I promise you that most dramas don’t need to be more than 45-50 mins.
