Gay Karstaag Forever

i'm sorry but this is 1 of the funniest spam texts i've gotten

trains are superior because they go through beautiful places and sometimes you get to see the mysteries

"Think of the two major possibilities here: Either the studios owe untold millions to their talents and paying it out will decimate their stock prices, or they owe so little because there really is no money in streaming and the bubble of their entire 21st century business model will burst in spectacular fashion. And make no mistake: this is a bubble. This is the inevitable climax of a stockholder-driven hunger for infinite growth, despite the fact that, by design, such a thing cannot and should not exist. The infection of Wall Street has overwhelmed the entertainment industry beyond repair, leading to cultural vandals like David Zaslav to be appointed with the callous duty of strip-mining decades’ of artistic beauty for pennies of tax write-offs. The past and future are frivolous in comparison to the short-term demands that the line keep going up."

If Netflix has 232 million subs and they all pay an average of $15 a month, that's like $3.5 billion a month they're bringing in. But then they're dropping how much on exclusive movie streaming and original premium serieses and celebrity deals. And they're the big dog.

I think the reality probably is that only the big dogs have a full dish and everyone else is fighting over chunks of rawhide in the yard.

This guy looks like Steve Martin in prosthetics as a villain in a Muppet movie

'why are actors striking aren't they all millionaires' here's a paywall free link to an article that mentions how most of the cast of one of netflix's biggest shows had day jobs bc they couldn't afford rent

remember that actors are usually not well off at all. forget the big screen famous guys, they're the very few ones. this strike is for all the other ones, that deserve to have a livable paycheck for their job.

And a note to say that, had Orange is the New Black been on a not-streaming network which paid them residuals each time they screened the show the actors would have done fine or better than fine.

At the start of streaming rules were agreed to let these beginning ways of putting out stories over the web succeed and get established, and letting them not pay actors and writers traditional style residuals was part of what was agreed. They got established. They succeeded. The actors and the writers took the hit.

Streaming actors get screwed ten ways to Sunday. I'm still a part of the Union of BC Performers because I did work when I was young, and for a movie I was in when I was FIVE YEARS OLD, for around 30 SECONDS, in a movie that did poorly, I make more money in residuals than any of the leading actors in OITNB do for all of their hard work as adult professionals. It's sick, quite frankly, and I for one can't wait for the WGA and SAG to land lucrative contracts. There's no way in hell I should get more on my quarterly checks than the talent who worked on a show like that. By the way, once my movie hit Netflix in about 2012, my checks got slashed in half.

Weird how a show starring many people of color resulted in most of them barely being paid...

tuvok is the funniest bitch on this ship

You've got to be knitting me

Bob Iger seems like the sort of person that doesn't understand the importance of dryer maintenance. Cheaper than a cigar too, doesn't leave as much dna behind neither.

Bob Iger vs Ron Perlman cage match
