Old Movies, Star Trek, and Sarcasm

Writer's Guild of America voted to strike, good for them

Get ready for a whole new shitload of shitty "reality" shows, too.

My prediction remains the same -

Buckle up.

The dynamic's likely to be a tad different this time, though. Because we have something now that wasn't present in 2007/8:

Powerful social media.

Let's see how the production companies / producers do with hundreds of thousands of angry streaming consumers clogging their feeds, every livelong day, with shouts of ALL THE WRITERS WANT IS TWO CENTS ON THE [STREAMING] DOLLAR!

I've been through two of these now, and I'm here to tell you, this ain't gonna go any hundred days. (Especially since there are signs that the producers have already lost control of the narrative, and a strike hasn't even started yet.)

I support the Writer’s Guild union strike.

Everyone in Hollywood not a famous actor is getting absolutely annihilated financially at the moment. Writers, working actors (non big name people) visual effects people (who isn't even have a union and desperately need one) and all so the big media companies can enrich their CEOs and stockholders. It's just like so many other industries at current. Working people who aren't fabulously rich are being squeezed for everything while the rich company gets richer.

Support the writers. Support the unions. They're not A-list rich people raking in millions. It seems hard to believe but a great many people in Hollywood are working poor like us all. Unless you're famous (how many writers can you name?) you're struggling.

bonus:

Please reblog. i need to know if it was a statistical error due to a small pool of people, or if most people below 30 need to have a movie night with us

trans women cute reblog if you agree

I just wrote 8 pages when I haven't written in months and was beginning to think I'd never be able to again. Idk what it is, but I am sharing and manifesting this energy for every writer who sees this. May you write 8 quality pages effortlessly and find joy writing once more

We’ve all had times like this.

You’ve spent too much time learning to be a writer to lose it so easily. Keep a light in the window for it. It will be back.

bonus points if you say what it is in the tags! im looking to add movies to my watchlist 😊

I feel like if a vampire feeds on you without killing you, they should give you a lil cookie and cup of juice afterwards, like the blood donation center does.

@theamandaoflegend 🤣🤣

From Vincent Price's radio show, "The Saint" circa 1950. This man is a true legend. I adore him.

Ladies and gentlemen, poison doesn’t always come in bottles. And it isn’t always marked with the skull and crossbones of danger. Poison can take the form of words and phrases and acts: the venom of racial and religious hatred. Here in the United States, perhaps more than ever before, we must learn to recognize the poison of prejudice and to discover the antidote to its dangerous effects. Evidences of racial and religious hatred in our country place a potent weapon in the hands of our enemies, providing them with the ammunition of criticism. Moreover, group hatred menaces the entire fabric of democratic life. As for the antidote: you can fight prejudice, first by recognizing it for what it is, and second by actively accepting or rejecting people on their individual worth, and by speaking up against prejudice and for understanding. Remember, freedom and prejudice can’t exist side by side. If you choose freedom, fight prejudice.
