This Does Not Bode Well: Another Hollywood Strike Is Upon Us

Filed under: Media Minute

strike.jpg

Things aren't looking good. Hollywood may have another strike on their hands!

This times, it's the thespians at war with the big media moguls.

The studio/producer suits have broken off contract talks with the Screen Actors Guild cuz - they claim - SAG's DVD sales and online demands are "unreasonable."

The suits say there's no reason for another extension of talks.

The first rounds of talks lasted 18 days.

SAG president Alan Rosenberg said the decision to halt talks was unfortunate and deeply troubling.

SAG's contract for films and primetime TV shows expires June 30th.

Another strike would be DISASTROUS for Hollywood!

As we mentioned before, the smaller actors union, American Federation of Television and Radio Artists is not working together with SAG on a unified deal.

It's AFTRA that will be meeting with the suits on Wednesday at the bargaining table.

Hopefully, SAG and the suits work something out before the June deadline.

Strikes suck, but we we 100% support the actors. They should get what they deserve!

      Yeah Im sick of this. I don't support the writers! I understand where they are coming from but even before the strike they didn't deserve a great deal of money cause they barely entertained us. Reality TV shows started kicking their scripted ass. I just don't believe they deserve much of anything when the most shows they throw out during a non strike season are 4 or 5 because even a year ago they were throwing out that many shows a season. Oh and its awesome they are getting another break for summer they earned it with all that hard work they did for us. Screw them.

      People who post the first comment and just write "First comment!"are fucking pathetic.

      This strike is a joke, grow the fuck up already. Everybody is always bitching and they don't even know what it's like to be living a hard life.

      Great!!! let the rich actors make even more money wihile putting the rest of hollywood crews, lighting, art dept, prop people, makeup, grips, tranportation etc etc etc. go broke and lose thier houses. BUT as long as the rich actors and writers got their money, since that is all they are concearned with, then every is good. Screw them!!!!

      Another strike??? I really hope these money hungry actors realize that they will be hurting A LOT of people. They are already over paid as it is… If unionized entities will be going on strike, why not hire Actors and Actresses that are not part of a union… Besides there is more talent out there.

      Stop being so greedy!

      Okay if this were the crew striking I'd support it. But actors make a lot of money. A LOT. I do not support them because the majority are already making more money than any writer, script girl, cinematographer, cameraman etc. Do they need a Bentley? C'mon…

      You would 100 percent support the actors, u douche. They're not the ones that will suffer when SAG goes on strike. They're all rich as shit. It's going to be everyone else. The cameramen, the grips, the electrics, the production staff….those are the people that suffer. You wouldn't know because you just turn on your fucking webcam and give your worthless opinion on how great the new kylie minogue album is. Get bent for life, Perez.

      Re: Ryan Fox – Did you READ this article? It has nothing to do with the writers… it is now the actors complaining about money.

      The writers asked to be compensated for their work… is that not reasonable?

Guarantee they make more than most of us that have good jobs and all they can do is bitch about the government and how much it should help others, yet dont spend any of their own money or time to do the same. FUCK THE ACTORS AND WRITERS.

      Re: Ryan Fox

      This isn't a writers' strike. Did you even read the article?

      I could support the writers easily because I am one, though I don't work in TV. But actors? Come on. They get paid way too much already. I mean, the top tier are making $25 million plus percentages for a few months of work. I'd like to see the suits strike to get actors' salaries lowered.

      I'll get back to ya on the sympathy for actors when my overworked, underpaid and underappreciated police officer husband can get paid a decent wage and not have to work 3 jobs just to help keep our family out of the homeless shelter. And when teachers, firefighter, soldiers, etc. can earn a living. I simply cannot feel too sorry for actors, writers, entertainers, athletes and the like who gripe about not getting paid what they think they deserve when hardworking people who really make a difference can barely get by on what they get paid.

AND as for supporting ANYONE in a strike-like the other post-I would support the grips, assistants, makeup, hair, goffers, medical-the ones that had NOTHING to do with the last strike, but were without a paycheck. AND none of them make the money of an actor on a series.

      The people who should be making millions are the brain surgeons, nurses, and firefighters/ambulance workers/police of the world. Not people who read lines off a sheet paper, have free food amd gifts given to them, and work maybe 5 months out of the year. The money they make is rediculous, and they're being rediculous. Actors don't even know what a day of work is. Those ****ers need to get back to work and stop complaining- they don't deserve 1/10000 of what they already have. UNGRATEFUL BITCHES!!!!!!

      WHY do the actors deserve MORE than the writer's?? They need to take the deal the writer's got. And don't say they are more important than the writer's… we have all heard what actor's have to say when they aren't reading a script- a bunch of nothing. They are already overpaid and coddled disgustingly. Just what we need is to inflate their already over inflated sense of worth. Entertainment is a collaborative process and actors take up more space then they deserve.

      They are the SUV's of the entertainment industry.

Stop being greedy and appreciate that you do have a job. Lots of people are strugging. Sorry if I don't have compassion for people that make THOUSANDS more per hour, than the normal joe.

      All of you guys who say actors are overpaid don't know what you are talking about. The huge movie stars make money, but SAG is not just fighting for them. They are fighting for generations of actors to come, because their current contracts do not cover new media. It's the studio heads who are being selfish pigs and distributing actors work online withought them seeing a cent. You guys really have no idea what you are talking about.

      Seriously? I agree that studio head are making way too much money, but I don't really think anyone in the entertainment biz deserves to be making the kind of money they make when our police officers/firefighters/teachers are making crap wages. These are the people who are protecting & saving lives and teaching our children. Why can't we be more concerned and lobby for better pay for them and be less concerned about how actors & writers aren't making money off of some of the crap they're putting out there?!!??

      Most actors are dumber than dirt. They couldn't write dialogue or direct a great film. They are parrots. they are told what to say, when to say it, what face to make when they say it, and then they have to rehearse over and over and over and over to get it right. Their talent lies in not getting bored by doing that monotonous crap. In fact, the stupidest people are often the best actors and actresses. But actors are a dime a dozen. Who gives a damn about them other than people who run celebrity blogs? Most of the people who post on this site do so just to keep up with pop culture.

      Who do you think is going to end up paying for the strike? It will be the consumer paying for the movie tickets who will take it up the tail-pipe. I hate Hollywood.

      Also, some actors think they can tell us how to vote. "Listen to me. I played a politician in a movie so I know what I am talking about." Most actors are so withdrawn from the real world and are too busy having their asses kissed and seeking the attention that they didn't get as a child.

      This is just ridiculous! These "actors" get paid WAY too much as it is! How about those of us who actually work for our paycheck and don't just put on makeup and fancy clothes and act like useless whores? Why don't we redirect that money to the kids who don't have enough to eat or clothes that fit…at least they would be appreciative. Hollywood is a joke.

      Perez, your ignorance is showing again. The actors already get what they deserve and then some. Actors get paid way more than the average American and whether or not they should get paid higher residuals for DVD's, etc. is not a good enough reason to authorize a strike. Hello - we are in the throes of a recession. Greed and the fear that results is driving market speculation for oil, rice, and other goods sky-high. NO ONE WILL HAVE MUCH SYMPATHY FOR A BUNCH OF OVERPAID THESPIANS. Television is dying and movies are outrageously expensive because of the kind of gross money these people get paid. Enough is enough.

      I don't give a fukk about the writers or the actors or anyone or anything to do with Hollyweird. Those assholes forget that THEY WORK FOR US. Without us watching their pathetically lame TV shows and movies they are NOTHING. Since the writers strike I only tape and watch three shows that I like and that I'll stick with to the bitter end. Otherwise…I'm totally over TV and haven't gone to a theatre to watch a movie in years. I'm pretty much boycotting the industry until it gets its act together and gives me something worth spending my time and money on watching. Hear that Hollyweird? You suck.

      I am so fed up with actors spouting their political views and taking advantage of their so-called fame. During the writers' strike, everyone (especially those holier than thou actors) forgot about the most important people, the viewers. We were just left in the dirt. Well, guess what? I have not gone to a movie in ages and I have found my entertainment on the web. I refuse to pay $10 a movie knowing that the money will probably fund some actor's drug binge!Re: anti-union

      The actors make more then they should now. If they had live on the crews salary then maybe they would realize what life is really about. If they want to go on strike fine. They just need to think if people will support them afterwards. Maybe the public should boycott them!!!

      Of course this was going to happen.
      I suggest you stock up on your DVR and Tivo stuff.
      I'm not watching any of the new stuff yet, just saving it :p

      Please, Perez. Actors are so f-ing overpaid it's ridiculous. They are the least talented people on a movie or tv set. I'm all for them getting paid in relation to their box office or market draw, but they have almost no financial risk unless they are producing, in which case they are making a producer's cut.

      These morons should know that the public does not care about Hollywood anymore. They have no clout, are over paid worthless morons. If the studios take a stand and fire all these idiots it will be a great day!

      Oh yes because the actors look like they are such a desolate group of people. It's hard to juggle rehab, million dollar homes, awards show, and outfits that cost what most people won't even make in a month.

      Uh…sure.

      Actors already get 20 million dollar paychecks, but yes! Let's give them MORE money.

      They deserve it with all that extremely hard work they put into movies.

      They're way better than firefighters, policemen, paramedics and doctors.

      I spit on those that save lives! Let's give the money to the entertainers.

    95. Lene says – reply to this


      95

      WTF? Like they don't get enough money already! 20 mill for a movie…not enough?

      DOCTORS gets paid LESS than these actors, and they SAVE LIVES EVERYDAY! Actors learn lines..And still, they want more? Ungratefull ******!

      YOU GUYS SUCKS!

      FUCK ALL OF THE ACTORS IF THEY DO THIS SHIT!

      Fuckin' whiney bitches!

      How about everyone boycott all of the movies that come out during this stupid fuckin' strike if it happens?

      I bet the movie companies would love that.

      I have to say, this would blow! I work in the industry, and the writer's strike was a horrible blow to everyone behind the scenes. An actor's strike would be crippling. The demands ARE unreasonable, as background actors make up most of SAG, and they wouldn't benefit from the strike. Either would all the two hundred or so crew that make every TV show and film possible. The average crew member works 14-16 hours a day and makes less in one year than many actors do in one episode!!!!

    98. Jerry says – reply to this


      98

      Oh yes, by all means, give them MORE millions of dollars. They can hardly make ends meet. They need that new $4,000 handbag. Jesus Christ, how much money do these douchebags really need? All they do is play dress up!

    99. rose says – reply to this


      99

      def agree with a lot of people here!! Like the actors need MORE money? Again people forget the hundreds of people who work their asses off behind the scenes and never see near as much money or appreciation.

      thats fucking stupid, just making the actor more richer than they all ready are…if they want more money get a fucking real job. lazy bastards…just to make things fair.. they should pay the actors minimum wage, per hour…not fair, to the production people….they work even harder….fucking lazy actors, only care about money… i hope there houses burn…their getting overpaid, yet they still want more??? i would totally understand if the production crew was on strike…but the SAG? totally not what we need right now..
