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

"Serious" Actress
ARRESTED!!!!! Again!!!!!
These greedy ass celebs just want more and more. the hell with all of them. I don't even go to the movies anymore. Cable is expensive enough.
AND THEY DON'T GET PAID ENOUGH TO DO IT SO FUCK OFF HOLLYWOOD. GET A REAL JOB AND THEN BITCH AND MOAN… BOYCOTT !!!!
I HOPE HOLLYWEIRD GOES DOWN THE TUBES. THEY ALL DESERVE IT. I LIKE REALITY SHOWS BETTER ANYWAY. ACTORS ARE OVERPAID AND SELFISH. FUCK EM !!!
how about the fucking actors getting paid 20 million dollars per movie give some of their money to the writers..and the rest of america!
MAYBE WE SHOULD BE THE ONES TO GO ON STRIKE. NO ONE GO TO THE MOVIES OR BUY DVDS OR RENT THEM UNTIL THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES GIVE US SOMETHING BACK. MY COMMUNITY DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH BUSINESSES TO PROVIDE JOBS. THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE IS VERY HIGH. THESE RICH ASSES NEED TO USE SOME OF THEIR MONEY TO HELP SMALL COMMUNITIES BUILD BUSINESSES AND PROVIDE BETTER EDUCATION AND BETTER MEALS AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS AT THESE SCHOOLS. WHEN ACTORS AND ACTRESSES DO SUPPORT COMMUNITITES THEY ARE ALWAYS COMMUNITITES THAT ARE CLOSE TO HOME THERE ARE MORE THAN 2 STATES (CALIFORNIA AND NEW YORK) IN THE UNITED STATES!!!!!
aren't they making enough money as it is… why don't they just stop complaining, jump on their private jets and keep on collecting their 6 digit pay check…. do they honestly think anyone feels bad for them?
the average person makes 35-50,000 a year. and are struggling to make ends meet.
then u have your celebretards who spend all of there money on material bs that doesnt amount to anything.
they prance around on the red carpet in there high dollar clothes.
drive around in their high dollar cars.
and only shop in stores that only models can afford.
yeah i am gonna purchase dvds with what little money i have just so you can put gas in your 75,000 vehicle. which by the way is 5 times more than what my house is worth…………
i know people who work in asbestos plants they have taken 45 years off of their lives. and make what your average factory worker makes. considering their health issues and medical bills their salary doesnt quite add up to much.
you have your pampered celebs who have personal trainers, maids, maids for their maids, surgeons who are willing to do numerous face lifts when you have your average joe over here dying of cancer earlier than suppose to because he doesnt have the money like your rich joe to pay for the proper treatment.
Really? They want more money? I mean don't they make A LOT already? Since they like charity so much they should suggest the royalties that they're suggesting go to them for more clothes that cost $1,000s that they wear once and other ridiculous purchases it should all just go directly to the charities of their choice.
HAHAH! THEY ARE TRYING TO GET MONEY FROM THEIR JEWISH BOSSES? YOU WOULD HAVE MORE LUCK DRAWING WATER FROM A STONE!
I AM SICK OF COMPLAINING! PEOPLE LISTEN TO ME: DON'T GO TO THE MOVIES, DON'T WATCH TV OR RENT DVDS…LOOK AT EVERYTHING THROUGH THE INTERNET…THESE FUCKIN ACTORS THINK THEY ARE SOOOOOO FUCKIN IMPORTANT WELL LET'S SHOW THEM WHO THEIR BOSS IS AND THAT'S FUCKIN USSSSSSSSSS! AND WE DON'T FEEL THEY NEED ANY MORE FUCKIN MONEY! MY FRIEND HAD TO CLOSE HIS BUSINESS DOWN AND IS CLOSE TO LOSING HIS HOME BECAUSE THE ECONOMY IS IN SUCH BAD SHAPE AND YET THESE FUCKS WANT MORE? ALL THEY WANT IS MORE MORE MORE..MORE FAME..MORE MONEY ..MORE MORE.. THEY WANT TO BE FAMOUS THEN COMPLAIN ABOUT HAVING THEIR PICTURE TAKEN..I AM SICK OF HEARING THEM COMPLAIN AND WHINE ABOUT SOMETHING…JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP AND BE HAPPY YOU MAKE 20 MILLION FOR FUCKIN NOTHING..I WILL NEVER SEE 20 MILLION IN MY LIFE…SHIT I WOULD BE HAPPY WITH 1 MILLION…FUCK GIVE ME $500,000 AND I WILL PLAY 4 DIFFERENT ROLES!! THESE ACTORS FORGET WHERE THEY CAME FROM. ASSHOLES. ROT IN HELL YOU UNGRATEFUL PIECES OF SHITS.
OH PLEASE!! ACTORS ARE OVER PAYED AS IT IS…..A GOOD NUMBER OF THEM ANYWAY!!!! WHAT DO THEY DO? ACT? that's NOT SO FUCKING HARD TO DO!!!! BRAIN SURGERY! THAT'S HARD TO DO!!! THAT'S REAL TALENT!!!! THE ACTORS ARE OVER PAYED INGRATES THAT NEED A BOTTLE TO SUCK ON BECAUSE THEY'RE ACTING LIKE A BUNCH OF SISSY ASS BABIES!!!! FUCK OFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WITH YOUR WHINING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Exactly what America need right now. We're already having bad economy and we're gonna bitch slap one another to grab more money to save our sorry ass. End result will give nothing more than everybody loss!
These egomaniacs get paid plenty. Greedy tools. It was different with writers who don't bathe in the spotlight like these morons. Bleh
For some reason, you all seem to think that SAG consists mostly of celebrities, but you couldn't be more wrong. There are well over 100,000 people in this guild (including me) and the vast majority are struggling actors. The SAG negotiations do not affect celebs because they negotiate their own salaries. SAG is looking out for all the the guild members who struggle to make a living.
Everyone wants MORE MORE MORE! We live in a world where GREED rules everything. Face it! The economy is in shambles, people are losing homes, jobs,gas prices are beyond ridiculous,we are in war and losing soldiers and these people have the nerve to complain about their money! Give it up already.
Typical union bullshit, these people already make more than 97.5 percent of North America and they need more. Get back to work you lazy pricks. And Perez, don't so mindlessley though support to the actors without true comprehension of the situation. Do you get blowjobs from the union boss? Think for yourself.
get what they deserve? Why do actors get paid so much? Much more than teachers, scientist, doctors the list can go on. So many of them can't even act and they are all starting to look the same.
