This week is key in Hollywood writers' strike negotiations, says Puck's Matt Belloni 

The good news is that this doesn't mean squat.

My life has been impacted exactly ZERO by the Hollywood strikes. Keeping it shut down would be best for our innocent children

See what the box office numbers are after the free money dries up. Women be shopping!😅

Strange times however I feel little sympathy. Remember that nearly every single one of these writers routinely injected their media with mockery of a certain group; a group that wasn't exactly open about the current workforce replacement that is underway in their country. And now that the shoe is on the other foot, now that these propagandists realise how utterly expendable they are they lament and ponder "how could this happen?". There replacement however will not be of the flesh but of silicon, strange times.

Millionaires still striking? Meh.

It seems as though the studios and the actors and writers can't seem to approach each other for talks without bickering before discussions ? What did they hope to accomplish with that attitude ? Perhaps all parties involved should use arbitrators who can reason with each other in a more professional manner.

Sag ..writers guild and millionaire actors should start a new movie tv studio with out the huge movie tv studios. Just like the smart people who started their own podcast

Both unions got too fat. There was never, NEVER! Enough work to support them. Was it a dues grab? Likely. Now the surplus is blocking a deal. So writers want the studios to accommodate all these members with 10 writer writing rooms. Streaming studios can’t hide the books. The government will eventually enter in on that. There’s enough blame to go around. But the writers must cave on the man power. The studios are not running a public assistance program. They’re not here to support bad union membership conditions.

Is it possible to reverse engineer the metrics of steaming shows? That is, because studios won’t release this data, is there an inference method to find what the metrics are?

You really only need one or two writers for a show now, especially with ai

Go hungry

Stand strong and keep the strike going.... forever! Lets give AI a chance.

The writers are in deep sh1t!!

The writers and actors are not winning any fans. They seem like hateful, obnoxious, spoiled little kids. It's making more sense to me why Hollywood's has put out such poor content over the past 10 years.

But, where's MGM (Metro'-Goldwyn-Mayer) anyhow?

Considering the lack of quality and the overt agendas they've been pushing through their product, I wouldn't care if all of them suddenly had to look for real work. The entire entertainment industry is simply a propaganda organ for 'small-hat-wearers', so I've long since unplugged from it. We'd all benefit from doing the same.

You need public support and support from other non-movie related unions for your strikes to be successful. Hollywood smug actors and writers have made the public hate them and their jobs, so the prospect of the writers strike succeeding is looking pretty grim. The power of the Union is in the name itself: Power comes from the ability to unite people together on a same cause. If your Union consists of people who divide opinions among the public, your Union is doomed to fail.

WFH outcome. Writing can be done from "home".

I wanna see the meg 2. Not the stupid TMNT... They ruined it.

The guy fart at 3:06

No, no it is not. That is a comically stupid take. It is like how they said there could be progress a few days ago before the last meeting. Anyone with half a clue knew nothing was going to come out of it.

Please strike for 1000 days more

Strikes is likely to end in September.

They better do something to get Hollywood back or Hollywood is Dead all their other New fancy movies creation will all be destroyed then this means All actors and writers will all go broke and lose their fancy houses because Hollywood is in trouble.

Forgot to mention AI EXISTENTIAL DANGER.

What were the other things? 1:48 You don't mention the rest. A joke for news.

Man's got that big small eyes

And no one cares…it’s amazing how forgettable these so called entertainers of today are.

The Writers Union is asking for too much. They should have settled when they got most of what they wanted.

You dont need actors to promote stupid movies like TNMT and The Meg.

I never knew how greedy these companies were.

Hollywood shares the top of AI abuse. They need to take what they dish out. People have intelligence too most notably evident in the PityParty and they're the element setting the pace for AIs occupation of people's lives. It's like all privileged behaviors. They wag the dog everyday for the most privileged and create new ones. Tip of the spear. Crack of my....said one line about the Mimicks. They create the mess and hardships and then insulate themselves from it watching the vulnerable groups squirm and dishing out a charity here and there that doesn't scratch the surface in the wake of the fascists tools they use to get rich. Affirmative Action measures need to be taken to address imbalances at the top and bottom not just the bottom which hasn't even kept up with the wealthy's belaying most of the tax burden on people that are conscripted into non-paying jobs.

I hope the strike lasts as long as those fools played pandemic. Three years!
