The #HollywoodStrike is over! Huzzah!
Hopefully this calms down other companies and guilds and makes them feel comfortable being more lenient and willing to amicably negotiate in their respective strikes too.
@d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 Nope! But I’ve been following the #HollywoodStrike quite closely, in part because I’m a fan of shows and movies but in part because I also viewed the strikes as a canary in the coal mine for an impeding economic depression
One of this strike’s effect, I suspect, the #UAWStrike, is more likely to cause a full on depression though
Any specific reason why you think so?
@d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 Mostly because the last time there was a #WGAStrike, it was 2007, right around the same time of the housing market crash
It’s part of market panics, and nobody panics more than the “entitled” (I don’t think that everyone in #Hollywood is as entitled as people make them out to be, just the most famous ones, but it’s not like they deserve more than, say, #UPS drivers and #UAW members)
I haven’t followed the cycles but it’s an interesting data point.
Horror really took off in a significant way before the crash as well. (Yes, around Halloween but it seems more significant now)
@d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 Agreed, it’s not just this year but last year too, with stuff like #ViolentNight and the horror parody of #TheGrinch
I hate seeing the commercials for it.

This actually made me think... we have a rating system for tv shows and movies but as far as I know it doesnt apply to commercials... thats weird.
@freemo @d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 It is weird.
I have been watching more trailers as of late, and noticed that for the trailer for #AnatomyOfAFall, there was a warning from #YouTube because it discusses the possibility that someone committed suicide; yet for the trailer for #LaAbuela has straight up full frontal female nudity with no warning at all.
The only ratings system there is is run by the #MPAA, labeling trailers “green band” or “red band”, but theaters sometimes still play unrated trailers.
Oddly while I would of course feel very sad someone commited suicide over a trailer, that actually makes me want to see the trailer more.

@freemo @d9dba0e072bdb353dfb0020de159126af47e69e133ea91bbd48e8bede37320e2 I highly recommend it if you haven’t seen it already! It looks fantastic and it’s already out on #BluRay. But I haven’t found an english language disc of it yet.
