Hollywood Strike

Skybird · 07-16-23, 03:12 PM

Lets see the positive in this strike. No more films made for the ideologized Oscars. No more daily soaps. No new Avenger or Marvel Comic movie. Whats bad in that?

So, a bunch of people who make more money than I ever dreamed of by pretending to do the stuff that I really, actually did, for chump change throughout the course of my military career, have gone on strike, demanding even more money?

Oh the humanity! However will I weather this storm?

Oh, wait. I don't pay any attention to the crap that oozes out of Hollywood.

Never mind. I'll be fine.

Do they really need AI? Can't they just make a wheel of fortune with space labels such as "another Indiana Jones film", "another marvel comic", "another Hanoi Jane snoozer". etc, etc.

You mean that's not the way they do it?

I like the idea of AI. Then we can have software that lets us choose the cast that we want to see.

Imagine Michael Berryman as Rick Blaine in, "Casablanca".

Or Vern Troyer as Rooster Cogburn in, "True Grit".

Or Melissa McCarthy as Dorothy in, "The Wizard of Oz".

Or Danny Trejo as Clarence Odbody in, "It's a Wonderful Life".

The possibilities are endless.

I want to see Dick Van Dyke as 'Hilts' in The Great Escape (especially on the motor bike)

Yeah, with 80% of the product the film industry turns out is derivative crap, I say let the strike go on for a couple years. And actors? Dime a dozen.
