Not since Ronald Reagan was SAG president have Hollywood writers and performers gone on strike at the same time. We talk with WGA and SAG-AFTRA members about why they're striking now and how the future of the entertainment industry hangs in the balance.
I’m pretty fucking sure they all know the basics of dialogue, no need to insult them. They are just working with impossible constraints when it comes to rewrites and such. Those creative decisions that are based on the whims of executives and audience testing. There’s no love in the writing because there’s no time to fall in love. These changes need to be happen on the top first.
And if you think ai writing will fix that… Whoo boy give it a couple of years and that snake will eat itself, especially if there’s legal recognition that you can’t use material without the creator’s permission (which should happen).
I’m just saying you’re targeting the wrong people with your criticism. I’m not saying the writing isn’t shit, just that it’s pretty understandable why it is that way and complaining like it’s the writers’ fault and not the studios’ is playing into the studios’ hands.
Sorry you had a subpar movie experience. I guess the only recourse is to hollow out a middle class profession and concentrate more power in the hands of billionaires.
I would suggest that the reason you were enticed into going to see the subpar movie with all its marketing, merchandising, and structural support may have more to do with corporate executives than a hard-as-nails creative profession with a $45,000 median salary.

Uhh, so that just happened…
They could always write something else.
But money!
Yeah, can you believe they work for money?
How much money? That is the question.
You think the marvel writers are loaded?
Globally speaking? Absolutely.
Lol wat are you comparing them to people living below poverty line? You clearly want to win this argument so take it lol.
Because I don’t care about rich people wanting more money.
If there’s any rich screenwriters on here who got sad because I criticised paying $20 for a ticket to watch their sub-par work, I do apologise.
Film critics in the 70s and 80s were pretty brutal and can roundly deconstruct incompetency better than I ever could.

There is no middle class and there never was.
There is ruling class and working class.
