Comment on Hush over Hollywood: why has it become so hard to make films in Los Angeles?
Boomkop3@reddthat.com 3 days agoOh that union must be new. Did you not hear about the strikes recently? Two years ago, and the job market still hasn’t recovered. In some shows they were winging it without writers.
And that’s separate from these weird “profit sharing” contracts they’ve been giving to actors in recent years too. Only to then do some creative bookkeeping and write down everything they do as a loss.
Doesn’t make hollywood rich, but it definitely makes the shareholders rich

You have misunderstood. Hollywood’s writers have been fully unionised since the 1930s. Shows were not winging it without writers, as showrunners were still supervising things as part of permitted work in their producorial capacity.

Ahh, in that case those are some meaningless darn unions. No wonder they had to go on strike

This comment makes me believe you don’t understand what unions are/do.

Feel free to bring an argument rather than attack my character. I’m covered by a union and it’s a lot less terrible
