Star Trek Goes On Strike
Star Trek Goes On Strike
Franchise performers supportive of -- and sometimes deeply involved in -- the work stoppage
I'll miss new trek, but it is more important that the people who make it are able to secure a living. Hopefully the studios will get their heads out of their asses soon.
I think this is a good time to end the studio system, if not now it will only get worse.
I agree they have some serious issues and inequality to work out, but I also concede that the sorts of productions we are talking about (science fiction in particular) tend to be expensive to produce. Having a large entity with deep pockets (like a studio) to foot the bill until money rolls in makes this easier.
We really need to get the powers that be to stop pretending that me consuming media streaming on my phone is somehow different than you consuming the same media OTA on television, or Alice watching on a laserdisc, or Bob on his home IMAX theater. The studios are either making content or they are not. They are either distributing that content, or they are not. And they are either paying the people who generate that content a fair, livable wage....or they are not. It really doesn't have to be any more complicated than that, and anyone who claims it is likely has a profit incentive in the current system to do so.
All right, I gotta say that Rapp’s kid is freaking adorable.
I mean, holy crap that is a cute picture.
Sean Aloysius O'Brien would be proud.
He would be...if we had a cure for 34 gunshot wounds to the back.
We are down to 32!!!
If the Ferengi could strike and force Quark to treat them like people, surely the humans here on earth deserve the same
