@WildBillWellman @saeedtaji You mean the Union that threatened their jobs via pulling production if they didn't vote yes?

@TitusHigle @saeedtaji “Indie project” does not mean inherently good. And I’m betting the crew is glad it went union.
English
Bragging about treating your crew badly, and trashing working people and unions, is now a form of self promotion in the indy world.

My very first morning filming Detention in LA, which was supposed to be an $800k shoot, Iatse showed up with a ballot box and said the crew was going to "vote" to turn it union or I get shut down. I had no choice but to flip it and spent the rest of the shoot scrambling to find money every three days. After it was done, my own DGA union kept sending me bills to pay for fines on a movie I spent my own money on. Of course all this expanded my budget which then put me in another tier of SAG which then increased the budget again. It was an endless union squeeze that kept pushing the budget up, with me holding the bill. As they say in Goodfellas, Fuck You Pay Me.

@CDIGODDESS you know exactly what she means but you choose not to understand because you simply just do not care about black people

@aeneashemphill She worked for less than a month. She got paid 7K for less than a month's work on a indie film...

This is so disappointing. Publicly funded film industry now
Dexerto@Dexerto
Obsession's director has responded after the art director said she earned less than $7,000, while the movie made nearly $300 million He said the crew "deserve to be recognized" but that those who take financial risks are rewarded the most

@aeneashemphill @aluminumtadpole Canada and the UK have way, way more public funding and produce way more crap 💀
English
@aluminumtadpole We have 99% shitty movies in America today while all the talent is tied up with gig work to make rent as executives continue recycling the same shit over and over
English
@BootsRiley My guy he had to go into debt on a self-funded project for a union that kept demanding more and more.
English
You're paying the crew what they demanded through a vote- better pay and benefits and you got to make your movie.
You're on Twitter complaining about your fucking crew. Get a grip.

@ScratchAE__ My guy they worked for 6 months counting post-production. Production itself was 26 days. The actors all got paid thousands of dollars, with the lead actress making 20K.
They are also getting residuals from the gross. They all made great money.

Project Hail Mary fan being pro greed I said I’m so sure 😭😭😭😭
blanking@blankinon_names
@todayis_gloomin @transyapper7781 They signed the contract stating how much money they would make for their work in the film, its not his fault that they didn't negotiate for a higher pay and the movie made that much money. If she has a problem with it, then she should've contributed to the budget.

@OrganizerMemes Is everyone who doesn’t support a 30 year war in Ukraine a “Russia shill”?
English
@CTprogressive_ @OrganizerMemes "We shouldn't support Gaza until they have had new elections. I mean, even their own polling says they want to capitulate to Israel on everything! (Not what the polling shows at all)"

@OrganizerMemes The thought police has charged me with “pro Russian shill” 😔 it’s so CT Prover

@comrade_casey @Perhapanaut He did achieve a ceasefire. Trump broke it.

@Perhapanaut She has without a doubt become less progressive. She assured that Biden was nearing a ceasefire TWO YEARS AGO.

@Mike_from_PA Bruh this was a random conference 10 years ago from people across different industries and almost none of them people ever even actually met Peter Thiel.
You are going to be sued for defamation one day if you keep echoing vapid defaming claims just to spite people.

Wow I can believe the centrists are deep collaborators with the fascist forces in this country. This is just something that always happens and was obvious!

Really bummed to see Scott Belsky, Reid Hoffman, Senator Cory Booker, Immad Akhund, Preet Bharara, Adam Grant, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Gov Wes Moore, Ezra Klein, and Kim Scott on the list of leaked members of Dialog. There’s something creepy and conspiratorial about an “elite group of individuals” meeting under a Peter Thiel community to plan for the world. I hope I’m wrong but at the cursory read, this is very disappointing.

@OrganizerMemes Smh I hope he’s ashamed of himself for having an opinion you disagree with!

Russia refuses to negotiate...
English
@Landswellsong @OrganizerMemes A poll conducted over the phone with a bunch of leading/loaded questions… ok let’s see. Q2 has such a huge caveat, all it’s basically asking is “do you have any hope for the future of your country or have you lost it all?” 55% pro-peace agreement referendum vs 32% against, nice.
English
@CTprogressive_ @Jradzz1 @OrganizerMemes Buddy, they want the war to end WITHOUT loosing 20% of the nation.
That's not what you are asking them to do. You are asking them to capitulate 20% of their land after Russia devastated their country.
English
@Jradzz1 @OrganizerMemes No I shared an opinion a majority of Ukrainians hold, according to Gallup polling.

@hasanthehun Hey so why is Mike from PA allowed to call Jews Demons and that Ukraine shouldn't be given aid unless they hold elections in warzones (Something he doesn't demand of Gaza)?

The same week we will mark the third anniversary of 10/7, Jewish Currents will give their stage to Hamas cheerleader Hasan Piker and so many others who use rhetoric that makes it less safe for Jews around the world to exist. #StayClassyJC

@Shark3ozero Buddy, why are you pretending that all challengers were to the left of incumbents? Especially when this count INCLUDES GOP PRIMARIES!
English
Lets debunk some third way slopaganda: According to ballotpedia in 2024 52% of seats were challenged and incumbents won 95% of their races. These PACs' 8 year 17% for first time candidates against incumbents is overt 3 times the average. Last cycle alone it was around 45%.

@CinemarxismBret Hey so why did Oklahoma vote down a minimum wage increase despite high turnout? Was everyone "too left from getting paid more" and stayed home? 💀

"MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE. MOST PEOPLE DON'T VOTE BECAUSE THEY ARE TO THE LEFT OF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY." -@BootsRiley spitting about the fact that many people on the left do not want to vote for a party like the Democratic Party, a party that is not truly oppositional.
