@jb383000 The tiers were unrealistic when they were formed, and they are absurd with inflation and real costs.
English
@JosephKahn I don't know about your locations, but the IA has negotiated multiple tiers (i.e. hourly rate, etc.) based on project budget. Not sure what you're trying to negotiate? Why do you need SAG bg and cops?
English
I'm trying to get some work into LA right now and it's a fucking nightmare. Unions don't negotiate, locations don't negotiate. Non union gigs get flipped. Every extra in SAG tries to upgrade to OCP so I have to write them out. Need to hire a gazillion cops. The cost of everything is nuts. There's just so much I can do before I have to take this shit to Thailand. If everyone can't be bothered, neither can I.

@jackson_br67676 I have jobs. I'm just trying to figure out where to shoot them.
English
@JosephKahn Am I wrong or were you the one saying how everything is fine in LA government wise? Please correct me if I’m wrong.
LA is dying.
English
@UploadTodd I was given a location for free but I have to rent a parking lot at UCLA with all the infrastructure that entails, then have union teamsters take everyone up and down the hill, so even free is expensive.
English
@JosephKahn This is the thing that gets lost about LA shooting - all the expensive parking, extra cops and firemen, largest fringe payments in the country, etc. Cpuple that with the amount of covered positions now and you have no way around unless you have a lot of cash up front

The average family of four pays $1000 a day at Disneyland, and spends most of their time waiting in lines behind Disney adults and couples. My solution to the low birth rate problem is to tier Disney pricing to penalize these DINKS creating supply and demand problems at the parks.
Dual Income No Kids couples are a drain on society, absorbing resources and producing a net loss when they die off. In the meantime they clog up the Pirates line with their sad adult mouse ears, eating $15 churros, forcing 8 year olds to wait for an experience that is designed for them. Triple the ticket price for them since they have so much expendable income, and bring down the cost for families. Let them subsidize the people that are doing their part to continue the human race.
DINKS should not be at Disneyland just like they shouldn't be at elementary schools or Billie Eilish concerts. They should stay in their designated world of wine bars and film festivals. Introduce family surge pricing. The more families show up, the more expensive it is for Dinks to enter.
Once this program is successful, tax DINKS on everything else that should prioritize families like Cheesecake Factory until they have kids for discounts and tax breaks. Tax the billionaires? No, tax the DINKS.

I have a rage bait/hot take that will make me a lot of enemies for sure. I think I'll hold on to this one to find the right moment to savor the emotions.
English
@JosephKahn Do you agree that production has become so optimized with so much below the line specialization that "director" is morphing into "creative director," a vanity role that increasingly anyone can do which is why there are so many midwit actresses sitting in the chair now?
English
Everyone keeps hiring non technical directors for these big action movies and wasting money. Meanwhile here's how I channeled 35 years of solutions on ICK.

@CappyBara69 Shoot wider than the needed frame. Stabilize in post.
English
@JosephKahn Why a skateboard though? Wouldn’t it be too unlevel unless you were going for a shakeycam kind of effect?
English
@LukeBarnett Lightning lines should be prioritized and discounted for families.
English
Man, as someone who occasionally enjoyed Disney pre-kids and now has kids, I couldn't agree more. Disney is doing a thing this summer that's great. $50 tickets for kids. I think they should do the same thing for lines and products. Insane for 5 year olds to have to wait an hour+ to ride It's a Small World because a group of 40 something's want to feel nostalgic.

@BoredElonMusk Most of the LA moms I know are seething about ICE. 🤷
English
@JosephKahn You underestimate how many seething Moms exist right now in LA. They’re quiet but ready to unload.

If Pratt wins, it would be against the endorsement of every single union in LA, including the police union LAPPL. Her most famous blunder is burning down the Pacific Palisades but she will probably get the firefighters UFLAC as well. LA is a deeply union town and they are not interested in conservative issues like lower taxes. They fight for the taxes to go to them at all cost. Seems highly unlikely Pratt can win in this union wonderland.
English
@JosephKahn Ya after she edited the fire report lying defunding them and firing the chief not one of them are voting for her pal you know how I know cause I’m donating to them lol nice try weirdo paid poster
English
@SiamSports She's basically the greatest LAFD jobs creator in history.

So the weirdo Nazi dude that was bashing on Asians with me disappeared after I posted some actual stats that refuted whatever the fuck he was talking about. This is how you should deal with things instead of censorship. Just debate, and the loser kills himself.

Europeans and Koreans start with similar lightness. What Koreans (and East Asians) have is higher melanin sensitivity and can tan easier. It's an evolutionary adaptation in Korea to extreme cold (colder than Russia) and heat swings. Skin color of both races also depends on the individual. So yes, if they don't block their skin they will tan but if they do protect, they get the ivory look. Why does this make you lose your shit?

@WilsonCleveland Glen Powell should do Torque 2. That is a good idea.
English
Of course there isn’t. Regulators don’t negotiate with anyone but merging companies & their lawyers. All anyone else can do in their capacity is urge or ask on behalf of themselves. Urging isn’t negotiating.
If you were remaking Torque with Glen Powell as Ford and I was Martin Henderson’s agent, all I could do in my capacity is urge you to cast him in another role. You may consider it, you may not. I’d have no negotiating power, but it wouldn’t stop me from advocating for my client.

Why is she singling out Paramount to commit to workers when Disney, Universal, Sony, Netflix, Apple, Amazon exist. Marvel just laid off 1,000 employees, Quixote closed down, and she has one priority: attack Paramount (because Ellisons are not her political party). Who is her Hollywood advisor? Mark Ruffalo?
Mayor Karen Bass@MayorOfLA
We are in a global battle for entertainment jobs, and we must hold nothing back in our fight. This is about an industry that is essential to our middle class and who we are as a city. I cannot support a deal that results in massive job losses. I urge federal regulators to enforce job protections and creative freedom during the approval process, and I call on Paramount’s leadership to redouble its commitment to the industry workers in our city.
English
Because Paramount is the only studio in the middle of a $110 Billion media consolidation currently regulatory scrutiny. Unions & public officials can pressure for job commitments as a condition of approval. Happened with Disney/Fox too.
Can’t do that with layoffs resulting from corporate restructurings like Disney, Amazon, etc.
Paramount/WB will immediately carry $80 Billion in debt and threaten 5k-10k overlapping LA jobs.
