Writers are banging out anti-AI signs faster than Dall-E can rip off online fantasy artists. Part of it’s AI - which seems like a meteor coming for everyone, not just writers. (Yeah, today was definitely a “Nice Tesla, Pay me” day.) And Paramount might feel more like Helm’s Deep because, if you didn’t, you live so far east, it’s the only commute that won’t kill you - or, worse, drain your gas tank.
Part of the reason Sony is so fun is if you’re a WGA member who can even afford to live on the Westside, you came up during the mad money days of the ’80s and ’90s. But still, one can dream about how fast this would all be over if DGA and SAG actually went to the mattresses.Īdmittedly, this time does feel different: It feels existential. Those guys know how to throw down.) But it’s hard not to fear we’re just Charlie Brown and they’re Lucy with the football – because that’s how it’s usually been. (Though, man, the Teamsters stole the show. There’s some cautious optimism this time: DGA did come to our pep rally at the Shrine. AMPTP will do the usual, trying to lure the DGA into throwing us under the bus. What’s really starting to sink in: This is going to be a long one. All the Netflix execs are acting like it’s 2020 and zooming from home anyway. The gripe among captains is that Imagine Dragons would’ve done way more good over there because the WB lot is a factory floor. And Netflix is clearly the see-and-be-seen picket line, while Warners is the one everyone forgets about.
Sony’s the fun one, Disney’s for families and seniors (easy on the insoles) and Universal is for singles - probably because there are discount Margaritas at the Taco stand just across the 101. The studios also have distinct identities. (Is today more a “ChatGPTDeezNuts” day or a “Nice Tesla, Pay me” day?)* It’s like sorting through the t-shirt rack at Target to find just the right snark to fit your mood. The Guild’s almost out of blank signs, so you have to pick through a cluster of someone else’s used slogans when you check in.
