Not since Ronald Reagan was SAG president have Hollywood writers and performers gone on strike at the same time. We talk with WGA and SAG-AFTRA members about why they're striking now and how the future of the entertainment industry hangs in the balance.
Sorry you had a subpar movie experience. I guess the only recourse is to hollow out a middle class profession and concentrate more power in the hands of billionaires.
I would suggest that the reason you were enticed into going to see the subpar movie with all its marketing, merchandising, and structural support may have more to do with corporate executives than a hard-as-nails creative profession with a $45,000 median salary.
I’m just saying you’re targeting the wrong people with your criticism. I’m not saying the writing isn’t shit, just that it’s pretty understandable why it is that way and complaining like it’s the writers’ fault and not the studios’ is playing into the studios’ hands.
If there’s any rich screenwriters on here who got sad because I criticised paying $20 for a ticket to watch their sub-par work, I do apologise.
Film critics in the 70s and 80s were pretty brutal and can roundly deconstruct incompetency better than I ever could.

There is no middle class and there never was.
There is ruling class and working class.
