drhandsome , 9 months ago to moviesandtv in WGA, AMPTP to Meet Sunday After Guild Presented With ‘Best and Final’ Offer

Does anyone understand what makes this offer “final”? Like, if the WGA doesn’t accept it, does that mean that Hollywood is out of business forever, no more films, no more TV, because that was the FINAL offer?

These people are so full of shit, I can’t even.

I was very young then and much easier to push around. This was well before IMDB existed.

As someone who had his name left out of film credits before (actually, it listed the guy’s name who didn’t get the role I got instead of mine), I know how this stings. Sadly film & television is full of neglectful morons, they fuck up, ultimately all you can do is move on.

I think Apple TV+ will also survive, simple because Apple’s business model permits loss leader services like that (or Apple Music is or Apple Fitness). The whole thing is basically one big elaborate iPhone ad.

There’s nothing to watch on Peacock. There’s only so many times I can rewatch old episodes of House or Parks & Rec.

Also, their NBC-themed branding is useless outside the United States so they can’t reach international markets effectively. They should do what Viacom CBS did with Paramount Plus and anchor their streaming platform to the internationally much more recognized Universal brand instead.
