Proud to see this @CopyrightOffice #AI filing from one of my unions, #DGA. I know the wicked-smart Sarah Howes had much to do with this.

Ya know how the bullies've been using the ol' "EVERYBODY'LL HATE YOU" threat to try & intimidate #SAGAFTRA BG #Actors into ratifying this💩TA? Well seems the bullies never asked #PAsUnited. Cuz they want us to tell #AMPTP & #SAGAFTRA to stick their #AI where the sun don't shine!

Evening viewing recommendation? On @criterionchannl, watch Wendell B. Harris Jr.’s audacious dark comedy CHAMELEON STREET ('89)—a rediscovered masterpiece of American independent filmmaking. + Enjoy this mischievous gem alongside an intro by @_Ash_Clark + a director's commentary.

#SAG has wisely released the long-form language of the tentative agreement prior to the ratification vote. Starting on pg 60, you can see the #AI document I read a couple of weeks ago. Have your agents & lawyers review. sagaftra.org/files/2023%20SA…

Forget Black Friday – it's Who Friday! Here's 'Won't Get Fooled Again' from Pontiac Silverdome, 6 Dec 1975. Open your windows, turn it up loud and let your neighbours hear it too. They'll thank you for it. youtube.com/watch?v=EniWF9Nv…

Good. Fucking ridiculous that Disney dumped a movie that was already showing trailers in theaters. It's like no one is in the business of making and actually releasing movies anymore. That's become a weird novelty now.
Focus Features has acquired worldwide rights to Jeff Nichols‘ “The Bikeriders,” ending a short period of producer New Regency shopping the finished film to studios. bit.ly/49Lak7c

A 🧵 about the document spreading among SAG-AFTRA members today: On July 17, when SAG was deciding to go on strike, our NegCom put out this really helpful grid showing what we were asking for and how abysmally the AMPTP had failed to meaningfully counter. sagaftra.org/files/sa_docume…

If major studios can’t figure out how to release a sweeping, sexy motorcycle-club drama led by Austin Butler, Tom Hardy, Jodie Comer, Michael Shannon, Mike Faist, and Norman Reedus, I fail to see the point of major studios: variety.com/2023/film/news/a…

If they're going to do shit like this, can we just go back to releasing movies straight to dvd so we can at least make sure they're going to be preserved?
Disney is no longer set to release ‘THE BIKERIDERS’. New Regency is now looking for a new distribution partner for the film and is considering all release possibilities, including a streaming release. (Source: theinsneider.com/p/bikerider…)

this Melissa Barrera shit is infuriating. the definition of “anti-semitism” is being devalued so fast and in such bad faith that it will soon lose all meaning, which probably isn’t *great* for the Jews long-term. alas, by definition, Zionism doesn’t care about anything but itself

A "mosaic" of #AI protections sounds poetic, @DuncanCI. But unless & until the TA includes the language that make a clear that an #actor is a PERSON, no #SAGAFTRA Member should ratify it. Go back to the table & get us what we need NOW before it's too late.

A very good thread on why the current proposed SAGAftra agreement are inadequate.

There is no wait and see. If it means scrapping the whole deal and starting over, then that's what it takes. If SAGAFTRA wants a workforce that can afford its union dues in 5 years, then our negcom is going to have to find a way to make the "impossible" possible.

Seeing some actors excited to vote yes on this new contract and that confuses and scares me.

Grogu was originally portrayed by 6 performers. Puppeteers are defined as performers in the SAG-AFTRA TVA. Jason Matthews, Trevor Hensley , Hiroshi 'Kan' Ikeuchi, Mike Manzel, & TaMara Carlson Woodard all controlled distinct body parts. Did they train their replacement? 😬
Replying to @UGottaWoody
Grogu is a major character in The Mandalorian but not played by a human. The noises they make to communicate is done by a human but that was a creative choice by the producers not a requirement of our contract. That could have been computer generated gurgles just as easily.
