SAG-AFTRA, which has been on strike for 114 days, did not give a timeline for when it would respond.
What the fuck are the studios gonna do, make movies and shows without actors?
Highlights: The negotiating committee of the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, told its members on Saturday that it had received a “Last, Best and Final Offer” from the major entertainment studios as a strike that has brought much of Hollywood to a standstill continued for a 114th day.
“We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals,” the negotiating committee said. They did not say when they would respond to the offer, which came after an hourlong video conference call that included top studio executives.
Included in the offer was a wage increase that could be the highest in four decades, according to a person familiar with the offer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. The studios also offered the actors a new way to determine residuals for streaming programs based on performance metrics, and protections on artificial intelligence, including consent and compensation requirements. The studios also offered an increase to the pension and health funds.
It's just awkwardly worded. The SAG reported they've received an offer from the studio, in which they studio called "the last, best, and final" offer they're (sag) going to get.
It's blatantly untrue, though. If the actors don't accept it are the studios going to just close up shop? No. So it's absolutely not the final offer unless they accept it.
They already did, it's called "reality" television and it's why we have the show COPS. However bored people have more entertainment options this time around, and more direct sources of information about the strike.
So does this mean actors will leave Hollywood en masse, buy their own cameras and equipment, use open source CGI or just rip off the bigwigs' programs, and we can go back to making movies for art and not for capitalist commodities and mindless propaganda?
Yeah! I'm looking forward to seeing Bandernick Comberbush and Elozibeth Ilson in the next Dr. Strange movie. It's not like anything in the previous movies endeared me to those characters.
Why do you think this is about working with popular IPs? This is about day players working two jobs to survive and not even making enough money to qualify for SAG-AFTRA health insurance because pay is so shit, coupled with the fact that the studios want to steal their likeness and use it in perpetuity using CG.

How is this even a question? I was very clear. But to be clearer for those of you in the back, what are the actors going to act in if they can't act in the movies which the studios own the rights to?
Working two jobs to survive
Okay, bud. I don't think you know what the word 'survive' means. It's not like these people are 'surviving' off of peanut-butter and jelly sandwiches. Try to learn the difference between 'needs' and 'wants' before you make this about 'survival.'
