love the call out that they dont create anything. tired of money giving evil old fucks creative ownership
I've been calling them WORMs for about a year. White, old, rich, men. See the republican party as well lol.
That's pretty good. Though maybe 'wyrm' is more accurate, since they hoard wealth and destroy everything else.
I doubt too many white young rich men are in CEO positions (some sure, but not the majority)
No, but their trust funds are bad enough.
The real irony about the AI controversy is that I could see AI replacing the studio execs long before it can replace the creative people.
An AI compare scripts to existing scripts that are popular. Send the scripts to actors and directors based on similarity to the work they've done before. If there's enough popular actors agreeing to work on the project and if it's part of an existing popular franchise, green light it.
Of course having AI do the jobs of studio execs would mean we'd have a lot of big budget movies that are kinda unoriginal and a lot of typecasting. But that's exactly what we have now.
AI could easily do the job of a studio exec.
If I saw Ron Perlman kill someone, I would assume it was for a good reason. And then provide him with an alibi.
They should send him to the negotiation table. Just sit there and stare at the execs on the other side.
Holy shit. I wouldn't want Ron Perlman out to get me, he's one scary MF.
If it really was him, then along with the "it's very disturbing" public comment, Bob Iger seems to have lost his knack for negotiating.
Bob Iger is a jackass who got greedy coming back to Disney and expected he swoop in and save the day.
I'm all for naming and shaming, but what's the evidence it was Iger? I'm not doubting it, just would rather have the receipts if they exist.
Perlman specifically mentions $27 million, and it's known that Iger's deal with Disney was for $54 over over 2 years. Maybe he's not the only CEO earning that, but he's the one that most people would associate with that figure.
Okay, so it's pretty clear Iger is who Perlman is hinting at, but is there solid reason to believe Iger was the quoted exec? That vile sentiment could have come from any number of bastards at the top.
Only that Perlman is saying "we all know who it is", which suggests there aren't other candidates up for debate as for who it could be.
During previous strikes, I think it was relatively small groups of men who actually got the negotiating done on the AMPTP's behalf, rather than the AMPTP itself. Iger was a part of those groups in the past, so maybe that's another reason.
When I was on twitter, I followed less than 10 people. But Ron Perlman was one of those that I followed.
Dude's always saying things that are exactly the kinds of things you'd expect Ron Perlman to say.
And the person who said it is who exactly?
I had no idea he was a New Yorker! This is such a New York accent.
Why do people continue to say stupid things on public forums? I understand the feeling, I don’t understand the posting.
He seems very angry and I understand why. I agree with him actually. My guess is that he believes the strong language threatening homelessness to people deserves strong language demanding class action back.
It's very unclear from the quoting here, but he's responding to an anonymous executive who said they should just drag out negotiations until they start losing homes to force them into a deal. So Perlman is defending the good folks here.
