I once confided in our show's exec about the toxic work environment in the room and she hugged me and said she would take care of it and the next day I got fired lol

the WGA recently put out a letter claiming my strategy is to divide the unions by settling with the DGA to force a bad deal on the writers. I want to be very clear: the AMPTP hates ALL artists and unions equally, the DGA has just historically been willing to do what we tell them

“Hey, we just heard back from the DGA. Unfortunately, they’re going in a different direction. But they remain big fans and they’re excited to see what you do next!”

I finally watched COCAINE BEAR and it reminded of something I have been talking about in my classes on how screenwriters who write original movies can work around Hollywood’s obsession with pre-existing I.P. #screenwriting 🧵

As someone who has worked on the corporate advertising/marketing side of media for my entire career, Tom is dead on.

who gonna tell her

Screenwriting Twitter friends! Hit me up on Threads at threads.net/@smcharlip

ok yes two major Guilds are simultaneously striking for the first time in 60 years and The Nanny just held a global press conference in which she compared the state of Hollywood to the beginnings of the French Revolution but overall i’d say we’re in a good place, strategically

"We're the reasonable ones, now why won't you let us scan you for a hundred bucks and own your voice and likeness forever?" is a hell of a flex.

I’ve been a professional screenwriter 20+ years and a professional actor 30+ years. I’m in for as long as it takes. Stay the course. If no one breaks ranks, it’s solved faster.

As promised: thanks for the material Deadline

SAG joining us on the lines, WGA welcomes and embraces your hotness:

Time for a revolution.

Hollywood isn’t collapsing, Hollywood is changing. We’re building a better & more equitable industry where people can make a living & diverse voices get paid their due. So no, we’re not fucked, we’re making it a place for everyone, not only the rich get to be filmmakers/actors.

and taxpayers should strike from having to subsidize the cost of Walmart’s labor (via public services like food stamps), putting money in their owner’s pockets! wait … that goes for Hollywood too 🧐

LOUDER FOR THE PEOPLE IN THE BACK!

Bob Iger is completely out of touch if he thinks the unions are the ones being unrealistic here.

I applaud you, sir.
