If ANYONE ever tries to tell me that toning down or removing queer & trans themes is ultimately 'beneficial' bc those will somehow ruin its reception, know that you are WRONG ✊#Nimona

I’m gonna need everyone who told me three years ago that I was too hard on the Black tile posters and that this time was different to take a long hard look in the mirror and then admit publicly just how wrong you were and why.

It's baffling, but it appears that major American movie studios' seemingly foolproof strategy of spending hundreds of millions of dollars to put out horrible-looking garbage that no moderately intelligent person could possibly be interested in watching has begun to backfire?

Diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives are not “causing a decrease in writing quality”. What is impacting what you’re seeing on screen more than anything are studio mandates and executive notes. They mute writers voices — regardless of gender, ethnicity or sexuality.

There will never be another cult classic. If your movie or show underperforms, it will be removed from sight, and that eventual groundswell of support that's turned everything from Blade Runner to Heathers from disastrous flops to huge successes will never find it. The end.

"I’m $50,000 in debt, and I share a bed with my 9-year-old in a one-bedroom apartment in Inglewood, California, because I can’t afford Los Angeles rent. My story highlights why my union, the Writers Guild of America, is on strike." #WGAstrike fastcompany.com/90918934/my-st…

I’m no millionaire studio exec, but if I saw a $15M horror movie with so so reviews make $30M opening weekend and a $300M tentpole with so so reviews make $60M opening weekend, I’d strongly reconsider my “everything must be $300M and based on nostalgia” business model.

We spent months pitching, interviewing, and meeting. Now I can finally share that...we're making a movie! Gracias McDonald's for the 75k and THANK YOU for taking a chance on queer Latino stories when most seem to be running from them right now. SpotlightDorado.com🌻🌻🌻

The buried lede in this story: it’s the shutting down of the international shoots that’s REALLY scaring the AMPTP. That was the backup plan, the loophole around the WGA. If SAG•AFTRA strikes, they’ve got NOTHING filling the fridge, even if they shouldn’t be shooting it anyway.

Forcing SAG to use a mediator bc the AMPTP refuses to meet their very reasonable demands, is truly a last ditch effort by studios who only now are realizing that they grossly underestimated the current labor movement & the existential crisis facing the industry. Stand strong, SAG

Whenever we eventually go back to work and whatever deal we get, collectively we should, in our actions and dealings moving forward, remind the studios how their willingness to dismiss us is going to mean we’ll be driving a hard bargain everyday in every way from now on.

I’m confused. we just supposed to work with these ppl again after this shit is over?

Together, We’re about to reshape the industry. The actors, the writers and the direc— Wait. I mean the actors and the writers. The directors, well, they got their “historic” deal while we’re about to go make REAL Hollywood history happen.

barbenheimer being the last event before hollywood shutdown actually makes so much sense it’s like the roaring 20s into the great depression

HOOO-BOY can we relate: I can’t help but wonder, “Am I too Black? Am I too queer? And people just don’t want to say that?” Because it seems like I develop things with these companies and they just never happen for reasons unknown. hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-f…

Looking forward to watching another very expensive and highly professional PR firm get absolutely humiliated by a few bored TV writers tweeting from the Bob’s Big Boy bathroom.

Just want to point out that the most vocal leaders that have emerged during this strike has been LGBTQ writers. Why? Cause they’re some of the writers being lowballed or taking advantage the most by streamers and studios. They tell sell the dream of having your

We can still be mean to Zaslav though, right?
