Personally I'd rather see the entire Hollywood movie industry fall apart than the strike fail. Movies won't stop being made, they will just stop being sponsored by worker abuse, and if that means no more millions of dollars worth epics then so be it idc

EDIT: OK this is gaining way too much attention while being vague and hyperbolic and ranty so let's make one thing clear - I am NOT lauding projects which don't adhere to union requirements, this is about the fact that big studios pretend like they are the only ones who can give you entertainment and if they can't make projects, you'll be sad and bored forever, and also that the only worthwhile pieces of media are projects worth an ungodly amount of money. This is obviously a lie, since there have been studios that agreed to work under new union requirements, and that's what I mean by "movies won't stop being made" - there will always always always be projects, big and small, that won't ignore what unions have to say. And in a dreamlike hypothetical future where big Hollywood industry falls apart, other smaller and more manageable studios will rise to take their place, and they'll have a cautionary tale on what will happen to them if they try to push it again.

#i literally see no downside to this situation. workplaces will have to be rearranged #but that is better than continuing on like this. anything is better than empowering predatory businessmen because we want movies. #eernatalk

I'm reading a book written by an American author where the main girl is named Ladislav bc her dad wanted to name her something dainty and feminine (I'm rolling on the floor laughing every time her full name is mentioned)

#the entire historical background is sooooo...... it's...... soooooooooooooo..... well. Ladislav being a dainty female name. #but the sibling dynamic in this? oh wow. oh WOW. i am SEATED. i am FED. i had to pause reading bc the tension is about to implode #eernatalk #(it's and i darken by kiersten white)

Speaking of songs from shows I'm not into, It's Over Isn't It is still one of the Best Musical Moments I've ever heard. The yearning the inability to move on the confusion. Delicious

#it's about the gradually more desperate IT'S OVER ISN'T IT WHY DO I STILL FEEL THIS WAY??????s #eernatalk #also my spotify is glitching so no matter what song i play it shows up as cruisin for a bruisin from teen beach movie #i still hear the song i played but it registers as that one

"there's lots of infodumping and I dislike it but it's the beginning of the story so I guess it has to be that way" "yeah it's OOC that this character is acting like this but since we can't read their thoughts I guess it has to be that way" save me

#''i guess it can't be helped'' IT CAN. STAND UP STOP ENABLING BAD WRITING #eernatalk #i should just stop interacting with any reviews ever honestly

saw Mean Girls 2024. it was very bad except for that one shot of Renee Rapp during Someone Gets Hurt that was inspired

#''why does she have to do everything sexily. why is this directed like el tango de roxanne. wh- OOOOHHHHHHHHHH - why is he not singing.'' #eernatalk #wait i am lying there were a couple of good jokes #i died at the icarly theme song part it was super set up #also whoremones but that might be bc i am PMSing and it felt like it was seeing right through me #WAIT ALSO REGINALD. ANOTHER GOOD SET UP. yeah i def laughed out loud

a recently widowed woman who hated her husband saying "I am brand new, and I do not even know how to breathe air he does not exhale" goes too hard to have come from a Bridgerton spinoff and yet here we are

#lady danbury's storyline is somehow both the best and the worst thing abt the show it's crazy #NO SORRY the best thing abt the show is india amarteifio but like the second best can be lady d's storyline #eernatalk

Internet popular things in Greece I thought were gonna be overrated but absolutely weren't

1) cats

2) oranges

#the cats are SO DIFFERENT HERE. their FACES ARE SO LONG AND WISE. they are SO BIG. their muscles are ENORMOUS. #and there is SOOO MANY OF THEM.... I come from a catfriendly island myself but NOTHING like this #EVERYONE IN ATHENS HAD CUTE HOMEMADE SHELTERS FOR STRAYS OR AT LEAST FOOD AT THE DOOR #and the oranges #that one was like “wtf do you mean oranges are tastier in greece. they are oranges” but. it is so true #they are soooo fragnant and i dont even wanna talk abt the amount pf portokalopita ive consumed over the past 10 days #i buy a piece and eat it for 3 days bc they are ENORMOUS and swimming in syrup and i get satisfied from like 5 bites #all in all. 5 days left. but i dont wanna go home i am having so much fun this is so fun #eernatalk

watched Hazbin Hotel and no comment but it was worth it for all the fun of listening to Erika Henningsen and Blake Roman doing their theater kid voice acting run

#there's just something sooooooooo fun. that aspect that usually makes people not like theater. but in animation it is needed #eernatalk #it goes to show performances can really really make me enjoy writing i usually wouldn't. jokes especially #after i heard the pig was named ''fat nuggets'' i lost my shit for like 10 minutes straight. i cried. my brother got worried for my wellbei

Watching this W.I.T.C.H. deep dive and it is awakening so many memories... But specifically regarding the question of why the girls get aged up. Idk about anyone else but as a kid I was terrified of physically becoming an adult while still yearning for the fun aspects of it you see in media, so the fantasy of "cosplaying" adulthood whenever you wish and then returning to being a kid was def part of the appeal of the story.

#like i was 10 when the comics stopped being published right on that issue where the girls see their futures #and i remember being SOOO freaked out that they were adults all the time.... seemed so scary to me djsjsbsb #kid me didn't know that turning 20 is the best thing ever poor kid me #eernatalk #i wonder how i would view the comics now i have been meaning to reread for ages lololol
