Absolutely NO discussion about writers/actors striking???

Even if we conveniently don't mention all the support industries that will be devastated by film productions closing, does everyone here have no problem with screenwriters and now actors wanting more money/benefits/residuals, etc. for their work?

All the early indicators are saying this could last at least into September/October. While there are enough completed productions "in the can" that will continue to be released for the rest of this year, eventually there will be nothing new. How long will watching old movies/TV shows satisfy us?

They’ll work it out.
It’s in their best interests to sit down and cut some deals.

I have no problem at all. New movies suck. Time for people to watch the real thing. It's the difference between a beautiful woman and a trans dude.

60/70s (music, too) live on forever!

In the past 10 years I have almost stopped watching contemporary films and tv shows. This strike could go on for years and I wouldn't notice it.
