One of the nice things is that you get paid your rate (daily, weekly, film, etc. ) even if you are done after an hour or two that day. If it turns into a really long day like 16 hours plus you get “Golden Time” which is a full days pay for every hour over.

Now you are being silly. You know you have no friends.

Exactly. Using RobAnybody's example, that red shirt and barista actually get paid very well for that one day of work. They also get free food, a pay bonus if they get lunch late, a pay bonus if it rains on them, a pay bonus for changing clothes, etc.

True, but so do electricians, construction workers, etc…with none of the perks. How many really good CEOs are there? (Not saying I like these guys) They are making decisions involving billions of dollars and a bad CEO can destroy a company and the livelihood of thousands.

It is, but in comparison, the top QBs in the NFL make more than 3-10 on the list over a 5-year period. People justify QB pay by the amount of money they make for the team, so one could say the above make decisions that make money for the company and shareholders. Crazy amounts of money either way though.

As far as actors go unless you get an established role on a series, are a star, or in demand as a character actor, it is the best side job there is. There is no way to guarantee a living wage for the amount of people that want to be actors full time.

I'm surprised. Didn't you watch it in the theater when it came out??

It will be epic! I only hope she gets the residuals she deserves for every hour it is streamed. Being in the dress of an iconic character was brutal for her and she better get paid for it.

Nice pick up!

Don’t tempt him, he will do it! I will also add that this was pre-internet days when people watched a movie without dissecting each frame. If someone saw a person in the background or something that wasn’t supposed to be there the lore would be that it was a ghost or something.

That would be a real shame. Hopefully Rachel Zegler doesn’t decide to leave Hollywood as well.

You are forgetting that we didn’t have big screen tvs with high definition back then. You could get away with a lot more compared to now.

I didn’t say buy one now. We were discussing the crazy money spent on comics and cards when home interest rates were 2.5%

Why were people using free money on collectibles during a pandemic? Would have been a great time to save, invest, buy a house, or pay off any debt.

She has a right to feel that way but isn’t the show ending anyway? Another way she could have said it is, “I appreciate everything that Stranger Things has did for me. Now that it is ending, I am looking forward to new projects that I am passionate about.” Sometimes actors try to distance themselves from shows that made them famous and it can be hit or miss. I am sure she will be fine but it will be hard to top this character.

I’m sure we all remember the modern to go coffee cup in GOT. I can see how this would happen. There is often a lot of downtime when switching camera angles and someone must have set it down. Usually someone scans the background and checks for these things or catches it during editing though.

These covers are fantastic!

I know a few that are back in the Writers’ Room and working again. I expected more show cancellations but luckily they made the cut. Heels was cancelled though! Starz cancels that but continues with 3 different shows in the “Power” universe.

That is always a concern. While proving something is fake (as should be done), it unfortunately also creates a training guide for future fakes.

My personal fact checker should be along soon. Since I know what I am talking about, maybe he will mansplain things to you instead. (That was an impressive wall of text by the way but a lot of truth to it)

As I said in the writer’s strike thread, just because something can be done cheaper and easier doesn’t mean it should. Extras in movies/tv are some of the most “interesting” people I have ever met. Take that how you will. They do serve a function though. They create realism and an atmosphere. If you replace them with AI figures then the talent is essentially doing an entire movie in green screen. Sure, that’s fine for certain types of movies but I think it would really change the performance in others. Some will balk at doing it.

Well done!

I preferred to be on here while being paid by my job. To deal with a few posters here, I figured it was well deserved.

That’s really cool!
