Eclipse

This mess is great...but i wish it didnt exist

I was at a store and saw a issue of Heathcliff #12 going for $800 and was a little confused as to why, then i searched ebay and saw the same price range (and higher). Any reason why? And are there any other Star comics that are worth a lot of money these days? I might have to dig out the old box of comics that i considered worthless and go through it.

So mad this isnt going to New York. We were supposed to work on Silk before it got canned and i would have loved to work on this instead

How hard is it to make the actual Transformers movie that everyone wants to see, which is a story with the original stars from the original cartoon with characters that don't look like a metal disaster like the Bayverse does? The first 5 minutes of Bumblebee with everyone on cybertron is what we want.

That's horrible. Im local 52 myself. Hate to hear things like this.

I just finished season 4...excellent show

So uh, yeah. Anything in the news recently?

Hit up Burgerstrause around the corner when your there, excellent burgers

Sorry to hear this. Never met him but i always thought he lived by me in Jersey. Anyone know what town he lived in?

It was have supposed to have started already, and i was supposed to have been working on it

I think it should be a sub-forum in the water cooler, like it's a subforum under comics general now

My friend who works at Silvercup Studios in Long Island City in Queens, NY said that they will start filming again in January. 

That's possible, i just mean the other shows went back last week. I spoke to the art director on this show a few days ago and he said they didnt give anyone a definite return date yet.

Great show, and its like 3 minutes from my house

I thought it looked decent. Plus it had Sydney Sweeney, and i love her.

Isn't this because of the complete rewrite? 

Yes

All of the NY shows except this one are back in business. Sets are standing (i saw a few of them during construction) but everything is just remaining on the stages and the crew is on hold until they are ready to go back.

Maybe you guys will in the future and maybe you should if not getting what you deserve. Nothing can happen or be completed without you all. Is your contract up in 24 or 25?

It's up in '24. By the time everyone is up and running again i don't see them striking again. But let's see what happens with the teamsters whose contract is up at the same time, Lindsey Dougherty seems like a tough one.

So tell me, why has our union, IATSE, in it's 126 year history, has never gone on strike yet the actors and writers and directors do?

 

 

Because our leadership sucks and caves and tells us" just be grateful your working"

for 35 years. 

As far as the 80% vs the 20%:

1. I figured that was common sense and didn't need to be brought to your attention

2. Just goes to show you how SAG treats their own

Well you don't sound like you enjoy it that much.

Yes, so the actors can sit in their air conditioned trailers (after making sure to lecture crew how "we're all equal and in this together", waiting for their Starbucks, not wearing masks on set (even tho SAG is the one demanding crew wear masks), crying about global warming as their limousines idle with air conditioning on, and on and on and on....

Most of the time on set 80% of the actors are sitting on crappy chairs at folding tables looking bored out of their mind waiting for the time they are needed on set for 12 hours a day making not that much money. Don't judge them by the 20% of that get dressing rooms and trailers. And the masking ended late April or early May for us in the business. Have you ever even been on set?

Finally we can get back to work

In terms of independent productions, outside of the main studio's is there anything available?

Is it just the streaming platforms that are locked down, feeding their own content.   But there are independent content producers with Amazon etc.

Hopefully I'm not being grossly naive here about how the whole system works from your side 

There are around 60 productions in NY on hold right now because of the strike ready to go

Honestly, there is so much media out there that this can go on for another year and I wouldn't be upset.

I would, because of this strike me and my whole union have been out of work since june.
