@facetedcarapace I wanna buy a guitar sometime in the next 6-18 months so I'm curious.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@facetedcarapace In what way?

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@powerfulwizerd There's always the much more horrifying Entwhistle solo track the Window Shopper

Is it so much to ask that everyone involved in the production get a cut? Is it so unreasonable for the workers to share in the profits of their labour?

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@Cli_Chey @benceze @alexL_E_I Right, there should be the same for all crew. That's the entire argument.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@Cli_Chey @benceze @alexL_E_I Yes they do, base residual rates are negotiated by SAG

[Andy Young @AndyYoungFilm]

Sure is a lot of “Obsession’s Art director should keep her trap shut about long hours/poor conditions and be grateful for the low rate she got” talk today from WGA/SAG members I marched on a picket line for 🤔

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@benceze @alexL_E_I This is literally the foundational argument of unions. Do you think Unions should not be involved in film production? The whole argument the person made was that they should have forced the production to flip to Union, which would have protected them.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@benceze @alexL_E_I Equity is by nature not guaranteed which is why in a majority of jobs that offer equity also pay a base salary.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@alexL_E_I Most jobs that offer equity also pay hourly or salary it's such an absurd argument I feel like these people must be bots.

@jim_gosling @UpdateTheGrids For one thing, the house can only be sold once, a film can sell hundreds of thousands of millions of times.

Why do card processors get a cut of every sale, by your logic?

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@batsight1 @alexL_E_I This isn't true of literally any other job - why do actors get residuals?

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@ReelTommyB @alexL_E_I What's incoherent about it

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@benceze @alexL_E_I SAG negotiates residuals for actors, what do you call that.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@matty_b @alexL_E_I But this literally happens for actors who get residuals etc.

@Sufimindtricks2 @barbarismcrit The Wailing is fantastic, the Bring Her Back guys (also did Talk to Me) just seem to think the scariest thing is blunt force trauma to the heads of 13 year old boys.

[Million Dollar Gabey @Gabewatch]

@staticbluebat Yeah I mean this is precisely what SAG does for actors, though even in those deals you can get screwed if youre not top of the call sheet.
