    13:03 Your assessment of AI is 100% accurate. Thank you for saying this.

    Its fundamental limitation is that it's not creative. It's limited to the inputs on which its pattern recognition algorithm is trained, and without continuous human input, it just eats and regurgitates its own derivative outputs.

    “If something keeps making money, everyone involved should get a percentage of that money”

    This is basically only a thing in tv, movies, and music, and some individually negotiated royalty contracts on patents and stuff.

    99% of economic output doesn’t work this way. Every person who helped build a Walmart location or came once to fix a toilet there doesn’t get a cut of the money it makes forever.

    If you’re getting paid below minimum wage and the rest is made up from a deal like this then cool. Otherwise, this just comes off as entitled. You want to get paid up front AND forever.

    Also, media today is complete garbage and 98% of the writers working today don’t even deserve their job much less more pay for churning out political propaganda barely masked as entertainment and just plain bad writing.

    They’ve tanked so many movies and shows and want a reward for that?

    How about they get a bigger cut when their drivel makes money but they also have to pay up when it loses money. That’s fair. Oh but they don’t want fair, they want their cake and eat it too.

    Drew is one of the only people I see who talks about and who actually understands art and creativity, and anyone who can’t do that should not be trying to tell writers their jobs aren’t important. Unfortunately many of these people are the ones who are in charge of it.

    You really told the other side of the story really well and highlighted some excellent points.
    I've watched A LOT of Hollywood critics who just want all writers and Hollywood to burn, but they are just so bitter about it.
    You have actually presented the other side of the argument in a really articulate and relatable way, presenting the correct and true information in an easy to digest way.
    And I totally agree with everything you said about AI, people are still on the hype train a year later, and this bubble is going to burst at some point.

    I love how people act like everyone in hollywood is rich when it benefits them (by saying the writers deserve to lose their jobs because they’re already rich), but when it doesn’t benefit them, California has a homelessness problem

    Its almost as if the location you live in doesn’t mean you’re rich. Also, its insane to be antiworker. No one even cares to search how much you would make with a job. They’re the type to see “Up to $15/hr” and assume they’re making $15/hr. You won’t, it says “up to”, chances are, you’ll need to work the highest possible position to make the max amount of money

    I’m 19, I’ve had 4 jobs and have been working since 13 (started in a family-owned restaurant). Employers don’t care about their employees. They don’t pay like they promise and they don’t care if you struggle, which is why writers were on strike. Its why workers continue to strike. This many people don’t unionize because they’re spoiled brats who think they deserve the entire profit of the film/series. No, they’re unionizing because their hollywood job isn’t even enough to survive in this god awful economy

    Public School teacher, we WISH we could all strike at the same time. Many states don't allow teachers to have unions and some states made it illegal for teachers to strike. The other problem is that some states and districts utilize the NEA or National Education Association amd other states and districts have their own separate union. So coordinating a large multi state strike would take a lot of organization that we don't have the time or ability to do right now because there are people literally trying to burn and tear apart public schools brick by brick and we are dying out here. We are fighting book bans that are being fear mongered about a single fucking book that most likely wasnt ever in a school library in the first place and now its turned into, "any book that might have liberal talking points, mentions of sexuality, and whatever they are defining as porn now." We are literally just shutting down school and classroom libraries out of malicious compliance and parents are mad that their kids don't have free access to books anymore. Well gee dipshit. Who could have possibly thought of these outcomes? Oh the Librarians and teachers? Fuck those COMMUNISTS. People are out here calling us groomers who indocrinate their kids into socialism and the LGBTQ+ community. Babe we cant get them to put their name on their paper, can't get them to stop using the n-word or the f-word, we can't get them to stop watching skibidi toilet during direct instruction. How do you think we are doing that? How?

    I beg people, if you can, please volunteer at your local school. Even one day a month would be a god send. Come see what the hell is actually going on, because its absolutely NOT what you are hearing on the news. Its kids going hungry because governors refused federal money for free meals for all students, its those same starving kids who only eat Takis and wont eat lunch when they can afford it because it has zero taste or is straight up gross. It's physical fights on a daily basis that staff legally can't do jack shit about. Its students who need to be expelled and placed in alternative programming sent home for a day and come back with no plan going forward, no further restrictions, still in classes with other students and staff they have verbally or physically threatened. It's students not even attempting to do anything at all because, "I don't need any of this to be a content creator miss." Its kids not knowing they are creating child 🌽 of themselves and distributing it and having to interviene. Its kids you know are being abused but the system can't move them to a safe place because they don't have the resources either. Its being given nothing for classroom supplies and being expected to drop THOUSANDS on your own classroom each fucking year. Its kids stealing those things from your classroom and not getting in trouble for it because, "well you bought it with your own money." Its admin not supporting their staff. Its admin not being firm with the parents. Its parents having ridiculous expectations for you. Its parents not parenting and expecting you to do all that shit for them. Its admin giving you bullshit new "inititives" they will never actually go full in on and then blame the teachers when it didn't work. Its the government determining funding based off of test performance and graduation, so you get less resources and are expected to improve. Its admin goosing transcripts to drag as many fucking warm bodies across the stage so they don't lose money, but the students didnt actually earn that degree at all so it means nothing. Its being abused and yelled at daily for pennies. Its having to come to activities outside of your contract time, not get paid for it, and if you don't get fired for not being a "team player" even though you have to work another fucking job because teaching pays you god damn crumbs. Its being told to come in and set up your classroom for xyz oh and you don't get paid for that. Its districts spending thousands on corporations making "progressive teacher training" that doesn't fucking work, but they soent a whole lot of money on it so we have to do it. Its a whole lot of bullshit, for nothing. Amd we cant do anything about it because there's a god damn cult that thinks we all worship satan, are queer, show children how to have sex, are bad at our jobs, are communists, and definitely all have inappropriate relationships with every single one of our students and convince them to hate their parents. 🤬 I wish people knew how truly awful it is currently. How many talented teachers the system has scared away. How unenticing it is to get new teachers. And how everything works against you all the time. Teachers are having more and more mental health crisises and leaving in droves. Its a fucking mess and our kids are so god damn screwed its not even funny.

    People definitely associate anyone in Hollywood with what they don't like in Hollywood and that one tweet proves it, when Robots were advancing many news networks assuming that robots would replace blue collar jobs ran press releases mocking them telling them to "learn to code" and now that AI is being proposed to end creative jobs, those same people hurt by those press releases are now firing back but at the wrong people.

  38. @ashram12

    September 24, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    In reference to your comment about some people being happy about writers not getting paid fairly, it's just that in mainstream culture, any artistic career is not seen as a "real" job. I'm a graphic designer, and the impact of my job is "invisible": nobody notices when there's proper spacing between lines of text. It's only when you see a bunch of text crammed together that you realize "That's kind of hard to read actually".

    September 24, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    11:30 You're missing the context of where "learn to code" came from. A lot of left-leaning people mocked people who worked in the fossil fuel industry for losing jobs by telling them to learn to code; that was the origin of the phrase being used like that. It's not being used towards left-leaning people as a serious suggestion; it's turning the phrase back at them.

    I agree with most of the points made in this video, but the argument that people who complain about the incessant creation of sequels and remakes should just not watch those films is silly. Even if they avoid watching those films, the problem will still exist. Hollywood is less original now than it has ever been and it’s a real issue.

  47. @TheBananaApproaches

    September 24, 2024 at 5:37 pm

    In addition, usually writers can't write in peace and have non-creative executives telling them what to change/write/whatever which is kinda the whole reason tv/films are not very good right now.

Strictly star Kristina Rihanoff confesses she ‘pushed’ daughter, eight, to dance for 12 HOURS in one day for competition

Strictly star Kristina Rihanoff confesses she ‘pushed’ daughter, eight, to dance for 12 HOURS in one day for competition


STRICTLY star Kristina Rihanoff has confessed she “pushed” her daughter, eight, to dance for 12 HOURS in one day for a competition.

The dancer, who quit the BBC show in 2015, shares her only child with her fiance Ben Cohen.

Kristina and the former rugby ace met when they were partnered for the 11th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and fell in love.

They then welcomed their daughter Mila in 2016, before getting engaged in the Maldives in 2022.

Now it seems their daughter is following in mum’s footsteps and becoming a dancer.

However, Kristina has admitted that she “pushes” Mila to do her best.

In August, her only child won Juvenile Ballroom & Latin Soloist Of The Year at a prestigious ceremony.

She then revealed how, at another competition, Mila danced from 8am to 8am to 8pm almost non-stop.

Speaking to this week’s Close magazine, the former Strictly star said: “She was incredible and had around 140 dances.

“I did feel a bit of guilt as a dance mum, pushing her to dance for 12 hours, but she was fine.”

Kristina added: “Afterwards she was doing somersaults and headstands – I was exhausted just watching her!”

Meanwhile, yesterday it was revealed how Kristina and Ben had put their £1.75millon house up for sale after revealing they’re fighting to save their marriage.

Ben Cohen ‘fighting to save relationship & home’ with Strictly star, court told

They’ve been plagued with relationship and financial woes, which they laid bare in court.

Now, their family home in Sywell has been put up for sale, the MailOnline reports.

The couple bought their Northamptonshire home in 2016 and put it up for sale on September 19.

The sale of the house comes after their money troubles were brought to light, following the Covid pandemic in 2020.

Rugby World Cup winner Ben also recently appeared alongside Kristina after she was caught driving her £30,000 Audi Q3 without insurance.

During a hearing at Northampton Crown Court Ben said he had ignored a text message from his insurance company.

He confirmed that he had been solely responsible for sourcing insurance for the couple’s cars.

The court was told that Mr Cohen had been searching for cheaper insurance online at the end of February after being quoted £7,500 by Aviva.

The court also heard they had set up several businesses, including a Yoga studio, which had suffered as a result of Covid.

Ben said: “I get up every day and I fight not to lose everything – to lose my cars and my house and my relationship. I’m so overdrawn.”

When questioned about the strains on his and Kristina’s relationship, he said: “We’re still living together.”

BEN COHEN AND KRISTINA RHIANOFF’S ROCKY RELATIONSHIP

The couple had met when they were partnered for the 11th series of Strictly Come Dancing in 2013, and fell in love.

This was despite Cohen being married at the time to Abby Bray.

Advertisement

Cohen and Rihanoff share daughter Mila, and had planned to tie the knot in Tuscany or Oxfordshire.

He told Hello! Magazine in 2023: “Over the last nine years we’ve been through the wringer.

“To support each other through difficult times in business is the ultimate test in a relationship.

“I’ve watched her flourish, from her becoming a mum to growing as a businesswoman, and it has strengthened our bond.”

The pair previously revealed they got engaged during a sun-soaked Maldives getaway in 2022.

Monsters star sympathizes with Menendez brothers amid series backlash

Monsters star sympathizes with Menendez brothers amid series backlash


Nicholas Chavez, one of the stars of Ryan Murphy’s new true crime drama, Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story, has shared his sympathies with the series’ subjects.

The nine-part Netflix show centers on the gruesome 1989 murders of José and Kitty Menendez by their sons, Lyle and Erik, portrayed by Chavez and Cooper Koch, respectively.

Speaking to People at the New York premiere of Murphy’s other new series, Grotesquerie, Chavez said: “I really sympathize with the brothers, the fact that this was the most traumatic moment of their life, and then having that put on television for the world to see. I would imagine that would be incredibly heavy.”

Of the show’s varied reception, he added: “It’s sensitive subject matter and I imagine that everyone is forming their own interpretations of what happened as we imagined and intended that they would.”

Chavez’s remarks come shortly after the real-life Erik Menendez, who is currently serving a life sentence at the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in California alongside Lyle, accused Murphy of releasing “disheartening slander.”

“I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show. I can only believe they were done so on purpose,” Erik, 53, said in a statement shared to X via his wife Tammi.

The series includes the harrowing sexual abuse that Lyle and Erik alleged to have been perpetrated by their father, José (Javier Bardem).

However, Erik has hit out at Netflix over its “dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime.” He said the series has “taken the painful truths several steps backward – back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women.”

“Those awful lies have been disputed and exposed by countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out. So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander,” he said.

Murphy has since responded to Erik’s claims, telling Entertainment Tonight: “Listen, I think it’s really, really hard if it’s your life to see your life up on screen. I think it’s been 30 years since that case – that’s hard.”

He added that “if you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 percent” of the scripted narrative centers “around the abuse and what they claim happened to them. And we do it very carefully and we give them their day in court and they talk openly about it.”

“We present the facts from their point of view,” Murphy said. “We spent three years researching it – all of that is true.”

Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is out now on Netflix.

Monsters creator Ryan Murphy defends himself from Erik Menendez’s criticism

Monsters creator Ryan Murphy denies Erik Menendez’s claims show has ‘inaccuracies’


Ryan Murphy has responded to Erik Menendez’s accusation that his Netflix series Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story is “dishonest”.

The Menendez brothers were convicted of the 1989 murders of their parents, José and Kitty. They were arrested for first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder outside their home in March 1990 and sentenced to life in prison in 1996. In 2024, new evidence emerged that has the potential to set them free.

Erik Menendez, who is serving a life sentence at the RJ Donovan Correctional Facility in California alongside Lyle, has claimed Murphy’s series, starring Nicholas Alexander Chavez and Cooper Koch, does not accurately portray their crime, and accused the creator of releasing “disheartening slander”.

Speaking to Entertainment Tonight, Murphy defended the Netflix series, saying: “I think it’s interesting that he’s issued a statement without having seen the show. I know he hasn’t seen the show in prison. I hope he does see the show.”

Monsters includes the harrowing sexual abuse that Lyle and Erik alleged to have been perpetrated by their father José (Javier Bardem) but Erik Menendez has accused Murphy of distorting the truth.

Murphy responded: “Listen, I think it’s really, really hard if it’s your life to see your life up on screen. I think it’s been 30 years since that case – that’s hard.”

He added that “if you watch the show, I would say 60 to 65 per cent” of the scripted narrative centres “around the abuse and what they claim happened to them. And we do it very carefully and we give them their day in court and they talk openly about it.”

“We present the facts from their point of view,” the Dahmer director said. “We spent three years researching it – all of that is true.”

In his statement, shared to X/Twitter, Menendez said: “I believed we had moved beyond the lies and ruinous character portrayals of Lyle, creating a caricature of Lyle rooted in horrible and blatant lies rampant in the show. I can only believe they were done so on purpose.

“It is with a heavy heart that I say, I believe Ryan Murphy cannot be this naive and inaccurate about the facts of our lives so as to do this without bad intent.

“It is sad for me to know that Netflix’s dishonest portrayal of the tragedies surrounding our crime have taken the painful truths several steps backward – back through time to an era when the prosecution built a narrative on a belief system that males were not sexually abused, and that males experienced rape trauma differently than women.

“Those awful lies have been disputed and exposed by countless brave victims over the last two decades who have broken through their personal shame and bravely spoken out. So now Murphy shapes his horrible narrative through vile and appalling character portrayals of Lyle and of me and disheartening slander.

He continued: “Is the truth not enough? Let the truth stand as the truth. How demoralizing to know that one man with power can undermine decades of progress in shedding light on childhood trauma. Violence is never an answer, never a solution, and is always tragic.

“As such, I hope it is never forgotten that violence against a child creates a hundred horrendous and silent crime scenes darkly shadowed behind glitter and glamour and rarely exposed until tragedy penetrates everyone involved. To all those who have reached out and supported me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”

Ellen DeGeneres’s Netflix special is bizarre, unfunny and self-pitying

Ellen DeGeneres’s Netflix special is bizarre, unfunny and self-pitying


In 2020, a Los Angeles-based Twitter comedian promised to donate two dollars to a food bank for every “insane story” he received about Ellen DeGeneres “being mean”. Six hundred dollars later, the platform had become a hotbed of unverified tales of the apparently super-friendly star rampaging through shops, restaurants, studio backlots and down the corridors of her eponymous talk show. The queen of nice? More like Godzilla with a pixie cut, the stories claimed. Satan in sneakers. A grinning tyrant armed with nothing but a Lizzo CD and nasty intentions.

Four years later, the Ellen show is dead, brought to an undignified close following a behind-the-scenes investigation into allegations of a toxic workplace. And DeGeneres herself has dropped off the celebrity radar, having admitted to occasionally being “sad, mad, anxious, frustrated and impatient”, but denying ever being outright mean. What a strange pseudo-end to more than three decades in showbiz, you might think. That America’s most famous gay woman, who’d long been the face of queer respectability in the mainstream, could be so violently undone by her own hubris.

But if you were to be generous, the “secretly mean” hubbub could have been a real opportunity for DeGeneres to get her bite back. Rather than be shackled to the persona of a milquetoast and inoffensive Obama-era funny lady, she could turn inwards, grapple with her mistakes, and start anew.

Or there is option B, which is to buy some pet chickens, film a Netflix stand-up special, and tell the world that, actually, it was everyone else who was wrong the whole time. For Your Approval, which is streaming now, is a bizarre, unfunny and self-pitying missed opportunity. DeGeneres has stated that it’s her swan song, or a goodbye from showbusiness on her own terms. But it is frustratingly clean, devoid of any real anger or regret, and refuses to depict its star as anything other than an unfairly condemned martyr.

This is partly a result of the context: For Your Approval seems to have been recorded in front of a pre-selected audience of supporters, if not of Ellen fans then at least of Ellen friends. Oprah Winfrey is glimpsed cackling from the crowd at one point, while an enormous cheer goes up after DeGeneres mentions her chat show’s executive producer Andy Lassner – a name absolutely no one outside of DeGeneres’s inner circle will recognise.

It’s a decision that not only wraps DeGeneres in cotton wool, but indirectly speaks to one of the problems with her old talk show that she clearly hasn’t come to terms with – that this was a woman who presented as being one of us, but who really wasn’t. Over time, the gap between DeGeneres and us mere mortals at home went from a short leap to a chasm. You can only hear so many stories about Ellen fraternising with Jennifer Aniston or George W Bush before beginning to suspect she lives on a different planet.

Much of For Your Approval trades in the same anodyne observational comedy that made DeGeneres so agreeable if unchallenging in the first place. There is an extended bit on parallel parking and the trouble with modern windshield wipers, which is indeed about as funny as it sounds. Likewise she expresses her disappointment with pigeons.

Of course, DeGeneres knows why you’re really here. It’s there in the special’s mortifying opening scene, in which a misty-eyed and terrified-looking DeGeneres stares directly into the camera while archive footage of her career and its loud implosion is projected onto her dressing room mirror. “I got kicked out of showbusiness because I’m mean,” she announces to her audience early on, before adding an ironic zinger: “And you can’t be mean and be in showbusiness.”

Missing, though, is any real explanation as to why she was “kicked out”. DeGeneres’s exodus is framed as a strange and mysterious thing that merely happened to her, and not something partly – or entirely – set in motion by her alleged behaviour. She suggests that the wind simply changed one day – the people “decided” she was mean, and that, really, she just wasn’t cut out to run a daily talk show, anyway.

Her conclusion, somewhat inevitably, is that she simply #Girlbossed too close to the sun. Whereas men can manage and delegate forcefully and angrily, she says, women in positions of power have to be kind and placating. Anything that disrupts that unspoken agreement is frowned upon – and it was this, she insists, that got people’s backs up. “I’m honest, I’m generous, I’m sensitive and I’m thoughtful,” she says at the end of her 70-minute set. “I’m tough, I’m impatient and I’m demanding. I’m direct. I’m a strong woman.” The moment is cookie-cutter, second-wave feminist and cloyingly neo-liberal by design – I half expected P!nk to fly out on a trapeze to echo the sentiment.

Wistful thinking: DeGeneres prepares to take the stage in ‘For Your Approval’

Wistful thinking: DeGeneres prepares to take the stage in ‘For Your Approval’ (Netflix)

You wonder if DeGeneres’s resolute defensiveness is a product of the criticism she’s faced in the past. In 1997, upon coming out as gay, she lost her self-titled sitcom and was largely exiled from pop culture until the debut of her talk show in 2003. DeGeneres draws numerous parallels between that experience and what’s happened to her recent years, as if they were fuelled by the same impulse.

But it’s a wildly confusing comparison; one was fuelled by undeniable prejudice, the other by far more complicated allegations. By linking them together, it suggests DeGeneres has placed all forms of criticism under the same umbrella, and that for all the references she makes to being prickly and complicated – and not the “one-dimensional character who gave stuff away and danced every day” – she’s truthfully learnt little in her time off television.

For Your Approval renders DeGeneres an unimpeachable victim to an angry mob, her failings largely inconsequential, her imminent departure from the spotlight a tragedy. “Look what you’ve done,” it seems to insist. “And look at what we’ve now lost.”
