Can someone give some context? It seems I’m out of the loop.
Is Stallone scabbing?
Filmed a promo intro for the NFL on Fox for their pregame show and they gave a shout out to his documentary coming out on Netflix.

What’s the problem? Good faith question, not being disagreeable. Does he go on about struggling actors in the documentary? Oh or a famous person using their fame to their advantage?
He filmed a promo for a company that is still actively being struck by his Union, the documentary is about his life or some shit, i dont really know, but either way actors aren’t supposed to promote or film during the strike, both of which Stallone has done.
Unless it was with a company that reached a deal with their Union such as A24 which has actively been filming for months and were barely effected by the strike cause they came to table in good faith instead of trying to wait the strike out like tge major studios.

Ah, I was only vaguely aware of the writer’s strike and didn’t tie that together. It all makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. That’s pretty shitty.

Is there a list of studios that have come to an agreement? I’d already heard of A24, I guess it could just be them though

Oh heavens! How dare he talk about anything but struggling actors! I can’t breath anymore

Do you know what a scab is?

I do not

It’s someone who works during a strike. The strikers are trying to make a “wound” for the business, so someone who helps the business out is “scabbing” the wound

It’s not what he talked about dude, it’s that he filmed at all during a strike.
- ThirdWorldOrder ( @ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee ) 1•8 months ago
Thank you. Makes sense now. Fucking scab

If you watched Tulsa King, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. Stallone has unfortunately become the whiniest curmudgeon boomer in history
