Another piece I did for The Nib back in 2015! Gonna keep posting these until they shut down at the end of the summer. It was such a treat to hear that Matt and the whole editorial team just won an Eisner for their work on the magazine and website. Much-deserved.
Anyway: this is a parody and isn't representative of every screenwriter's experience, but it certainly feels relevant with all the strikes rolling out right now. Did you know what kind of credit you get on a film directly impacts how much you're paid? For writers you'll see "created by," "written by," "story by," and all sorts of other things, all of which translate to different levels of compensation! (Highlander, for example, has Story by Gregory Widen and Screenplay by my dad and his writing partner, Larry Ferguson.) The Writer's Guild is often responsible for arbitrating those decisions. They have a whole MANUAL to help writers understand the process. It rules.
Thanks, WGA. Thanks, The Nib. (And you can always make more of these comics possible on Patreon.)

Extremely excited by the fact that the two biggest films of the year both prioritized the use of practical effects where they could have easily used CGI.
Oppenheimer using old-school techniques with real explosives to create the nuclear blast??? WONDERFUL!!!
Barbie taking inspiration from midcentury Hollywood musicals for the real sets and hand-painted backdrops??? SPECTACULAR!!!
I sincerely hope that this will inspire creatives in the industry to use more practical effects in the future. CGI can create some truly incredible visuals, but to me nothing can replace the artistry and authenticity that comes with real sets, effects and people.

Can I just take a moment to talk about the wild transformation Barry Keoghan has had this year (by that I mean like 2023 and 2024 so far)?
In the space of a few months, this man went from being a slept-on actor who was being cut from superhero blockbusters — someone who doesn’t watch award shows or film festivals might have called him a “nobody” despite being an Oscar nominee in several big movies — to this impish, heavily sexualized, and somewhat overexposed (or perhaps overexposed to the point of full on excess) viral pop culture phenomenon.
I mean that quite literally.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a public image transformation like this. A metamorphosis really. Especially for a dude. It’s shocking. It’s brilliant.
You usually see people like Britney Spears or Miley Cyrus do the whole “transition into something more mature” thing to further their careers, but I’ve never seen a man do quite the same thing until now (in my lifetime, at least.) With the same degree of objectification and sexualisation a woman.
Like he’s not just unbuttoning his shirt and posing in jeans or Calvin Klein underwear like other leading men tend to do, he’s fully nude, in latex aprons, latex gloves, false nails and pearl necklaces. He’s covered in blood, lipstick, cummy bath water, god knows what else.
He goes there. Unflinchingly.
Like he’s almost sexually degraded. Degraded in ways men usually aren’t in Hollywood.
(I freaking love Saltburn, I guess I’m not exclusively referring to that, more so his exposure in the media.)
Crazy part is he’s a fantastic actor who doesn’t even have to go there. But he still goes there. And honestly I do hope he does keep working with Emerald. He could be a good muse for her. Assuming he’s going there of his own free will and he’s owning this sexuality that’s been latent inside of him his whole life, good for him.
But this will change his public image and persona forever from now on. He can totally embrace the sex symbol thing if he chooses to, but that can overshadow some actors as it has been known to do that in the past. He has openly idolized bisexual male sex symbols of Old Hollywood, after all.
I just wonder if he can channel all of this and continue being taken seriously as an actor and not become known only for this.
I know he probably needed to do this to become a lead actor and not just a character actor (I’d say the role of Oliver Quick blends both and required both), but I guess we’ll just have to see where all of this goes in time.
Still, you can watch videos of him from years ago and you will still see him, but at the same time it’s like day and night. It’s just very overwhelming.
Anyways I just wanted to get that off my chest.

Well shit, seeing my name up on the big screen for the first time is a literal dream come true. And what a first movie to be credited on. Excuse me whilst I cry and scream and flail and cry some more.

The union said in a statement that the contract "includes "above-pattern" minimum compensation increases, unprecedented provisions for consent and compensation that will protect members from the threat of AI, and for the first time establishes a streaming participation bonus."

How Jacob Elordi became the new King of Hollywood
“It certainly crossed my mind briefly before I’d read the script. I don’t want to tell the same story over, especially because he did such a fine job of portraying this man,” Elordi says. “It’s a completely different thing. And it’s terribly exciting, too, running into the fire a little bit. I can’t think of anything more exhilarating.”

The golden globes host was a mess every celebrity in there looked so uncomfortable
But people saying Taylor swift was “overreacting” which she was she just took a sip of her drink and moved on but when Ryan Gosling didn’t make a face during the Barbie joke people are praising him for doing the bare minimum like what??? (No hate to Ryan whatsoever)
Also both jokes were incredibly bad it was Taylor swift biggest year breaking records with her tour and then movie being nominated but the host just went lets mention the NFL and Barbie being the most successful box office movie last year which was directed by women but let’s just ignore those achievements and let’s make and sexist jokes about it
Like wtf disappointed but not surprised

Employees of the Fleischer Studios picket the New Criterion Theater to protest the showing of Popeye and other cartoons drawn by striking Fleischer artists, 1937. The five-month strike led to the first union contracts in animation, a later strike at the Disney studios, and groundbreaking new works from frustrated employees who left these animation shops to set out on their own.
