  1. It’s not just indies though. Plenty of projects are on hold because of the strikes and there’s a good chance iatse will be striking soon as well so expect this shit to continue.

  2. I’m really enjoying her current media streak, she’s been dropping some excellent takes.

  3. That’s bc all the kids flock to corporate IP like lemmings

  4. I think it’s disheartening how tough it is for regular actors to get gigs if they aren’t related to someone

  5. Specially if you have no connections in the industry…

  6. “*sigh*….anyway, go see Madame Web in theaters this Valentine”s Day.”

  7. If only someone with millions of dollars and ties to others with *millions* of dollars could step in to help. But *where* would she find such people?

  8. May I suggest *Roar 2* with the whole Hedren clan?

  11. Thank god she was born with enough money to never need a job.

  14. Anyone who has seen her acting already understands the bleakness of Hollywood

  15. Worked in the industry for a number of years and she’s 100% right. It’s a really depressing time right now.

  16. That is what happens when you don’t pay the same workers that make you look good.

  17. My friend and I have reached the *”Screw it, we just need to make something good and get noticed”* phase. The industry is so incredibly gated socially and economically. We just have to push ahead and make the stuff we believe in and hope for the best.

    And you know what? It forced us to buckle down and in our opinion, has spawned better material and even a few interested parties to help. Maybe that wouldn’t have happened if we kept trying to break into it the normal way. So I’ve pretty much given up getting into the industry like that.

  18. Business majors working at corporations are risk adverse and lack creativity. They have no business working in entertainment IMO. Art is inherently “risky” commercially. They should fucking cell widgets. Corporations don’t innovate anymore. They cut costs. She’s right. It’s fucked.

  19. “I was just telling my dad, Don Johnson, about how I told my grandma, Tippi Hedren, this same thing. But yeah Madame Web”

  20. Putting aside indies, it would be nice to see a return of mid budget adult dramas that can make good box office. Oppenheimer is an exceptional case.

  21. It’s disheartening to see her keep getting hired when she’s a mediocre actress at best.

  22. Sigh anyways my dad is Don Johnson and I’m married to a man in the biggest band in the world. Money is tight 😔

  23. Says the girl who cashed the checks for the 50 Shades and Marvel franchises. Please.

  24. Most of these Hollywood actors could fund their own indie films. But they won’t.
