These stories in the trades have some SAG-AFTRA members concerned. First, these are likely a kernel of truth under a steaming pile of studio spin. But let’s cut to the chase. Is Fran Drescher eccentric? Hell yes. And there’s enormous power in that.🧵
Lol. Big brain executives that love to play mindgames and bully people seen as beneath them with power moves get really upset when someone throws that shit back in their faces.
The trades are doing the same shit they did with the writers. Don't fall for it. Stay strong.
When the report is about the "how" rather than the "what", it is a bad report and adds no value to a discussion. The "how" can be interesting in general, if it pertains to how the "what" got achieved. It is great to see though, that SAG-AFTRA has such unrelenting negotiators!
CEOs are used to being in rooms with people they can control. People who are afraid of them. From the start of this negotiation, Fran has made it clear that they cannot control her — and she is not afraid of them. That scares the shit out of CEOs and gives SAG-AFTRA power.
My take on this is that when negotiating with Capitalists, it's good to give them the impression that you have a chip on your shoulder & are not totally rational. They /should/ be a bit scared of you.
