Universal Pictures radically trimmed a bunch of trees outside of their Los Angeles studios that happened to shade the sidewalk where #WGA and #SAGAFTRA were picketing. They were perhaps not legally allowed to touch said trees. #TreeLaw
Over at NBC, also part of Universal, sidewalks have been dug out all around the property, allegedly for repairs but no one digs out three blocks of sidewalks all at once for repairs. This has hampered but not stopped the picketing. /1
Both of the striking unions have been clear to consumers that there are no boycotts. They want us to continue going to movies and they do not want us to cancel our subscription to streaming services.
Yesterday subscribers to #Peacock, NBCUniversal’s streamer, received a notice of an immediate 20% premium hike across all tiers. This will inevitably lead to subscription cancellations which NBCUniversal can point to as proof that streaming revenues are both unpredictable and declining. /2
@virtualbri OH, YOU MEAN PARAMOUNTPLUS & ITS STUPID PRE-SHOW AD REEL? Y'KNOW, THE ADS WE SEE DESPITE PAYING A FULL MONTHLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR THE SERVICE?
Right in the very movie moment when they heard it, the words completely freaked out the sinister skin-walking aliens of John Carpenter’s action-horror classic They Live.

There should be a simple pronunciation test for English commentators on #EPL matches. Commentators who cannot pronounce Martinez correctly simply should not be permitted to call or comment on matches. FFS, it Mar-TEEN-ez not MARTIN-ez. It’s simple boys, get it right or you run the risk of insulting and alienating a bunch of US, South American and Spanish fans of the game. #EnglishPremierLeague#Football#Futbol#Spanish#SayItRight#NBCPeacock#NBC#Sport#Peacock#LeeDixon
On Macy's parade: the obligatory SpongeBob balloon. Guessing the modern equivalent of the old Underdog or Bullwinkle balloons (i.e. some ubiquitous cartoon character).
On Peacock: an ad for WWE (the "Survivor Series" thing someone mentioned). Guess that Black Friday "Peacock for 99 cents a month" sale is timed well after all...
