  • I’m working 4x10s now. It isn’t any better. I usually do nothing on my day off because I’m exhausted. We can’t work more than 10 hours a day, so I’m no longer able to make up missed time except for my day off, and they didn’t wanna pay extra for holidays, so we swap back to 5x8s on holiday weeks, and the week before. Since they also wanted people in the shop every day, so, they did a rotating schedule because some people would complain if the holiday placement benefited someone else more.








  • I am personally convinced that Hollywood is trapped under the thumb of executives that “know better.” They force terrible decisions and limit the creative vision of everyone else involved. When it works, they think it was only themselves that made it work. When it fails, it was the directors, actors, other crew, or even the fans that were at fault. I firmly believe that was the biggest change with the mcu. Once the original chapter was over, they couldn’t stay back anymore and started taking control again. I saw the new Deadpool, and I thought it was great. I firmly believe that’s because Ryan Reynolds is a big part and makes most of the calls, because he’s a creative. When you get a creative, they have passions that help the vision form, the executives should only be tasked with finding people with a passion for the current project. While sometimes that doesn’t work, it’s almost always because the creative teams passions didn’t line up with the project.
