Thats not a bad idea if they can figure out distribution. I could see the studios playing dirty there, and keeping distributors away.

Yeah, that would complicate things.
That was something that I wasn't totally serious about though, hence the emoji. But what you say would indeed be a hurdle.
I'm sure this has been mentioned before, but I guess according to The Next Generation episode "The Neutral Zone," television as a form of entertainment didn't last much beyond 2040.
So we're about on schedule.
I see there's also an interesting connection between that episode when it aired in 1988 and the 1988 Writers Guild strike.
EDIT:
As Sulu would say, "Oh my."
Wait...

William, what you're suggesting is a studio entertainment co-operative. And in London, a well qualified professional on a salary of 30K can't even find basic fucking housing and it's a similar story with Los Angeles with stupid high rents for underpaid writers and actors, now that California is decades past its post-1930s "boom" Golden Era.
We're not living through a 70s/80s/90s style economic recession, we're back in the equivalent of the 1930s with a possible undeclared global depression triggered by Covid and a major escalating European war.

Maybe for a certain generation who missed in influx of US culture and language but growing up in the 90s and 00s both that and the extension of the word were common place.
Writers and Actors protest as much as you can to get your money because the studio will continue to make money after you all die; it would be nice for them to have an estate and continue to make something from the work you all contributed to. Fight fight FIGHT!!!
It being a homophobic slur was kinda invisible in 90s/00s UK (it was still known about, but it got drowned out by the native UK derogatory terms for LGBT+ that were misused by the bigoted knuckle draggers in the playground and local park).
Charismatic actors and articulate writers immediately garnered more sympathy from millions than the remote, aloof corpo weirdos in suits....
Before we drag things off topic it may have depended where in the country you were living.
I can tell you for certain that in Liverpool it was perfectly common to be used
I'm in Bristol, so the term may haved not trickled down until soon after the turn of the Millennia.
Meanwhile public human punching bag, David Zaslav, has claimed the strike saved WB-Disc over 100 million dollars.
Ah fairs. Think also that Liverpool having a significant population from Ireland where the word was also common.
Then throw in Bristol being much more socially progressive and it make sense how far apart our initial thoughts on it were
That makes him sound like the victim, which gets it backwards. He's the one with the power, and he's abusing it massively to hurt many, many other people to feed his own greed.
Wonder how much it'll have COST WB in whatever Quarter and Year (2024...2025?) when WB (along with all the other Studios) has to start ramping up their Production pipeline and they all have to pay more because of all the ancillary support businesses (prop rental houses, location scouting companies, etc.) That either went out of business as a result of the strike; or will be charging a pretty penny because every studio will be vying for their services at the same time...?
How much of Season 3 was shot before all hell broke loose? were all 10 episodes at least written?
None. They were in pre-production and going to begin principle photography on S3E1 in about 2 weeks when the WGA strike hit; and untimely Paramount decided to pause any actual filming until the strike was resolved.
He brought the public upon himself (and he's a victim of the Peter Principle), but fixating the public dislike on Zalav himself too much is redirected the attention away from Disney's Bob Iger and the management at NBC-Universal (when their masks have slipped as well and joining in with Zaslav's stupidity).
Robert Beltran is being his usual self at STLV and following the strike guidelines at all.

These strike rules are preposterous. Who are they to forbid their members to talk about past work?SAG and WGA should go f themselves… at least they are now at a point where union members realize that their demands will not be met. Also, many writers and actors are close to bankruptcy due to the very limited strike payments.
Let’s just hope for the sake of all the lazy writers and actors that they come to their senses before they are getting replaced by prompt masters at ai tools.
Go studios!
I hope you're not expecting to be taken seriously after writing a statement like that.
Keyboard warrior rolls a 20.
