08:04

nominated for taxi driver and they are

08:07

08:09

tonight 1976 was the

08:13

year and that's pretty

08:20

crazy in 1976 Jodie Foster is young

tickets Stephen and his wife K Capa

10:49

donated a lot of money to help actors

10:51

and writers who are out of work over the

10:52

summer we were on strike for a long time

10:55

for 148 days for 5 months this group of

10:59

writers actors directors the people who

11:02

actually make the film said we will not

11:04

accept a deal well not the directors you

11:07

guys folded immediately but the rest of

11:09

us said we will not accept a deal

11:12

without protections against artificial

11:14

intelligence and as a result actors no

11:17

longer have to worry about getting

11:19

replaced by AI thanks to this historic

11:21

agreement actors are now able to go back

11:24

to worrying about being replaced by

11:26

younger more attractive people and I

11:28

think that's great and writers could AI

11:31

have written Transformers rise of the

11:33

beasts yes the answer is yes we learned

11:37

a lot while we're out on those picket

11:38

lines this the strike raised existential

11:40

questions about our industry like if a

11:43

movie premieres at the Grove and there

11:45

are no actors there to promote it does

11:47

Mario Lopez make a

11:50

sound and now that the strike is over

11:53

now that Fran dresser has returned to

11:55

her volunteer work reading loudly to the

11:57

hearing impaired we can be proud of the

11:59

fact that this long and difficult work

12:01

stoppage taught us that this very

12:04

strange town of ours as pretentious and

12:06

superficial as it could be at its heart

12:08

is a union town it's it's not just a

hardworking mentally tough American

12:26

laborers women and men who would 100 %

12:29

for sure die if we even had to touch the

12:31

handle of a

shovel but the reason we were able to

12:35
