Potentially lovely. Perpetually human.

Disney won’t let us bury on park grounds because of a potential copyright issue with the superman thing.

First of all: splash mountain is a water log ride. There are no places where it just…speeds…up? Its a fucking water log ride???

BECAUSE its a water log ride it DOESNT HAVE RESTRAINTS….it DOES however have a minimum height requirment of 46 inches to ride the ride, so EVEN IF this kid was too small, they WOULD NOT let them ride.

There is no asphault anywhere near the track itself. The CLOSEST you could come is the big drop at rhe end but again, minimum height requirement of 46 inches tall to ride, the angle of the drop and the speed at which you go it is physically impossible to get ‘launched’.

I feel like this is obvious but theres so much obviously wrong about the second addition i suppose i need to state this.

SUPERMAN. ISNT. DISNEY. Superman is DC. The only theme parks that have licenced DC character based rides is six flags.

Six flags, another park that HAS MINIMUM HEIGHT REQUIREMENTS for rides.

That has restraints on rides in which are necesary. Which again, YOU CANNOT RIDE IF YOU DO NOT MEET THE SAFETY GUILDLINES.

Does that sound like it would kill you? Sometimes it does kill us. We're sick of stories of crew people falling asleep at the wheel and dying on the way home from shifts like this. Nobody on a below the line crew is trying to become a millionaire. We want reasonable rest and time to see our families. And we want streaming services to pay their fair share now that streaming is the norm of the industry going forward.

When Covid hit and concerts and conventions weren’t a thing, the local here doing movies and television needed more people and three different productions said he was recommended by workers on set. He took a job filming a big budget movie, I’m not sure on the terminology quite yet but I think as a grip. He had been out of work for a year and a half, and he was excited even though it was not his typical arena. I was equally as excited because this meant a schedule compared to rock and roll gigs and back and forth and no clue what the next day was gonna be. We were both happy the first week or two, when he was going in and getting out at reasonable times after nearly 5/6 years of how it was before. But that quickly changed and I have barely seen him. He gets home at 1am with no time to eat or decompress. Just shower and sleep. He said he’s so exhausted even more so then when he was pulling motors all day on the beams for hours. When he is out early enough, he’s so spent he can barely interact. Thankfully he’s said no to every weekend they’ve asked him to work and hasn’t been shunned or whatever for that, but the amount of “fraturdays” I have seen our close friend on another production work makes me sad and anxious for what that means for our future with this job. He loves the job itself and once again he’s just naturally good at it and has impressed everyone! Fantastic! He’s been asked about getting in future projects already! Woo! But hearing stories of people falling asleep driving home from the studio makes me nervous. People having heart attacks AT work. Going without meals. It makes me very nervous upset MAD. I miss my partner. He hasn’t even gone grocery shopping in maybe two months because he hasn’t been home, so no point in buying food. I work 40 hours and take care of the house and our dog and manage everything. And this is just on the east coast. I can’t imagine how much more insane it is in Hollywood. I want to see him thrive in this industry but not at the expensive of his mental and physical health, I do not want to be a work widow, and following ia_stories on ig has made me feel both sad and comforted at the same time that I am not the only one.

These people MAKE your entertainment. These productions have more than enough money and power to make these work places safe and healthy for everybody. To pay what they’re due. To have reasonable rest and turnarounds. To have a LIFE outside of the studio or location. Outside of that, I hope this spreads outside of film to the other forms of entertainment and those locals start fighting for the same. I am incredibly impressed and hopeful seeing the turnout in the vote where a huge number of members actually voted and voted *nearly* unanimously to strike. While I hope a strike is not needed, I do hope this staggering showing of solidarity makes them shake in their boots a little and come to negotiation with IATSE, and if a strike does happen I hope everyone supports by doing what they can to also show solidarity.

and not Socialist Deprivation
