As a Teamster union steward, any time I hear about a last, best, final, I immediately get super skeptical. Which one is it? Last? Best? Or final?
Probably not best. Probably not last. Final? Doubtful.
Whatever the offer, triple it, then double that. SAG has these motherfuckers by the balls. Double the triple double. Fuck them all.
ha, isnt it always the last offer? i mean, if it wasnt they would wait for the next!
its like finding your keys, theyre always in the last place you look!
It's just awkwardly worded. The SAG reported they've received an offer from the studio, in which they studio called "the last, best, and final" offer they're (sag) going to get.
It's blatantly untrue, though. If the actors don't accept it are the studios going to just close up shop? No. So it's absolutely not the final offer unless they accept it.
Agreed. It's just studio bravado. "THIS IS MY LAST, BEST, AND FINAL OFFER PARKER!" as Spiderman continues and JJJ keeps paying despite his previous outburst.
Yeah, it's just bullshit. They said the same thing during the writer's strike before making two more offers.
Not if you keep looking 🤔
That was a Jeff Foxworthy bit.
"Hey, Jeff, you find your wallet?"
"Yeah, but I'm still lookin' for it. Just in case we're livin' in a parallel universe."
you keep looking for things after you find them? i guess everyone needs a hobby
It's called ADHD, I sometimes go looking for my phone while it's right in my hand.
I've been known once or twice to find my keys (or phone, that wrench, etc.) get distracted immediately after, then go back to looking for thembecause that's what I remember doing before I got distracted while they're right there in my hand.
You could arguably say that I re-lost them and started a new search, but I think it's funnier to say I kept looking after it's been found.
I will do it for $1m and this is my 4th to last offer. 😤
Please help us help the studio executives find a better offer by buying some swag here.

Oh look, it’s fake Margot Robbie again
You leave our Margot alone!
Pretty sure that's the real Margot Robbie, check their post history! It's really cool that Margs is part of the community!!
oh yeah, check the post history, some how Margot Robbie is an expert in programming IDEs: https://lemm.ee/comment/5424323
Pretty sure this is some Linux nerd running an elaborate joke. Nothing in Margot Robbie’s bio, or interviews suggest a background or interest in programming.
Knowing the difference between VS and VSCode hardly makes me an expert on IDEs. Even if the subject came up (and it never does), why would I ever brag about having basic knowledge of random subjects on national TV?
Also, if I remember correctly, wasn't there this recent summer blockbuster where the female protagonist defying stereotype and saying something unexpectedly knowledgeable or insightful was a recurring (and somewhat overused) joke?
But some inexplicable reason, I just can't recall the name of that movie, only in theater July 21st.
Have you ever mentioned Lemmy in any official communication?
Because I would love to see any tangible proof it's the real MR.
I'll wait post strike, no hurry here.
Jokes aren't as funny if you explain them.
When the right time comes, you'll know.

Hello Margot Robbie!
Hi!
"Final offer"
Sure...
They already did, it's called "reality" television and it's why we have the show COPS. However bored people have more entertainment options this time around, and more direct sources of information about the strike.
So does this mean actors will leave Hollywood en masse, buy their own cameras and equipment, use open source CGI or just rip off the bigwigs' programs, and we can go back to making movies for art and not for capitalist commodities and mindless propaganda?
Hahaha... haha... no
Were the WGA happy with their deal? I also would like to see this end as the theaters are running out of material, next will be a Ben Shapiro rom-com.
