Can someone give some context? It seems I'm out of the loop.

Is Stallone scabbing?

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 103 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Filmed a promo intro for the NFL on Fox for their pregame show and they gave a shout out to his documentary coming out on Netflix.

You can say "cunt" on the Internet.

Yes he cunt I checked before

[-] Prunebutt@feddit.de 9 points 1 year ago

I was afraid that the skelleton warriors theme was gonna play if I do.

[-] SuckMyWang@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Cunt. Huh, you’re right!

[-] reverendsteveii@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Crunt.

Wait a minute, lemme try again.

Curbt.

Well f*ck...

They can also not say cunt if they don't wanna. Why you gatekeeping censorship

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 28 points 1 year ago

Sorry but I'm still not following... Can you explain it with full nuance? Was this during the strike?

[-] Decoy321@lemmy.world 76 points 1 year ago

Actor strike is still going on. Only the writers strike ended.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Sure... But that doesn't answer my question. When did production start? Etc. one sentence replies really aren't helping. Source?

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 118 points 1 year ago

During the strike actors arent supposed to promote any projects, Stallone had been actively promoting his project and not just that but filming a promo for the NFL on fox. Doing work during a strike makes you a scab, its not that hard to understand.

[-] soloner@lemmy.world 47 points 1 year ago

Thanks! That's all I was looking for... appreciate you!

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

No problem!

[-] Taringano@lemm.ee 35 points 1 year ago

It was veyy hard to understand for me. Thanks for providing this full context now.

[-] echo64@lemmy.world 51 points 1 year ago

If you work for a struck company during a strike, you are a scab. He did work for two struck companies during the strike. He's a scab.

Lol imagine having a go at somebody's reply while you're on the internet and can look it up yourself...

[-] soloner@lemmy.world -4 points 1 year ago

Who else will fall for propaganda (not saying this is that) unless a source or more info is given?

Idk... I'm fine with political memes, but a source should be included..OP should leave a comment after posting with more info.

I'm not a Stallone fan at all, have no bias towards him. And that's my goal, is to retain an unbiased opinion on this stuff. I could google it but then so does everyone else, some of which won't.

Here's a source I found, maybe it will help someone else. You're welcome OP. Maybe next time do this yourself.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Lol, lmao even.

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz -1 points 1 year ago

Wait, you asked OP for that link and he had the fucking gall to not google it for you?! Wow, that's bogus af.

[-] Cranakis@lemmy.one 6 points 1 year ago

There's nothing odd about asking for a source. Wtf are you on about?

[-] YeetPics@mander.xyz -3 points 1 year ago

The issue is not that op was asked for a source. The issue is that the person asking didn't have it handed to them on a silver platter. Keep up.

[-] Selmafudd@lemmy.world -5 points 1 year ago

Brah is a meme community, the shit needs to be funny not true and peer reviewed

[-] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 1 points 1 year ago

What's the problem? Good faith question, not being disagreeable. Does he go on about struggling actors in the documentary? Oh or a famous person using their fame to their advantage?

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago

He filmed a promo for a company that is still actively being struck by his Union, the documentary is about his life or some shit, i dont really know, but either way actors aren't supposed to promote or film during the strike, both of which Stallone has done.

[-] Grayox@lemmy.ml 21 points 1 year ago

Unless it was with a company that reached a deal with their Union such as A24 which has actively been filming for months and were barely effected by the strike cause they came to table in good faith instead of trying to wait the strike out like tge major studios.

[-] bigbluealien@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Is there a list of studios that have come to an agreement? I'd already heard of A24, I guess it could just be them though

[-] MiddledAgedGuy@beehaw.org 3 points 1 year ago

Ah, I was only vaguely aware of the writer's strike and didn't tie that together. It all makes sense now. Thanks for the explanation. That's pretty shitty.

[-] turkalino@lemmy.yachts 2 points 1 year ago

If you watched Tulsa King, this shouldn't come as a surprise. Stallone has unfortunately become the whiniest curmudgeon boomer in history
