Oh boy, this fuckery is the gift that keeps on giving.

This in the production thread please delete

of course every time something negative happens toward PP, DC is quick to jump on it

[dragonflies]

and if they do they're allowed, that's why it's called an OPINION cause heaven forbid anyone say something bad about PP *eye roll*

[ChitHappens]

But some may not find it there. How many times has something been posted in a thread only for it to be "breaking news" in a new thread? This is breaking news and it deserves a post of its own.

I'm glad that this had its own thread otherwise I never would have seen it.

Tired of the pages and pages of random talk about Jack and Todd in the other thread about OL's production. It's not news.

If people want to talk about jack's "bisexuality" or what color shorts he had on that day, feel free....but start a separate discussion thread please.

All I hope for is that PP corrects its mistake, compensates the crew members, and makes sure never to do it again. Problem solved, and everyone's satisfied.

Off topic and annoying...please delete.

I'll say, lol. Every time I turn around, it seems, PP is embroiled in another hot mess. I hope this gets resolved soon, though, and both parties (PP and IATSE) walk away happy.

PP: Bringing. Drama. Closer.

LMFAO!

Keep this thread up.

The OLTL/AMC production threads are annoying.

And really, I just need to take a deep breath and at this.

WTF is going on at PP?

I guess with the fvckery going on with OLTL/the ABC lawsuit, they had to find a way to bring AMC into the WTF action?

[John]

here is a thought from DC which sounds plausable: The par budge per episode is supposed to be around $80k.

Since there is no way PP spent "more than double" $125k (e.g. $250k+) on any AMC episode, if you read between the lines this has to do with the union trying to re-calculate/re-define the cost of each episode with regard to amortization, depreciation, etc. in light of the recent production output cutback.

It's not really a controversy. The union's members are not thrilled at their work being cut in half so the union is attempting to get them something extra. This type of stuff is just part of doing business.
