What the fuck are the studios gonna do, make movies and shows without actors?
Highlights: The negotiating committee of the actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, told its members on Saturday that it had received a “Last, Best and Final Offer” from the major entertainment studios as a strike that has brought much of Hollywood to a standstill continued for a 114th day.
“We are reviewing it and considering our response within the context of the critical issues addressed in our proposals,” the negotiating committee said. They did not say when they would respond to the offer, which came after an hourlong video conference call that included top studio executives.
Included in the offer was a wage increase that could be the highest in four decades, according to a person familiar with the offer who spoke on condition of anonymity because of the sensitivity of the negotiations. The studios also offered the actors a new way to determine residuals for streaming programs based on performance metrics, and protections on artificial intelligence, including consent and compensation requirements. The studios also offered an increase to the pension and health funds.
What’s the difference between last and final?
Last week I went out for dinner. I hope this week isn’t my final week, that would be sad.
If i gave you the last pretzel in my box, wouldn’t that also be the final pretzel? I understand the semantics, it’s just funny to me.

I don’t disagree. In context though, it’s the last (read latest), best and final (there will be no more) offer.
Last pretzel in the box is not the last pretzel on Earth. Yes, it’s semantics.
Probably nothing, and that’s just another reason I don’t believe them.
Its the last version ist the one you just got, the final the one with the filename “offer_final_final_nowreally_2.0_final_actuallyfinal.pdf”
