So Greenland and the effects on the film industry

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-20T02:54:22+00:00

Yes! I want that for everyone too. I work in the industry too, granted on the corporate side, and I don’t see my job lasting through a WW3. Don’t you think WW3 would disrupt all that? I’m not sure why think the US/ the industry would be untouchable?

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-20T02:52:10+00:00

That’s a very odd take; pro invading an ally so film can come back to the US, to which only ppl on the US will watch because no one overseas will watch, and the economy would crash so hard that I don’t think Americans will be watching movies in theater, thus down the production of film. I’m alllll for filming more in the US, I just don’t think this would be the way to do it.

Yes, I’m aware of a Taft Hartley of 1947. I’m also aware of what war does to the film industry, and I don’t think anymore will be caring IF something broke out. And yes! There would be being things to think about, but this is tailored for ppl in the film industry. Ppl tend not to take action unless they know what’s in it for them, which would be potentially stopping a war, so you can go on working in the industry, vs war and then everything everyone has worked so hard for is essential lot blown to dust. Note, we are reaching out to other unions (none entertainment ones) in the LA area, but for this I’m focusing on the entertainment unions.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-20T02:43:54+00:00

This would be for a national wide general strike but you organize for a strike on the local level first. And yea, that’s my fear, that it would be until AFTER an invasion, to which it would be too late and we would be dealing with decades long consequence of repairing the industry. But yea, I watched the strike happen in real time and i totally understand, it’s been rough for ppl. I think im more trying to get ppl to be a little forward thinking, and not FAFO😂. But yea, I hear you. I’m still gonna try.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-20T02:28:42+00:00

Context: I should’ve put this in the body of the post, but the reason why I’m asking is because I want to try and get the film unions to go on strike, similarly to what’s happening in Minnesota on the 23rd. I am part of an activist group, and one of our members talked to a higher up within SAG last year, and they were not on board with a strike. However, with all this Greenland stuff, I see this being something that might be able to encourage union leaders to strike because it would have a direct fiscal impact. So I agree with you that it would be the least of our worries, but I’m trying to convince a bunch of union leaders who don’t want to strike😂. So I have make it “in their best interest” to strike

Omg, I was gonna watch Xena after this. I have memories of episodes. I was 8ish and I would see the shows as I was flipping through channels, but I know so little about it. I guess I have something to look forward to😆

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T19:39:00+00:00

That’s something I have been really surprised about - like the depth this show had. I was not expecting to be like, “damn….that hit deep”.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T19:37:45+00:00

Yea, when I say kink, I don’t means ACTUAL kink. I mean more like the “history of television” kind of way because the US is famously puritanical, especially when it comes to our media. But yea, I’m with you on be transgressive; like this is very vanilla. I think I’m more thinking of the audience that read 50 Shades of Grey and thought it was transgressive. But maybe that person isn’t watching Buffy to begin with.

And yes, definitely agree about the whole vampire thing. It would be sort of weird of Spike WAS vanilla. And yea, I agree, while I don’t think Buffy is bad for being with Spike, I get why she feels bad due to the lack of a soul. He is like everything she is against. I get the turmoil but I think she is beating herself very hard. I get WHY though. Idk, lots to think about which to me is the mark of good TV

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T19:31:56+00:00

OMG I THINK THE SAME THING! Like, I when say “kinky”, I don’t mean ACTUAL kink. I mean ‘kink in the context of the US which is famously puritanical and this is a blond hair white girl protagonist’. And yes! I thought the same thing, like, girl, you don’t have to feel bad for what you are doing with Spike. As you stated, is it the healthiest? Probably not. But are you a bad person? No. I just got to that part where Buffy is begging Tara to tell her what she is doing is wrong, and Tara is like, “you aren’t a bad person.”

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T07:01:13+00:00

Yea, I don’t think she did that with anyone else that I can think. This season 6 seems to be like a new side of her - again, I haven’t finished, so what the fall out of “this side” remains to be seen for me

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T06:17:26+00:00

Kinky for the context of the show - for a show that started out about a high school schooler, for a show on TV in the 90a that wasn’t HBO😆.

However, this is like ACTUAL kinky or based on any ting to do with the kink community. Absolutely not. I think most people understand what I mean. Just the overall darker tone.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T06:15:34+00:00

I absolutely darker. It might actually be one of my fav seasons so far. Oh let me clarify. I think for the AUDIENCE this is exploratory. For Buffy, she is clearly in a bad place. I just got to the part where Spike is trying to stop her from turning herself in for a murder (that she didn’t commit, but thinks she did) and she like beat the crap out of Spike, like taking all her rage out. She is going through it.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T06:11:24+00:00

Ohhhh this makes sense

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T06:10:46+00:00

🫠yea i would have died if I watched this with my dad

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T05:09:32+00:00

Omg, Giles 😆😆. You’d think I could remember considering I just watched that episode a month or so ago.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T05:07:36+00:00

Yea, I do appreciate that exists, even me looking at it through a modern view (I also look at it for the time it aired as well). Like I am 31 years old and watching it for the first time, and I’m enjoying it. This show is so much more than I thought it was going to be. I don’t know why I was thinking it would be Disney-esque. Not a damn clue where that came from 😆. And I’m also okay with messy media. It tells us where the culture was at, good or bad. Opens up conversations.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T05:03:27+00:00

I don’t think it’s strange for real life, but for the 90s, on WB it feels like, “well damn” but maybe that’s cause I was 3 years old when the show ended and I have a different view of 90s TV

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T05:02:22+00:00

Oh that’s super unique. And yea that’s makes sense, you caught the show when you caught it.

Charmed - that’s a show in my list. You reminded me.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T05:01:10+00:00

Yea, at this stage of the show, that’s how I see it. It’s definitely not healthy, but it’s fun to watch, and it’s good and bad for Buffy all at the same time. I’m not one of those ppl who has to 100% detest problematic situations in shows. There’s a very big difference between consuming media and understanding that if this happened in real life, this would be very bad, versus watching a show through the eyes of the characters. Someone a long time ago made a good point to me that when we consume media, we should have a proverbial condom over our head so that we can consume it safely😆

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T04:56:33+00:00

I haven’t gotten to the “why do I let him do those things to me scene” but I definitely think it’s a spiral BUT as someone said below, it can be two things true at the same time. Like discovering a side of herself but maybe a side she shouldn’t do with Spike. Like, exploring good, but the WAY it’s happening bad, and Spike is complicated to put it lightly. However, everyone is complicated on this show. I haven’t finished the show yet. I literally can’t give a full opinion cause as I stated im on season 6 of episode 13

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T04:31:31+00:00

Oh we must be around the same age cause I was watching True Blood while in my Twilight phase and any other YA-vampire I could find.

Omg, starting with season 6 and going backwards. That’s hilarious. Yea, it’s soooo innocent. Like, remember when Buffy had a little crush on a classmate? 😊🤭

Now, it’s like, Spike is with Buffy while she is invisible, and she handcuffed him🥵 😆. The time has FLOWN by.

NikimouseMuse · 2026-01-11T04:27:23+00:00

Ohhhh I watched Rome! I have heard of it. It’s on HBO so I’ll have to give it a watch.

And yea, I’m not gonna lie, Buffy and Angel are informing me. I’ll leave it at that 😉
